Absolutely appalled!

Ok, so I’m a member of theknot.com. For those of you who don’t know, it’s basically a website where brides can get to know each other and it helps organize your wedding with all kinds of lists etc.
The have an iPad app, who doesn’t right? So yesterday a woman posted about not knowing the difference between a Jack & Jill or Buck & Doe (etc.) party. I told them that it’s just a shower with both the bride & groom and the same with a combined bachelor & bachelorette party. Just different ways of saying the same thing.

Apparently in some parts of this world, a Jack and Jill party is a party you throw to RAISE MONEY FOR YOUR WEDDING!!!!!!!!!

Are you kidding me? If I showed up at a party thinking it’s just a shower or whatever and they expected me to pay a cover charge as well as for the food and drinks, I would laugh hysterically, then the immediate thoughts through my mind would be white trash, classless, greedy, scumbags! When you plan a wedding, you are already asking people to buy you a gift, in some cases buy all kinds of things to be IN the wedding, shower gifts, engagement gifts, etc….Plus some people have to take time off of work! If you can’t afford it, CUT BACK! Do NOT EVER ask your guests to help fund your wedding. So tacky! Why don’t you just charge $80 a head at the door when they get to the wedding with a gift in their hand. It’d be easier!

We got engaged…in Mexico???

March 10, 2011 Leave a Comment

Yesterday in the beautiful sun and blistering heat I lost my Fiance for a good 20 minutes. if not longer. He went inside to check the weather for today and to see if Customer Service could make a reservation for us at my FAVORITE restaurant in all of Cancun. Yes, the one with Lorenzo the crocodile :-) Apparently he met a woman who had just gotten in and wanted a little guidance as her BF was flying in to meet her there…and they hadn’t seen each other in 20 years! I can’t wait to hear how it went :-)

Anyway, something with the Customer Service woman, who is awesome by the way, got lost in translation and she called to make the reservation and apparently told them we were getting engaged there!!!!! So they made a special reservation for us. We had no idea how special it was until we got there. We were like rockstars. Literally!

As soon as Dennis gave him the reservation name, we were like royalty!!! When you walk in they have an indoor restaurant like any other, it just overlooks the harbor. If you go to either side they have outdoor piers and patios. We figured a table in the corner outside right? He takes us to the right to the patio we’ve never eaten on, and there is no one there. I’m thinking a patio just for us? And feeling VERY guilty! He kept walking and kept walking and KEPT GOING. Now mind you I have a GIANT freaking diamond on my finger, so the further we walked…the harder I tried hiding it!!! We walked all the way down the pier that shoots off the patio to our own private gazebo!!!!!!! It was beautiful, amazing, pics on FB of course….BUT OMG I FELT SO GUILTY! I kept telling Dennis he had to fake it. We had 3 waiters at all times!

They have a photographer that will take your picture, print it and then sell it to you. He also will write on it the date and location on the picture. After we finished our amazing meal, we wanted to move to the other pier so we could see Lorenzo (at least we think that’s his name) :-) We bought a bottle of Ferrari champagne…simply because it was Ferrari and I told Dennis to take a picture and send it to our friend Dom who actually owns a Ferrari.

We were sitting there drinking away, watching the fishies…which made me happy…:-) Still a little country girl left in me I guess. They weren’t anything crazy and pretty it’d be like watching trout at home, but still…it made me happy :-) So, the photographer came over with our picture and if I didn’t already feel guilty enough….he wants us to buy the photo that says 3/9/2011 Cancun and in the center of the photo on top, it says “Our engagement”!!!! So hard not to laugh and I felt so guilty. Dennis didn’t but we spent a lot of money…the Champagne alone was $130!

So, that’s the story of our second engagement. I hope you got a laugh at least once out o it :-) But hey, if you want to be treated well down here, go to Limoncello. Their regular service is tops….tell them your going to get engaged their….you’re suddenly like Brad and Angelina!

Upscale??

March 10, 2011 Leave a Comment

OK. I get that it’s Spring Break, and I’m trying to do as little bitching as possible about the obnoxiousness….and thankfully, we have run into very little and have actually made quite a few friends this time.

BUT I do have a problem with the 4 men in their mid 30′s who are clearly NOT on SB screaming out in the middle of a lobby bar, not a Sports Bar that has an age requirement….a lobby bar with children…the EFF bomb everytime they lose at the card game they are playing. It happened twice in about 10 or 15 minutes….and I’m sorry, but that’s something I would expect out of a Spring Breaker at a Days Inn, not a 5 star all inclusive hotel. The SBers I’ve met have more class than these men. I actually saw one of them pat the bar waitress on the ass!

