The Mexican food we had the other day after you got me tempted is calling to me again. It was so good! But I don't think we will go out tonight.
Moby's trip home is booked. Not cheap but the owners and I think it is the best way. Pickup and dropoff door to door and transport via car in between. We picked a mother/daughter team who have been doing this for a few years and have many 5 star reviews. Moby's extended vacation ends on Thursday evening. His parents will be glad to have him back. They said the house felt very empty without him.

123.9. Another new low. I'm not concerned yet, I bet it will go up again tomorrow. Yesterday was a low calorie day (just over 1000) and I burned over 400 calories with a 70 minute 4.5 mile walk with a friend!
Not sure if I will do the treadmill or exercise video today but leaning toward a video.
Still need to continue getting photos matted for upcoming art fair. I also need to do the whole set up in our garage to make sure I have everything. Last full show was last summer.
Today is supposed to be sunny and 66. Ill take it! I have to clear my herb beds and get ready to replant soon. I love fresh herbs for cooking and for putting in my mojitos!
No plans for Mexican food for Cinco de Mayo although it seems it is the one food I don't get sick of. DH will be golfing tonight so it will just be DC1 and I for dinner. Should we grill out or go to my favorite coffee shop that also has great food? I'm leaning toward the coffee shop!
Liz, glad Justice is getting along with your new guest. Hope you can find affordable transport for him!
Have a wonderful Monday everyone!

We had a good day with Moby and Justice yesterday though Justice keeps reinforcing that it is his house. When Moby sniffed at the stuffed dog toys, Justice grabbed them and stalked off. But generally they are getting along fine, taking walks together and eating side by side. Moby has established his sleep place on the bed in the office so I put a fuzzy blanket on it for him. He can look out the window from that bed too. This afternoon we will need to finalize how to send him north. It sounds like they want us to make the decision but I still need to know their preference. Assuming they want something reasonably priced and not in the cargo hold of a plane, I have a couple of decent priced options which would get Moby to them by the weekend. I found a pet transport site where you can solicit bids from pet transport services and also read reviews about them. There are a couple who have been doing it for a few years and have many highly rated reviews to choose from.
Other than that, I have water aerobics and DH has golf today. Deconstructed pizza for dinner tonight I think.
Have a singular Cinco de Mayo!

She was smart! Our neighbor was so panicked she could have believed him but I think the fact that he was difficult to understand made her pause even though call centers are often in other countries. Also the amount of money didn't sound right. If he had said an amount close to what it really costs and not in round numbers she might have given him her credit card information. Like $437.15 instead of $1000.

I liked that Conclave portrayed most of the Cardinals as having some good intentions and trying to navigate the temptations, instead of everyone just being evil power grabbers.
My parents got one of those calls, Grandma, Grandma, I need help. My Mom said it does make your heart jump, but then she reassured herself she knew where both grandsons were and she asked a couple of questions that the "grandson" couldn't answer and he hung up.

It still is apparently! Except now they can spoof their voice so it sounds completely real: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2024/12/19/call-scammer s-using-ai/77075605007/
It is sad. Many years ago now some friends of my parents got scammed out of a lot of money with a supposed grandchild calling from a foreign country and in jail and needing money to return home. It was a big scam back in the day!
I know! There is actually a warning on the Breeze Airways site about this. You can only initiate a discussion via chat on their website or app. They will call you if necessary. But people post the numbers as Breeze Airways telephone numbers so they show up on a google search.
