In my last post I made mention of perhaps being swindled by repair men but I have been spared! I now have a working fridge WOO HOO!
Last Sunday I went to my husband´s ball game and met the fate of being hit in the leg with the baseball which left a very huge bruise.
I´m glad to announce that I am way ahead of schedule for Christmas. Usually I don´t start decorating until the second week of December and every year I say next year I am going to be ready to decorate way earlier Since Thanksgiving isn´t celebrated here in Mexico I haven´t been busy prepàring for guests and making food so I´ve been able to focus a little more on other things. For example...
I pulled out all of my pictures and finally fixed my huge frame that holds 1 8x10, 2 5x7, and 12 4x6. It took me longer than usual because the frame was badly molded from the humidity so I had to doctor it up and clean, clean, clean it up.
The house is still coming together. Here are a few of my peeves as of late.
1) Every morning I have to go outside and pick up 5-7 doggie dumplings in my front yard. Ever since we finished remodling the front yard is still wide open and with a lot of rock and sand where the doggie´s love to take a dump. It´s driving me crazy because I don´t even have dogs Plus, I can´t let one day pass without picking up the dumplings or else I can´t leave my front door open to let in the breeze because all I get is an ugly stench.
2) All the traffic uses my yard to turn around. I know it´s not a big deal but after a while it gets annoying because they almost make it up to my front window.
Ok, I´m done venting for now. That pretty much sums up my week, I hope to start sharing pictures but can never seem to come prepared to the ciber.
I have an idea of setting up a desk at home to have a working area. However, I have run out of tables and need to buy a new one which I hope will serve as both table and side table whenever needed. We´ll see but that is the plan.
Well, tootlz for now, its dark here and so I´m off for some pan con leche para cenar.
Love hearing about your life, so different from going into the office every day. The dog poop is yucky, would you consider building a small fence to keep them out and the traffic? Great news about the fridge.
ReplyDeleteA fence does sound like the answer, you could always cover it with vines....a green fence is most beautiful. Can't wait to see pictures of your new home sweet home.
ReplyDeleteOhh the doggie troubles in Mx. Cant wait to see some more updated photos of your casa. Take care.
ReplyDeleteOr piled stones to create a distinct surrounding area. Ocotillo fence? I don't know what I would find more annoying, the turning around cars (dust, noise, proximity) or the dumplings. Get some Cayenne – and sprinkle it on the areas of your yard where the dog poops.
ReplyDeleteI’ve found that dogs don’t poop where/when they can’t smell. The pepper either overpowers other smells, or confuses them. Good luck.
The turning around in my yard would drive me crazy too. The green fence idea seems like a good solution.
ReplyDeleteI finally figured out how to post comments on here. Hope you had a good time Christmas decorating out there. Deanne and I just decorated the office this week for Christmas :)
ReplyDeleteContessa:Yes very different than going to the office every morning. Our plans are to build a temporary fence but just haven´t gotten around to it. Believe me when I say it will happen soon.
ReplyDeleteMary: Hope to post some pictures soon. You read my thoughts exactly about covering the fence with greenery. If you can believe it my house is on barren land with not one green living thing. It is sad I know a house without plants is a sad one but I will get to it soon.
Lisa n Javi: You have know idea! Everyday I want to pull my hair out.
Zoe: Cayenne hmm never heard of that before, I wonder what they call it here in Mex?
rubireyes: Yes I´m liking that idea very much too.
Santiaga: I really do miss you guys!! Tell Dee I say hello, (did you know she is the grinch of Christmas - I really do miss her) Oh and Just wondering are you guys doing the White Elephant this year?
Time for a new post hortita!!
ReplyDeleteContessa, you beat me to it. '-)
ReplyDeleteHow are your holiday plans going and what is on YOUR calendar with family and friends, Trinidad?
Contessa, best to you for the new year, as well.
Feliz Navidad
