Heyyy So if you ate that bug I think I would have puked......
I have your sweatshirt on that you left at my house 3 years ago...Thanks its comfy
You must be excited for the last week of your trip to be able to relax... Get some sun for me there hasnt been much of it here....
I sent you an email the other day and I sent it to Cop by accident
haha..... Alright stay safe Miss Ya..... Love Andrea
Hey there; I'm so glad your trip is almost over. I really enjoyed
reading your blog but I still can't see how you and your friends
can stand it. Really looking forward to your homecoming. So you
really can't wait for school to begin? then you must be homesick.
I won't be here when you get back as I will be down the Cape.
As soon as I get home I promise to make you some Artichokes.
Take care and stay safe.
mystery writer Kristen, You know it can't be me since I havn't been able to get off my recliner for the last month. Feeling sorry for myself, you bet I am. Miss talking to you about baseball. Marie
Here comes the sun! I'm glad to hear your spirits have lightened. BTW I love your metephor of being caught on a barbed wire.. I'll be sure to keep it in mind as I am writing with Lucy this weekend. Next time you see me I will be an Ivy League graduate.
As hard as it may be try not to think about school. There is plenty of time to organize your classroom and plan for the year ahead. Be thankful that at least you have a classroom to set up, as I will have only a sad rolling cart to decorate.
I am looking forward to hearing tales from the islands. Watch out for fins in the water!
Chin and spirits up! Hey you! I was panicked leaving the house today in case I missed your call. But realizing you have called only one time in 4+ weeks I wasn't staying home either. ha! Glad you are in a better frame of mind and you will be home in less then 2 weeks now. Loved this blog and the latest pictures. And just remember who has responded to every last blog with a paragraph. :) Rob thanks you for the birthday wishes although the sound of you not becoming a Buddhist is what really had him shaking his head in the yes position. Thank you for thinking of him and your kind words, I think he blushed...a little. He was eating Doritos so we are well stocked and we got Dino's at BJ's yesterday. You are all set. Any other requests??? I don't think I want the aftermath of your first American foods in my house though. haa! And to answer your other blog q's -- Jaclyn sang the whole alphabet in the car ride earlier - counting to 12 when climbing steps and colors are somewhat successful - she knows my toenails are pink!?!? Ok, miss and love you - keep the blogs coming!!
Hello.Kristin ..I forgot to tell you how much I enjoyed you laying down in front of the bus in a foreign country or any country for that matter...Hope none of your back-packing friends decided to do the same thing when the cameras were off.......That is every mothers dream....Love You....continuing for all... Hail Mary full of Grace etc.
Kristin,
What are you crazy?? Thinking I may want to go to Peru or Gualtema!! Don't you remember what it took for me to fly to Boston? If you wanted to go on a normal vacation maybe then I would think about it, Murph is doing OK. She goes back to the drs. on 8/18. Of course, she is totally bored. I go up once a week or so to sit with her. Went up yesterday and we watched reruns of "I Love Lucy". Laughed our you know whats off. Be safe and careful. God Bless! Love ya, Carol
Please tell me it's fake! Kristin, Is that bug real? Do you see those flying around? Oh my god, I don't know how you are able to handle this! I am shocked by that....so I missed you the other day at Coldplay. It was a good show and we thought about you and talked about u. I am going to the Pat's pre-season game tonight with my dad and cousins, and it is supposed to severely storm and rain. You are not missing any good weahter here. It has been horrible. Miss you lots Move in 5 days! Be safe. Nic
I love reading your blogs. You continue to make me laugh!!!! Believe it or not, but I am looking forward to getting back to the classroom as well. I've been home most of the summer with teenagers so I'm sure you know what I mean. My new addition (13 week old golden) has been quite the challenge. She now goes to training and she is not the problem. It is her owners!! Bob and I try to be stern, but she's so cute it is hard to not laugh at her. Can't wait for you to see her again.
On a different note I got contacts for the first time and I needed them so I wouldn't have to wear glasses for my upcoming vacation to Bermuda and for our family picture. But as you can guess I had lots of trouble getting one of them out last night. It was either to the emergency ward or to continue to try with the help of a neighbor. Needless to say I won't be able to use them for my family picture or vacation since my eye is a mess. I scratched it badly and I look horrible!!!! Miss you so much!!!
Love, Cheryl
Hey hey Can't say that I'm rushing towards school as enthusiastically as you...wouldn't mind if summer lasted a few extra weeks....BUT I know once I get back in the swing of things, I will share your excitement.
Went to Salem the other day and had our Tarot done...wished you were there with us. Said I should write a book...interesting, huh?
Thanks for the anniversary wishes. We just went for dinner...we figured the cruise was enough of a celebration! ;)
I love your pictures (minus the grossly enormous bug). I'm noticing that you are trying to be more of a creative photographer.
I looked up some info of classes and stuff, so we can talk about it when you get back.
Only a few more weeks!
Clik clik Your photo skills are better and better. Remember to look at your backgrounds as well as what you are shooting. Your doing an amazing job. So.. what does an Elephant smell like? Oh and can you get me 8 umbrellas? You can just carry them for the next 2 weeks, right? :) (KIDDING!) - Eric
I'm thoroughly enthralled by your travels and blogs! I just haven't left comments because I know your time at internet cafes is precious. Keep them coming! I'm so impressed and envious of all your travels - even when they are not glamorous.
What about ping pong?? I've been waiting and waiting, have you learned how to play it yet? That was the class you were supposed to teach for us when we got back to school.... I already bought ping pongs, darts, balloons, and a really nice pen!!!! love and miss you! Sharon
Homesick!?!?!? It will only last a day or 2. Remember....
Eat all the foods you've loved, you'll crave them once you can no longer have them.
Take in all the smells, they are the things that can NEVER be duplicated.
Breathe the people, when you get home no one will understand where you've been, who you've met and what your eyes have seen much less be interested in all the little details of your life in the way that the thai people are. They make you feel really interesting. (not that you're boring, but you know what i mean. To them you're an anomilie(sp))
And most of all... I'll be there soon and everything will be ok.
BTW, am I meeting up with you guys? Where are you headed? I have no guide book, instructions would be helpful. I'm sure I'll manage but really, help a president out! At least tell me the name of the island!
I miss you Hello K-Ho
I just read both blogs, I am glad I got this one after I read the one for yesterday. Hang in there, you are almost done. You will look about at this in 30 yrs and think, what a great trip. And think of all of the information you will have for your students. I miss you, have safe travels!
I am off to NYC for the weekend, nothing compared to SEA.
Debbie Rain and clouds! That stinks. Hope is turns around soon. Don't you worry, we are heading off to the islands and hopefully there will be some waterfall I can dive into and then the fun will really begin. Hope all is well with you. See you VERY soon.
