THAILAND!

Sitting in my cold apartment, it is hard to believe that just a few weeks ago I was laying out in a bathing suit on the beaches of Thailand. Oh well. Here are a few pictures from my fantasy trip. It was awesome and I am so glad I went. It was worth every penny. It was great to be with Haley and meet some of her new friends. We spent a lot of time laying out, drinking fruit shakes, reading on the beach, eating awesome Thai food, and just hanging out. It was truly a vacation - no agendas, no alarm clocks, and as much as I love it NO SIGHTSEEING!!
One of the most fun things I did in Thailand was learn how to play "flamingo football" Essentially it is a game of girls vs. boys in tackle football. But the catch is that the boys' legs are wrapped together in towels and then duck taped. So they have to hop around the whole game. It definitely levels the playing field, but doesn't make it as easy as you may think. They are still hard to push over, and can somehow get around pretty quick. Every time they would throw it off (obviously they can't kick-off) I would just start laughing. It was like something out of a movie, watching all the boys start madly hoping towards us!

Checklist

I love lists.

I have lists all over the place. Shopping lists, checklists, packing list, expense list, student list, etc. I live off of lists and sometimes wonder if I would know what needs to be done, if it were not for my lists. My favorite kind of list is a checklist! Every weekend, I make a list of things that need to be done at home - laundry, grocery store, cleaning; changing sheets, school work, BS, MR, ER (don't you love all the acronyms!) And often times I will add something to the list, after I have completed it, just to check it off! I love the feeling of completing a list, and tonight I checked off something that has been on my list for over a month now. MY UPDATED RESUME! It has been lingering over me for far too long and it feels wonderful to finally have it complete and ready to send to people. Whew...it feels like a great accomplishment. And accomplishment my friends is a nice feeling!

What about you? No matter how big or small, what have you accomplished this week?


And just because a blog isn't much fun without pictures, here is one from a few weeks ago. Some girlfriends and I went out dancing and to sing karaoke! YAHOO!
