...til our Mexico Road Trip.
This is the highway running through the Mexican city of Bucerias (Boo - ser - ee - us) about 20 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta. My Fella and I spent a fair bit of time here last year looking for a 60 foot internet cable and a good vet.
And if you feel like life's getting away from you and ya need a quick break, check out this tune from Baz Lurhmann. It's a perfect for a snowy Friday.

Fall begins next Tuesday so this is the last weekend of summer 2009.
The Okanagan forecast calls for sunny skies and a high of 28 today. It's my day off but I have some quick errands to run (ship off those baby clothes, restock my fruit bowl, clean old plants off the balcony) and then I'm gonna take a walk to the dock this afternoon and say goodbye to summer :(
I watched this video on YouTube this morning - Richard Marx and Endless Summer Nights. It is soooo eighties cheesey. Love it.
And I had to laugh out loud at the gal in the video with the ponytail on top of her head. There is no photographic evidence but I wore my hair that way almost every day in high school.
I found this pic of Richard Marx with Daughtry. Wonder if Marx misses his 80's hair...

The video is pretty sweet.

Praying for rain today.
For the past couple of days I've been repainting the parking stall lines in our condo parking lot. Sweeping, taping and then painting 57 sixteen foot lines.
My knees hate me.
When someone first brought up this project during a condo board meeting, there were tons of volunteers. We'd save about $1000 doing it ourselves and we'd get it done sooner than waiting for a painting crew. But now that it's time to actually do the work, everyone is suddenly busy.
I'm on the condo board and couldn't really back out, so I:
shlepped around our little Okanagan beach town searching for traffic paint and other supplies (which the strata will reimburse me for)
put together a "Painting Schedule/Move Your Car" notice and hand delivered it to all 39 units
have been crawling around our parking lot for the past two days, taping and painting white lines
Before:
After:
Tuesday I taped and painted 25 lines myself. Wednesday My Fella helped me do another 14 lines before it started raining. But today my knees and back are refusing to cooperate.
One more day of line painting should finish it off, but it looks like rain today. I hope, I hope, I hope.

This is further proof of my love for chicken. In all forms.
A couple years ago McDonalds came out with something new called the Chicken Snack Wrap.
They had a contest to come up with an advertising jingle and myself and a radio buddy put together a rap jingle. We promoted the wrap with ... a rap.
We are two very white people who should never rap. Never. Ever.

Spring Cleaning is when you tidy up and toss out after a long cold winter.
Extreme Spring Cleaning is when you have insane thoughts of moving into an RV (see Project Gypsy under Categories) and you have to get down to the bare minimum. Today I finished going through the kitchen cupboards in search of more victims things we don't use.
Herb pots, a Coke serving tray, a steel wine rack, Mexican pottery - all cool things we haven't touched for more than 18 months. Easy to get rid of.
It was a lot harder going through all my cds. Working in radio for half my life resulted in a huge cd collection. I have given away hundreds of cds over the years, but somehow I kept accumulating more. I'm down to just over a 150 and have burned all my favorite tunes onto my laptop. Ten is the maximum number of cd's I'm keeping (my all time faves) and the rest will find new homes at the radio station or at the public library.
