Weekend in Mexico

Thursday night I listened to the RTZ Album i recently got while i packed my bag. I didn't have to take much- i was only going to be away for the weekend. I like packing in private with my door shut, the lights off and only my closet door cracked open a bit with that light on. I started to pack as soon as i had my shower and then i stood in front of my closet to see what i could take with me. It was hot in Mexico, i was almost certain so i didn't want to take all jeans even though God knows i find them way more comfortable. I took whatever was really necessary, but then found myself emptying the bathroom of all of the things i normally use. I charged both my cell and ipod.
I got up at 5a.m. the next day and once we were all in the car, i popped on my headphones and then i was out like a log. I didn't even know which songs i was listening to anymore except for the ocassional time where i opened my eyes and caught a little phrase here and there from a Foreigner song or Journey. The Steve Perry Tracks make me feel comforted...Ah...his albums are so amazing. I'm lucky enough to have his albums too.

I was happy to see my grandmother again. The heat hit my face hard once out of the car but the smell in the air was familiar and comfy. I dropped my bag on the ground and hugged my grandma tightly. Then Danny came, then Sebastian, then Jorge, then my Grandpa and all of a sudden i was being bombarded for hugs and kisses on my forehead.
In all honesty, i was scared to even go to Mexico. The situation there is terrible. There are shootings on a regular basis in public places like where people flock and gather...at the grocery store, at the park, at the malls. I was already picturing myself in a body bag. I know, extreme but when i say things are terrible, i kid you not. Thank Goodness that everything was calm and i was able to enjoy my weekend. I got to spend time with everyone- including my paternal grandparents (whom i don't mention as often) but it was awsome to see them too. During Ximena's First Communion Celebration at the Casino i walked in and was immediately being called from across the room.
"Kenet!!!!!!!!!!!!! come here gorgeous and let me look at you..."
I was too busy searching for food because the heat was crazy and i hadn't had anything to eat all day. I tried to balance the togetherness with both families and for one weekend it wasn't easy. I like being with my maternal grandparents the most. I just love it there with them and last year during the summer when i spent almost a month on my own with them was one of the best times i had.
I had to miss work this weekend to do and i didn't want to, i thought it would seriously cost me my job. I called Debbie a day before and she said there wouldn't be a problem as long as my attendence was good- and it is...but it still worries me a little. She said they might ask me when i go back Tuesday why i didn' go but ah, i hope not.

We got home around 7:00 tonight and i didn't have that much to unpack. I don't have to go to work tomorrow so that relieves me a little.
Got in touch with Brett tonight and he e-mails me and tells me:

"WE are getting Kenet.....Boston WITH BRAD DELP.....LIVE in concert not ONE TIME....NOT TWO TIMES...NOT THREE TIMES....NOT FOUR TIMES....NOT EVEN FIVE TIMES....but SIX TIMES LIVE IN CONCERT on SIX different occasions"

Holy God, i almost peed in my pants. He says he should get them tomorrow and that they are great. He's going to e-mail me and send it all over. He's excited. Anything with Delp on it just blows my mind.
I already have some Journey stuff Live that he's bought and shared with me. I prefer studio quality but God, who can resist Journey Live right? It's all so good!

Can't wait to hear all this awsome live Boston stuff =)
Shall be Good.
