i was not made for cold weather.

it has definitely been confirmed that although i was born into this weather, i was not meant to be in this weather. don't get me wrong...i love snowmen and gluhwein and skiing and sledding and iceskating. but i hate the cold. it may be one of the few things that isn't a people that i feel really passionate about.
the past four days in mexico were exactly what i wanted. falling asleep all lazy in the sun, listening to the ocean.
lips, we totally took your advice on the drinking and staggering, but isla de mujeres will have to wait until next time. we did go snorkeling in chakanaab, though. we were stalked by a barracuda...i've had Heart in my head ever since.
sometimes, when i'm greeting people on the plane, i feel like i'm a cast member in "the love boat", but i know that what i feel doesn't even compare to what the hotel staff at this resort must feel. everyone says hello. everyone smiles. there are activities planned all day and night.
in my head it is similar to what david foster wallace describes in "a supposedly fun thing i will never do again". but i would totally go on a cruise. and i would totally go to this place again for mindless drinking on the beach.
the weirdest thing must have been on the last night we were there. on the way back from dinner the theater doors were open and i heard music from the musical "cats"
the staff was on stage. dressed as cats. dancing and lip syncing to "jellical cats". the back drop looked like it had been painted by a 5th grader. a lot of thought went into the choreography. it was a whole mix of broadway. phantom of the opera. chorus line. chicago. cats. i just wish someone had seen it besides us.
i found pretty shells but michael told me they should stay on the beach.
i think he's probably right.
it's cold in ny. we're going to a holiday party in westchester dressed as a band on tour. van and all.
i wonder what it's like in texas. i think i'm going to miss gayle's party...did i miss gayle's party?
my toes are really cold.
but i think i have enough brown to last me until we make it to maui. i can hold out for two more months...two more months.
