Just Cruising...

Calogero and I just got home from a much needed 7 day cruise to the Mexican Riviera. I LOVED it! If you have not been on a cruise I so totally suggest you get going my friends they are so chill and also tons of fun. I ate around the clock, worked on my killer tan, saw some great shows, and tons of other fun stuff I can't wait to tell you about. Calogero and I haven't been on a vacation with just the two of us forever so it was nice to hang out with just us. (We usually vacation with our fav friends Shane and Ashlee and we will for sure cruise with them next time. We love you two and missed ya!) So back to my trip. The ship we were on was really pretty and huge there were 2,500 passengers and 1,200 crew members on our cruise and I never felt crowded. This is a picture of midship. For the first two days we laid around, went swimming, got a tan, and a couples massage (I LOVE Massages!) such a good way to start out your vacation. Our ports were Puerto Vallarts, Mazatlan, and Cabo San Lucas. We went horse back riding in Puerto Vallarta and I swam bareback on a horse through a river it was so fun. That is me in the water with my horse, the water was crazy deep I can't believe horses swim so well. My horse Lucero (Brooke I didn't know you had family in Puerto Vallarta hehehe sorry I couldn't resist) loved the shade he would take us all over just to be under a tree for 3 seconds. Calogero's horse loved to run him into fences and nip at him, sorry you had a bum horse babe. In Mazatlan we just went shopping and to the beach it was so windy. Mazatlan is not someplace I would like to go back to. If I ever cruised there again I probably wouldn't leave the port. Next we went to Cabo I really liked it. It was so pretty and clean I will for sure be going back to Cabo. I swam with Dolphins in Cabo! I had such a fun time with Roschio (my dolphins name) I got to swim with him for about an hour petting him, doing tricks, getting kisses, and I got to hold onto his dorsel fin and take a ride around the tank! So fun. If you have the opportunity to swim with dolphins take it I had a perma grin on my face all day! I don't have any pics for the blog of my swim they wouldn't allow us to take any pictures we had to buy them for $25 a piece so I got one but it's not digital sorry. We had a great time and got in some much needed relaxation, but it is always nice to come home. And thankfully it hasn't been terribly cold here. Thanks for reading my lengthy post. I'm going to leave you with a sunset from each port. They were so beautiful. Much Love!

TAG

So Lacey tagged me forever ago, and I have been to lazy honestly to do it but after much thought I am ready to tackle the Tag! So I am supposed to share 6 of my quirks with ya'll so here we go:
1. I CAN NOT have my food touching! I know it all ends up jummbled together in my stomach anyway but that doesn't mean I have to do it on my plate. My Dad and brother Andrew almost always mix it all together and I just do not see the appeal.
2. I always save the best for last. When I am eating if there is a part of my meal or even just a french fry the I think looks better then the others I will wait and eat it last. Calogero used to think that me leaving it there for awhile meant I wasn't interested in eating it and he would pick it up and throw it in his mouth. After hearing my screeching a few times and having his hands slapped he has learned don't touch unless offered. (doesn't that make me sound like such a sweetie)
3. I can not have help cleaning my house. I will follow around this helper doing things over again and making endless suggestions. The thing that sucks about this annoying little habit is I don't want to do all the cleaning myself,but if people can't do it right (and by right I of course mean my way) then I don't want their help at all.
4. This is more hygenic then quirky but I do not share chapstick. Not interested in herpes my friends but I still love ya!
5. I do not put my mouth on water bottles and I do not allow anyone to put their mouth on my water bottle either (eventhough for some reason my Mom tries to sneak it everytime!) I am not a backwasher or anything but others are.
6. I am totally awkward on the phone. I for some reason get uncomfortable having phone conversations. I don't know if anyone has ever noticed but I kind of ramble and then try to end my call quickly sometimes in the middle of someone talking. Never does this happen at work with strangers on the other line but with friends and family. So if you have ever talked to me on the phone and thought what a weirdo or how rude don't take it personally just know I have phone difficulty sorry.

So those are a few quirks that I carry around but that's me. I am not going to tag anyone but I would love to hear about some of your quirks!
