My Trip

I MISSSSSSSSSED YOU! It's good to be back for a nice deep breath of blogxygen. First, a bit about my lovely trip:

It was fantasmorphic. Is that a word? Now it is. Really, it was amazing. This resort we stayed in was made for the gods. Incredible gardens and fountains were in abundance, several adult only pools, massages, manis, pedis, jacuzzis, tennis, what more can I say? It was so relaxing, really it was just what I needed. Here are a few pics:

Having just arrived in Green Valley, we went to grab a steak - which, I'm sure you all know, I was thrilled about! My twin bro and Angela (the wife) are super cutes.

My Penny and I waiting for our turn to wack the tennis ball around.




My sissy Brooke playing a match of tennis with my twin brother before it got too hot. She gets in these certain moods and thinks she's really cool and wears her leather jacket and stuff. Unfortunately I was not able to capture a kodak moment of her super coolness, but she still looks hot in her tennis gear.


Heeeeee-eeey from the pool!


Am I getting tanner? I don't see any color! Maybe taking a picture and looking at it through the lens will help me see....suck. Didn't see much change till I got inside and saw that I looked like an overgrown, suffering lobster. And I even wore sunblock!



A little while later...ouch. (I promise I'm not showing as much of my boobie as it looks. I have a long torso...?)

My hair never blows gracefully like it does in the movies. We were blasting the music to the fabulo Leona Lewis and feeing groovy, on our way to a movie that I didn't know was supposed to be about aliens Indiana Jones.

Boost love.

Enjoying a game of Scrabble and some tea. I tried the African Redbush and the Tahitian Hazelnut Vanilla, and much preferred the latter. Angela went with plain 'ol hot chocolate, but my mom had fun trying the different teas.

Um, sir? There's a giant killer toad in the pool. Yup. The little sucker was swimming in there as if he owned the place - he seemed quite acclimitated to the chlorine, too - it was weird. The area is so lush and green in an otherwise desert climate that the resort gets lots of animals trying to cozy around in places they shouldn't. There were, like, giant lizards everywhere, too. Did you know they can climb trees? Unbeknowest to me, they certainly can. Weird.

Here's me, getting ready to go to the pool. It was just to my right (your left). I was actually really relieved that I didn't completely want to throw a fit and writhe around on the floor after looking at my new bod in a bathing suit. I totally dealt with it.

So that's it. I had a great time, and was quite proud of myself for being near my goal weight and still being seen in public with a small tight piece of fabric. Seriously, people, I hope you all realize what a big step this is for me. Go bad body image but not doing anything negative about it!

I'm busy catching up on blogs, and if I haven't commented on yours yet, never fear, don't lose heart and self-esteem, I will get to it soon (Ha. As if you all really care about my opinion that much. But that's okay. I'm secure enough or whatever.)

More later. I've got more I'd like to get to, but the man-child is finished with his afternoon nap...
