We interrupt this message…
I am going to sway away from my Cancun updates to share with you all that we will be going to Fogo de Chao tomorrow night. I will update once I am stuffed to the point of wanting to vomit…
Mexico – El dia dos
Sharon and I were woken up by the lovely sound of our phone ringing and Phillip telling us to wake up, cause we need to eat breakfast and get ready to leave for our snorkeling tour (yeah I know I know we said we were not going to do any excursions of the resort, but it just sounded like too much fun). We rushed downstairs and grabbed some breakfast then met everyone in the lobby. Once all 8 of us were together we took the city bus to Aquaplace, paid our dues and waited for our boat to arrive. We spent about 30 minutes roaming around the gift shop and lathering on about 30 layers of sunscreen. We got fitted with our flippers and headed on to the boat. It was about 10 minutes in to our ride, when they came around with huge bottles of cerveza and it was delish. We finally made it to our final destination aka The Mother ship. After meeting our Mexican Host Johnny Deep and getting the details about what to do and not what to do, we all jumped in the water and followed our tour guide around. The water was super clear and the fishes were awesome, but after about 30 minutes in the water we were ready to get our butts back on the ship and take a breather. Well Jar Jar and Sharon were not feeling so good and we all decided to head back to the resort. We waited around about 20 minutes for the boat to return to take us back and mean while Phillip and I decided that we were not ready to go back. So everyone with the exception of Sharon, Phillip and I headed back to the hotel. We managed to spend about another hour or so on the boat, drinking 40’s and doing beer bongs.
It was AWESOME!!! a true Cancun vacation!!!
So after drinking more cerveza and meeting some CRAZY chicks from Florida, we headed back to the Hotel. I don’t remember much from the ride back, but somehow (probably thanks to Sharon) we made it back to the Hotel in time to take a shower and head down to dinner at the Italian restaurant.
Poor Sharon did not last long (she was still feeling motion sickness) and she headed up to our room to get some rest. Soon after Phillip and I left and headed to the lobby bar and get our drink on and of course mingle with some new peeps. A little later Sharon joined us at the bar and we decided that we needed to go walk on the beach in pitch dark and play in the water. But I must say, there is something very satisfying about jumping in the pool, in the middle of the night with your clothes on (well Sharon and I had our clothes on, boo was in his tighty whiteys). We stayed in the pool for about 15 minutes before we realized we were freezing… so we headed up to our room and all three of us jumped in the shower (thank you Sharon for the brilliant idea) and chit chatted for a good 10 minutes while our bodies were de-frosting (I am kicking my self for not grabbing the camera to snap a picture), but I guess some things need to be kept in our minds only. That pretty much marked our second day in Mexico…
Mexico – El dia uno
Let me start by saying, WE HAD A BLAST!!!
The morning started by Rob and I waking up at 4:45AM to start getting ready. We were out the house by 5:15AM and headed towards Sharon’s. We were headed towards the airport South Terminal by 5:45AM. Yup, you read that right the South Terminal. We had not heard of it, until that morning either. We made our way in to the small/scary looking terminal and were checking in, when we realized that Sharon booked her ticket under her married name, but her passport had our maiden name. A little freak out moment, but they quickly notified us that for $40 she could get her ticket changed. So off we went to the sales desk to have things corrected. It was surprisingly painless and quick. So after checking in our bags, we sat around waiting for the rest of our party of 8. They arrived around 6:50AM and we went in through the security to wait for our 8:55AM flight.
We flew Viva Aerobus which was a roller coaster ride on its own. The plane was first come first serve seating, but apparently people have a hard time understanding what that means. It does not mean go in and save 3 row’s of seats for the people in your party. It means sit your a$$ down and let other’s take their seats. Phillip almost went off on this one lady (it was actually pretty funny). Anywho, after a crazy OMG I am about to die landing, we were in MEXICO… We waited for our luggage, then headed out to find transportation to take us to the Hotel. We found a van to take us all for $11 a person (not too bad). We arrived and figured out that check-in is not until 4:00PM. No problem! They took our bags and showed us to the restaurant where we were able to fill our bellies and get our drink on. After 3 Pina Coladas and some yummy food we (Sharon, Phillip and I) headed to the beach (the rest of the group headed to the mall that was located across the street from our hotel). We soked up the beauty and all the sun we could and rode the waves. We could not have asked for a better day to arrive in Cancun. After swimming and cooking in the sun for about 4 hours we decided to see if our room was available. Everyone had their room, but Sharon and I. Which was all good with us. We just headed to Phillip and DJ’s room and chilled until our room was ready. After bathing and getting cleaned up, we all headed down to the buffet to grab some dinner and drinks. From what I remember, it was an earlish kind of night, we were all pooped from traveling and the lack of sleep from waking up before the sun.
