How cool!  I found a place where you can read the latest 10 ten list from David Letterman or peruse past lists.  How fun!  Work is so productive today.:-)

Not too much to report here.  I went to a conference for school this past weekend...that makes the 3rd weekend in a row that I have been out of town.  I am exhausted...and wondering what in the world was I thinking when I scheduled everything.  I ate Tibetan (sp?) food for the first time.  I enjoyed it..reminded me alot of Indian and Thai food.  See...I don't think I am that picky of an eater.   I had trouble staying awake during several sessions of the summer..made me worry about upcoming classes.:-)  I am definately not ready to go back yet.   I got back my pictures from Chicago and I am very pleased with many of them.  Keep an eye out on my website for them.  Maybe I should just pass up this whole PhD business and just take pictures.......hmmm.  Megan and Matthew...my brother and sister may be coming up tomorrow, so that should be good to visit with them.  I am still awaiting the final plans. On a different subject,  I have officially given up on trying to understand men...for the millionth time. 

Subject: Cancun, Chicago, and Bug bites
 
After much time passing, I am now making myself sit down and update the blog.  I suppose I will begin with my trips.  Cancun: It was wonderful!  I do believe that it is my favorite beach of those that I have visited thus far.  Crystal blue water that you could see completely to the bottom of, large waves, and white sand that just feels terrific through your toes.  Lisa and I relaxed on the beach, went snorkeling, relaxed on the beach, hit this cool night club Coco Bongo (check out the website...it's a neat place), relaxed on the beach, did a bit of shopping....and did I mention relax on the beach?  It was a nice trip and I of course got my nice red glow for a few days.  Realized that I now need to say that I love Tex-Mex food...not Mexican.  
 
Chicago: This past weekend I went to visit a friend in Chicago.  It was fun times.  It was the first time I had been there so we hit most of tourist spots.  It was opening weekend for Millennium park (yeah...a little late..try 4 years), so it was cool to see it.    We also hit Sears Tower, Chicago Institute of Art, the magnificent Mile, and Navy Pier.  I made a purchase at bloomingdale's...nice string earrings and got the infamous brown bag to hold my purchase.  I took lots o' pictures as always which I will post when developed.  But all and all great trip.

Bug bites: Yes, the story of my pathetic summer life.  I am perpetually attacked by bugs each summer.  All I have to do is walk to my car and they have a feast upon my ankles.  I actually went to the doctor today because yesterday I managed to get nearly 15 bites all in the same area of my leg from just 15 minutes of sitting outside.  The doctor confirmed they were just bug bites, so I am left with nothing that I can do.  This summer seems to be worse than others...I am almost embarrassed to wear clothing revealing my legs because I am then forced to answer everyone's questions about what's the deal with my legs...then they don't seem to believe me.  Anyways,  hating the summer bugs that's for sure.

Love life: Amazingly there is actually something to put under this topic.  I have been continuing to see the same guy that I have been.  I am not sure really exactly what's going on, but for now I am just seeing what happens.  Men are just so stinkin' hard to figure out..that is all I am going to say.  If I think too much about it, it will drive me up the wall. 

For those of you reading who know my cousin Miranda...you may want to check out the engagement pictures that I took for her on my website.

On my way to Cancun:-)
