I'm...

...still here! Decided to keep this blog going, just not gonna stress out about whether or not I update all the time...no pressure blogging is what I am going to be doing...just blog when the mood and moment is right and hope that those of you who have been faithfully visiting, will continue to do so! Special thanks to my girl Luz, you know I love you and am so thankful you visit and that we have become friends...hopefully, someday soon, we will get to hang out irl instead of just in cyberspace!

alright..I know I that I said I'd post a few more Mexico pics...here goes, a few more Ixtapa memories! (Be warned..VERY picture heavy!)

Simon, our wonderful pool bar bartender!


Cathy and Angie at dinner our first night, looking all cute and stuff!


We splurged at this amazing restaurant one night, great bottle of wine, and I broke my vegetarian-ism and had a TO DIE FOR dinner of lobster and shrimp stuffed into a baked potato with a basil sauce...the restaurant's speciality! The view was gorgeous from the patio of this place...oh my gosh...


while this is a dark picture, I promise you, it was an amazing treat for my tummy!!


Birds of Paradise decorating the tables...patio lit by candles and twinkly lights!!


After our amazing dinner, we headed over to Senor Frogs, the local nightclub/hotspot and had a great time. There was a volleyball tournament going on and there were loads of players at Senor Frogs that evening. We met two really fun guys...Tim and Warren. Tim was an adorable, 23 year old from Massachusetts, and Warren, who we nicknamed "warm and fuzzy" because his last name was Furrey, was from California. Both Cathy and I earned the names "Cougar" and "MILF" respectively!




Cathy and I seem to take a lot of pictures where we are sticking our tongues out in some manner or another...and, no..I wasn't ACTUALLY licking her face...I'm just saying...




We sat and watched the sunset from our pool chairs...amazing!


In Zihuatanejo one evening....getting lucky with a couple of clowns!!


Cathy's mom, Marilyn and me....what a nice lady she is!!


Heather, her husband Craig and me at Senor Frogs! (don't ask about the dang silly balloon hats...we got them when we walked in...totally goofy!) I really enjoyed meeting Cathy's friends Heather and Craig, such a wonderful couple and I look forward to hanging again next year with them in Ixtapa!! (oh yeah...I'm going back FOR SURE!!!)


The infamous "drunk taco"...yeah, there's video even!! Best dang taco I've EVER had!!


Last day of soaking up the rays! I sat on the pool deck by the bar taking in every last bit of sun I could...it was the best!!


WHEW.....was that enough pics?? LOL! Seriously, if you made it this far I'm proud!! So, that was Mexico 2010! Like I said before, had a wonderful time and I can't wait for next year when we will do it all over again!

I have a few more things to share here but I'll keep those for another post...hey, it means I will actually have reasons to come back and blog sooner than not..so, come on back and see!

Until next time,
Blessings!

I....

stink at this blog thing!

I know I said I'd be back the very next day with more pictures, and I never came back the next day and still no new pictures...I'm sick of saying "life gets in the way" or "I've been so busy"...I mean, I have been busy, been working on some new projects, I've added time into my day for more spiritual and faithful development, and life can get in the way, but truth is, I just don't think much about the blog anymore....maybe I should shut it down? I don't know...I do know that I love to surf blogs, love reading and seeing what everyone is up to, heck, I time suck a lot of my day away at that...why can't I just get into doing my blog more and keeping it up to date???

alright...no promises here, I'll keep the blog going and hopefully during this weekend, I can put the rest of the pics up for sharing and maybe some new paper stuffs!!

off for lunch at a new Thai restaurant with my friend Mary and my girl...(yep, she has school off today and Monday!!), then a stop for a yummy mate latte as dessert! Maybe I'll even take my camera and snap some shots!!

Until next time,
Blessings!

WHOA!!!

I know, I know...lame ass blogger is moi!!! I don't have any really great excuse as to why it's taken me ages to update my blog, simple fact is I just haven't given a damn about it LOL! I have had moments of casual thought, saying to myself "shit, I should really update that blog of mine" and then something much more important, like napping, or watching a movie, or Facebooking takes it's place..so, there...it's just that I haven't really cared much, plain and simple. However, today, between bouts of movie watching, laundry and wandering around the house I decided that I would try and throw out a quick update for any of those still faithful readers I have (and I don't blame you if you have long since left my blog...heck, it seems like I did, right?)...

Where do I start...oh yeah...spent a FABULOUS time in Mexico in January! Went with my bff Cathy! It all came together very spur of the moment..like, one moment Cathy saying "you should come to Mexico, it will be a blast", and me saying "well..maybe", to a moment when I said "damn skippy, I am going to go and have some fun!!" I mean, who better to experience Mexico with than my best girl, who has been there like a million times! She knew all the hot spots, all the places to hang, all the great fun times! We met up with her other friend (whom I'd like to consider a friend of mine now too!) Angela, and Cathy's mom was also there! Cathy's friends that she met in Ixtapa a few years back, Heather and Craig were there as well...such a great couple, I really enjoyed getting to know them!

I cannot tell you how good it was for my soul to spend an entire week with the girls, laying on a beach, laying at the pool, indulging in the best damn guacamole I've ever had, and sipping on a few (or maybe more than a few..hee hee) frosty drinks! The weather was amazing, the sunsets can't be beat, the food...freakin' fabulous and the company was the best! I have tons and tons of pictures and I won't bore you with them all here, but there has been the request from some of you (and I won't mention names) to see that "bikini" picture!! :) so, gear up, you asked for it girl!.....

View from my room!


Angie and me on our way to Ixtapa Island!


Laying on the beach at Ixtapa Island...Corona's in hand!


Here's a bikini shot!

**side note: I love the store "Everything but Water", they have THE BEST suits evah!!!

Best Friends!!!


Isn't she the cutest??!!


My lunch most every day at the pool! (it wasn't hard to be a vegetarian here...I coulda survived on the guac alone!!)


I think this is getting a little pic heavy, so, why don't I make it a point to come back tomorrow with a few more...I mean, there was some pretty fun nightlife as well...LOL!!

Until next time,
Blessings!
