April. Good times.

Life sure does get in the way sometimes.
There are times when you say that and then someone asks you:
"So what have you been up to then?"
And all you can say is:
"Well, not much really. But I've been busy."
And then you feel kind of silly because you realized that that excuse really sucked.

So here I am, ready to dish out my excuses, like some kind of heaping plate of spaghetti with meat sauce. I'm not sure what that means, but it sounds yummy, doesn't it? And I do loves me some pasta bolognese.

Anyway, there was April. It came and went, leaving me with memories of a fun filled visit from my cousin Jenny, and a surprise proposal from my boyfriend. So while Jenny and I pranced around Paris, I basked in the glow and sparkle of the ring on my finger.

My herb guy at the market is going to be sorely disappointed, as he has already stated that one day he and I would be married. I think I caught his attention by buying 6 different bunches of fresh herbs in one shot.
"That's hot", he probably said to himself before he announced his intentions.
Who knew.

And the fun doesn't end there.

Tomorrow G and I leave for a swanky resort in the Caribbean, a destination which promises lots of sun and sand. Considering our fair complexions, it seems a highly unlikely vacation spot for us. But I'll be happily SPF'd, on the beach, whiling the hours away under an umbrella with a book (or many) and some sort of cheesy tropical drink in hand, whose name I will never remember but I'll keep telling the cabana boy that I want that pink one in the pineapple shell with that pretty flower sticking out the top. And the cabana boy will laugh and think how cute it is that I can never remember the name of the drink that I have already ordered 6 times that day, and he'll think to himself:
"Gee, that girl wears alot of sunscreen but she sure is charming."
And then he'll be blinded by the sparkle of the diamond on my new ring and he'll think:
"Oh, she's taken. That's hot."
And I'll be like: "Yeah. You know it. "

So there. Those are my excuses. The point of all of it is that I will be back in business soon. And hopefully I will have some swanky resort pictures to share with you when we get back next week.

See you then!
