i did a bad bad thing

Hi loves!
I saw so many of you just this weekend, and I needn't really recap the frolicking and the rolfing (not frolfing) and the recovering and the dancing and the fresh side and the grass and val and hardly spending a dime and the bug-in-the-ear and the hilarious interactions with t.marx and the wings and the hampshire reservoir and the bird sanctuary and the moan and dove and the massive bed party. before we hit the bus to amherst, selena was also with me in boston and jenny came up from new york with a kilo of chocolate which we have now completely consumed (thank you all for you assistance!). we became regulars at deep ellum and i basically convinced all involved that boston does not suck any balls, not even one.
However, nothing beats the green explosion of hiking ponding delicious of amherst and our little zu house, which put us up for free in a room that we found unoccupied (..we put ourselves up). saw a lot of friends, bartended at tent parties that were not mine, became moving art, and graduated twice yes TWICE from amherst college. Once, last year, as myself, and again this year as Rachel Anne Meketon (congrats honey bunches) who is hiking the trail and laughs in the face of authority. I successfully impersonated this little minx, convinced president tony that it was hilarious rather than illegal, commandeered a cap n' gown (with my crazy ninja moves....or amherst's complete trust of almost anyone), and walked. not a hitch. even i'm surprised. many photo evidences but here's a quick one from the amherst flickr forwarded to me by way of moin and trask and waskom.

valley news

Hiya sweets! So as many of you know, I returned from Europe one week ago (exactly!) after a long long journey of approximately 30 hours (flights delays, volcanic ash, sleeping in airports... the whole shebang). Then I was home in Miami for a short but glorious 3 days in which I got much accomplished - saw old friends, had a doctor's appt, went to the beach, and planned a surprise party for my mom! (her bday is today!!) The party was a success and everyone had fun and ate lotsa paella! It was an awesome couple of days... then Saturday morning my leetle sister and I flew up here to the valley, and we've been basking in valley love ever since. We're staying in the zu, spending much time in our beloved kitchen or out on the trails in the bird sanctuary and such. We've had barts ice cream, antonio's pizza, and we spent an afternoon at the bookmill. The other night we even had a bonfire at an awesome spot in the woods! I've also been getting lots of shots (vaccines, in anticipation for my Ecuador return in november!) and catching up on movies - gabs and i saw "babies" at amherst cinema and then we watched this indie flic, "bella", with jess last night. i give them both a thumbs up! Selena and Rosie get here tonight (CHAPMAN REUNION) and I think I'll break out my bottle of limoncello for the occasion! family will be arriving soon, i have some new dresses to show off, life is good.

can't wait to see all you babies soon! missing those who aren't around but i know you're all having fun and and being beautiful wherever you are !

lots of looooove, carms
