CENTRAL AMERICA OR BUST

In just over 2 weeks I'll be in Guatemala climbing to the top of this:
It's called Pacaya Volcano and it's currently active!! You can hike right up to the lava flow and take pictures! Considering how much activity these legs have had in the last 3 months, I'm also stocking up on a lot of this:
We're heading up north and taking some time for climbing around the ruins here. You get to see monkeys, which I'm really excited about, and possibly snakes, which I'm really NOT excited about:
And before we come home we're stopping off at Semuc Chempney to float through caves and play in these natural lagoons in the middle of the jungle:
I'm pretty excited at the though of going to Belize to see this:
And I can't wait to spend a day at Lake Atitlan and kayaking on this:
It's going to be 10 days of memorable adventures, sore muscles, incredible views, and oodles of pictures. Hoping to make it back in one piece....that's the goal :)

UN-ENCHANTED

This movie was on last night and despite the fact that I never liked it in the first place, I found myself watching bits and pieces of the second half. While it was on I was talking to a friend and mentioned that I found it annoying and unrealistic. Because what kind of man would fall in love with someone as spacey and seemingly mentally unstable as her?! After those words came out, I found it ironic that it wasn't the fact that there were cartoon characters coming to life that made it unrealistic to me, rather the thought of people falling in love under those circumstances that put it over the edge. Um....I'm thinking I'm still feeling a little jaded, perhaps.....ha, ha, ha!! :)

DOPPELGANGER

Yesterday I ran into the doppelganger for Biff Tannen, the bully from Back to the Future. Except he was older, had kind of a gross tan, gold chains, sweatpants, and a shirt unbuttoned almost all the way down to his bellybutton. It took everything in me not to ask him how many times he's been told he looks like the actor from Back to the Future. But considering his strutt, I figured that would add to his ego, and middle-aged men that wear gold chains and unbuttoned shirts like that really don't need anything else to add to it.....

CONFESSION

I don't take vitamins because they're good for me. I only eat these because they're sort of a justifiable, sour candy. Sometimes I'll eat 4 or 5 of them in a day. I'm hoping that counteracts the fact that Tuesday when I was in a rush I ate stale chips and string cheese for dinner......

HACHI

I've never cried at a movie as much as I did at this one. Seriously. There were sobs.
