[b]Hello how’s things??[/b] I thought of my blog and all of you enough I think it means I missed you. Were I affectionate I’d hug you all. I was only on the computer ONCE on Monday the 4th when Steve Irwin died. We caught the tail end of the report on CNN and they had already said how he died so I missed it and I was crying and a mess and looked at Adam slowly and said ‘WHY are they talking about him in the past tense- WHY???’ I had a moment of unwillingness to accept his loss which I feel is a World loss there are not enough people like him. You can tell his oldest daughter Bindi has some of his gifts but Bob is too young to tell yet. So we paid the 20 pesos for internet use and looked it up. I just could not have handled hearing he went from something unrelated to his work.
part of ‘The View’
Mexico…ohhhh Mexico. I haven’t posted because I came home with some super classy travelers diarrhea. AKA: EXPLODING ass. I haven’t been able to move much further than the bed to the bathroom, much further away I get stressed I’ll have an ‘accident’. Not 100% sure how I picked it up but it is bad enough I’m scared of ever going on vacation again. I talked to one of my girlfriends who thinks I may have gotten it from eating a lot of salad. I ate a lot of salad there. Apparently the salad either doesn’t get washed right or gets washed in non purified water. While I was there I felt ill regularly but that could have been from one of lots of things, too much sun too much tequila, too much tequila or too much tequila. And faux alka-seltzer made from mineral water and some mystery shit cleared the stomach up nicely. One of Adam’s friends I think it was his best man told him about these NASA scientists and how they discovered that when you take a shot of tequila and a chaser of clamato juice they knock each other out and you taste nothing. Of course we had to try it not believing it was true at first but it is true and the shots they bring you are more like three shots in one so if you wanna get your drunk on, do it, you will be very drunk very fast and suddenly find yourself hating NASA. My parents just figured I had come home and gone straight to work because I hadn’t called; I pretty much went straight to the toilet. Speaking of work the premiere of one of the shows I worked on was on Sunday night and Adam and I both loved it. I was sad because we were flying back and the seat TV’s had The Space channel so I assumed it would be on by 10pm. 10pm came around and it was STILL not on so I was scared it had been cancelled (it has already been playing on the Scifi channel that we don’t get) or moved or whatever but when we got home it had started at 11:00. I can’t wait to see the stuff from the days I was on set doing my little production assistant duties. The ‘other’ show premieres its third season also on Scifi on October 6th. That is all I’ll say if you watch it you know what show it is from that.
too much tequila
We met the awesomest people considering how normally anti social and bitchy I can be I was very surprised I took to talking to as many couples as I did. One in particular Kelly and Dawn- we will for sure be friends with for a long long while I’d say. We hung out with them every day. The resort was almost empty, which ruled in SOME ways. Almost all the guests were Canadian or from somewhere in Mexico. The majority of the people we got on the plane with out of Vancouver- almost all 31 of them were at the same resort.
On our second night there a storm erupted worse/better than any storm I had ever seen. I won’t lie it was so bad it was scary. According to our tour operator dude who lives there he said it was worse than anything they had when ‘John’ passed over, they had a little rain and that was it. This storm soaked our entire balcony with rain so hard if a drop hit a baby right it would have knocked it out cold, I’m sure it killed some birds. The storm was so close there was no breaks in-between the thunder and lightening and I almost fell out of my chair whipping or throwing my arms around my body while I heard what I later learned was Dawn screaming down the hallway. As soon as I said the only thing making me feel safe was the lack of strong wind the wind picked up, some trees fell down.
A baby turtle peed on me I had my DURELL, or I may have died. My ‘Tide to Go’ instant stain remover pen saved the day on many occasions. A ketchup bottle exploded on me and got a big part of my skirt and the pen got it out. It also helped in removing mystery stains from my white tank top.
One morning I woke up and a large portion of the blue in my tattoo was swollen and hurt like a bitch man, no idea whether it was bug bites, heat rash or if I picked something up in the ocean but it took three days to go down completely and then because I had no choice but to put polysporin on it which YES I know is BAD for tattoos but I had NO CHOICE I put my neck out sleeping on my left side so my arm wouldn’t touch the bed.
I got depressed pretty bad a day or two, I felt completely helpless wondering what the fuck I was doing off medication and how the fuck I actually thought I could do it because I felt like there was something wrong with me every fucking day and that I was ruining Adam’s vacation. It didn’t dawn on me to be paranoid about people we met hating me till we were getting off the plane and Adam and I discovered our luggage had not just been searched in front of us (which was TOTALLY FINE OF COURSE) but my spidey senses started to tingle when they did both zippers for both bags up in the center and I was saying to Adam OVER AND OVER fix those zippers put them back to the side. I KNEW what they were up to and I am kinda shocked the people that do the initial search before you check in were in on it but whatever as soon as those bags came off the baggage holder in Vancouver I KNEW the fuckers had been back through them and I was RIGHT that they intentionally did the zippers back up in the front for easy access. BOTH bags came off over HALF WAY OPEN and thankfully because we aren’t stupid everything valuable other than my 400 dollar dress [AS IF I paid that, I covet. It was 50% off man] were with us but the dress was buried and as Adam pointed out they were looking for electronics not dresses. But it just puts a whole different perspective on it when it happens to you and you aren’t watching hidden cameras catching staff searching traveler’s bags on 20/20 or some shit. I threw a mini fit which everyone saw so now I’m convinced they all hate me when really it was almost 11pm and they were probably tired or used to people trying to steal shit out of their bags. And really who the fuck cares other than Kelly and Dawn we’ll never see any of them again.
Kelly and Dawn are there another week so we are leaving them a message to inform them and I hate to do it because West Jet RULES but I have to let them know their baggage handlers on the other side are obvious thieves. At least close the bags fuck-wads. Today is the first day I have felt even close to normal enough to blog so I’ll call them and West Jet by Friday. The drugs the doctor gave me are working but my stomach is still killing me and I’m starving because these pills have strict ‘rules’ on when you can take them in relation to what you eat.
The rest of the photos will be viewable on Flickr with commentary soon.
I can’t see getting the laundry, dishes, thank you cards for the wedding etc etc etc- I’m like a wife now and shit- done till next week or this weekend till I feel better this is just TOOOOOOOOOOO reminiscent of February’s surgery for me ‘cept my ass wasn’t exploding- thank God I had that surgery or I can’t even imagine how much worse this would be.
