Louis Vuitton iPad Case

I have never really been a fan of Louis Vuitton purses. Sure I fell victim to a fancy fake once when Murakami was all the rage, but in my defense the zebra print and neon lettering was hard to resist. I think of myself and that silly purse and wonder what was I thinking. Like a bad boyfriend the purse left me feeling like a cheap floozy. If I really want to get philosophical what does a bag say about a person. Oh I have a LV and you can see it-- cant you see it-- it has lettering all over it-- oh did you miss it... Ok, so if a real LV says that,what does a fake LV say? Here can you see me-- I have a FAKE LV-- it has FAKE lettering all over it-- OH did you miss it...

`

So I have wandered, back to the issue at hand.

Ole Louis has done it again. Just when you thought things could not get any tackier they have come up with a new iPad case. You can get one for $365, which is totally a great deal since the iPad is $499.

The Help

www.kathrynstockett.com/book/

This book was recommended to to me by a friend. I was really looking for a beach read but when I flipped through it at the book store I knew I had to get it. What struck me from the first sentence was the perspective it was written in. The more I read the more interesting it became, with each chapter voiced by different narrators. Obviously set in Mississippi during the 6O's The Help is a moving tale of stories that are seldom told. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone open to seeing things from another point of view.

Tyler Texas Rose Garden

Tyler has long been hailed as the Rose Capital of the world. The Tyler Rose Garden is a quiet spot in the middle of town where rows of flowers bloom endlessly. Roses of different names put off intoxicating aromas lifted softly by the breeze. Though I pass by the garden several times a year it has been years since I stopped in. With weather in the 80's, Sunday proved to be the perfect time for an impromptu visit. All the roses in the garden were in full bloom, smiling and swaying in the sun. There were other flowers too, lots of them, beautiful in vibrant colors. Trails meandered through the acreage directing to different points of interest. A quaint gazebo shyly sat at the edge of the property peeking over a simple view of a nearby bridge and pond. In the end my favorite roses were the purple fuchsia ones, although I don't remember their name. All in all it was a day spent well, and I did stop and smell the roses.

Hangover

So today I have a hangover. Even as I write this I want to puke. My head is pounding and I feel like there is a brick settled somewhere inside my stomach. Weird vibes are moving up and down my spine and a fog is thick within my brain. Why do we pay this price for imbibing... Last nights poison was beer. Nice, light, cold beer that looked oh so innocent and inviting. After the first one I felt great. After the second even better. By the third I was down right blissful. Somewhere after that in the mix of things, between the Lady Gaga on the juke box and the friendly reverie things went awry. My pal for the night turned against me. It was an instant where I was aware and then all of a sudden I turned the corner. Things became hazy, tacos sounded inviting, and all inhibitions were lost. I could sing, loudly, much to the dismay of anyone around. Ugly hyena laughing was all part of the game, although still I have no clue what was funny. Maybe my friends will remember... Luckily there was a team member that knew when enough was enough. A generous thanks to my husband for reeling me in after my incoherent nodding that I wanted to go home. The taxi was hailed, the tacos were bought, away we went . And today--- I must pay~

Playa Del Carmen

Have been in Playa for a week now-- wrapping it up and getting ready to get home. It rained a few days while we were here which was not so great, but hey you can't control the weather. The rain made me contemplative. I longed for the sun after a few days and sure enough it made its way through.

Tequila Museum

Villa Toscana
Great house in Playcar Phase I, right on the beach. The location of this house could not have been any better, our back door looked to the beach. It was staffed with housekeeping on all weekdays and for any other service needed we used Playa Concierge.

Wonderful food. Nothing was bad here, in fact it was stellar. I would eat it twice on the same trip-- that's saying a lot for me.