VIVA La Mexico…
It will be a little quiet around here for the next few days… I will be chillin with a cerveza in my hand, tanning at the beach in Mexico. I promise to share some pictures upon my return. Stay Tuned!!!
Is this a new trend?
Twice today I read a post or a question about people getting rid of or thinking about getting rid of their dogs. The dog’s that they loved and promised to take care of for the rest of their lives. The dog’s they probably called their baby and spoiled rotten.
Why you ask?
Well, these lovely people had kids! Now I am not a parent to a human child, so I am sure some of you would say, well I wouldn’t expect you to understand anyway, but that is bull$hit. So, these people both posted (on the same day, different boards) about getting rid of their dogs, because they snipped at their child. Yes! Yes! you are reading that correctly. These people are willing to give their dogs to a shelter or some stranger because they do not grasp the concept that their 4 legged child is a DOG. At the end of the day, your little pooch is only a DOG and DOG’s can act on certain things that we may not understand. It is 100% your responsibility to watch and take care of the DOG for the rest of its life. Would you put your kid on an ad on the paper? or call a shelter for someone to come and pick it up? If you don’t think you can handle both, think before adopting a puppy or having a child. They are both a big commitment, a commitment that YOU need to follow through.
Ohhh and don’t even get me started on the post about the one who put her DOG down!!!
How Boyish or Girlish Are You?
You Are 40% Boyish and 60% Girlish |
![]() You are pretty evenly split down the middle – a total eunuch. Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes. You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don’t actively fight them. You’re just you. You don’t try to be what people expect you to be. |
Ohhhh How I have Missed You…
My sweet sweet Wordpress. After switching to blogger for a few months I am super happy to be back. See a few months ago I blogged about every other week, so being on a semi working blog site was OK. But since I have started blogging a lot more I started to realizw how un-friendly blogger was. I especially seemed to run in to a lot of problems on my mac and I think SRR was starting to get just a tiny little bit irritated with all my questions and complaints about using trying to use blogger. I will probably spend many many hours making sure everything copies back correctly and I have just the right theme, so don’t be surprised if Poontater looks different everytime you visit.
Much Love

Goal #11 – Read One Book a Month 07/12
Picked this book up from BN when I really had nothing in particular in mind but wanted to read something fun and quick. It is a very cute and fast moving book.
Life’s a bit of a beach these days for Ginger Walsh, who’s single at forty-one and living back home in the family FROG (Finished Room Over Garage). She’s hoping for a more fulfilling life as a sea glass artist, but instead is babysitting her sister’s kids and sharing overnights with Noah, her sexy artist boyfriend with commitment issues and a dog Ginger’s cat isn’t too crazy about. Geri, her BlackBerry-obsessed sister, is also nearly over the deep end about her pending fiftieth birthday (and might just drag Ginger with her). Toss in a dumpster-picking father, a Kama Sutra T-shirt-wearing mother, a movie crew come to town with a very cute gaffer, an on-again-off-again glassblower boyfriend, plus a couple of Red Hat realtors, and hilarity ensues. The perfect summer read, Life’s a Beach is a warm, witty, and wise look at what it takes to move forward at any stage in life.
BEWARE of random VENT!!!
How is it that in the year 2008 when the science behind Birth Control has been advanced beyond anyone’s imagination, can people say “I accidentally got pregnant”? Did you know that when a man and women have sex, and when the sperm meets the egg it makes a baby? I mean WTF people. Either educate your self (because that makes you sound DUMB as a branch on a tree) or don’t tell people that you got ACCIDENTLY pregnant. You are not freaking 15 (even at that age I am sure people still know about Birth Control).
Different forms of Birth Control
Birth Control Method’s and FAQ’s
How babies are made
I mean I googled Birth Control and came up with the above three links in less then a second…
Educate your self… because if you don’t use protection you will get pregnant!!!
