I was biking home from work on the bike path and a 10 year kid ran right in from of me while I was going top speed. I braked as hard as I could and ended up flipping my bike and narrowly missing him.
When my mind is really busy I find a computer way too distracting! On Tuesday afternoon I went to the park to organize some work for a client with pen & paper.
Normally, I'd probably have a lot more to say about this body-paint celebration, but considering I was heading back home to meet Vin so I could practice reiki on him, I've

After completing all 5 weekend retreats, and practicing a slightly different meditation technique each weekend, the Shambhala organization presents you with this pin to commemorate your accomplishment! (Surprise, there's nothing to accomplish!)
At some point in December of 2007, Meredith started getting really into gluing on fake nails and painting them! (Wait until you see the photos of when she discovered all the Dominican salons and started getting her nails airbrushed and all properly "did." Hahah).
About an hour after we'd finished lunch, the rain finally stopped and we headed back out onto the beach where we made friends with a very friendly, albeit very bitey and very smelly beach puppy!
One of Meredith's friends was there visiting and when I asked her to make her ugliest face, she put her entire hand in her mouth. (Which marked the only time someone's "ugly face" gave me a chubby. Hahahah).
...and here! Hahaha. The rest of the trip was pretty uneventful. Having had already seen Doi Suthep and photographed the shit out of it, I don't even think I took my camera out of my backpack!
Oh, and this was so badass - when you paid admission into the Spa, they gave you an braclet that was your key to the digitally programmable electric lockers. All you had to do was put your shit in any locker, close the door, and then hold your bracelet against this little sensor on the locker door and it would lock the locker. All you had to do to open it was put the bracelet back against the sensor.
