Spring break, for some

This evening my brother and four nephews arrived, for Spring Break. They can be a rowdy bunch, my nephews, but they were pretty calm when I got home from work. I'm looking forward to spending time with them. My nephew, Dario, turns 12 tomorrow (3/22), so the plan is to take them climbing tomorrow evening. The other three waiver on whether or not they want to try it, but Dario is pretty sure he wants to try it. So, unless they are all tired from their activities tomorrow, I will be literally showing them the ropes tomorrow night. I doubt I'll get in any climbing myself, not unless my brother feels confident enough to belay me, or I guess if I feel confident enough for him to belay me???.......

My brother also requested a mocha-mocha cake from one of the local Filipino bakeries (the bakery from our childhood, Betsy's, is no longer around). I haven't had one of those cakes since we were little. I probably shouldn't have a piece of that cake, but.....I just might. Not a big piece, just a small one. This is kinda a critical week for me, weight-wise as I have a few challenges - my high metabolism nephews and my trip to SF on Thursday and Friday. Just when was starting to feel a little slim. I got my hair cut this past weekend, and I must say that it was the first time in several years that I didn't look fat with the cape wrapped around my neck and shoulders - I actually looked Ok. I'm still at only 15% weight loss, so hopefully I won't stumble too badly this week.

  1. Valerio's still makes those cakes, don't they? oh man, I miss the pan de sal, hot out of the oven.

    So how did Dario do? Did any of the other boys try it?

  2. All of them, even Dwight, gave it a try and enjoyed it. Dario did really well. Juno didn't climb that much. I saw Eliseo climb the most.

  3. I think that is ultra cool that you have gotten so into climbing. What an inspiration you are in so many ways, Flo. Miss you.
