A little sun, a little blog.

Good Evening my fine friends (or morning depending on where you live in this great massive world!)  Today was a great first day, except for I was a bit grumpy.  I woke this morning to a man blowing a whistle and kids screaming. We apparently live right next door to an elementary school. It was 7 am, 5 am to me.  I couldn't get back to sleep so I went for a run.  BIG MISTAKE!  Have I mentioned how HOT it is here?  I was soaking wet within 3 minutes... ewwwwwww!

Sarah, Georgia and I had some breakfast and went down to the beach.  Playa by far, hands down, no negotiating has the best sandy beaches in Mexico!  It's like powdered sugar.  It kind of mushes in your feet, but feels like soft satin, and it's white.... and the water, gorgeous aqua blue... you can see a shark coming for miles!  We sun bathed for about an hour.  Sarah and Georgia both are red, but me.... nothing really happened... just a little darker than what I was when I started.  It's weird.  Of all people, I should be the one to burn, but nope!
Here are a few pictures of the beach:
The Clouds were coming in and taking over!

After our great day at the beach, we had lunch at a Tapas bar.  I had my favorite Spanish tortillas and chicken tacos.  They gave us free sangrias.  For a second I thought maybe I was in Spain again, eating eggs and potatoes and drinking sangrias!  mmmmm.
Off to stock up on groceries! :)  Mega Market is HUGE!! But, unfortunately they are not big on "dairy-free" stuff.  Oh well.  We bought healthy, yummy foods!  We are on a mission, us three girls.  We are calling it "Boot Camp PDC: Tone up, pound down, tan on!"  Three goals.  We even joined a gym called Evolve, spendy but amazing!!  We worked out after we went shopping!  They even have a pole dancing class!  What the?!

Last but not least, a few pictures of us in the house!  It's a great place.  Today we had a visit with some of our neighbors.  Everyone here seems to be super nice.  Right now, across the way, there are having a dinner party.  Everyone's windows face each other.  Very cute community of people!
When we arrived, there were Swans on our bed.  Sarah made out with hers!
and Georgia had a staring contest.  I think the swan won.

Living room! Cute place!!

Wish you were all here!  Love and miss you!

Ugh! HEAT!!! Okay, well...perhaps it sounds REALLY nice right now. But I know what you mean about soaking during a run...THAT doesn't sound like fun. But a gym DOES!! Awesome!! Mexicans love their pole dancing...see proof: http://lybbertfamily.blogspot.com/2009/01/there-are-funny-quirks-about-this-place.html


The beaches look AMAZING. And a beautiful house...I'm curious how much it cost per month to rent! ENJOY!

The World On Canvas

Lately I have been wanting to do artsy projects, call myself artsy, and hope people believe I really am... artsy.   Pinteres t has been amazing, in that I can find fun and easy home projects, pin them to my  craft board , and then attack them when I have a free day.  Well today was 'do something creative with a map' day. I have always wanted a world map in my home, but I hate using thumb tacks, and who wants to have a poster continuously falling down because the sticky putty you are using is useless. (Ahem, Marcos, I'm talking to you.) And because I want a GIANT world map, buying a frame for it is out of the question, as they are too expensive. Luckily, I found this project by Creative Juices Decor on Deedra's pinterest board .  Canvases and Mod Podge?  I'm in. I bought a brand new, though antique looking, world map at Barnes and Nobles and went to work. Seven hours later, with a sore neck, glued fingers, a trip back to the book store for a replacement m...

The removal of a 7-9mm kidney stone.

-
About two years I got an x-ray at my Chiropractor's office to check out my back.  After reviewing the films, we found a little spot in my kidney area about the size of a pencil eraser.  I didn't do anything about it until this fall.  After doing an endoscopy for other reasons, my doctor told me I had a kidney stone about 7mm in size, like a small raisin.  Isn't it funny how doctors describe size by comparing them to fruit or nuts?!  So I went to visit a urologist who told me I needed to get the sucker out!! Today was the day.  I really didn't anticipate it being such a big deal, but um.... yeah, it was a big deal!! Here is how it went: No eating after midnight, no drinking past 10 am.  Dave picked me up at 11:30am, get to hospital, check in on first floor, to be directed to another check in on the 5th floor, to yet again go to another check in across the sky bridge.  Wait a moment, get checked in AGAIN in another office, wait some more.  F...

October... and now Spain

October was a crazy month.  If you thought for one second that September was busy with sales in Skagway for me, ha! October was three times that busy.  I jammed three months of work into one month (though I still have more to do), as well as, recruited 25 plus volunteers and helped raise more than $54,000 for  Get Hitched Give Hope .  I would love to do an entire blog just on GHGH, but I will leave it to the  blog website  to fill you in.  The entire month I didn't stop.  I had Sarah and Jared in town, then right after Terry and Drew in town.... a short trip to Ketchikan, and then Mom and Michelle in town in Seattle.  My birthday weekend was a blast.  Valerie came to visit and we enjoyed every minute of it.  Thank you Ketchikan weather for being so amazing! Here are a few pictures of my October. Hike with Matt (and Valerie) in Ketchikan Home town, view from 3rd avenue trail Beautiful Carol, Michelle and I at GHGH Soooooo ...
