MIA at A Lot of Layers

My apologies, I have been utterly and completely MIA lately as far as posting goes. It has been several weeks of birthday celebrations, the end of school and other nonsense. I also needed a creep break after a bit of unpleasantness reminded me that truly ANYONE can read your posts. Eww. But, I am over it. Child predators, please kill yourselves.

I have been preparing and packing for our trip to the Dominican Republic, in which I have been warned agreed NOT to bring my computer (deep breaths). I have not traveled without a laptop since I can't-remember-when and it makes me feel a little veklempt.

This is the moment I realized I had tossed my Blackberry
in the suitcase at some point in the packing process 10 layers down.
 Don't tell Special Agent if I post a blog from the Blackberry. Also, don't look closely at the spelling. It is tough to type a post on those wee, tiny buttons. But I just might do it.

Listen...can you hear typing?
I also need to sneak the computer with me so I can catch up with all of your blogs. I am way behind on your witty and interesting posts. I am sure most of you can relate that each new bit of great writing means you are now following another blog. When your blogroll feels like a "to do" list you are furiously trying to accomplish, The Onion needs to get a grip. On the upside of this, you are all hilarious.

As I lounge on the couch, watching informercials of 30-day body challenges, I realize that I am about 30 days behind in the process with regard to a beach ready body. Oh well, I purposely picked an Americanized resort after a bad experience with a lot of hot Europeans several years ago on our Mexico trip. I hadn't realized real people could be that good looking.

I have never felt so American....it was the mental equivalent
of wearing black socks with sandals....
This time, I am hauling my beach chair closer to this fella:


But....(and I mean that figuratively)..I think I will sit on his other side.

Happy weekend.

LOL... You sure you're going to be able to smuggle your Blackberry pass Special Agent? You better hope there is no last minute baggage inspection!

Enjoy your trip!! Just think of all the new material you will have when you return, in addition to a greater appreciation for technology. :)

Enjoy your trip and definitely understand the to do list. I always feel like I am behind on visiting people. As much as I enjoy your writing I have to say I agree with Special Agent, no laptops, no crackberries. Just enjoy your trip.

I will not hold it against you that you are about to depart on a tropical resort love fest but know, I am jealous. And you better have some travel shenanigan greatness to share when you return. Promise??

Shit, half the time I'm afraid to leave my house let alone the country. You could will me your computer if you really cared.

Well there is no surer way to keep creepy Internet stalkers at bay than to weigh 300 pounds. Forget the workout tapes and join the bacon and cheese of the week club.

Hey, I don't have any creepy Internet stalkers (damn it!) so it's a proven plan!

SherilinR said...

i like the idea of joining the cheese of the week club to keep away stalkers! that probably works on real life ones too. that's gonna be my new excuse.
have a great vaca!
