noodle quest 2006

hello friends. so i am still inchiang mai. i have been really tired and a bit sick as the stress of trying to change the ticket and the speed at which i’ve had to make decisions and move myself aroudn has been really exhausting. i am just feeling worn out. i am compensating by enagging in frenetic shopping behavior. i think i have spent more money in the past 2 weeks than in the past 2 months, seriously. i am not worried about it. so i am having my third fitting of my dress today- hopefully it will look better than it did last night. the shape and color are great but it needs to be cleaned up- maybe i wil have some last touches done on it in new york.
tomorrow night i am flying to bangkok and am spending the weekend there. i will go to the weekend market, finally, and then drop off all of my one jillion photos. wow. that is a lot of photos but much cheaper here than in new york. on monday night dan and i are going to the beach at koh tao until the 26th or 27th and then i fly home the 28th. whirwind! i am really glad that jes and i are flying home together. wow! is it going to be freezing in ny? at this point i have had 10 months of summer and i don’t think it’s quite enough! brrrrrr i don’t want to be cold!
today i am going to eat some kow soi, have my dres fitted than meet laurie, jeff and ro from my massage course for dinner tonight at 7pm. tomorrow i will go to the local market called warorot mkt before i leave- as if i could carry another thing on the plane- me and the night market went a little out of control last night but actually i bought all gifts, as usual.
more later….
wow a week and a half until i come home… weird!

look who’s waiting for me at home!
so after an arduous struggle it seems clear that nothing financially feasible or realistic can be done about my ticket. thus, i am comign home on the 29th of march. prepare the feasts and festivities!
i am in chiang mai now- going to have my dress made for the wedding this afternoon. isn’t that fun?
that is the only thing i am sure about today.
