Welcome to Playa del Carmen!!

-
WE MADE IT!!  Sarah and I were up at 6 am and on our flight to Mexico.  We met Ashley, aka Georgia, at the airport and we were on our way.  Poor Georgia was up at 4 am and then had to wait for us in 90 degree weather at the airport for about 5 hours!!!
Our landlord is awesome.  He is giving me a cell phone here so that I can call him if I need anything.  Our house extremely cool, decorated so pish posh, has everything we need!!  Two bed rooms, three bathrooms, laundry and full kitchen!! I love it!  Even a pool!  and very very safe Mom.  We have 24 hour security guards outside the building and we are in a locked gate! 
Our first order of business was to find dinner.  We went to Las delicious on 5th Avenue, and enjoyed Chicken Fajitas and then took a stroll down on the beach!!  The water was WARM!!!  I mean, warm for me, so that means really really warm cause I think everything is too cold!
On our way home we stopped at a OXXO (convenience store) and got something for breakfast in the morning.  When we walked out, it was a down pour!!!  Raining huge buckets, worse than Ketchikan, raining upside down, RAIN!  So we ran across the street, where we met two Irish lads Mike and Fionnan, and drank some beer.  
Here are some pics of the night.
Tomorrow we plan on settling in, grocery shopping, and relaxing!!  We will be here for a month!!
We plan on doing some really fun things while we are here, so stay posted for some history of Mexico and more!

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 ...
