Treats



Just a brief update before I have to get back homework. Pick Your Plum is so worth it! I recieved my chalkboard vinyl today and I could not be more pleased! They also sent me a little "treat" to make me laugh. ;) It would be well worth your time to check out their site here.

(Also soon to come... see how I transform a pair of chairs and an old rickety dresser...)

That's the way of it

Please forgive me for not updating. It's been a whirlwind. School, selling a shaved ice stand, family, stress, church, and just a whole roller coaster of emotions. So that is my excuse. :P

This time of year... I always keep the travel bug. I am a travel fiend. I like to be on the move, I like seeing new and/or exotic places. I've taken a few treks in the United States in the past few years. But the last over seas trip I had was to visit family in Thailand a few years ago. We actually made it home about a week before the Bangkok airport was shut down due to a political sit-in. But I miss Thailand... it's an incredible place to visit. I just want to share a few pictures.



The food was amazing. This last picture is of some ladies outside our hotel making roti. We visited them everyday. It's like an elasticy fry bread thingie drizzled with sweeten condensed milk, or with bananas inside, or even with an egg fried in it. I crave them to this day. It was like... a dollar for three. YEAH!

Elephants are my favorite creatures ever. ^-^


The temples (wat) were incredible. Beautiful and amazing. And if you have the right tour guide (ie, my Uncle) then they'll tell you a lot of stories associated with them all.

Old ruins in any civilization are awesome. This was no different. Incredible. Just incredible.
