I miss my family & my dogs terribly. Today is Shonnie's 21st birth day & I am going to miss it. :( I called her & wished her a happy Bday. After our conversation I started to cry. It's a milestone of hers that I won't be there for. She is probably at the Bayou as we speak eating dinner & having delicious beverages with Erik, Kelly & Dave. In lieu of celebrating with them in America, we are having family movie night watching Mr. Bean's Holiday. Sidenote: It's really a challenge for me to watch Mr Bean because the manner in which he goes about things drives me crazy! There are literally parts in the movie where I want to jump into the TV and do it MYSELF! For example, when he asked a random guy to take his pic in front of the train... it takes him like FIVE times to capture Mr Bean the "right" way and then Mr Bean spills the dudes coffee! DAH! I would have thrown the camera at his face after the 2nd attempt. Back to my story, I was sitting on our nice cold tile floor in the living room trying to watch the movie(because our 3 peice sofa set still isn't enuf to accomodate 9 Romeros) and pretty soon I started to feel an unusual sensation in my bottom. Concerned, I stood up and immediately felt that pins & needles feeling in my BUTTOCKS! For the first time in my life I actually made my bum FALL ASLEEP!!! This was definitely something I had never experienced before.

The big 21 and I missed it.
1.31.10 On in this day we went to get avocados from this lady that Porfirio always buys avocados from. She usually gives him 3 large for 15 pesos. Porfirio didn't join us today so we went to purchase from her without him. Wouldn't you know it, she charged us TWICE the amount she charges him! She wanted to give us 3 for 30 pesos. So we asked how much it would be for 2, and she said 25. WHAT!?! Frances said that when these independant Mexican vendors see pale skin & blue eyes staring back at them you can count on paying more than the locals. Ugh. It's so dumb! I understand they do what they have to do to make a living but when this is not the first time we've purchased from this lady, you don't just up the price when the Mexican is not with us!!! This happened with an orange juice vendor as well. When you're living on the peso instead of the American dollar, it can get frustrating being upcharged because you're white. Needless to say, we shop at the Bodega Aurrera for most stuff because it is an actual store that cannot change their prices due to the color of your skin.
