This is crazy!

So as I write this post I am sitting in my living room recovering from a hangover. Yesterday I planned on having a nice quiet night at home but a very good friend cajoled me into going out to the bar because it was nice out. Now y'all know I have no money because it is the end of the month plus I work to pay bill and travel, that's it. But I decided to take the hit and go out for 2 drinks. Long story short, at our 3rd bar we decided to order the Sangria because it was the "recession" special. After drinking the Sangria I ask the Bartender what is in it and he said Brandy....great! I had 2 white cocktails and 1 beer prior to this so I was doing just fine; as soon as I hear "Brandy" I knew that I was going to be in trouble. This morning I woke up at 5 am and I couldn't remember how I got home! I was relieved to be home in my bed with the proper husband. Now I see how people can totally get in trouble after drinking :-/

Costa Rica and a trip to the DMV

I just got back from my short trip to go and hang with the fam in CR. We rented a bus and went to the beach for the day to celebrate my grandmother's birthday with 45 of our closest family friends. It was really hot but we had a fabulous time and you could hear the noise from pretty far away. On my way down to CR I met a guy who is not from CR but actually bought property in Limon...that is so awesome, I really need to kick my game up!

I have been pretty sick this week but I still managed to stand on line at the DMV to finally get a license with my married name. I totally dragged my feet on this because I really hate the DMV but I was pleasantly surprised to see that they actually have a system in place and the women working in there did not have too much of a nasty attitude. The other truth of the matter is that changing my name had to be a gradual process because originally we weren't even on the same page. When we agreed on hyphenating one year after we got married was when I was ready to start taking steps to updating everything. I am very happy to be a member of his family but I am still a post-feminist woman so everything that I accomplished prior to being married under my birth name really does matter; I do not work for fun...I am in it to win!
