how you know i am moving soon...

• purchased an xxl bag of peanut m&ms at costco (in my defense, i did try to offset the ridiculous purchase with a bag of dried mangoes).
• 2 bags of haribo gummy bears.
• superfluous bag of chips, container of fresh salsa...and guacamole.

fyi. i am not a huge sweets person, so the fact that i have any sweet food in my house is sign something is off....

ps. all of the above is in my refrigerator...i suppose old hawaii habits die hard...

chips y salsa.

i'm a sucker for that combo. in fact, i will easily eat it as breakfast, lunch and dinner...no questions asked.

re: two times too many.

the end result is that i am having to wear contacts. i loathe the act of putting the buggers in or taking them out, hence my typing this at 10:40 pm, when i really should have taken them out by 10 pm. woops.

two times too many.

twice now, i have broken two pairs of glasses within the last six months.

twice now, i have broken two pairs of glasses the same exact way.

twice now, i have fallen asleep while reading (at least not the same book) and then somehow snapped my frames in half.

twice now, i should have learned my lesson.

ready. set. go.

i'm off. costa rica. here i come.

really.

really. i should be packing right now. in fact, with as much excitement that i have, i should be overpacking. instead, i am procrastinating. in fact, i still stand by the question that i asked my roommate the other day, "why can't i just wear my swimsuit the entire week and not pack anything else?" perhaps i will...

...if you need me, i will be in costa rica...and will not get back to you until i get back...that's how serious i take my vacations...

this is fact. not fiction.

1. i have a love/hate relationship with pizza. i began today with a love and now i only have hate. this will last for another 6 months, when i will more than likely suddenly fall back in love with it again.
2. not having health/dental insurance is one of the best things that has happened to my body. i finally grew up and started flossing. i exercise and work on ridding the toxins in my body more so than ever before. 
3. even though i will be there in a month, i still really miss texas. after watching a movie placed in texas, i cried as i also longly watched the sunset on the hill country.
4. i have been vegetarian for a month and a half...but i will more than likely be omnivorous in less time than i have been meat-free. 
5. i put on nail polish just to peel the paint off of my nails.
6. the medical check facility for the military hung up on me the other day. "why?" you may ask. because they wanted to order some pizzas....as they put it..."you know, you have to have your priorities straight." 
7. i was bullied by the 8-year-old girl that i was nannying yesterday. in my defense, she is taller than me.
8. i loathe doing my laundry.
9. i genuinely think that jeff bridges and i could be great friends. i want him to be my mentor. i really dream of meeting him someday.
10. i can't wait to see mt. rushmore. no matter what anyone says...imri...

ps. i may be headed to central or south america for the peace corps....as soon as july/august. zoinks!
