Life's been busy, in a good way, but there's really nothing remarkable to write about. So I'll list it.
1. I have become friends with a starving Bohemian writer.
2. I discovered an amazing Thai restaurant through some friends at work.
3. My car was brutally attack by a rabid shopping cart while I was at work in the predawn hours of the morning.
4. I have begun an Arabic tutorial, so hopefully I can independantly ask where a bathroom is this summer.
5. I have continued search out job possibilities, and have come across something that just might fit. (We shall see)
6. I have discovered a few new Starbucks beverages to add to my much-loved list.
7. I ate Mineo's pizza with some of my closest friends. Good times.
See? Really not much worth writing about. Tune in for better stuff (hopefully) next time!!!

Phad Thai
Mmmmm.... I found all of the ingredients and tried my hand at making phad thai today. Sooo good. A taste that I have missed. I tried it out on my parents. They approved. So delicious.
I went back and read some of my Thailand journals (my personal ones, not blogs), and looked through a bunch of my photos. Squeazed in between the rough moments were some really good times. I loved travelling in Thailand. It is a wonderful country to travel in. I think it's a really good country to work in too, but I definately had my rough spots. My two biggest issues were homesickness and being screamed at in another language almost everyday. I think that the screaming might have contributed to the homesickness. I am almost certain that screaming and misery like that are not at all common for foreigners working in Thailand. Thai people are so sweet and polite. There are so many things that I miss about Thailand.
I worked open today. Love that shift. I work with great people and had a really good time. I am really tired now though. Why is it that the night before I have to wake up at 4:30 I can't fall asleep? It happens everytime. I didn't sleep at all last night, and when I did it was in ten minute clips. Now my eyes are droopy and I have to stay up and take the kids to youth group tonight. Might get rough. I may actually skip CSI tonight and head straight to bed.
I have less than a week to decide whether I am going to take an Arabic course or just do a computer program. I'm not sure what is best. I want to be wise with my money and time, but I also want to learn. Back to the scales. I wish those pro's and con's would maintain a consistant weight.
