Mexico!

Well, after a week of vacation I feel pretty good. It was nice to get away. My mom and I took a week trip to Riviera Maya in Mexico and spent the entire week laying by a pool and drinking. It was fabulous. We didn't take any of those excursions to see anything or do anything, just woke up early, had breakfast and laid out and swam pretty much every day. Went out to the beach a few times and got in the ocean. It was beautiful. The resort was huge which meant a lot of walking, but hey walking isn't really a bad thing so we got used to it pretty quickly. It rained 3 of the days but we got a little bit of sun in each day so it wasn't a total loss. The money that we didn't spend on excursions went to massages, my favorite!

Seeing my mom take shots was probably the best part. It was hysterical. She took 2 Kamikaze shots (vodka, triple sec, lemon juice) that were pretty weak and loved them, but then the bartender made our third shots and they were stronger and the look on her face was priceless after she took it. I also got her hooked on amaretto sours, my favorite drink. The day after we got home she went to the liquor store and bought amaretto and sour mix so she could make them at home. I've created a monster!

Not much else going on. Back to work, which is a good thing. I need money desperately for school books and saving up for my possible Italian study abroad. Its annoying though, because my boss keeps scheduling me for shifts in departments that I'm not trained for so there have been some shifts I couldn't do which makes me lose money. I keep writing him notes telling him to not do it, but he still does. It drives me crazy. I'm only working 3 days for the next two weeks which sucks. I was hoping for like 3 or 4 days a week and I'm getting 1 or 2 and one of those three i'm scheduled for is a shift in photo which I can't do, ugh. Hopefully people will call off and I can go in and get me some money.
