on needing a wealthy benefactor

So last night a friend of mine called an impromptu Ladies' Night (the proper punctualization of that phrase really stresses me out. Feel free to correct me if I botched it). I mean, tell me-- is there anything more exciting in life than a Monday night text that says "margaritas tomorrow at 8 at ___?" (If your answer is "yes," then...well, good for you. Hope you enjoy your super fab life.) Unfortunately, I did not take any pictures. I was too busy laughing and actually having fun. Imagine that.

But as I was enjoying my mojito (because I'm a rebel like that and drink mojitos on Margarita Night), I had flashbacks to another wonderful and fun and delicious moment in time:

Our vacation last summer. Sigh.

Why can't I just live on vacation? WHY!??!! Why is life so unfair??!! I mean, this picture is perfection. Granted, it's not a mojito (I believe this drink was called the Bob Marley)...I had to switch things up some times...but oh man this picture makes me feel happy. Tan legs. Frosty drink. Kindle (in its lifesaving AND cost-effective "waterproof case" (Ziplock bag)). A pool. Neon nailpolish. 

I need another vacation.

Which brings me to my final point (as though there were other points before this...): I need a wealthy benefactor. Or a genie. Or something/someone along those lines.

In addition to all-inclusive vacations, here are the things I currently "need" my benefactor/genie to fund:  A pair of colored jeans (mustard or plum, I'm thinking). A manicure. New workout clothes (I've decided most of mine are totally uncool and not flattering). New running shoes (preferably the trendy ones with neon/bright colors). A haircut. The Naked palette (I have been wanting it for over 6 months, which qualifies it as a need now). A non-Ziplock case for my Kindle.

In other words, hardly anything at all. Clearly I am not a materialistic or selfish person at all.

But seriously. I'd settle for just another vacation. 

The End.

(PS. Relatedly, is anyone else loving this season of Modern Family as much as me?? I mean, I get a ridiculous perma-smile every time I think about that show. LOVE IT.)

(PPS. Speaking of TV-- WALKING DEAD SEASON PREMIERE???! OMG.)

(PPPS. My gym is sponsoring a ZOMBIE ZUMBA night on Friday in downtown Winder-- how fun is that??!! Doing Zumba while dressed up like a Zombie? Could you possibly combine the loves of my life any more perfectly? The answer is yes: Zombie Zumba could take place on a beach.)
