we know who you are.

i still can't believe it. it still hasn't sunk in. you're not here and yet you're constantly in our thoughts and hearts. sure i've run the gamete of emotions, denial, anger, fear, frustration, and of course, it's not fair. truth be told, it's not fair and it never is. i find it difficult to form complete thoughts that don't include expletives when it comes to them, i'm jealous that they had the time with you, i'm angry for the lack of consideration and even more angry at the total cowardly acts after the fact. those people didn't know you, at least, not the real you. we know who you are, and we always will. thank you for all you extended to me, kindness and forgiveness and understanding and lots of smiles.

vacation all i ever needed.

i really forgot how being totally out of touch with the rest of the world is so very refreshing!
this is the second week back from paradise and unfortunately, i'm already back to the daily grind. cancun was amazing and beautiful. chichen itza was breath-taking. the resort was fantastical (thanks Rachel Ray!) it was wonderful to sit next to my honey, on the beach chair under an umbrella listening to the waves and reading a book. but 4 days wasn't enough, i could have done 10 more! anyhow...here are a few choice photos from the trip...if you want more go to my photobucket account here (http://s20.photobucket.com/albums/b235/momo38/Cancun%202009/)

This was a beautiful "sink hole" in the mountain.

The resort had a club on-site called galaxy....star wars themed. awesome.

The BIG pyramid at Chichen Itza.

Lovers.

cha, cha, changes.

i can't believe it's been almost a month since i last posted. life is just flying by so fast, i hardly have time to take it all in, let alone write about it on here. anyhow, as you can see my blog as undergone some beautifying, and i must say that i am very happy with the way it turned out. Lyndsay, this lovely lady, mother and wifey set this all up, you can get more info here http://www.beautifymyblog.com/ i've always thought she was the bees knees!

i registered for the houston half-marathon today. the race in january 17, 2010. i thought it'd be a great way to start off my 30th year on this planet, well that and being ms. mahler! but i really want to start pushing myself to new limits, to try new things. not that 30 is old, but these past 30 years have gone by so fast, i remember what i wore to my 14th birthday party and here i am, 30 years old (well, almost) and i fear that if i let the next 30 years go by without forcing myself to step-up to the plate and actually DO all the things i've always said i wanted to do, than i never will. i feel i have to make up for lost time, i spent the majority of my 20's in an intoxicated cloud and it's hard for me to fathom that the last 7 years have actually happened and are now over. so with this new decade in life, comes a new lease on it as well. i hope i don't disappoint myself too badly!
