Warning Underwear

Yes, it's me! And yes, I know I'm a bad blogger. My sister reprimanded me this week for not posting anything for over 3 weeks. I pointed out to her that is has been over a year since she posted anything. Judge not, that ye be not judged, dear sister! Anyways, I want to talk about 2 things today: Undergarments and car insurance. First, undergarments. I found out recently (don't ask how) that I'm not the only one who has a set (or two) of "warning underwear." You know, that underwear you don't really like but you keep around for laundry days. In my case, I'm not good at paying attention to how long it's been since I did laundry so I know when I come to my first "warning underwear" I have 2 days (cuz I have two warning undergarments) to do laundry. It works out well for me and keeps me in clean underwear! Sorry, is this too much information? But do you do that? Or are you one of those people who just watches to see how empty your underwear drawer is, thus notifying you when it's time to do laundry? You think that procedure would work for me, seeing as how I'm a "noticer" (right, Katie?) but it really doesn't. My theory is that it takes me a good 1.5 hours from the time I roll out of bed until my brain actually turns on. So, when I go to grab clean undergarments in the morning I don't realize that I'm on my last ones. Ok, moving on. Second, some idiot almost ran me off the road this morning. But because of my quick actions I foiled his plan. And in instances like this I believe we should be allowed to call our insurance company and say how lucky they are that I am a terrific driver and was able to avoid an accident that other drivers (not you, of course) would probably not have been able to avoid. And we should get a discount for every time we avoid an accident. Now, I understand that would never happen as fraudulent non-accidents would increase out of control. But sometimes I feel like my insurance company should know what a good driver I am. Oh and one more thing... Third, I just survived another birthday. It was a hard number to take. And since a lady never reveals her age let's just say... I've been driving for half of my life. That's so weird! Well, that's all for now. I have a few trip videos (and photos) from the past couple of months that I'll post soon. And as spring fever sets in I'm looking forward to a spring/summer full of fun adventures! Hope you're having a wonderful day! Talk at ya later!

You too can travel Southeast Asia!!

So, the wonderful group that I went to Southeast Asia with back in June of 2007 is doing another trip this year. If you're interested in going you can check out the link I shared on Facebook. (If you need more info I can tell you other ways to contact them!)

I posted a bunch of pictures and information about the time I spent there and here is a collection of links that will take you through most of the trip:

Sadly, I never finished posting the rest of the pictures but it was all equally amazing. I'm so sad I can't join them this time but I hope to go again in the future. It was the trip of a lifetime!!
