february's mexican adventure

we may be in the home stretch of april, but last week old man winter just wouldn't go away.  with temps back in the 30's and snow on the ground again {ugh} all i could think of was my butt in the sand with a drink in my hand.....oh mexico, how i miss you....

no one bothered the cute girl laying all alone in the un-reserved cabana....until some goofy greek kid sat down next to her......thanks greg
started every day with yummy fresh fruit, nuts and coconut shreds {the gf bread tasted like sand}, but i'm pretty sure i ate my weight in guacamole and ceviche, so no worries :)
beach volleyball in the mornings, and pool volleyball in the afternoons
we went swimming with dolphins and all i got was this lousy bracelet... {just kidding! greg told me i couldn't take one home :( }
a crazy mexican cover band that {hilariously} played *highway to hell,* *save a horse,* *honkey-tonk woman,* and so many other mangled spanglish rock songs
zip-lining through the jungle, *superman style*
a gorgeous sunset ocean cruise
the irony of being sunburnt in a bikini {that doesn't make you look like a 12 year old up top...yay!} and your winter coat hanging in the closet
the all-in-one hospital/casino, right across the street
and the nightly view from our balcony
looking back at these pictures helps me forget the chaos we came home to. thanks again to greg's parents, it was an awesome trip!

hello february 2014

all 4 goals for last month were accomplished, wooohooo! i like a nice strong start for the year. with this being the shortest month, and a week long vacation planned {yay for mexico in february!!} i wanted to keep this month's goals pretty simple:

> so there's this pair of skinny jeans i've owned for, oh, at least 3 years now....and they've all ways been too long. if i'm wearing flats, i just roll up the cuffs, and greg calls me a 1950's greaser.  these are also the only pair of pants that fit in my tall brown boots, and with my shapely calves, it's a tight squeeze with all of the extra length rolled under. oh, and i also *kinda* know how to sew ;)......i think its time to get it done. UPDATE: i'm lazy, i'll add this to march's list

> by the first week of the month i should have all of the paperwork i need to get my tax forms filled out....and i'll feel so much better knowing its done and over with. no dawdling. UPDATE: finished on the 27th, whoohoo!

> ugh, no sugar. efffff... this one is going to be sooo hard.  my gluten allergy cuts out 75% of the things my sweet tooth craves, but jelly beans and peanut butter m&m's are still pretty easy to come by.  i have a feeling that sugar plays a big part in my tummy troubles too, so we're going cold turkey {excluding all of the gf cupcakes at the bridal shower and the m&m's that got me through the plane ride last weekend :/ }. UPDATE: i'll call this one semi-successful. willpower was strong the first week of the month, and plenty of fresh fruit to keep me occupied while on vacation. but i may have eaten a few handfuls of stale marshmallows when we got back :/ and given in to some caramel cadbury eggs on the 28th, booo.

> SUPRISE! i never did send out any of my cards for january :( oops. i think i psyched myself out about writing them. lets try again this month. UPDATE: these were in the mail in time for valentines day <3

what are your goals for this month? leave a comment!
