What’s this? Storage Locker Wars on TV....again?

What a full Wednesday.

Off to see Netty and get Bexico set up for life insurance. While she was there, I was up the block at el gimnasio.

Then we hooked up and spent the next 6 hours going from store to store.

First stop…Mac Station to get a quote on what can be done to this MacBook to speed it up. Looks like $50 plus $50 for chips. Probably head back mañana.

Then? Hello Costco!! ¿Por que? $1.50 for a ¼ lb dog and a diet coke!! Ja ja ja

We also did a browse, but our card is expired…hello RJ?

Then we headed to Toys R Us where we had a great experience with the sales lady. Learned lots about car seats and strollers. We have decided to buy a car seat that stays in the camioneta, but can grow as niño grows. Keep it rear facing as long as possible…safer that way.

We might be bringing the first car seat to Huatulco…ever!!

And the stroller will be just that…a 3 wheel stroller. And for most of the time we are looking at carriers and a sling….lots of contact in the heat!! Lol

Here is the style of car seat we are looking at.

And the stroller.

And a big thanks to RJ y Roly for picking up the tab on these!!

We left practically empty handed because on the sales lady’s advice, we will confirm with our mid wives and hospital, if the car seat we are looking at, meets the needed approvals.

And the car seat is also available on-line at a different retailer…in a VERY cool pattern!! Stay tuned.

As for the stroller…on-line only. Toys R Us has a floor model and mañana I might go back to give it a second look before ordering on-line.

After Toys it was off to Walmart. Loaded up on lots of economical items and both niño y Bexico are now almost clothes ready for the first few months of his/her life!!  

Then it was off to the locker and we made the “list” of items we hope to sell. Some items will head to our smaller locker and the rest…adios!!

And now it is almost 5pm and we still have to hit up Stupid Store for gas and some dinner eats.

And then….the camioneta started acting up. It was VERY low on gas and it had a hard time starting and then when we were next in line for the pump…it would not start. More water? Come on!! I filled the garrafon with 5 litros, threw it in the camioneta and it started no problem. Ugh…more things to diagnose when the truck goes back in.

Grabbed our eats and made it home for 630pm. Phew…long day.

Bexico did some work while I cooked la cena…she will catch up mañana.

Our Thursday? Bexico might go for a swim…but she has signed on a 3^rd client…so I suspect it will be a work day.

Me? The list of errands  mentioned and hooking up with mi dos amigos later in the evening.

Amigos…you are caught up!!

Adios

Bexico y Marco
