Tomorrow marks my 40th birthday, as well as our return home from our honeymoon. :) We'll be spending most of our day in one airport or another -- Mexico to Houston to Newark -- so I thought I'd give myself a shoutout now, while R is still sleeping.

I'm not sure I've quite settled in to the notion of turning 40 yet, but I'm doing it in the best way possible...newly-married, just coming back from our honeymoon to our apartment. Part of me doesn't want to come home and resume real life anytime soon -- we both hate our jobs, and now that the wedding's over, need to get back to finding new ones. But part of me is ready to get back -- I'm done with the sun, I want to see tall buildings and get Thai food, I miss our friends.

I'm turning 40 less gracefully than I turned 30, I think. Turning 30 was great -- I had the best time, I really loved my 30s. :) Turning 40...I'm expected to be a little older, a little wiser, and there's a little more experience than I'd necessarily prefer. I'm on my second (and hopefully LAST) marriage, I've had many in my family pass away, and there's just been so many family issues. Hopefully, things will smooth out and settle down, now. And yes, we're trying for kids. :) Let's see if that happens, too.

I need to go check on R, and the lobby's actually a little noisy -- which is good,as typically it's deserted and very like "The Shining." Still playing surreal music, tho'. 'later!

Random observations:

• Going out into town, in the middle of the day, on top of a bad sunburn is just...bad. Remind us not to do it again. R wound up taking refuge in a Starbucks. :(


• Our hotel lobby is like the Mexican version of "The Shining." It's ALWAYS deserted, and the music gets more surreal every time we come in.


• Tried to do my MexiGnome impression. R thinks I'm even more nuts than usual.


• We're doing a "canopy tour" tomorrow, where you explore the jungle on a series of ziplines. You're 90 ft up. We're both TERRIFIED of heights. Why are we doing this again? Ah, yes, stupidity.

Music we heard at lunch today...while sipping very large drinks involving coconuts...

• Mexi-Celt (I seriously want to drink with those guys)
• Mexi-Ska
• Mexi-Doors
• Mexi-Enya...
• And our personal fave: Mexi-POLKA!

Caliente! XD
