Rough week to follow the rough weekend. We soldiered through, managed to make it to the weekend, where we learned that most everyone had a bad week. weird, but reassuring. Highlights of the week include:
Alfredo dinner with Mike and Colleen, who searched high and low to find us an aloe vera plant [thanks guys!]. We named him Wallace. A few days later, we discovered an itsy bitsy spider on Wallace- the exact same shade of green! Due to the cute factor, said spider will be granted a stay of execution- but if he gets much bigger...
Spaghetti dinner with Nick and Jenny. We watched "House of 1,000 Corpses" afterwards- very solid straight-ahead horror flick courtesy of Mr. Zombie. Now to find "Devil's Rejects"!
We joined Chris for a sushi send-off. Our fave sushi chef is moving to the big city [well, somewhere bigger than our 17,000]. sigh. He was always so friendly and would make our favorite sushis as soon as we walked in. We shall miss him.
And the es mucho fantastico Fiesta hosted by Todd and Alicen! We were super excited to go, for a swingin' time as much as for the tasty food. Caught up with some pals, met some new cool people, ate a lot of Mexi food, drank some strong margaritas. My favorite part was watching Todd and James stay up all night [they were still at it when we left at 5 am! - we went to bed for a few hours, like the wimps we are.], drinking, talking crazy-talk, and generally competing for most entertaining person of the party.
Pair o' jerks that we are, Aaron and I totally forgot to take any pics at the party. sigh.
Next update will have Wadayama pics, so everyone can check out our little town. Oh yeah, and our Makudonarudosu.
