planes, trains and auto(buses).

i am delightfully unstable. stability is overrated anyways. hives have become a close companion of mine, always there to heat up my body and make we writhe in pain and itchiness.

my poor mama has had to hear me complain, cry and moan about basically anything i can come up with to complain, cry and moan about. i think i've exhausted my resources and vow to be perfectly serene and composed from now on. maybe starting tomorrow. or the next day. ok, at a date to be determined in the no-so-distant future.

bien.

also, i would like to give a little "shout out" to my bellingham girls and say:

i have the most amazing friends!! i admire you all very much. and miss each of you already. for my travel girls, i am very impressed that you have embarked (or currently are embarking) on adventures which are completely terrifying and intimidating. i feel like i have a security blanket in this adventure because of kili, ashley and chels, not to mention that the place i am visiting is plush in comparison to some of your travels. i'm just really impressed with my friends. way-to-be. its intimidating to go somewhere new, no matter what the circumstance. you are all wonderful examples of courageousness.

also you're all the prettiest. and funniest.

also, if anyone would like to email me, DO IT!

i take off tomorrow evening.

xo.
