Home Sweet Home!

I returned home Friday night. I felt like I had been gone a month. I was very productive and unpacked, read my mail, called a few clients back and started laundry. I went to bed about 11 and I got up Saturday at 5am. Thats VERY weird for me. My internal clock is off cuz Israel is 10 hours ahead of us. But I did get a lot done yesterday. It felt like 2 days!




Last night Me and Erin (sister) went to My Fair Lady. (I have season tickets) It was really good. I was so tired I was kind of doing the head bob thing. Tim Jerome played Alfred P. Doolittle and did a fantastic job! Also the famous Marni Nixon played Mrs. Higgins. For those who don't know she was the Singing voice of Audry Hepburn in My Fair Lady, Deborah Kerr in the King and I and An Affair to Remember, and Natalie Wood in West Side Story. Im so glad I went last night, even though I was exhausted.

A day in the sun...ok just an hour or so.

This morning I was woken up by the cleaning lady vacuuming the hall @ 6:45am.  That was really nice.  About 9 am my dad and I went down to the beach (about a 3 mins walk from our hotel) in Tel Aviv.  You have to rent chairs for 12 shekels each.  So I plopped down, turned and my ipod and started to soak up the sun.  My dad went swimming in the water.  I decided I should probably get in the water to say Ive actually been in the Mediterranean Sea.  I got in up to my knees.  I was only out about an hour and I got some lines.  I think I'll do the same thing tomorrow morning before we leave for Tiberias.  

Another day in the middle east

Yesterday we went to Petra (which is in Jordan)  The top of my head got a little sun burned which isnt fun.  Now Im gonna have weird crusty crap on my head.  Good think I dont care what people here think.  Petra was pretty amazing.  I took alot of pictures of rocks. My father would be so proud.  He LOVES rocks!  He started talking about them as soon as we got in the van and headed towards Petra.  He talked about the mountains/rocks with our chain-smoker tour guide.  

Our guide was impressed.  Our guide was kind of annoying.  Every time we stopped he lit one up.  I swear he went thru 2 packs in the 8 hrs we spent with him.  He was trying to convince me to go into business with him.  He wants me to sell Dead Sea products in my salon and do mud massages. Right...I'll just set them up in my kitchen.

Today we rode from Eilat to Tel Aviv.  BUT... before that we did a little shopping.  I probably spend more than I should have.  In my defense I did buy like 5 gifts too.  I bought the HOTTEST green heals!!! Im so excited to wear them!  My parents made fun of me.  They said I can only wear them twice a year, St. Patricks Day and Christmas.  Whatever...Im gonna rock them whenever I want!!!! (yes I used 4 exclamation points)

For your imformation...

I rode a donkey today.

looking out on the beach...

We made it safe to Tel-Aviv...finally.  We had a 8 1/2 hour flight to London, 9 hour lay-over and then another 5 hour flight to Israel.  During the lay over we went to Westminster and got fish and chips.  Every time I sat down I fell asleep.  Last night I finally slept....and boy did I sleep! v I slept for like 11 hours!  We are getting ready to leave and travel for the day.  

Leaving on a jet plane....

Well in 5 hours I will be leaving on a plane an on my way to Israel. Technically I will be going to London first. We will have a 9 hour lay-over and then we fly to Tel -Aviv. We get about 5:30 am TUESDAY morning. Im gonna really REALLY try not to be grumpy. Im kind of freaking out/really excited....

I know EVERYONE will miss me (those who actually see me). No worries I will be returning June 20th. I will have a lot of time to think and read. That I am excited about. Unfortunately I will not be reading Gone With the Wind as planned. Maybe next long trip....

Have fun!

To Brush or not to brush

I was wondering something....actually my friend asked me and I gave him my thoughts on it but today I started thinking about it again. Here it is: what do u do about morning breath when u wake up and your significant other want to give u a "little morning lovin"? Do u give them a quick kiss then run to brush your teeth? Or have breath mints by your bed? Or do you just dont care and go at it? Personally I think it depends on how much you like/love the other person....and of course how bad their morning breath is. Id like to know what other people think about the whole thing.

Busy Week

Today was the first day of a very LONG week! I have about 65 appointments this week. I leave Sunday for 2 weeks. A busy week for me is usually 40-45. Today went very fast. I finally shoved a piece of pizza in my mouth around 4:15. (My mother brought me a pizza that was left over from Mckenna's birthday party) All the clients were pretty easy today minus this one lady who I kind of wanted to yell at and maybe pull her hair. She complained that hair product I sold her last month made her hair "too puffy", "took all her shine away" and "made her hair lighter". First of all Im pretty sure she is nuts. There is no way the product (small talk by: TIGI) would lighten her hair. Its lighter because she does her own color and its crappy color. Too puffy? I told her it was for volume. As for shine....I think its her color.

I do have a little slice of heaven to look forward to.....ECLIPSE. I am finally reading it. I really like Edward...ok maybe love. I know he isnt real but I really dont care. Before I even read Twlight I had a thing for Vampires and now these books have deepened my love for them. Im not as obsessed as my little sister though....she has read all three books 6 times each! Thats 18 TIMES! I will probably finish it this week and I have decided to read Gone With The Wind while I am in Israel. I'll probably take another book just in case I finish it.

Well I better go to sleep before I pass out.
