Alpha HH

It had been since September that we had the last Alphabet Gang Happy Hour and since August that all of us could make it so it was very nice to see all my peeps again under one roof, that roof being Pepito's in south Minneapolis last Thursday night. We all caught up on each other's lives and ate good Mexican food. We listened to the music of the gentleman singing Beatles and Elvis songs. We drank wine and margarita's and Catha had decaf coffee because she announced to us that she was 10 weeks pregnant and is due July 1st.  Catha and her husband never wanted kids and planned their lives that way so it came to surprise to us in 2009 when Catha announced she was pregnant and they had been trying and then had a girl named Violet in October 2009.  So again it was surprise, not as big of surprise though that they'd be expecting another baby.  That's it for them though...or so they say.  Either way, I'm super happy for you Catha!

Before she announced she was pregnant, Catha said that she had just gotten back from her Thanksgiving vacation in Cozumel, where she has a timeshare.  Actually, make that two timeshares.  And how much did she pay for these timeshares in this type of economy where people want to sell them?  Let's see...$5 for the one and $1 for the other....well, actually .50 cents as her mom and her split that one.  There is a yearly maintenance fee attached to both but it's not much in the scheme of a vacation each year.  So we talked about going to Cozumel for an Alphabet Gang Happy Hour Week sometime in the spring of 2011.  But since Catha's preggo, we decided that we might entertain this idea again in spring of 2012.  Wouldn't that be mucho fun?

We've got our January HH date set so we'll see you kids again soon.
