Q1 '19 pc chair mexico city

wanted to keep up with this at least once a month to refer back to - i'll try for once a quarter.

Recap:
I’m now my precinct’s precinct chair- it feels very...American…i'm okay with less tangents and drama though… holy moly talkers, and drama…

Took Jamie to see the Book of Mormon - not bad. Can't say there wasn't a lot of truths
 I've figured out I'm not a musical gal (and Jamie definitely isn't a musical guy). I feel like I should've liked it more, I'm just not much of a "shock value" type gal.

I was passed out dead asleep on a Tuesday a few weeks ago and Jamie walks in to ask if I want to go to Mexico City on Friday - i said sure! Easy/cheap flight. Once you get over the traffic and that there are millions of people in a Very large city to take it for what it is -we really enjoyed it. Me, surprisingly...I never had any interest. Food tour was a MILLION times worth it.  Tacos and Pulque and crickets. There's a LOT of history too (some of it mine)...but we practically ran through the Aztec Templo Mayor for want of time...so glad we took our uber drivers suggestion to do this. Definitely rideshare. We stayed in Polanco, next time we'll try a little closer to the city...Roma, Condesa? 

I've seen lots of really good old bands, read lots of really good books -  really want to've kept up on my quick reviews so I can remember - but with the library and elections stuff I'm totally distracted.

Not gonna lie, I love the self stuff...but it's a solid foundation feeling - ? -  (for lack finding a better way to describe it)  getting involved in things and meeting people i NEVER would've out of my bubble.

We met with a financial planner - i think thats a good plan - while at the same time mind boggled that people do that. Privileged indeed. It certainly helped Jamie, he's always stressed out about retirement, I can't get on his page regarding retirement.... - but he's never had to wonder if he'll have enough money to eat/pay bills either...so...i'm not sure i'll ever get on his page when it comes to this.

We leave for Calgary/Banff next week - it's been over 25 years for me...should I call it a home town if i only lived there my elementary years? i dunno...
