it's not freezing!

well the weather is finally back to normal around here :)  i'm on the porch listening to a thunderstorm and enjoying the breeze :)

exciting things lately?  john, nina, laura, and fletcher are all coming to visit next week!  we're really excited to have them :)  we have big plans for the beach, and eating tacos at taco palenque (if you're local, you MUST go there), drinking copious amounts of orange juice, and plenty of visiting :)  also exciting, we're getting a screen door!  it should really create a nice breeze through the house so we can really take advantage of the weather :)

cleo's been quite the medical case lately - she's had infections and skin issues and eye infections and whatnot.  but she seems to be on the road to recovery :)  the bad part is, she seems to have figured out when we hide medicine in cheese or meat and has been eating around the pills and them spitting them out!  probably because that just results in more cheese :)  she's also been boycotting her meals when we add medicine to them.  little brat!

we tried a delicious indian recipe from pioneer woman's website (http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/06/chicken-tikka-masala-by-pastor-ryan/) it was SO GOOD!  i used two habanero peppers instead of the serranos the recipe calls for and it was ridiculous spicy!  but still really delicious :)  i highly recommend it :)  i usually cheat and buy a premixed jar sauce and add some hot curry paste but this was better :)

off to play some super mario with nate :)
