Parasailing in Cabo San Lucas

This weekend, I started off 2011 by going on vacation. My friend, Siobhan, wanted to celebrate her 30th Birthday in the warm, tropical Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. I have never vacationed in “off months”, but I think it is a trend that I will continue. The weather was high 70‘s during the day. While on vacation, I decided to check off another item from my Bucket List; parasailing.

The experience was so awesome that words do it no justice. I think I was a bird in my former life. I don’t consider myself adventurous, in the least, but being in the air gives me a natural high. I parasailed across the beaches in Cabo and even though the moment was 10-12 minutes in the air, it was one that I will forever cherish and remember for a lifetime.

Hopefully, I can encourage you to try parasailing. I promise you won’t regret it.

No more Superstitions

I grew up in the South, so every new year I stuff my face and my gut with collard greens and hoppin John. Together, I believed this meal would bring me money and good luck. Now, I want to preface by saying, that I am not complaining, but I just think that as much as I ate collard greens, I should be able to afford an iMac computer. You get my drift?

So for 2010, I decided to do things opposite as I have done in the past. I wanted to prove that I don’t believe in Superstitions and instead rely on my faith in God. Therefore, I rang in my new year, at home, alone. No friends, no family, no champagne. My house was not as clean as it should have been, I had week-old sheets on my bed, clothes not hung up, floors not mopped or vacuumed. In addition, my car was not filled with gas and my Christmas tree and decorations were still up.

It was a struggle to not do as I have been accustomed the past 29 years, but I am on a mission to prove a point. So stay with me. However, as hard as I tried not to continue my superstitious ways, there was one tradition that I just couldn’t afford to gamble with. And that is wearing red underwear to bring me love in the new year.

I have even contemplated wearing red underwear the entire month of January and February, just to ensure “I win in 2010”.
