What I’ve Been Up To

So the past few weekends I’ve taken tons of pictures to share with you guys! Things have been pretty busy at work, but I figure I’ll keep ya’ll updated. Here goes…

Last Weekend:

Went to my friend Dama's birthday party at Black Pub Friday night

Saturday: Went to another friend's birthday party, complete with palapa and a taco stand

My "gringas"... flour tortilla, pastor, onion, cilantro and pineapple

Saturday night: Burgers in a friend's backyard (it had very cool design, but I only managed to get a shot of this light-covered palm tree)

 

This Weekend:

On Saturday I bought this... I'll tell you why later!

Sunday afternoon: Puerto Morelos

Saturday night: Carnaval parade in Playa del Carmen (all pictures were either blurry or blocked by pedestrians, but the costumes were great!)

What did you do this weekend?

Just Thursday

Outside my window.. 83 degrees and BEAUTIFUL! Unfortunately all this sun means I’ve had to water my plants for the first time since we moved in.

Today I feel.. happy and cheerful.

I am thankful.. for my coworkers

Tomorrow I am going.. to work, then the gym, then home to relax before a busy weekend.

I am wearing.. my work uniform.

I wish.. for nothing right now. Life is pretty good.

This weekend.. is my BIRTHDAY!!!!! I’ll work a half-day Saturday, then spend the afternoon with Jorge’s family, then go to Xel-Ha on Sunday.

I am reading.. The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest

I am working on.. getting the living room all fixed up! We painted a wall last weekend (turquoise!!), hung curtains and hung some artwork.

Yesterday I.. ordered sushi and watched Jersey Shore.

I am hoping.. to watch Survivor online tonight (no spoilers!). I’m still not sure who I want to win… Boston Rob probably deserves it.

I am hearing.. the clicking of keyboards at work.

I bet you didn’t know.. that my dogs are adorable. Here they are helping us paint:

One of my favorite.. drinks is the Passion Hibiscus Tea at Starbucks.

Cupcakes and Somebody’s Birthday

Today is Jorge’s birthday! Looks like we’ll be going to the beach then to a nightclub in the evening, assuming all goes according to plan, which it never does.

Last night we went to our favorite local casino, PlayCity, in the hotel zone to begin celebrating. We lost all the money we had brought, but we had a nice dinner and surprised Jorge with some cupcakes out on their terrace!

The cupcakes were delicious! Very, very chocolaty, with icing that was kind of like that marshmallow creme stuff… is that what it’s called? I haven’t had cupcakes in ages, and Nikki has been occasionally taunting me with cupcake photos for a few months now.

I still have 5 of those cupcakes sitting in my fridge, calling my name…

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
