Don't rain on my honeymoon

I was just at the bookstore eagerly looking for travel books for our impending honeymoon to Belize. As I was thumbing through Lonely Planet's guide, a local hippie said "Are you going to Belize?" Being still in honeymoon bliss, I happily answered with love in my eyes, "Yes. In two days."
He replied, "I went with my family [read: ragamuffin children and equally hippie, bra-less wife] last year. It's amazing. Where are you staying?"
"Francis Ford-Coppola's resorts in the mountains and in Placencia, then in Belize City for a couple of nights."
"Why are you staying in Belize city? I totally wrote that place off. There's nothing there. You should really keep to the reefs and cayes. That's much more adventerous."
"Well, it's our honeymoon so - "
"Be prepared to get really muddy and bitten by mosquitoes, you know that's where the Mosquito Coast was filmed, right? We were totally exhausted, I mean wiped out at the end of everyday. So if you're not ready for that you'll have an awful time."
"You know what? I don't need your negativity right now. Thanks."
And Scene.

Why do people feel the need to offer negative, unsolicited advice? WTF? Hello? REmember when I said "honeymoon?" I hope I ruined his day.
Note to self: do not go to Barnes & Noble in Boulder during the day. Too many disgruntled Dads.

That's Mrs. Crazy Virgo to you

I know you've been staring into your morning bowl of cereal wondering what's missing in your life for weeks now. It's my fault, really. I've been a little busy, moonlighting on another blog.

Yes, I'M MARRIED.

Gentleman Lover and I got hitched by our dear friend in beautiful Orcas Island, Washington. We had cookies delivered hot and fresh by our dear friend Bite My Cookie and her new cookie business. We had a salmon burger picnic, drank approximately 1100 beers, had an impromptu robe party after the rehearsal dinner, saw two bald eagles, ate so much delicious food, took in all the gorgeous natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, and got married under the ever present raindrops of coastal Washington. After 8 years together we're legit. We're headed out to Belize for the next two weeks, so I'll report back.
Here's a taste of what has been the greatest weekend of my life so far.
