just a tiny note...

How great is this card my Auntie Noni sent me?!  Love it! 

Hello Friends, 

I just wanted to mention one small thing: 

I connected my Instagram and Facebook accounts!  Finally, right?! 

I know some of you wanted to see the Instagram pics and couldn't...maybe this will solve the problem? 

When I'm at work (and sheesh, even when I'm at home!) I use Instagram as a microblog. It's just fun and easy and I don't need as much patience with the sluggish Internet. 

Hope this helps Historiauntie! 

xo, 

Megan

Nautie Notes :: The Mexico Edition

 

Dear Tuxpan Mexico,

You were quite picturesque.  The palm trees, the guava trees, sheesh....just all the lush green foliage gave me a pang of homesickness.  So lovely you were - so lovely.

Dear Mexican Customs,

It was absolutlely thrilling to watch the ship get searched from top to bottom by sniffer dogs.  I mean that.  I have never seen a shipboard dog search before!  Thanks for allowing me to check off another box!

Dear Mexican Tug Boat Operator,

The way you decided to use your own ratty-assed hawser vice the beautiful wires designed for towing the buoy really surprised me.  I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.  I mean that.  Because Buddy, you're going to need luck.

Dear Mexican Operations Team,

Thank you, thank you, thank you for that amazing fruit basket.  Amazing is too generic a word for the amount of awesome that basket contained!  (Nautie Friends, fear not...you'll be seeing photos of the fruit....obviously....)

Dear Mexican Offshore Buoy Number One,

I'll miss looking at you sitting on the deck.  You were so big - and colorful - and impressive.  We liked you around here.  I'm quite certain that you'll have a nice new home.  All the best my friend, all the best.

Nautie Notes. The Original One.

Dear Charterers,

Can you please tell us where we're going?  Pretty please?  This whole not knowing business is really cramping my style.  Thank you.

Dear Bose Dock,

When I plug my iPod in and crank you up you rock my world.  It makes sitting at my desk answering work related emails so much more fun.  I especially love your handy dandy remote.  That way when Ke$ha comes on I can really rock out.

Dear Saucony Sneakers,

The way you started to fall apart after not too much wear is lame.  I liked you.  I mean, I really liked you.  Then, out of the blue, the liners started scrunching up under my feet.  What the eff?  Not cool.

Dear Tiki Drawer,

I love this little piece of art.  It will for sure go into my treasured keepsakes pile.  The fact that this Tiki has shell casing eyebrows makes him so much cooler.

Dear Baisey,

Spray tans, cowboy boots and fairy houses.  I love notes from you.  Keep them boys dancing!  Kitchen dancing is a skill every young man should master.

Dear Nautie Friends,

I don't think I have said this enough.  I really love you.  I mean I really and truly love you all.  Thanks for checking in and leaving comments, thanks for reading my book suggestions, thanks for hating pirates with me. 

Dear Self,

Try not to be too snappish.  This isn't an Ally McBeal episode...people don't actually like snappish co-workers.  Also, don't forget to do laundry before the next port or you won't have any clean socks.

Inspiration for this post was found at Lemons, Avocados and The Bay.  (Thanks for the good idea....love your new outfit....)
