This Blog: Where Then, Now, & Next Steps Meet

Hola Campers Happy New Year!! I know I'm late on the year end wrap up but if you had as many issues as I do you might be a tad bit slow on the draw as well. So here it goes...

We started 2011 with a bang - literally, with fireworks in Sweden! But then we were forced to leave our fair Europe because I got so sick because I was being victimized by killer mold. So we relocated to Mexico but not without 1st getting robbed by a Spanish airline. However because of your help and my persistence we got our money back!!! And all along the way we saw plenty of sites that year as we had the years prior. We even had time to slip over to Belize for a long weekend. Although I gotta admit once you've seen 1 ancient Mayan ruin you've pretty much seen them all, I honestly could barely tell them apart - I had to look at the dates of the pictures. But they are amazing as are the beaches in both Cancun and Belize.


And as you know because I'm one of these chicks who has mad opinions and I love to give them, I had an astronomical amount of run-ins with Fakebook STRANGers who chose to attempt to belittle or attack me over the most asinine things ranging from: politics to how I celebrate my life or attempt to cyber-fuck me or just because they're bitter people who read my comments or the tag lines for my one of my blogs and got offended.

                                                    The Asshole Wall of Fuck Them


I also learned how to deal with a bunch of different kinds of varmints and immediately I evolved from prey to predator, murderizing EVERYTHING in my Grim Reaperish wake. I put in some good work on a scorpion, a couple fugly spiders, a kajillion and one mosquitoes, mice, monsters ("wittle" lizards), geckoes, and I'm sure you remember the Mexican chicken killer i.e. the fugly (but family says tasty) Tlacuache - as well as a bunch of "things" I dare not mention for fear that you Campers might start to think I could possibly become a serial killer - although I'll give you a couple hints: There was about 30 of them that probably used to live in my house before I moved in and they were violent and quite feral. And I even learned how to slaughter my own food.

But on a brighter note I did allow an iguana to live and I caught about 10 frogs and believe you me, they all lived to see many more days!

And upon relocating to Cancun I became a naturalist/minimalist growing my own vegetables, raising chickens, and selling their eggs at the mercado.

And no good camp out would be worth a squat without me and mi Pápí favorite pastime: indulging in our love of the wonderful flavors of the native food and cocktails.

I also FINALLY completed and published my 1st novel "No Love Lost" in the forthcoming series "Bitches from the Burbs" and becoming the worst selling author of all times - regardless of the great reviews. (Yeah that's a link to buy it on Amazon for Kindle Download)

So after a great year of interesting sites, honing my survival skills, engaging in wicked treachery and fighting evil I learned this: I still adore traveling more than anything, Black mold will kill ya, Mexico could give a fuck about its workforce, some people are just vile for no reason at all, home is where your heart is, my dad is very ill and that I, your counselor needed to quit Fakebooking for fear of blowing my mind up (But please click "Like" on my Carlita's Camp page on Facebook so that you'll know when my new blogs are up, because sooner than later I'm deleting my profile).

As for my plans for the near and dear future - well Campers another relocation is afoot (I'll keep you posted - remember this is a mobile camp). So stay tuned because there's more where this came from, including new adventures, more CRA, new Chronic History Tales and YES another not so smash book or maybe even 2.

So until our next camp out buy my book
"No Love Lost" enjoy the wine and trees and remember the fire's always burning here at Carlita's Camp! Happy New Year Campers and please make it your best year EVER!

      Thank You Brotherr for reading! I won't be far from FB I just won't be a part of things where anger permeates and bad attitudes fester. I really need some positive reinforcement and closing my profile is only step 1. I think I'm gonna get a cell phone and start Tweeting in a couple of weeks. LOL Happy New Year and much love to you too!!!
