I got a text from Alma about the time I got home that we would either go to the movies or dinner at 9. I was excited to have plans. There were a few weeks of mourning over Lenin that we didn't get out much! I texted her back saying I'd love to see the Ex-Girlfriends movie with my boy Matthew McConaughey. She said she'd let me know the plan.
Mamá fixed tacos dorados for lunch and I couldn't have been happier. She is such an amazing cook. She's going to have a lot of teaching to do in the week I'm out of school and still in Culiacán. As yummy and filling as those are, I still needed some chocolate later, so I walked to the Oxxo. As I was approaching, a car honked at me (not out of the ordinary), but I thought it was Mayrita. I waved, but then suddenly was embarrassed thinking I was mistaken. I walked in and saw the girl I thought I had seen in the car and thought, "Great. Not Mayrita." But then I saw her at the counter adding time to her phone. We chatted for a minute and she seemed nervous or some such. Like she knew something or had some secret, yet wasn't sure how to tell it or how to hide it.
I asked her if she'd be going to the movies and she said yes. We chatted for just a second and then she had to jet because she had to work. I thought it was strange, but just went back home.
I got a text from Iván later asking if I'd heard about the movies and I said yes, see you there.
I did what I could blogging, but battled big time with my connection. I hate when that happens. When I'm all motivated and ready and have the time, but the internet doesn't cooperate.
