"Another shitty day in paradise"


The palms trees are swaying and the sun is cascading on the balcony. I awake to a slight hint of sunshine every morning as a breath of fresh air lingers between the sheets. This is my first vacation with Payton.


There is a little taste of salsa on my tongue.

I can't recall what time it is, if it wasn't Christmas Eve I wouldn't be able to tell you the date either. I love these carefree days.

Shopping has been on the to-do list for the past couple of days we've been here. All the stores carry the same trinkets, necklaces, shot glasses, pottery - so it only comes down to bargaining when buying. I can talk my way into lowering a 30 usd ring to half it's price - possibly it's real worth. Yet I haven't snatched any goods. Even on vacation I still have this money conserving idea going on in my head.

The parents are on a walk, the boys are indulging in a game of Halo 3, and I sit - still out of words - at the lap top writing a well deserved blog.

Sincerely,
Kyla
