My Seattle Birthday Road Trip: Swimming, Taco Bell, and Shopping!

Wow! What a great weekend! I never thought I would ask to go on a shopping trip for my birthday but I did and it was great... minus being tired and getting sick at the end of it. I had my big girls, my little girls, and my fam with me. It was perfect! I had Taco Bell, went swimming, and got new gear - mostly for running - I am ready for summer.. BALI TIME!!

We left on Saturday morning - after a night of party party... showered and drove to Langley where mom drove us to our new home for the night. We went and ate in some log cabin restaurant. We had a two booth booth. We returned to the hotel and then headed out to the shopping outlets. I hit the Roxy and Nike store with mom and Belle and then it was time to reconvene. Belle went off with Heidi and mom got me an ice cream. I had lost all energy by this point. I stood outside with my ice cream watching my mom hold things up through the window. I tried to find the energy to shop more.. but that was it for me! I couldn't even finish my ice cream. I went and napped in the HOT truck.. all balled up and sweating. YUCK~! Finally, everyone returned and we stopped at Walmart... and got snacks and gatorade.. and Dr. Pepper... and beer... and wine... I didn't even get a 40!

Back at the hotel a swim with my girls revived me partially. All I could think of was Taco Bell. We got into comfy clothes back in the room and shared stories and ate crackers and cheese. THEN, a trip was made to Taco Bell and fine crunch wraps and soft tacos arrived... mmmm!!! yummy! Well, that is it for me! Carrie and I went to sleep.. or I went to sleep and Carrie soon followed. The rest of the gang went to party.. or mom, sam, G, Dad ... and Emma.. hahaha! Heidi was the babysitter... I coulda babysat! Oh well. I was asleep... and that was nice!

Emma got a hat that says Cock Fight on it. hahahaha!

When they returned from partying they came and woke me up and wished me happy birthday. So, I had another soft taco. Why not? It is my birthday. When I woke up in the morning. I had another soft taco! Then Carrie, Emma, and I went for breakfast and swimming. When I came back from swimming I had another soft taco! Carrie said we couldn't bring them with us in the car.

We went to the outlets.. for one more hour. I got some tank tops and socks. Sweet! Back on the road.. to LULU and I got two pairs for running shorts. YAY! (One of which I wore later that day for my run with Emma!! Yup.. we ran on my birthday after all that Taco Bell!!) We made one more stop at Bob's for lunch and then I slept all the way to the border.

That's it!!! Good times eh?

Ankle Day 13

It costs 30 000Rp for half an hour to use the computer at this hotel! I pay like 2 000 back by my old place. It bugs me that it is so expensive... but I guess I am paying for convenience. I am stuck. I can't run away and I can't do what I want when I want. I am dependent on other people and it is great that I have those people.. but I am so independent.. that it is ... sucking in my brain. Ya know? I AM the kid who will run home and go to bed when she is done. I can't do that now. I have to wait or ruin people's fun. WHA! hahaha.. I am fine. Everyday is getting better and today is off to the doctor. It will be Sam's first time meeting Dr. Brown! Today at 12 is also the last day of my antibiotics! Sam is making me ask the doctor if I can have beer... there will always be that double standard! He is taking care of his sister.. but come on.. I had a screw put in my ankle I deserve a beer!! They shoulda had a cold Bintang besar waiting for me as they woke me up from my

Everyone is sleeping!

Goodmorning! I love wifi in the hospital. Everyone is still sleeping. It is 5:43am. I am alive and Andrea is here beside me curled up so cute on two benches. She has been my "mom-friend" and my ears throughout this whole ordeal. As she said, the waves were not good anyways. Ya right! Dewa was out for five hours yesterday. Thanks again Andrea. Ok! So wanna hear the coolest news of all??? Beside my new bionic ankle and using an Indo bedpan? Sam is coming to help me here and take me home!!!! I'm so excited. It is so weird. The night I found out about the break I had a dream and sam was in it. He was laughing a me, eating all the ice cream, drinking tequila, and eating magic mushrooms. I woke up and he had texted that he is coming. And then mom texted that it was true!! I cant wait for him to meet my friends. Yay! I'm sorry his pool shed won't be getting built but maybe I can help when I get back? After I read all that stuff about sprained ankles Andrea got my as
