This is my second attempt at this post.
My first one was long winded and filled with deep thoughts on traveling and exploring and (wait for it… ) finding yourself. I swear. It had so many mentions of the word “journey” it could have been a script for a reality television show. There may have even been some Mark Twain action going on (see? I told you. Long-winded. I have it on good authority that it’s impossible to write a post that involves Twain and have it NOT be long winded), but I had to delete it.
Why?
Because you know, I’m leaving on my trip (to Mexico after all! Hooray for families who support vacations and let their daughters blow off significant birthday celebrations!) and I may die by some random shark attack or alcohol poisoning due to the two-one margarita deal I always succumb to (why must I see that as a deal that I have to get in on? My liver always hates me the next day. I’m pretty sure it’s thisclose to putting itself up for adoption). And the idea that my last blog post would be some boring post that didn’t make me giggle writing it just wouldn’t do. In fact, dying and having my last post be anything but random would be poor form. It’s not that I think I’m going to explode to death after entering myself in an all you can eat pico de gallo contest, I just want to be prepared in case it happens.
Speaking of consuming in excess, I almost sent this card to my travel buddy today:
Sure it was created for St. Patrick’s day, but I pretty sure it will fit perfectly into this trip where it is the duty of men in white starched uniforms to keep my inebriated hydrated on the beach where my biggest annoyance will be sand on my chair.
Do you hate me after that last sentence? I don’t blame you if you do.
Have an excellent week without me. Brookem shall keep you entertained when I’m away and I promise to come back with many stories and pictures. And possibly the seed of a love child from my new Mexican boyfriend.
Ohhh and now because I just saw it, I have to put this one in too. Some people may think I take politics too seriously, but this made me laugh:
Hmm. Now I’m just copying and pasting random things into my post. In this instant I’ve realized I’ve managed to become long winded without Twain.
Back to packing.
*e-cards are from www.someecards.com the greatest site in the world, after this one.
“Do you hate me after that last sentence? I don’t blame you if you do.”
Only because you didn’t invite all your blogger friends down there to join you for one massive, er, celebration.
Have a great trip!
geekhiker- Do you want to come? You can!
Have a great time! I’m jealous!
Mexico! I am jealous…you would think I would go more, living in Texas, but no. Have a great time!
Ah, have fun!! Not enough fun for the love child.. but… you know :)
Have fun :)
i mean, i know we live like forever and a half apart as it is?, but damnit, im going to really miss you.
sniff sniff.
have a blast in mexico- hopefully you’ll find a cabana boy with good hair (he wont be layered- im thinking on this trip, the less clothing=the better).
have fun! xo
You crack me up.
Have a great trip!
I hope you have the best time! I agree with Brookem, find a cabana boy…I want details!
I am so jealous! I really need a vacation. I love that you were able to just up and go! Have fun!
Where did I get the idea that you were actually travelling with Brookem?????
have fun in meh-hee-co!! and be careful!
Have a blast, drink way too many margaritas, hell you could even dance on a few tables. Looking forward to all the juicy details upon your return!
have a most fabulous trip to mexico and enjoy the tequillaritas as i like to call them because that’s all there is there. don’t drink the water, just the tequilla, haha.
Haha, this post was comically morbid. I like it! Have fun in Mexico :)
How hard did you have to try to not write New Mexican boyfriend (what that “N” all shiny and capital)? ‘Cause I had to read that sucker twice and then remember that you’re going to Mexico and a New Mexican boyfriend just wouldn’t make any sense. It’s Friday, what can I say.
Also? Obama joke from David Lettermen.
A sign you know Obama is getting a bit to big for his britches? He wants to change the name of Oklahoma to Oklabama.
And on that note…have a great tirip!!
Enjoy Mexico! Ayayayayay!
Have a fantastic time! I left plenty of sun for you down there near the equator. :)
Please say Hola to Mexico for me. I long to return there. That was the BEST vacation I ever had.
ENJOY!
Oh! Have fun in Mexico! I’ve never been!!
Hope you are having a top time in Mexico!
Cxx
Do me a favor- when in mexico, don’t visit ruins that no one else is traipsing around! Ixtapa is great if you’re going that was, as is Chichen Itza! enjoy!
I hope you are having such a fun and relaxing time. Drink a margarita for me:)
Well THANKS. I just spent a whole hour on the cards site and have had a thoroughly unproductive day. That stuff makes me want to make a collage.
