Back to work after 3 weeks of fun.. :) I guess it was worth it and now I cant complain about having to work full weeks lol.
Lets see.. Mexico was a blast! My mom and I got there on Friday morning, we ate some delicious food and drank probably way to much. whoops. We were supposed to check in at 3 and didnt do it until 5 because we were having way to much fun in the pool at the swimup bar. So the mexicans yelled at us at 5 since we were two hours late. I really didnt get why it mattered but whatever, it was pretty funny how mad they got. We are on vacation! We dont have a schedule...come on. lol Shouldnt they know that already? We actually ate two dinners that night, nothing new for me.. We ate at the buffet and then we went to this Brazilian restaraunt and had meat on a stick. They had like a buffet style thing set up for just salad and sides and then the waiters would walk around with all this meat on a stick (skewer) and slide it onto your plate. They had everything...chicken, steak, filet minon, fish. It was really good actually. After that we layed on some chairs and listened to the ocean and then went to bed. My sister and dad came on Saturday. The weather was beautiful and sunny in the morning when me and my mom went for a walk on the beach and by the time my dad and sister came, it poured!! It actually poured until the day I left.. I saw about 2 hours of sunshine the morning I left to go to the airport. How nice. lol. We ended up eating a lot (ya know 6 meals a day at least) and drinking a lot and trying to stay warm in the pool because of all the rain. I know its weird, being cold in Cancun. I think it was the ocean breeze combined with the rain... wow it was freezing! Okay maybe not freezing but not hot.
It was nice to get away with my family and spend time with them. I missed Dan like crazy!! I actually didnt get to talk to him until day 3 (Sunday) and I called him and emailed him. He actually sent me 9 emails so I responsed to all. He can be so sweet sometimes. :) I was happy to leave on Monday, so tired of all the eating and drinking and lack of sleep.. then I got to the airport. Which was A NIGHTMARE! Eeek. Ill write about that tomorrow or something because thats a LONG story.
I had a fantastic weekend. Dan and I painted our kitchen and our bathroom. A tip for anyone ever painting a room red... GOOD LUCK! Lol. Seriously I was at Menards 3 times that day and Do It Best twice. Yeah not fun lol. BUT we ended up with the perfect red. I had a vision in my head of the color I wanted.. I wanted a raspberry red not a fire truck red so that it would go with all the different reds I had in the kitchen. The first color we bought was pink {not on purpose}... Yes pink. lol A little too raspberry or something haha. We took it back to Menards and they added black to it to make a darker color. They showed it to me with 3 coats on the top of the paint can and I hated it! But I didnt say anything lol because I wanted to go home and I figured that color couldnt be fixed no matter what you did to it. I took Dan home and I went to Do It Best to get a different red. I ended up getting RED red. Ya know like bad red? Lol. I didnt know it was bad obviously until I got home. The guy at Do It Best actually gave us the best tip..he told us to use up all of the previous red (pinkish red) on our walls as a base, then paint this new Do It Best red on top. Well...we loved the "base" soo much that we kept it! ( I had to go back to Menards a third time to get more! ) It worked out so well! Im so happy with our "custom" color and it really makes our house a home.
Our bathroom ended up working out really well too. I wanted a sand color and the first time we went to Menards we got a light tan. When we brought it home I wasnt that crazy about it. We had only put a stroke or two on the wall but I wasnt feeling it. So the second time we went back to Menards, I bought a random tan but just a quart of it. I really didnt know what to do. We ended up painting two walls the lighter shade and one wall the darker shade. It looks like wet sand and dry sand. They go perfectly together, I couldnt believe how well they went and we didnt even compare or plan it. :) Yay.
Dan was sick yesterday and I wasnt feeling that great. We both ended up sleeping A LOT. I fell asleep outside to get a little tan, then fell asleep in my bed then on the couch.. and Dan slept on the other couch watching golf I swear for 8 hours! How boring lol. That can put a person to sleep..haha. I made lettuce wraps that were SOO good for lunch.
Overall it was a great weekend. I actually only saw fireworks driving from Walgreens to my house on Friday night after I was picking up some photos. I am very blessed for all the brave soldiers who fight for our freedom and I think this holiday is MUCH more than just fireworks and cookouts and I truely felt the meaning.
