Wow, it's been almost a year!

Looking back, I can't believe my last post was February 9th of 2009. On New Year's I gave a passing thought to starting to blog again, as it is a nice memoir of what goes on in my life, and here I am, only 29 days later feeling positive and relaxed after the roller coaster of glee and funk that was 2009 - mostly glee but some heavy funk.

Married life has been wunnerful, though not much different than before we said "I do" and I promise to post some pics of the honeymoon soon. We did have to officially split the holidays and tried to do so in a way that our most important events are spent where we want to be. This means, every second TG we switch off having it with my family or Gus's, Christmas Eve's at my parents', Christmas day with his family, and New Year's eve is all ours to do what we want. Oh, and I face the daunting task of changing my name...which I have to wait for until I have no outstanding plane tickets in my old name. Which right now would be March.

Speaking of plane tickets, this last weekend was spent in Napa at a bachelorette party for my good college girlfriend and her close 7 friends. I flew in to SF and took BART to her house where a ride picked us up to La Casita - a holiday house with 2 bedrooms and a pull out couch. At max I think we had 3 people/bed after some of the single ladies brought home random guys. It was a little crazy and debaucherous, complete with a toe sucking threesome and lots of toplessness. I was a good girl and even drove some one's car home after the weekend when she was still drunk in the morning. Not that I didn't drink my fair share but it's all relative. The wine tasting was fabulous and while it rained on and off in CA for the last 2 weeks it cleared up for our Saturday tasting. We got a driver and car and rode around in an Escalade - I could get used to that. Saw a double rainbow.

This was the first weekend Gus and I had spent apart and I missed him and the Bish so much that I was anxious to get home on Monday morning, and after being dropped off at the wrong terminal, arriving at the right gate sweating buckets, waiting for a delayed flight it was nice to enjoy the flight and look forward to waiting for my hubby on the pull in lanes of DIA pick up. But I didn't have to, he had parked and met me at the terminal with a flower and a smile and I melted to be home. Aaaaaahhhh.....Thank you Gus, you're the best.
