Um, don’t be mad.  I still haven’t uploaded pictures.  I’m too freaking tired!  Jet lag freaking sucks, let me just tell you what!  Matt uploaded some on Facebook, so if you’re my friend (and ps, if you’re not, por que?) you can see some of the good ones there.  Especially of note is the one of my Dad and I on a bus, wearing Chinese Army winter hats . . . and my Dad is flipping off the camera.  Best.  Picture.  Ever.

Wanna know what else sucks?  Going back to work after two weeks of being served breakfast on the balcony, shopping for amazing, cheap finds, and seeing some of the world’s most amazingest sights.  Yup, totally sucks.  I have no motivation and require lots of cookies and Diet Coke to function.

Cleaning the house after two weeks away and four suitcases worth of crap also sucks.  Like, a lot.  There was a lot of dust and mucho laundry.  Ugh.  Also, toilets.  When I’m rich, I’m never cleaning another toilet again.  Mark my words.

Also, pre-term labor sucks.  My bestest gal in Arizona, JoAnne,  is about 31 weeks preg and has been having contractions on and off for like a week.  The doctor told her if she doesn’t cook that baby girl for at least three more weeks, she’ll be riding the short bus.  I died laughing when JoAnne told me the doctor actually said that, but it’s not really a funny situation, so now I’m making Jo my service project and making her stay down by feeding her and playing with Alli, the two year old wonder-gal.  It’s keeping me very busy but it’s also tons of fun.  I’m also planning JoAnne’s baby shower which I’m LOVING.  It’s going to be SO FUN.  Invitations go out tomorrow morning and I’m mucho proud of myself, if I am allowed to pat meself on the back (which I am).  I’ll upload the pictures whenever I get around to . . . you know, uploading stuff.

There are some other things happening that suck, like the economy.  And the housing market.  And the size of my thighs.  Sigh.  This too shall pass, no?  Well, maybe not the size of my thighs (stupid hereditary thunder thighs), but the other stuff.  Luckily (knock on wood) Matt’s job is very stable and mine seems to be as well.  Good thing because I have a brand spankin’ new washer and dryer that need paying for!  Sheesh!  (Remind me at some point I’ll tell you the story of the exploding washing machine and how Matt and I thought we could fix it ourselves.  THAT was a fun day.)

I guess I should leave this post on a positive note and mention something that DOESN’T suck.  Brandon Flowers.  That’s who doesn’t suck . . . and neither does The Killers two new singles.  Those things don’t suck one teensy tinsey little bit. 

PS - This is my 501st post!  HOLY CRAP!  Seriously!  That’s a lot of written crap!  I’m surprised I have any readers left!!  Kisses to those of you who stuck around this long!  Mwah!
