Ooh the funnies!

So while visiting with my friend Bellydancer we got to see a lot of Youtube videos because she is a big fan of random cat videos. So I wanted to share some with you! 

I’m sure you have seen the “Shit girls say” videos but there is one from Chicago that is sooo straight on and I love it! 

Now some people say it isn’t completely accurate but this one is pretty spot on too…

(He was off on the fact that we say “Jewels” not “jewel”) 

Incase you haven’t heard this song yet, listen and it will be stuck in your head! Its hilarious and taking over the world! 

Does your city have a “shit ______ say” video??? 
Don’t you just love the song?! 
Happy Tuesday!!! 

Weekend recap!

I had a pretty great and relaxing weekend. I went up to Saraburi to visit my friend Bellydancer and have a little R&R before I head to China and things get crazy and busy.  


I got in Friday and we got some food and hung out, eating and drinking beers Skyping with our boyfriends. 
Saturday we slept in late and then explored her town, shopping, eating way too much and just generally relaxing. She made me dinner and we hung out and chatted the night away. 

Sunday we got up early and went to Lopburi which is famous for having a temple that is overrun with monkeys. It was fun, a little nerve wrecking but we had a kid as our guide who had a stick to shoo them away. Not that it stopped them from getting close and tugging on our skirts and one jumped on my friend. When we got inside the temple we were able to touch the monkeys through the bars which was fun since they kept trying to steal our rings and my watch the little thieves! 
The fun thing about the monkeys is that they are not controlled to one area, they roam the streets and surrounding areas and are fed all the time. But it is very clear that you have watch out for your belongings as they will snatch them right up. Even shop owners have to be very vigilant. 
So here are some pics from the weekend….

Its our thing to head to Swensons everytime we get together

Hot Pot dinner 🙂 

Its so difficult to make guac! Got to find very expensive avocados and tortilla chips! 

reunited and it feels so good! 

My bestie A gave each of us one of these little creatures before we left. It was the first time I remembered mine when she had hers!

How was your weekend? 

Friday Friday!!

Yay it is finally Friday! Not that I did anything exceptionally strenuous this week to be so deserving of a weekend. I did manage to get some laundry done, some uneccesary shopping and the decision about where I will be teaching has been made!

Wednesday next week I am moving to China! Yep! I am finally going and I am very excited about it. The back and forth process took awhile and really stressed me out but my fantastic mother Mrs.M handled all my visa paperwork and is sending it all back to me so I can leave Thailand and get to Foshan.

For the next 11 months I will be living in this beautiful city :

Teaching Kindergartners and exploring what China has to offer.

Since I am not quite sure what my internet situation will be for the first week or so I need some guest bloggers so if you are up for it send me a message!

I am headed to visit Bellydancer in her town Saraburi so we can relax and hang out this weekend before I leave her. I am sure there will be some beer and late night chatting sessions involved.

I hope you all have a great weekend!!!
