Time to relax...

Yes!! Vacation is finally here. It is such a relief to take a break from the everyday life and experience a little more that this wonderful world has to offer. I started my vacation off right with a bowl of oatmeal and a conversation with my mom..hmm next I have to pack, get my arms waxed and redo my toenail polish; little things I know but needed just the same. I have tried to list all of our items that are needed, its funny how the little things that you use often are very likely the items that you forget (my list includes tweezers, razors, and shampoo .. I wonder what I'm forgetting?).

To update you on the weekend we had a couple items happen. On Friday night I decided to do a natural gallbladder cleanse (complete with olive oil and grapefruit juice). It was interesting expericene and went very smoothly to say the least, :) I did get rid of approx 35-40 stones ranging in size from a grape to the size of rice grains.. I feel better; not totally but I'm getting there. Saturday didn't do to much for the reason mentioned above but did clean the house a bit and watched "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". on Saturday night my sis-in-law Lani rolled in (very nice to see her its been quite a few months) we chatted it up until 2:30 in the morning, catching up on lots of lifes detail, needless to say we didn't rise very early the next morning. But we did manage to catch a movie "wanted" on the way out of town the next day, as well as some israeli food and veggie sushi.

We went up to rimrock and had a very nice dinner with Lynette and Romeo, and then we had to hurry home so we could get to work the next morning.

On Tuesday, decided to to try to make my own sushi. I must say it is quite delicous and pretty easy to make (I would say sushi is like a Japanese version of a burrito) I must say that vinegar sauce that is mixed with the rice is an excellent dipping sauce and I also like pickled ginger as well, both of these ingredients add alot of flavor. Lani made an excellent inside out version with is basically the nori wrapped up inside the wrap instead of it being on the outside. Anyhow I think I must wrap this up, I have to get going on the packing wow I can hardly wait. I'll keep everyone updated - love you all
