A few month's earlier I said to my bff "let's go to Mexico!" and she said "okay!". I love her. My go to Mexican paradise is a little surf town 40 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta, and when we got there I was in a great mood. I had been working out and I was spray-tanned and beach ready. With 10 whole days ahead of us, and zero obligations I was relaxed. Aaah Mexico. Yes folks it's scary down there...stay far far away! Drug cartels, etc.
My birthday was on Sunday but the celebration started Saturday around noon and went late into the night peaking at midnight which we all know is the 'official' kick-off birthday hour. Around midnight I found myself atop the shoulders of a 24 year old at the local live music spot -drinking shots of tequila of course. It was one of those nights where the mood of the crowd was just 'on'. The band was awesome, despite their failed first attempt at my birthday 'shout-out'. I say failed because they called out my name as I was in the ladies room having a pee. The ladies room is quite practically on the stage, so I opened the door to let them know, "hey, um I'm in the bathroom!". Oops, try again!
Anyway, I was in Mexico, celebrating my 40th. My birthday is just a few days before Christmas. Trust me when I say that leaving town for the holidays is one of the many many perks of being in your 40's. Holiday blues? I've got the cure. So this was my time to really let loose and let the inhibitions fly because it's exhausting being in control all of the time - I can be kind of uptight. My friends would say I’m ‘fun’ but I have some control issues and it's not always easy for me to 'let go'. So me grinding on the dance floor with a 24 year old whilst doing shots of tequila is NOT the norm for me. Also, it had been TWO YEARS since I'd so much as kissed a man. But here I was a blonde in Mexico - so there was trouble to get in to for sure! But don’t worry, I did not 'do it' with a 24 year old. Please, I could be his mother!
