Kara's Journal  we recently took a trip to Cancun with my cousins, Julie and Paul. I put together a little slide show of the pictures we took while there and wanted to share them with you. http://2226432512.slide.com/p/4/Cancun_ We had a really great time, although the weather was less than ideal. Of course, it was still much warmer then around here but still a little too windy and chilly to be out in your swimsuit! After a day of that, we just started wearing our swimsuit under our clothes and pretending like the weather was great. Besides the weather though, the trip was great. Julie and Paul are always a ton of fun and we went out and did a lot. Neils and I went parasailing and went to a water park called Xelha. Xelha is where a fresh water river meets the ocean. There is an inlet where you can snorkel, a lazy river you can float down, underwater caves you can explore and much more. We actually didn't really have enough time to see all of that, but we still had a great time. You won't see any of those pictures on the slide show however, because we took them with a water proof camera and are saving the rest of the film for when our return trip to Cancun. We also ate at some incredibly fabulous restaurants. The one with the best food by far was the JW Marriot on lobster night. What's Lobster night? Well you pay $50/person and then eat all the lobster tails you can. Seriously, they were fabulous! But also, you get to eat from a buffet that was just incredible. Anything your little heart desired, it could find on this buffet and it was all phenomenal. The restaurant with the best atmosphere (probably in the WORLD) was the Thai. You will see a lot of pictures of this place on my slide show. This restaurant is right next a giant interactive aquarium. They actually share a wall. So the night we discovered it, we were looking for some where to just stop and have a few drinks. We went in and it is all these wonderfully private little bamboo huts, some are more sectioned off then others. Because it was a little later in the evening when we went the first time, we had the pick of the place. Our hostess seated us in what seemed like it might be a VIP area because it was roped off. This table was right next the aquarium, so we spent the evening having drinks and watching the dolphins swim by. It was AMAZING!! The second night we went back it was Neils' birthday. We were seated out on the ocean and had a great meal! Besides the trip things are pretty non-eventful here. On a regular basis we ask ourselves why we don't live some where warmer. We're working on it! More immediately though, we will be gearing up for the next Cancun trip in April. Current mood:  content.Current music: "Dirty Fingernails" Modest Mouse. Ok so it's almost Christmas and right about now I start to get all excited. It's not so much really the presents but more the prospect of everyone being together, and you should probably know that when I say everyone I really mean those of my favorite people who I rarely get to see. Paul just called, and they are going to be leaving for Isabel around noon. And this is our year to have Christie and Tommy (Paul's sister and her boyfriend) so that makes it even better!! I also just got off the phone with my little sister who lives about an hour outside Denver. We were a little worried that she wouldn't be able to make it home, but it looks like things have cleared up enough out there to travel so she should be in Isabel tomorrow morning!! Neils and I are going to meet Julie, Paul and crew in Isabel tonight! They will all be meeting him for the first time. I can't wait. I love sharing amazing people with other amazing people. I'm at work right now and I'm afraid it's going to be a very long day as I'm already having a hard time concentrating! Merry Christmas everyone!! Or Happy Hanukkah or Kwanzaa or Winter Solstice or whatever it is that you celebrate. I hope your season and your life, for that matter, is filled with amazing people!

Ok...This is how I feel a lot. I'm kind of glad it got sent to me. It's nice to know I'm not the only one. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6594606/sit On an unrelated note, I would just like to say WTF to the random guys who get lost in my hospital, stop in to get directions and then ask me out. Dude, in case you didn't notice I'm working. Who does that? I may be over reacting a bit on this, but I feel like that basically just sends a pretty loud and clear message that you don't think my job is that important, since it totally acceptable for you to stop in, tell me some of your personal stories and then ask me out like we are at a bar or something. GET OUT OF MY OFFICE...I'M BUSY!!! Current mood: calm.Current music: "Last Night" The Stroke. Does anyone else find this a bit ridiculous? http://www.tatom.org/documents/CNN.c Current mood: complacent.Current music: "No Control" Beck. Have you seen this? I've been enjoying it now for a few months. I find it to be absolutely beautiful. http://postsecret.blogspot.com/ Current mood:  melancholy.Current music: "Black and White World Basic" Lemon 8. I just had a horrible thought. I live in SD and as you know we are in the midst of a debate on a total abortion ban (with the only exception being save the life of the mother)that was passed by the legislature and signed into law. The ban has been referred to vote in Nov. So now the campaigning has started. Most S. Dakotans oppose the ban because they view it as being too restrictive and would probably support it if it allowed for a rape and incest victim exception. So now, the supporters are saying that it does, in fact, provide an exception for cases of rape and incest because it allows for the morning after pill. I know there are a few other states that have passed the same sort of law, but I'm not sure where in the process. So I had this horrible thought, what if the only reason the FDA actually approved the morning after pill as an OTC drug was to give the pro-life people more footing with their stance that this ban does have an exception for rape and incest victims. Could this "progress" actually be a bad thing? |
