Newlywed Life on a Monday Off

Yesterday Shawn and I had the day off since we just returned from spending the weekend in Michigan for my gramma's memorial services. It was nice to see everyone but it was a downer knowing why we were all there together so soon after the wedding. My cousin Jaimie got engaged to a great guy named Scott who works on the Carferry in the engine room. Stay tuned for more on that story for sure!
With our Monday off, we made a decision to use a smidge of the "House Money" [that we're using to buy things like kitchen tools and laundry vents] and go to lunch out at El Aguila. For less than $40 we each got a nice meal that we ate off later for dinner, and a big Margarita to share the size of our heads.
Pretty soon into the drink a bee started to show interest in the sugar rim of the glass. He was neat and we took lots of pictures of him.



Soon after he showed up, we established a system: we would take some drinks, then we'd let him have the sugar on the glass. He would leave and we'd have some more sips. It was working magically until another one showed up. He was a little agressive and brought out some agressive behavior in Bee #1. One knocked the other into the glass and tried to drown him. We got him out, rinsed him with a drop of water and placed him on a napkin. He was magnificently drunk but he held it together enough to come around and dry his wings off by shaking his antennae ferociously! It was hilarious.

Shawn started to make them used to his presence by drinking anyway to finish it up.

By the time we got it taken care of completely there were 4 bees on the glass. The watiress said this always happens but no one has ever gotten stung! Including us, I guess!
