200th Post

I just realized that this is my 200th post!!!

Sad news is that my computer crashed a few weeks ago and has been deemed unfixable. It's sort of hard to blog from someone else's computer, so this may be it.

Email me at pigasus12@yahoo.com if you need me. I can't get my other emails.

Peace for now!!!!

Sleepy City

Today I was out and about in my old city and I was able to accomplish something I've wanted to do for a long time: take pictures of people sleeping!!! I didn't set out to take pictures of sleeping people, but I saw so many that I just started taking their picture. This city is insanely loud and I don't understand how people can sleep in it. It's the funniest thing to me.

I could have robbed the bank. Good thing I'm already rich. (that's a joke) My favorite part is that his shoes are off. This is the S. Asian eqvialent of strapping a kid in the mini-van to get them to sleep:

This is my favorite. The ice cream man on top of his stand. I guess this way no one will be able to steal from him.


I had so much fun taking pictures of people while they were asleep. It's sort of a rush not knowing if they are going to wake up or not.

Is this weird?

First Kurtas!!!

A friend of ours is making a quilt out of all the kurtas (tops) of the girls she's worked with here. Abby and I were considering which ones we should give, and we figured we should give her our first ones. Here's a picture of us during our first week in S. Asia with our first kurtas on. I disliked mine then b/c I felt like an asparagus and I pretty much dislike it now. I'm not sure if I've worn it in public since this picture. I'm scared mine will ruin the quilt, so I may give up a better one.

I'm rolling out of town tomorrow to pick up a newbie that will be w/ us for the next few weeks. I'm pumped for what's to come!!!

Yikes!!!

I totally passed out today and fell on top of an old man!!! Last time I passed out and someone had to catch me was in high school and I ended up getting a prom date out of it. This time there were no perks just pure embarrassment and a bruised knee. That's about all the story.

Can't Sleep

And all I can think about is the fact that I won't have a job when I get back!!! So, I've been in deep thought about how I'm going to pay the bills. Here's what I've come up w/ thus far:

1) About a billion of my friends back home have had kids since I've been here, so I'm considering opening a nursery. Ok, stop laughing out loud. I know it would be a disaster, but why not capitalize on my friends' fertility. (yikes, too much)

2) Cut grass. Pretty sure this one won't work out either b/c I don't own a lawn mover or any other equipment, and I think my parents wouldn't appreciate me jacking their tools all the time. Also, a ton of other peeps do this for a living.

3) I think this one is jack-pot. Somehow I'm going to convince people to let me go through their home and collect junk for a yard sale. I would organize everything then me and the homeowner would divvy up the profit, and what I couldn't sell at the yard sale would go on ebay. I read somewhere that most people have $3,000 worth of un-used goods in their homes. Lets sell that junk...Let me sell your junk!!! I love it. I'm a genius!!!

I'm totally up for other suggestions or job offers!!! I'm sort of just joking w/ this post, but I really can't sleep and totally have a meeting tomorrow morning. We still don't have water. PTL for baby wipes!!! The point of this is that if in a few months you see me on the corner holding a sign that resembles the one above...help a sister out!!! Seriously just kidding on that one. Mary Kathryn has already promised me that I could live with her and eat her food for as long as I needed!!! Gotta love big sisters!!!

Frogg Toggs

Momma sent me one of these towels in my last package and I absolutely love it. Our electricity has been out the past few nights, so its been a little hot. These little things are amazing. You just wet them and wring them out...then it turns cold!!! It stayed cool throughout the night. Tonight thankfully we have electricity, but no water!!! Hopefully we'll get some tomorrow. Meanwhile its a chilly 82 degrees in my room w/ my fan on. Don't take that as a complaint. It's a praise compared to how hot it got in the Dirty D (my old city).

The French Open is going on now. Poor Andy Roddick barely made it through his first round match. But I get to see him play at least one more day, so I'm happy. Come on USA!!! Also, we've been able to watch the NBA Eastern Conference Final games. I want the Magic to come back. Mainly b/c the Celtics have no excuse for losing.

I knew you guys were wondering about cooling towels and sports, so I decided to update you.

Whoa!!!

I guess its official now...I'll be home Aug. 4th at 4pm!!!! Well, I'll hopefully land in Charlotte at that time.

What in the world???

Please be pray for me!!! I'm going CRAZY!!! My thoughts are becoming slightly schizophrenic!!!!
