on the airport floor of taiwan...trying to sleep
layover in between a fourteen hour flight and the next five hour stint...hello time warp

sleeper ferry...before it filled up...u ferry all night

ferry took us here ...then take a taxi to a bus to a ferry to the island

our favorite "bartender" best fruit smoothies ever...and cutest girlcrush...kwang...she even gave us earrings...i miss her

sunset on koh tao...no photoshop...just that pretty

i called these tub boats..just little fiber glass tubs they paddled around everywhere in

a split magicians assistant me...in some market mid jungle after elaphant trekking...dont worry that my elephant 'driver' was sloshed at ten in the morning and practically dragging me off the elephant

in thailand heres the update:

we fall asleep at 7 every night and wake up at 2 in the morning with nothing to do but watch weird foriegn tv and eat 711 food
its kinda like being in hot yogo ...but all the time...dont worry mom i havent fainted yet but anything with sleeves just ain't happenin
there has been monkey holding elaphant riding plane friend making (in a safe non taken way) beach laying beach eating (corn on the cob!!! start selling it in america on the beach with nothin but salt and you will be a billionare!)
we constantly get ripped off...something about three white girls yells sucker...but its still pretty cheap and we are moving to koh tao tommorow so should get better we turned into hippies in abt two mintutes flat and just took our first shower....mind you after being on an 18 hr plane ride two hour bus ride night in bangkok and two hour ferry and two days on the beach...yup

on the other side

man i should have posted pics of grass on the 20th..oh well...here is my grass...

i have been growing it...and it jumps up taller every time i am not looking, this is one nights difference...i am very proud...they have pots of self growing stuff in the dollar section at target...the dollar section that costs me ten dollars every time...you get a little teeny pot, seeds and these cool dirt pellets all for one buck...so obviously i bought like 5...and a pack of wild flowers(on my return visit along with basil chives and oregano...oops)...you should go buy some...they make a good visiting teaching present too...britt we should probly do ours...my fault i know... my room is gonna be a jungle...and if grass growing isn't blog worthy i don't know what is ...

and if you think this is boring then you obviously hate the earth and in that case you shouldn't be reading my blog...earth hater...

i cant help it i'm just so inspired by this time of year...visual candy everwhere..plus i've been watching way to much planet earth and portland is like a romantic adult sized fern gully...its inspiring some pieces i really like but aren't quite blog ready yet

reindeer love

so for valentines day (told you i was behind) my nephews made me these valentine reindeer antlers..

.

i mean duh they are pink...so obviously they are valentines antlers...not to be confused with say easter antlers or halloween antlers or packing day antlers...i love these boys...and my antlers... and the v-day card with a note saying congratulations on working out...

per jane's advice*

best of intentions: so are you dating anyone?
me: no not really
best of intentions: how is it that you never seem to be dating anyone?
me:oh you know, i'm not a very healthy communicator...been kinda dating out of my league...and i hate brushing my hair sooo....
...
...
...
best of intentions: well you look great
...

*unless she does not want to claim as advising me to say things like this being as she probably may have given me the benefit of the doubt i wouldn't actually respond with any of the options we joked about....
