Had a great time with the gals at the bodega de vino last night. The food, wine and company were all outstanding and we stayed out enjoying ourselves longer than we ever have. Today's project is a Costco run to stock up so we have essentials like coffee in the apartment when we return. #lifeinMexico
congratulations to FIFA on their incredible choice of recipient for the first FIFA peace prize
Hasn't hurt him yet.
Me looking at the news this morning.
These people used to be portrayed humorously in cartoons. Now they’re serious about it.
While the hubs hikes with a couple of friends in the barranca, I’ll be lunching at the American Society. Later, I’ll be joining my ladies wine group for one last wine & cheese session before we go back to the US for a bit. Happy Thursday. #lifeinMexico
😂😂😂
I absolutely hate AI and make a conscious effort to avoid it at all costs.
Attending my ladies book club today (finally!) where we’ll be discussing Cutting For Stone by Abraham Verghese. In keeping with the theme we’ll be dining on sandwiches and African peanut soup catered by the host’s neighbor. Meanwhile, the hubs will be day drinking on a cantina crawl with his boys.
And why do women need to jump through these kinds of hoops in order to vote anyway? WTAF???
We don’t have RFCs. Our utility bills are in the landlord’s name and we only needed the Mexican phone number to get internet service. We rarely use it. Things are different here.
Change of plan. On-line registration finally worked, so we’re off to the Mi-Bici office instead to update the hubs’ credit card - because it’s not a Mexican card - and then fish tacos for lunch before the farmacía. Errands we must do before we leave for the US next week. 😢
We have to register our Mexican cellphone with a CURP (Clave Único de Registro) in order to keep using it and the on-line registration doesn’t work, like many on-line services here. Thus, we’re taking a trip to our local TelCel office and then to the farmacía to refill a couple of prescriptions.
He keeps saying this. Exactly what does he mean by "people are walking around with no legs," especially dead people? Does anyone know?
I can’t wait to pay for gas in a couple of weeks so that I can help move a family member across California. When does it freeking end with this guy? #TrumpsGasProblem
The hubs left early for a board meeting at the American Society, so I have the apartment to myself again this morning. Too bad I'm doing nothing more interesting than laundry, although I will be meeting him for a sushi lunch later with another dear friend who's also a board member. #lifeinMexico
Today is International Women’s Day and the annual march scheduled to begin in el centro has in the past few years devolved into vandalism of a lot of property and defacement of the city with spray paint and graffiti. Women have a lot to be angry about and today they will show it. #lifeinMexico
The hubs is going to a bullfight today and I’m going to stay home, cook some food, open a bottle of wine and binge watch the latest season of Bridgerton. #lifeinMexico
Actually we just quit a couple of years ago. But it still affects us because the time we watch sports in TV changes! 😂
You should join Democrats Abroad in Chapala. They have one of the largest chapters in Mexico. Also, they’ll teach you how to vote from abroad which I assume you will be doing now.
Our DiDi driver the other day was wearing a Trump for president MAGA hat the other day and he obviously spoke English. We were wondering whether he had been deported! I didn’t speak to him. I was appalled. Yes, Republicans seem to take pride in being stupid. Sorry that happened to him. 😕
Thankfully, we don’t do that here in Mexico
I hope he "doesn't have time" because he is at the very end of his life?
We'll be spending our Saturday evening attending the annual general meeting of Democrats Abroad Guadalajara. One friend is the chapter president, another who will be speaking is the national DA membership chair. Our chef friends will be catering the refreshments and there will be wine. #GOTVMexico
We couldn’t find a carnicería open yesterday so we’re going to try again today either before or after we have carne en su jugo with our lunch group. Although I’m not too excited about the idea of dining with a group of 40 people, it’ll be good to see friends. #lifeinMexico
Late this afternoon we had a delivery from our favorite local butcher who dropped off half a rack of fresh spare ribs which the hubs is now grilling on the balcony. I believe this calls for an old fashioned or two while we wait for them to cook.
No plans for today other than going to the mercado for fresh fruits, vegetables, cereal and other items and maybe a pork knuckle (chamorro) if we can spot an open carnicería. That’s tough to find on Fridays during Lent. The ceviche restaurants will be packed with diners today, too. #lifeinMexico
You got that right.
I've been saying for the last 40 years that in the US video games are treated like wars and real wars treated like video games, but this official WH video takes it to a whole new level. It's disgusting.
