“Make It Ryan!” @ryanmeili

Ryan’s the master of puns but “Make it Ryan” instead of “Make it Rain” works pretty well too, especially after you manage to win a couple hundred bucks in the 50/50 draw at a Steak Night fundraiser! Now I can make another donation to Ryan’s campaign *and* pay for all my drinks at the all-inclusive […]

Music Monday – “Remember me/Don’t let it make you cry/For even if I’m far away/I hold you in my heart/I sing a secret song to you each night we are apart” #ThePalaceLife

One week until we go to Mexico and the preparations are heating up (you’d think staying for two weeks instead of one simply means you pack twice as many bathing suits but unfortunately, that’s not the case!) Plus we’ve got a busy week ahead of us with a variety of appointments, meetings (though I found […]

Music Monday – “Border guards they waved us through/’Andele ninos’ they cried/Love was a Mexican pony/You and I would ride”

Happy (legal) wedding anniversary one day early, Shea! I look forward to celebrating our (ceremonial) wedding anniversary with you in a month in Mexico and then our reception/party wedding anniversary later this summer! This song has a lot of religious imagery and considering we specifically requested a non-religious officiate who only slipped up once at […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Mexican Beach Wedding (February 2003) #ThePalaceLife

So, for “family movie night” last weekend, Shea and I decided to hook up the video camera we bought back ~2002 but have rarely used lately (“Hey kids, that big boxy thing is what an iPhone used to look like!”) to show the kids our wedding video from Mexico in 2003. Pace watched about five […]

Music Monday – “Well I kept right on driving/Until I hit the ocean/Found a small cantina down on Monterrey Way/I met up with a girl down there but she did not speak the English/I probably coulda had her too, but all I knew how to say was/Una mas cerveza por favor senorita” #ThePalaceLife

Watching lots of videos of our resort and someone used this song as the background for one of their videos… “Una Mas Cerveza” – Tommy Alverson

Friday Fun Link – 24 Glorious Ways To Drink More Tequila #ThePalaceLife

I’ve never been a big fan of tequila. In fact, Shea and I have a bottle we brought back from one of our earliest Mexico trips around fifteen years ago that we had never cracked. Never cracked, that is, until, after a summer that ended with a bunch of tequila shots plus knowing we were […]
