19 Days and counting

A few days ago my passport came in the mail. After getting over the initial excitement of finally receiving it and realizing that I will actually have to go through with this whole big trip... I noticed something. I look like a cooked lobster. No joke. My face is so red and shiny! I have no idea why, I was not burned or hot at the time. Stupid cameras.Oh well, I only have to use that ID for the next ten years. No big deal. Picture is to the left for your entertainment.

I have also been on a cleaning frenzy. Normally I let my room get pretty bad before I spend the whole day cleaning it out to where it looks decent. But I keep having the urge to clean more and more. First it was just the floor, a little vacuuming here and there to get rid of my friends the dust bunnys. But then I ventured under my bed where the monsters live. We are talking a jar of peanut butter... lord only knows how long that had been there. Gross. Then I got crazy and cleaned my closet! Now that I think about it, I suppose I'm cleaning so that if anybody in my family ventures in when I'm gone I don't want them to remember me as a slob. Which is crazy because they already know that I'm messy.

I went on a shopping spree. Not really but I remembered that I don't actually own a hairdryer among other things that I only share with my sister. Hopefully my paycheck comes in the mail so I can pay for more helpful things like lotion and product. I am kind of worried that none of my brands will be in Thailand and I'll have to use all sorts of strange things with names i cant pronounce. I can just imagine myself in the supermarket scratching my head over all the freaky bottles written in Thai (which i cant speak or read in the slightest). Or worse. I'll love the stuff and then get back home and never ever be able to use it again. I will be forever unsatisfied with my Aussie shampoo.

Speaking of buying things I was hoping to bring little gifts for the people that take care of my grandpa. I think there are three girls, 18, 14, and 7. I have no idea what to bring though. Ideas please?

Well that is all for now. Thanks for reading. Please comment!!!!
