So, first of all - hi to everyone. I had a super surreal moment over the weekend in that I was recognized from my blog (hi Kathleen!). I'm kind of a nut about who reads my blog (thank you, sitemeter) and have seen that people from all over read this shizz. It surprises me and flatters me because I feel like if you don't really know me in life, you wouldn't really find this entertaining. A lot of my friends say that they hear my voice in their heads as they read this (and that's either a really good thing, or wow... I am SO sorry).
Anywho - awhile ago, Hillary (hi Hillary!) left a comment on my blog. She had randomly found it through Nanette's blog and it turned out we were going to the same wedding. Weird! And I'm not going to lie, my rectum clenched up when I thought, "Oh shit - I hope she doesn't think I was talking shit on the bride to be" because while I sort of was, it was one of those situations where I had no problems being upfront with the girl and BTB's husband knew the sitch.
Well... The Mr. and I were eating some overpriced breakfast at the hotel and I saw him wave hello to someone. Before I turned around, I asked "who are you waving to?" and through an awkward clenched smile he whispered, "I have no idea".
So over walks this woman, with a VERY Texan accent (and I swear it just makes everything sound better... a Baltimore accent consists of using words like 'hon' and 'hey essai' or 'mama cita... aiy yay yay'). She looked at me and said, "I read your blog and I just love it!"
After unchoking from my $10 piece of toast, I turned red and sat there like a turd. She introduced herself, complimented the pics we've been taking and seriously? Made me feel awesome. Guys, I am awesome. I know I say this daily but seriously, I was recognized. For my blog. Suck on that!
Alright, because I made an oath to blog daily I'm going to stretch out the weekend stuff over the next few days but here is everything in a nutshell:
- The place was crazy expensive
- The weather was super humid but sunny
- The wedding was lovely
- I should never form judgements about 'adults' because these ladies put me to shame on the dancefloor
- Nobody should ever tell me things that will make me angry when I'm drinking
- I should have packed more accessories
- I have a strong desire to buy more leopard print
- PR kept me regular
- The Mr. sucks at gambling
- I talked about blogging way too much and may or may not have made some folks uncomfortable with the amount of stuff I was able to regurgitate back to them about their lives since I read about it
- The Mr. spent a good portion interviewing Maria about photography and now has a strong desire to "go into business" so we can write everything off
... and that's it for now. As for pictures, here are a few of the hotel to tide you over:

YAY! Mom and I made the blog!
It was so much fun meeting you this weekend. However, I too am about to pass out. I left the resort at 2pm (10am pacific time) and got home about 1am pacifc time. Ughhh...
Regardless, this weekend was a blast. I hope to see you again soon!
OMG...watch out Perez Hilton...MrsTwink is on her way!! :) It's unreal how huge this BLOG stuff has gotten.
I'm glad you made it back safely...sorry about the cold weather though :(
I've never been recognized from my blog. How fun! I think.
Hee, hee. I can imagine how surprising that was for ya. The internet is a surprisingly small place!
So you realize you're practically a celebrity now? You may want to look into hiring some bodyguards. If only so they can make Starbucks runs for you when you don't want to leave the house.
I've yet to randomly meet another blogger I read, but I have met some people who know those people. It's weird. The internet is kind of bizarrely small and six degrees of separationish.
HA! I love it! The choking on the $10 toast part was especially funny. (I can say that because you were fine and didn't die from choking. If you ended up in the hospital, I'd probably still think it was funny about choking on the toast, but I wouldn't tell you that.)
It was so much fun meeting you and The Mr. at the wedding! I have loved reading your account of the doings and plan on blasting the hotel in the survey that I just got ... not that I really think they will care. Have you seen the pictures that Justine took? They are beautiful. Hope I will see you again, but will keep you informed about the celebs that come my way. Kathleen
P.S. Thanks for the shout-out ... it was my first.
