yay! i am so happy to read all of your happy news and thoughts! rach and destry, thanks for sharing the song and the article - both made me extremely happy!
so, life in the land of sunshine and papayas has been quite satisfying and exciting, but also quiet and calm. lots of poolside lounging with the kitties (i swear all i do is watch our 3 kitties play and jump on each other and breast feed and be adorable! it's the best way to pass the time, i promise!) last monday, my dad got surgery for carpel tunnel and then on wed i followed in his footsteps and was admitted into the emergency room for an injury on my right hand. i was on my cousin's motorboat jetting off into the bay when suddenly his anchor got loose and i went to catch it and the rope just ripped my right hand and gave me a second degree burn across my whole palm. so, that was... interesting. the upside is i've been learning to be ambidextrous! otherwise, it's a bit of a pain to do just about anything but i'm healing fast and i should be fully recovered soon (i hope!).
i spent new years eve out on the boat with some cousins (aboard another boat, a SAILboat...) watching the fireworks from a distance. it was AMAZING. we didnt quite know exactly when the countdown was but we HEARD the screams of joy coming from the city lights - one of the most incredible things i've ever experienced. we popped the champagne, howled at the moon, and enjoyed the glorious view of ALL the firework shows happening on the mainland (without the loud noise!). quite a glorious new years indeed. back on the mainland, i joined some friends at this swanky hotel near my house where we crashed some parties (open bar!) and then had a picnic in a park, wine and cheese included. i am very much enjoying all of these outdoor activities in my life, and i'm catching plenty of rays for you guys, don't worry (vit d deficiency is a big problem! fight it with a visit to MIAMI!)
speaking of visits, my two friends from cincinatti arrive this afternoon for a week and then friday descend the amherst lovelies for a weekend of birthday debauchery. also, i just got confirmation for this summer job in martha's vineyard working on a farm/camp! yippee! life is grand. sadly, i have to get some tooth repairs while i'm home and the cost is pretty high so i dont think i'll be able to make it to costa rica for cait's birthday in a few weeks. oh wells, you can't do it all.
miss you all! besotes from miami!
