I got back from my cousin’s wedding in one piece. Thank heavens! Usually when I go on vacation, I like to take an obscene amount of photos, but it was just too damn HOT & HUMID to do anything other than sip cocktails in the air conditioned bar or lounge around in the pool. Well, at least my aunt took enough photos on her camera to share with everyone.
I had a great time in Puerto Vallarta. My cousin had a super chillaxed wedding. It was full of celebration, love, family, & a huge bright pink elephant in the room known as drama. I’m not going to address the “pink elephant” whatsoever, other than to say it was there in full effect. That is all. My cousin looked beautiful in her white dress & veil. I was a little taken aback by the bright emerald green ties & navy gingham shirts worn by the groomsmen & the dark gray strapless dresses worn by the bridesmaids, but otherwise, the decorations were simple & tasteful. My family really knows how to eat, drink & party hard.
The hotel my cousin & most of our family stayed at was aptly named Villa Amor. It was a rustic hotel nestled on a small cliff side, overlooking the beach. The place I stayed at with my mom & brother was a modern all-inclusive resort 10 minutes away from my cousin’s hotel. When I say the resort was all-inclusive, I mean that all food, drinks, & amenities are included in the price of the vacation package. All you really needed to pay for was gratuity & the resort’s private taxi costs. It was easy to get around town & explore as well as lounge about on the beach.
Despite the muggy, almost unbearable humidity, we all had a blast celebrating my cousin’s wedding. There was plenty of eating & drinking, as well as tons of dancing, games, karaoke at a local dive bar, & golf cart riding. There was even a small Lip-Sync performance during the rehearsal dinner. Seeing my male cousin wearing pink socks & singing along to 80s music is pure comedy!
I am so burnt out from this trip. I still have a load of laundry to wash, a dress or two to dryclean, & a suitcase to put back into storage. No, wait. I still have to use my suitcase. In 3 weeks I’m heading off to San Diego for ComicCon (a.k.a. SDCC). I’m going to spend a few extra days in SoCal before & after ComicCon, just to avoid the rush of traffic from all the travelers heading to San Diego for this epic event. I am very excited for ComicCon, but I’m not exited about the packing experience. I feel like I just finished packing & unpacking from my trip to Mexico. Oh well. Here we go again. Cheers!
Today’s song of the day:
It seems as though the days blend together in a blur. It feels like just recently I was marveling in my cousin’s engagement, & now she’s getting married in nearly TWO WEEKS! So many birthdays of friends & families have passed. I can hardly remember how many parties I’ve attended in the last month or so. This upcoming week, my 5-year old niece will be performing in a children’s ballet recital. I was invited, but unable to attend. (I hope my sister captures everything on film!)
I’m so amazed at how quickly time passes these days. Like I said before, it’s all like one big blur. I can barely recognize day from night, especially since the Summer weather provides longer hours of sunlight & prolonged sunsets. Only in the pitch darkness of the night, when I lay my head to rest, I feel as though time has slowed down, allowed me to take a breath & relax.
This Monday starts a new week. I shall make the most of it as much as possible. Until then, cheers!
Today’s song of the day:
I’ve had severe allergies for as long as I can remember. That has always been coupled with dry, itchy skin. No matter how much maximum strength, ultra healing lotion I slather all over myself, my skin just itches always, in all ways. This is especially prevalent when the weather turns cold, & I need to pack on layers of clothes.
One thing that really annoys the hell out of me is when I’m wearing a heavy, chunky jacket & my body decides to itch in the most inconvenient place(s)… like in that one spot on my back that my finger just can’t reach, or right under the crook of my shoulder where the jacket sleeve is the tightest. Argh!!! Roar!!! Grrr!!!
Well, enough of that rant. I’ve found a solution to my itchy conundrum; A $7.00 solution to be exact. It’s… DRUM ROLL… a back-scratcher! Yes, folks. I got a back-scratcher. It’s not just any random, cheap Chinatown bamboo twig either. This is a deluxe model, made of metal & has an extendable arm. Like all the other inanimate objects in my life, I gave it a name. It’s name is Gregory.
Yes, I like to (affectionately) give my personal belongings names, almost as though they are alive & responsive. There’s no rhyme or reason as to why I do this other than the fact that I think it’s fun to do. So without further ado, let me introduce GREGORY…Cheers!
P.S. I’m sitting at the counter of my local coffee shop as I type this blog post. There is a man sitting next to me, who happens to also be a regular customer at this place. Today he is wearing an abnoxiously pungent cologne. I have noticed his cologne before, but today it’s particularly strong. Has he not heard the motto “less is more”? Not cool, dude.
