Fundraising is hard work

For our final project at school, we are working to set up a fundraiser for an Orphanage in Mexico. We will be selling pinatas, flower pins, and horchata. If anyone wants to contribute to this wonderful project, please let me know. We are raising money for kids that need medical assistance. You can buy a pinata!!! ;)
Flowers: $3.00
Pinatas: $5.00

Fun, fun, fun!

Visiting Mexico ha been a lot of fun. The food is incredible, the people are warm and welcoming, and it has the chaos I remember from growing up. After all, it's Mexico!
There is one thing that annoys me (other than the ridiculous traffic). I went to the neighborhood Superama (which is owned by Walmart, I found out later), and the girl at the counter could not, would NOT take my word that I didn't need a bag.
I did forget to take my trusty "Chico-bag", but I still had my huge purse. This was the conversation:
Me: I don't need a bag, thank you
Her: You don't?
Me: No, thanks
Her: But you need one for that..
Me: No thanks, I got it
Her: Definitely for that too (pointing at a paper bag full of bread)
Me: No thanks, I can carry it.
I run out of the store before I'm broken into taking a bag

One of the reasons I enjoy living in the Bay Area. When you tell them that you don't need a bag, they take your word for it.
Adios!

Spring Time

It is that time of year....Spring! I can't believe how amazing the weather has been! Andrew and I have spent so much time outside, listening to the birds, looking at flowers, and eating. Eating is always involved.
I picked a bunch of wildflowers growing by the side of the road, and made arrangements for the house. I put them in Mason Jars...I wish there were this many flowers in August. I could have Mason Jars full of cool and FREE flowers, without feeling guilty about it.
