Cecilia:There are so many ways to make money in Mexico. Once I was a pharmacist and for every prescription I prescribed I got a commission.
I was their top performing pharmacist.
My biggest client was my uncle. There was always something wrong with that guy.

Guillermo: I email a lot
Me: Really? With who?
Guillermo: Your mom, my boss, my co workers, the guy fixing my truck.
Cecilia: He means text. Guillermo, text and email aren’t the same.
Guillermo: Oh. So what’s an email?

My mom: Next time you go to Mexico make sure you don’t get interviewed by the news. But if you do, make sure you don’t say anything bad about Mexico. We hate that.

Sometimes my dog has the urge to go out at like 2am and my husband refuses to let her out because he thinks she just wants to bark and I have to lay there and build up the courage to let him know she probably actually needs to go out because I gave her 7 meatballs that day ….
Most people don’t want to be tracked by the government. Not me. Please track me. Know where I’m going. Know who I’m with. Alert someone if something seems off!
I beg of you. Please don’t let me in on any secrets. I will crack or even worse, I will forget it’s a secret. I was not built for this. Keep your secrets to yourself. Let me live in peace. Thank you 💕
