Lavame!

Sitting here, I can smell someone's feet. They could possibly be mine because I've actually been in shoes all day or they could, quite possibly, be someone else's. I hope it's the latter and not the first, personally.
Been something of a full week what with classes, services, buses breaking down, surprise 50th anniversary parties, visitation, tianguis, basketball games and sleepovers and all. If you're looking to be bored with routine, never come to Mexico. Well, except for Tuesdays maybe. But I've started to look forward to Tuesday because I know exactly what's going to happen, no surprises. Today we had a surprise 50th anniversary party for the oldest couple (and practically the only couple) in the church. We bought her some roses from this great little florist downtown and gave him a plaque that talks about marriage (it's a good plaque. I know what you're all thinking). It was a good service and afterward they fed us which was awfully nice of them.
On a side note, I'm having issues with my hair now that it's not so humid outside. It's really, really soft (thanks to this really awesome hair mask I tried and then some olive oil) but rather...bland. I mean, it's curling fine just not, nicely. Like, it's not pretty. And it's driving me crazy. Plus my bus kids call me 'Beef Jerky Hair'. Literally. Which...they don't mean it this way, but it's really making me self-conscious. I really don't want to go straight again because I've gone to all this effort to make my hair really curly and now it's just...blah. So I dunno. That's just something I've got to work on I guess.
Looking forward to Thanksgiving this Friday! Yes, Friday, because we have a church service on Thursday which makes it hard to relax. I'm bringing deviled eggs and green beans, two way easy dishes. Not doing sweet potatoes this year. They went terribly last year. Kinda burnt out on that. XD Have a nice week!
Restarting

So it's been awhile since I've touched this thing and it's because I've come to the conclusion that paying $12 a month just isn't worth it unless I'm going to actually take the time to update. So I decided that either I should just cancel the hosting or write. Decided to write. For those who are confused, yes, I still do web design but that plan has been put on hold because the server isn't exactly working at the moment. It works but..it's been unplugged or something Anyways. Maybe sometime next summer. Hopefully.
Definitely cooling off down here, can't sleep with the window open any longer because by morning you're really wishing you hadn't. I have no less than three blankets on my bed and I'm still pretty cold. But come noon you're shedding layers (not too many layers) as if it were July. Not a whole lot to look forward to this week. Services as normal on Thursday, institute on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and free day on Friday. The Scotts are up in the mountains today with Jon and Annie celebrating something or other, not sure what. I almost went but in the end decided to stay in the valley and play piano for choir practice (which is where I'm supposed to be, lol, but they could definitely have survived without me). The trip to Los Camotes is long and hard and I'm already tired.
Met some new missionaries from Hermosillo today. They had come down for the Scott's dedication service of their new building. I still cannot, for the life of me, remember their names but they were a pleasant couple. I'll probably run into them again some day.
