I have been rocking out a new gym for the past month and I love it. They have a fabulous pool and wonderful facilities. Not like the ghetto gym I was going to before.

Today I saw a guy running so fast on the treadmill that I thought he might fly away. I couldn't help but laugh.

Only 7 days then USA bound. YIPEE.

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step. 3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

joke

A man and a women were traveling to Sicily on a sleeping train. The train was completely full and they found that they had accidentally been placed together in the same sleeping cabin, just the two of them. They were a little nervous at first but they soon just turned off the lights and went to bed, the man on the top bunk and the woman on the bottom. Sometime in the night the man said the the woman, ¨Excuse me, but could you please hand me a blanket? I´m a little cold up here.¨ The woman said, ¨I have a better idea. Why don´t we just for tonight pretend that we´re married?¨
¨Really?¨ said the man very excited. ¨GREAT!¨
¨Good¨ said the woman. Then she rolled over and said, ¨Get your own damn blanket.¨

18 days until I´m in Indiana...not that I am counting or anything.

monkey see monkey do

Gibraltar! We had quite the day and saw lots of monkeys. Look how cute the baby one is!

Don´t do that

In the morning I take a bus and then I take a tram for about five minutes. You are sitting relatively close to your neighbor and one of my biggest pet peeves EVER is when your neighbor reads off of your newspaper. What is up with that? Just stop it! Get your own! So then I´m all self conscious like ¨I wonder if they are done reading this page? Should I turn the page yet?¨ Ha! It happens like...every day!