Rifle Shooting

March 10, 2011 Leave a Comment

OK. I’m praying to God that my Dad who has been trying to get me to go Rifle or Shotgun shooting for probably 25 years does NOT get mad at me. Our first day at the beach in Playa one of the entertainment staff (who by the way wasn’t great with English…Dennis was Denise for the day and a woman named Dawn was Tom) :-) was walking around with a rifle asking anyone if they want AK-47 lessons! We of course laugh and Dennis says, Nah I left my AK home! Everyone around us laughs, and I actually started to think that maybe we should do it!

The next day I had to…the whole time I kept thinking Daddy please don’t be mad! Please don’t be mad. I was even telling the rest of the group the story!!!!! Not shocking at all….I had terrible aim. I think someone in the hotel next us got an eye taken out….yeah I’m that bad! But I expected it :-)

Dennis on the other hand, first shot up, hits one of the targets!!!! AND he was the only one to hit anything from that distance which was the farthest back we could go!!!!! I told him my dad would be proud :-)

Wednesday in Cancun

March 9, 2011 Leave a Comment

10:00 am, we’ve already had all you can eat breakfast, our first mimosa of the day and are by the pool in the blazing sun!

We’re hoping to get reservations on the patio at a place called Limoncello tonight. Then I get to see my favorite alligator!!! Yes there is really a gator that lives there under their pier! Maybe this time Dennis will let me pet it:-)

ANOTHER bathroom embarrassment????

March 6, 2011 Leave a Comment

Everyone who knows me knows certain things about me, first….bad things happen to people who do bad things to me, next….my watch is NEVER on the right way, my zipper is almost always down, and if there’s a way to embarrass yourself with a bathroom….I will do it.

Last night, no exception. Bar #3…which IS the 3rd bottle of wine…I decided I really needed to head to the ladies room. I had Dennis ask where it was for me and after walking up a giant staircase, the bartender pointed me in the right direction.

In front of me, there are 2 frosted doors. One directly in front of me, and one to the right. They aren’t labelled! So, I walked into the first one I saw! Which happened to be the men’s room. Apparently they are labelled AT THE VERY TOP RIGHT CORNER. Not very short person friendly. Not to mention, once I looked at the labels, they looked exactly the same! Luckily there was no one in there and I gave the bartenders a good laugh :-)

That’s not so bad right? What was bad was I finally made it to the ladies room…about 3 feet away and as I’m ridding myself of 3 bottles of wine, a gentleman decided to join me! He apologized profusely and tried shutting the door, only problem was, the doors shut very hard! So, he basically just stood there trying to pull the door shut….staring at me!

How do I manage these things???

Day 3

March 5, 2011 Leave a Comment

After all lasts nights gorgeous rain….and I don’t say that sarcastically, it truly was incredible, we had a great nights sleep, woke up getting ready for another beautiful day by the pool. Within 20 minutes of being up, my whole day fell apart. I know it’s not the end of the world, but to me….it’s a big deal. It’s just so unlike me.

We were sitting at the lobby bar and ran into a few friends we have made…we talked for a while and had some fun. put away the iPads and decided this trip, we’re making friends. I had a cute outfit on…duh…so there was no way I was wasting it and not doing SOMETHING. We had a few out here, and decided to head into the 24 hour sports bar….yes, I said 24 HOURS! We only had a couple drinks as Dennis was getting sleepy. Once the new friends headed to bed we came back out to the lobby bar and didn’t even finish the drinks we had.

We went to bed. Everything is right with the world. UNTIL WE WOKE UP! Suddenly I looked at Dennis and said, “Honey, where’s my phone??” Long story short….someone has an iPhone that’s about 3 months old in perfect condition….and aren’t answering. I thought for sure with the class of people we are staying with here, it would certainly be turned into the front desk. No such luck. Not at the front desk. Not at either bar.

While we are sitting at the lobby bar trying to call AT&T to CANCEL the phone so we don’t have a $9,000 cell phone bill when we get back, the bartender is mixing up all the drink mixes…including the very pretty strawberry mix. As she’s shaking it….the top flies off, and why would it hit Dennis in his dark green shirt? NOOOOO! It hits me….in a white skirt, and a white Lucky Tank. Really? The first hour of my day literally went to hell in a handbasket.

AND I’M GOING TO MISS THE GAME! Now I need to write about day 2 because that was a MUCH happier day!
