Bangkok Weather

Wednesday: Jan. 14th. Bangkok
Fair   90°/72°   Precip: 5%



Sounds wonderful! I'm ready for some Vitman D, and sunshine. I say this as I look out the window at the snow packed on my car. I actually got out of the house today and braved the cold air. As I ran into the department store I was taken back by a huge line of people scrambling around a huge table of unfolded shirts. What could it be? As I strolled over I started to remember: football in the south is a relgion. They were buying National Championship shirts. Roll Tide Roll.

On a side note, I leave for Thailand in 3 days! That's almost unbelievable. I'm almost completely ready besides the small things like running to the bank and painting my toenails. I have 11 pairs of brand new crisp underwear for the trip. Which means I'll have to wash them at least 6 times while in Thailand for 58 days. Either that or as my mother suggested I could wear them inside out, and that will only be 3 washes. Ew. That's gross. What have I gotten myself into?

The True Map of North America

We we're stopped at a gas station between Birmingham, AL and Huntsville, AL when I spotted what has to be the best postcard ever. Ever. We had just gotten back from working in Alaska, and we're pretty much used to missing our home state. I bought it with the intensions of send it to our friend in Seattle, but never actually got around to buying stamps. I know, I'm quite lazy at times.

I love how Alaska is only labeled as "eskimoes, woods, snow, and ice." You can't miss "DAM YANKEE TERRITORY". And California is simply "smog, desert, and foot waters". Oh, and of course the north is just "no cotton". Ha. I thought it was cute. Boy, do I love my gas station purchases. I hope you enjoy.

Just tap it to see closer details, you know you wana...

Roll Tide Roll!

I was wearing crimson at a young age:

Let it Snow, Let it Snow...

It's snowing here in north Alabama, this is the first time we've seen this much snow since the early 90s. Everything closes when we have even the slightest mention of a snowflake. Roads close, grocery stores are emptied, automobile wrecks left and right, and everyone panics. It's a perfect day to cook! I've been a cooking manic since 9 this morning. No kidding, a manic. Started with blueberry muffins, and an omelet (ham, cheese, tomatoes, onions, and crystal hot sauce). Next I made a blueberry tart, and finished with brisket and black bean nachos. It's almost time for the BCS National Championship game. Tell me this: Why do boyfriends believe a football game is the most important moment of their lives? Roll Tide Roll though. Hey, I'm an alumni!
