One of the ladies I work with brought me a Rusa on Monday.
Holy cow was it good. It's made with fresh orange and lime juice, chamoy sauce, Tajin, fresh fruit, and citrus soda, topped with a chamoy straw. A little sweet, a little spicy, very refreshing! I need to buy the ingredients so I can make these at home this summer - they are delightful!
This week has been all about starting, then stopping, on projects. Exhibit A are the pieces to the landscape lights. I washed the spiders and dried mud off and removed the batteries to reorder fresh ones. The bottom part to the stakes are still sunk in the landscaping. Part two is to dig those out and reposition the lights. I will also need to use black Gorilla duct tape to reinforce the pole part of the stakes.
Also. You would think the rainy days mean I was getting ahead on the photo album project, but you would be mistaken. However, I did give it at least three hours this week, and I am currently on album 3 of hopefully only 4. Its a very slow process involving editing, trimming, and tears.
I have reading to catch up on for book clubs. Which wouldn't be hard but I got a couple of chapters through the top book (When Two Feathers Fell from the Sky) and realized it was meh. Still, I want to finish it so I can contribute to the discussion. The next two books are for the clubs that meet at a brewery. I finished 4 books in April - a lot for me.
(friend me on Goodreads if you are a reader!)
And lastly, sewing - I need to hem one of the new tops I bought recently since it's too long and needs a couple of darts added - otherwise I love the color, print, and fabric. I probably should have ordered a smaller size. Oh well. Hopefully I can get to that today.
But not before I do some random cross stitiching.
Yesterday I was going to take myself out for breakfast, then I realized I had everything at home to make migas with green chile salsa, homemade refried beans, sausages, and skillet potatoes. It kept me full until lunch and cost me zero dollars of eat out monies, not to mention time I can spend on leisure activities.
And it was delish.
Happy weekend!

It sounds like you have been busy! I've bad to break out my sewing machine recently when I had to lengthen my son's pants (and pull the elastic leg bands out-- which had been sewn in place all around the bottom).
I'm hopping over from the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot! I am the queen of unfinished projects so I had a bit of a giggle at this post. Just last week, I was going to take myself out for breakfast and realized I had all the stuff to make it at home so I did the same as you. It made me feel really good about saving that money! Cute tops, by the way. That print is fabulous! Have a great weekend.

On nice days, I like to take my lunch outside and feel like it's an "event" rather than just quickly filling up. It's curbed my interest in eating out unless meeting up with people. I have several solar lights etc.given to us/me over the years as gifts. I plan to decide what I'll actually use and what to give away but tired of them taking up space in a closet.
I had no idea what a rusa was. I had to google it. Nor did I know what a Chamoy straw was. Google again. This sounds so refreshing and delicious. I am going to add it to my list of things to make during the summer.
So productive! :-D Good for you. I didn't get half as far myself here.
I read one sentence with a break "I washed the spiders ... and dried mud off". Of course I noticed right away, but I couldn't help giggling because now I imagined tiny tubs with spiders bathing in them (I like spiders). Have a great weekend!
