january 5-11

January 12th, 2009

So far today I have gotten my car washed (I haven’t gotten a car wash in 6 years), done some laundry, put critter ridder around the tree that animals like to eat, priced dirt, learned how many cubic feet are in a cubic yard (27?!?!), worked on some pictures, done some other random stuff…

I need to work on some business-type stuff, but this is just more fun.

So I’m taking a break from posting mexico pictures to catch up with my pictures-of-the-day.

january 5: we got ice (i took this picture through the window because BRRRR)

january 6: we’ve had these peanuts at our house for 2 months….what’s the shelf life on peanuts?

january 7: willow in the window

january 8: a tomato

january 9: avocados (on sale at sprouts: 3 for a dollar! bargain.)

january 10: we made a last-minute trip to wichita falls to meet up with mom & a sister to visit Martha. this was outside of our hotel window

january 11: apples

I have some new recipes to blog, but I’ll leave you with these for now.

Last post from Day 3, I promise.

We came back from the ruins to find swan towels in our room!!!

One day these would be green, the next day they would be red, and the day after that they’d all be eaten by birds. Crazy.

Darek looks real good with that tree growing out of the top of his head…

A game of ping-pong before dinner:

And then dinner at the French restaurant. Began with a crab-cake avocado appetizer:

Followed by an excellent French onion soup:

And some kind of fish fillet for the main course:

Darek didn’t take pictures of all his food, except for the ones with eyes…ew.

Darek’s dessert:

We took a taxi to visit the Mayan ruins a few miles down the beach.

I look so awesome….

Classic darek & stacie:

A little less classic, more touristy:

I LOVE THE BEACH.

A few pictures from around the resort early in the morning, before the crowds woke up.
