I’m back, bitches!

…And more exhausted than ever.

A night of debauchery in Key West, followed by three days at a gorgeous resort helping a bestie pull off the wedding of the year…

Followed by a 32-hour expedition to get home.

It’s amazing how in just three flight delays and a night in a sterile airport hotel, you can completely forget why your skin is sunkissed. All that remains is a set of angry bowels torturing you for what you put it through over the weekend.

Nevertheless, the wedding was absolutely beautiful. The weather was perfect, I got my boobs into my dress somehow, and our sweet bride was a saint compared to the bridezilla horror stories I’ve heard. Both of their families were a blast to drink with get to know, and for the first time in a decade, I managed to get what any Scotch Irish person knows is a tan, and any normal person would call “no longer quite so vampire-y looking.”

Wedding pics to come, but here’s a few of my favorites from our night in Key West…

We're in Miami, bitch! (And clothing is optional...)

"Gimme an awkward morning over any lonely night"

At least he's honest.

Spring Break ot 6 relived!

This is actually a pretty standard sighting down there. ... And I think I bought the same shades the next day.

Is there a "Stuff White People DO" site? Because this belongs on it. (Yes, that is an iPad... at the beach.)*

*I should probably mention that the dude with the iPad is B. Since you’re all making fun of him. He was very careful with his new toy… Look Ma, no sand!

YAY! Glad you had fun, my wedding weekend rocked as well, and I ALSO fit in my dress, always a plus :)

There was a girl in my high school who singlehandedly started a dress code because she wore a shirt like that. To school. In tenth grade. In Upstate NY.

And I used to not be able to tan either. Then I had kids. Now I can tan. WTF?

LiLu, I totally feel for B. Because I’d be on the beach with my iPad too. Blogging about it. “Hey y’all, so I’m on the beach, which my iPad, which is saran wrapped for protection…” It’s like it sucks our minds from us and makes us it’s slaves. Oh, Apple.

But I believe from what I saw the one time I ventured south to Key West, it was made for you honey. I bet you pwned in Key West.
