OMG! What an awesome vacation I had!!!!! Tim and I stayed at Hedo 2 in Negril. So many adventures to tell and so many great memories including the freak we sat next at dinner our first night there (POT! Puck! F***! or whatever the hell he kept saying) , Chiara and Eugenio, the cab driver who whilst smoking a fat daddy going down a curvy road all the time singing an impromptu song "Joint after joint after joint" (ya mon that is how we do it here in Jamaica!), The guy in the hot tub to Tim "Can I give you a hand? Are you sure I can't give ya a hand?", the guy who came out of the bathroom with toilet paper literally stuck to his butt!!! It's one thing to have it stuck to your shoe but on your butt at the naked pool - ahahaha! , The Jamaican man that gave Tim the ULTIMATE compliment, the time we took the taxi and the cab driver, Perry said "Hey mon -we gonna stop at the park first" in the BAD part of town (we were sweating there for a minute --Okay Christine if anything bad happens you just run for the police station and I will be right behind you).....Perry was cool - he knew more about American politics than most Americans. How cool is that driving down the road with a 60 year old Rastafarian cab driver talking about politics? I love to hear what other people from other countries think about us....Plus when we went to Xtabi for dinner --- Me: "Gee I wonder where all the spring break party people are?" Tim: "Gee I just wonder the people are period" Hahahaha! Walking down the beach and trying to avoid the "braid lady" "You sure you don't want ya hair braided mon? Let me put some aloe on you mon -- this is why Jamaicans don't burn because we put aloe on" (Tim laughs) why you laugh mon????? uhhhh..nevermind.....Respect Mon!

Inspirational Quotes

"I know no disease of the soul but ignorance, a pernicious evil, the darkener of man's life, the disturber of his reason, and common confounder of truth." - Ben Johnson

"Humans are powerful spiritual beings meant to create good on the earth. This good isn't usually accomplished in bold actions, but in singular acts of kindness between people. It's the little things that count, because they are more spontaneous and show who you truly are."

"One in all, All in one, If only this is realized, No more worry about not being perfect!" - the Third Patriarch of Zen

"One good deed is worth a thousand prayers." – Zarathushtra

"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." - ancient saying

"The universal law of karma ... is that of action and reaction, cause and effect, sowing and reaping. In the course of natural righteousness, man, by his thoughts and actions, becomes the arbiter of his destiny." - Paramahansa Yogananda

The Marvellous Mr. Tim

I can't believe that Tim and I are going to Jamaica for a whole week!! I have the most awesome and amazing boyfriend in the world!!! I am so thankful that he is in my life!! I just had to dedicate this entry as my "Ode to Tim"

Love is enough: though the world be a-waning,
And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining,
Though the skies be too dark for dim eyes to discover
The gold-cups and daisies fair blooming thereunder,
Though the hills be held shadows, and the sea a dark wonder,
And this day draw a veil over all deeds passed over,
Yet their hands shall not tremble, their feet shall not falter:
The void shall not weary, the fear shall not alter
These lips and these eyes of the loved and the lover.

~William Morris

I've Been Tagged!

Well, it looks like I have been tagged by Jillian---By the way I LOOOOVE your new collage book - I HAD to bid on it!!!

http://bohemiart.typepad.com/

Here’s the rules:

1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog. 2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird. 3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs. 4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Sept Choses De Moi:

1. I love wearing corsets ! I have several Bebe/couture corset vests I actually wear to work with long skirts...I could dress up like the 17th century every day if I had the chance...I think I was born in the wrong century!

2. I am not allergic to mosquitos..when I lived in the Philippines I was bitten so many times I built up an immunity to them.

3. I speak/write French fluently and have since I was 9 years old! Mais c'est depuis longtemps jusqu'a j'ai habite au Europe..j'ai oubliger beaucoup! C'est tant pis! Un jour je voudrai retourner au France, mais maintenant c'est trop....

4. I think that fountain pens are DIVINE --I got so used to them while living in Europe that I frequently buy the disposable ones at Office Max because I can't live without one!

5. I was in labor with my first son for 48 hours -insane.....

6. I was a member of NORML when I went to the University of Minnesota....I also was in several environmental protests in college (but never arrested) and was a member of MPIRG (I am such a tree- huggin' hippie! ain't it grand?)

7. I actually get cravings for organic/natural foods- the less processed /more organic the better (More hippie tendencies)...I could live off of fruit, vegetables, rice, fish, granola, etc....etc...but I do also love a good cheeseburger from Ted's Montana Grill every now and then as well as chocolate gelato from Sogno! Ahhhh Sublime!

Okay and now I would like to tag 7 Rose Petal Path http://7rosepetalpath.blogspot.com/
