Dear Cancun Stadium, I'm really sorry about your bathroom...

The Fab Husband knows what he likes, and for him, music mostly stopped in the 80's. There's a few acceptions,most notably Amy Winehouse and Miguel Bose.

After 12 years together, I don't really have much choice in loving Miguel Bose, do I? It's not really that hard though, the guy is super eye candy, and he's still pretty much rocking out. Which was why I was so happy when I found out he was coming to Cancun for a concert.

It was actually a perfect evening, we checked into a only moderatly cheesy AI in Cancun, had a few drinks, ate dinner, and met Fab's cousin, Nancy, for the concert. I should have known there would be something that would go wildly wrong, since, when entering the stadium, a purse search turned up a camera that I didn't even know I had with me. They originally didn't want to let me in at all, but, well, we all know how persuasive the Fabster can be when he wants to be.

Basically, what that meant was that he was now responsible for the beer tab for us, Cousin Nancy, and two security guards.

The concert took place at the brand new stadium where Cancun's brand new futbol/soccer team plays. The concert was superb. There was the perfect blend of his old stuff and his new material (which, don't tell anyone else, but I actually like better!)

Anyhow, great concert aside, there's no negating the call of nature, especially if you've been guzzling beer for the past two hours. Cousin Nancy, who, poor thing, had been plied with unacustomed booze for the past two hours, entered the large (and suprisingly clean) staduim bathroom with me.

This is a giant bathroom with two sections of probably about 20 stalls on each side. When I attempted to flush, the entire metal mechanism of the industrial toilet literally fell off and landed on the floor with a loud clank.

A huge fountain, of thankfully clean water came shooting up out of the hole, taller than the actual stall wall, and doused the entire left side of my body.

I ran screaching out of the stall, where Nancy is washing her hands. I'm wild eyed, wet, and screaching at her for help. Girlfriend looks at me deadfaced, and literally says,"Do I know you?"

We both go running out of the now flooding bathroom, dodging women who are now trying to ford what amounts to an open firehose. As we gathered up Fabs, and ran away, I looked back and saw the water running out under the door.

I'm really sorry about your bathroom, Cancun, I swear!

Ive heard of people dropping their basket, and losing their basket, but what happens if someone steals it?

The (somewhat) rainy season is upon us, which really only means that I no longer have to water my grass and postage-stamp size garden daily. Now I have to do it every other day. On a positive note, the rain we've had so far hasn't created "Lake Fabs" in the potholes in front of our house, as it generally does.

Another interesting developement of the rain, is that the laundry mat around the corner stole my basket.

Generally speaking, I'm a fairly reliable person. I go to bed at a reasonable hour, try to eat green leafy veggies, drink lots of water, and not trash-talk to many people. It's a pretty stable, yet fun life.

Which is why it's been so weird that it's all gone completely off kilter since Wednesday. The Fab man's favorite cousin, who was only 46 years old, slipped into a coma and wasn't expected to make it. After long discussions and heart to hearts, the adorable husband opted NOT to go to Mexico City and say goodbye.

So this morning I packed up the husband and sent him off to Mexico City for a 10 day visit with his family. I’m actually rather proud of this decision on my part, since I highly encouraged this visit. My Mother in law had been making “I want to come and visit you” sounds for some time, and I could feel the weight of an impending arrival.

I’m not going to delve into the depths of my relationship with the MIL, since translation programs have come such a long way, but safe to say after 10 years, she and I have reached an uneasy agreement. Ironically enough, our big issue is that we both love the Fabster so much. He’s her (self admitted) favorite son and, well, he’s my only husband. So we tug o’ war over him when we’re together.

Why in Mexico do they have a word for puppies, cachoro, but no word for kitten? you have to use little cat, or gatito?

Why are Halls cough drops considered candy here, and not the medicine for a sore throat they are in the States?

Why here do they play "Crazy 7s?"

Me: Honey, do you want some of this soda?

Adorable husband: No, I can't drink that stuff! It's got too much gas in it and makes me bark.

Today is Mexican Independence Day! Viva Mexico! Although the parade and the official holiday is today, all the fun took place last night.

This is one of my very favorite holidays here in Cozumel. First of all, all the streets around the town hall are blocked off, and open to pedestrians and you get to be naughty and walk in the middle of the street.
