Recuerdo de Monterrey

Team Rodriguez had a grrrreat vacay to Monterrey, Mexico. Short - but a vacay nonetheless. We hit the road (with Janelle and Desiree in tow, our good friends who accompanied us on our cruise back in 2006) on Thursday evening and got to Ruben's Dad's early Friday morning. After a nap, shower and delish meal we were ready to see some sights. We hit up a market and did a lot of lookin' at the goods to be sold. Later we cooked out and I enjoyed tecate light with a fresh lemon from the tree in the front yard. It was beautiful weather but quite cold in the evening. Saturday we went into the city. Downtown was crazy packed with people, came to realize because everyone was shopping for Christmas, duh. We went to another market and then to visit some relatives on Ruben's Mom's side of the family. We wrapped up the evening with more food from the grill, ahhhhh. It was very relaxing and we got to see a lot in a short time. I was thankful to have a fun, safe trip. We got home and had to unpack and head out to do a few last minute Christmas errands. I'm tired now but my head will feel so good once it hits the pillow in a bit :)

Good night, sleep tight.

Wordless Wednesday

Bleh.

Happy Tuesday :) Here in the home of Team Rodriguez are 3 sad sickies. Coughing. Sneezing. Sore throat. Feeling kinda blue. For some reason the worst of it always seems to be in the evening and early morning. It's so beautiful outside today. I took Kramer out and sadly he seems to be the most upbeat of us! Hopefully we can kick this thing and cheese it outta here on Thursday and head down to Monterrey.

Hope everyone is feeling good and groovy! I can't believe the Holiday's are almost over, ah!

Happy 28th to me!

So I headed off to NYC with Krystal and Ana for a couple days of fun in the Big Apple. The city was cold and snowy, we divulged ourselves in a little shopping, eating and girl time. A short but sweet trip was just right, we had a great time and I was happy to get home to my baby cj, and her dad of course ;) Here is the one pic I took the whole freakin' time we were there:

Then came the slumber party. OMG, it was a night to remember. I may be getting older but being silly with your girlfriends never will! We had so, so, so much fun. Jen was an awesome hostess. She made CD's as favors for everone with 80's songs on it. (This CD came in mucho handy last week when I was in need of new cleaning music.) The food was yum-o, dang I ate a lot! We gabbed, drank, crashed a neighbors party and played a HILARIOUS game of truth or dare.

Good times, good times! Thank you everyone for everything :)

An early birthday surprise...

...showed up on my doorstep tonight! Maria, Til, Fabs, and Sarah looked so freakin' cute standing holding a birthday cake with the candles lit and their party hats on, singing happy birthday :) Ruben was out working and when the doorbell rang I thought it was Maria. Checked the side door and no Maria. Peeped out the front window, saw no one. Called out "who is it?!" and heard a cute little voice say "Matilda! " It was too sweet. Dinner, dessert and the company of Las Sucias was one heck of a gift. Thank you, girls!
