NOT ON FB UPDATE

So, we went visiting for the holiday today, and I was talking to a mountain woman about my desire to get married. She said, well, you reall need to hurry. Every day, you are getting older, weaker and more broken down... Sigh...

I have been thinking about all of this travel security nonsense. The liquids, really? Only 3 oz bottles? But a whole bag of them... I can get about 8 of those little bottles into a quart sized ziplock bag, so that would be what, 24 oz? So why is it bad to just have one 24 ounce bottle? Also, I have been through Heathrow airport 3 times the past month. I honestly forgot all three times that I had my inhaler in my purse, a little aerosol can. Now, even in Afghanistan I have been stopped in security for that. It was not noticed at all by the Brits. I realize that they would have let it through, but they didn't even ask... did they even notice? Begs the question.

So, I have decided, since it usually costs to check a bag nowadays, and even for little trips, I have so many little bottles that it is too much for my carry-on (shampoo, conditioner, straightening gel, straightening spray, eye make-up remover, facial cleansing stuff, moisturizer, mascara, body lotion, body spray, shower gel... you girls know what I'm talking about!), I will no longer carry the regular stuff. On arrival I will go to Boots, or wal-mart, or where ever may have little sample bottles and just carry my face stuff that I can't get there. Such a pain!

Ok that was a bit more than FB, but not really a blog...

Sweet moment, funny moment

For those of you who know me, you know that I can't really get through an entire day without having some sort of weird adventure. Yesterday it was a trip to the ER.

Today, I went hiking and we found a great spot in the woods to have quiet times. It was so beautiful. K. went a couple of hundred yards away and we both did our individual things. I read, and listened to P&W music (Psalms from The Sons of Korah) and then slept a bit. At one point I heard some scuffling and woke up and looked around to see if K. had come to eat lunch. What I saw was a beautiful baby deer about 12 feet away from me, and another behind it. he just stared at me and let me take his picture. So sweet. He hung around for a little while then went off and played around with the other one. What a nice little moment of grace.

After K. and I had lunch, I decided to go hide in the trees and do the necessary thing. I started to walk away and then stopped and got my camera. I told K. that it would be funny if a pack of wild boars (proliferate in those woods) came running up while I was "busy" I would have to take a picture of it so people would believe me. So, after I was done hiding, I walked about two steps, when... I AM NOT KIDDING! This pack of wild board went running through and stopped right where I had been!!!!!!! I HAVE A WITNESS!

I have to say I am very thankful that I was done, but isn't that just WEIRD?!

Went hiking today. Pain is a lot better, but still there when I don't take the metamizol. What is that you say? It is a great anti-inflammatory, the one I took after my appendix ruptured, when they thought I had typhoid. It is illegal in the States, but thankfully I am not there.

Well, I have seen the inside of another foreign hospital as a patient. I woke up this morning in terrible pain. Turns out it is a UTI. I didn't know they could hurt that bad! I thought it had to be a kidney stone, but they didn't see anything on the scan. Anyway, I'm now on antibiotics and pain medicine, but still feeling pretty rotten.

I was lord of all Catan for 24 hours, but just lost my power in a very sad game of Cities and Knights.

I am not sure why, but I had really out there crazy dreams all night last night, and I just remembered one of them. I had a cat that only had one eye. Not like one eye was missing on a side, but it was like a cyclops with a big eye right in the middle! How weird is that?

Last night, I watched the movie, Limitless. I really pondered afterward why it left me so cold. I decided there really wasn't a redeemed ending, mostly even bad movies have some sort of redeeming ending. This ending was just a continuation of extremely selfish motives that prevailed throughout the whole movie. But, my friend reminded me this morning that it is a GREAT conversation starter. What would you do if you had limitless potential to recall everything you had ever seen or learned, and were limitless in what you could learn. What would you do with that power?
