Having Fun in Cali Round #2

I am having a great time in Cali, Anja arrived and she has been here for 2 weeks. She just left today so I am sorta sad. On our trip we went to San Diego to hang out with my buddies and cool off our bodies from the hot desert sun.  We then went to Venice Beach to visit Anja's friend Marcia and Anja got quite the Hollywood experience. We then came back to my mom's place and relaxed. Had a blast tooling around with my mom on her golf cart at night. Wine + Sprinklers + Nighttime= Good Times 

Anja also adored my mom mom's dog Mandy, she taught her all kinds of tricks.After visiting with my mom we went to Sedona, Arizona with my brother, what an amazing spiritual beautiful place Afterwards we headed back to the homestead and now Anja is off to Germany.:(

Having a great time in Cali! Round 1

I am having a wonderful time in good ole Cali, it's been great hanging out with family and old friends. It was great to have Sherri, Ben and Sheri in from out of state. Kelly was also nice enough to let us stay with her.  My mom has been wonderful! My twin brother and I are getting into fights just like always! :)Jenn is a big as can be and Miles is really cute! Evil and Good Dan haven't changed a bit! Great to see Lenora, Lesley, Lindsey, and Zach too! Love my Edison buddy Sarah! Good times always! Keep them coming......Missing Jason but he is in Japan looking for a job!:)I am going to add more pics to this blog really soon! I am also going to add a photo album!

                   

Sour Cream Dog

This is my mother's new puppy! We call her monster Mandy!

Sour Cream Beard- She got a hold of a sour cream container!

She likes scotch bottles!

Happy Birthday Dad!

I miss you and think of you often!

1 1/2 days left with my Smart Cookies

Man my kids are adorable but I need a friggin break! They are driving me to insanity! I am about to pull out my hair. Pizza Party, Painting, Fun Stuff...and then I am done. Yippee! Summer break here I come!

I talked on the phone with this girl named Sherri L.

I just had a wonderful conversation with a girl named Sherri L.  She is a brilliant girl who needs to see and be with her close friends right now. I can relate to this because I live abroad and I know how hard it is for new people in your life to truly see you for who you are..I miss being around people that love me for me. I think it just takes time, but nothing will compare to old friends. Remember you have so much to offer to the world...... it's not even funny! :) Every new wrinkle is a sign of an experience, whether good or bad, it just sticks to you like super glue. Let's make it happen this summer!

Jason and Carrie in Japan

This is probably not going to be news to anyone because I think at this point everyone already knows what's going on. My lovely boyfriend Jason is going to move over to Japan tp spend the rest of his days with me. We have worked things out and we are both really excited. He had a blast with me! We met up in Tokyo, who would of thought??? and then I took him back down to Iwakuni.
Here are some photos of Jason's trip with me.

Tokyo- crazy Times Square Times Ten and a park in Tokyo

Jason also went to MIyajima Island, this is the famous floating Torii. He took this day trip on his own while I was at work. o

On a day trip to Hiroshima we stumbled upon the Flower Festival in Hiroshima. Jason really did get to see and experience a lot in 5 days!

Oh yeah, he also got to see the Kintai Bridge.

Love you Jason Paul Bozanich!:)

Thai New Year

I was fortunate enough to experience Thai New Year. It is such a cool way to have fun during the New Year. When I say cool, I mean it to have a double meaning. I say this because everyone has a water gun and they spray you as you walk down the street. Their New Year is so much more fun than ours, I think we should change it. The only problem is that theirs is in April and ours is in January. Can you imagine how cold people would be in New York if people sprayed water on them on New Year's Eve?

People sit in the back of their trucks, and as they drive by they just pour buckets of water on you. It got a little cold at night, especially if you go into the ice bar with a wet dress on. Anyways, I spent two nights in Phuket which was fun for partying, but I much prefer Phi Phi island. It was more up my alley, peaceful, cool, calm.....but if you wanted the party it was there waiting for you.

This is an actual sign, no joke! Tell me you don't love it!

Phi Phi Island

After Bangkok, I flew to Phuket and took a ferry to Phi Phi Island. One of the coolest places ever. It was hit bad during the Tsunami but a lot of the foreigners that own dive shops here put together a crew of people to clean up the island.

My room had a beautiful view of the ocean, absolutely breath taking.  I loved the cool beach shops, with their beaded necklaces and funky scarfs.  I went on a snorkeling trip where I dove in the area where the movie "The Beach" was filmed. I have never seen anything this beautiful before, well I probably have but it was pretty darn amazing! The boat stopped in a couple of different areas, I truly want to bring a special someone back here with me. It's so romantic!

The bars and restaurants are cool and peaceful, with bonfires and fire shows. I also enjoyed massages in the evening. Life can't get any better than this. This island reminded me of Utila island in Honduras. More photos to be added to all blogs.  More make up blogs to come..

Bangkok

I was in for a rude awaking with the heat and humidity but like anything you get use to it.

Our hotel is located in the Pat Pong area which is where you can go the fuckey shows and watch girls pop strange things out of their you know what. I was a little weary about getting a hotel in this area but I took a recommendation from a friend and it turns out to be a really nice place that has  a lot of character.

During my first evening I ventured to the night market which is the best place to shop in the world. Endless amount of things to buy......

Yesterday I went to Grand Palace and the Reclining Buddha, the details are so intricate that you are in awe of the finite details. I will add photos when I get home!:) After being on our feet we got a foot massage, which was amazing and cheap.

In the evening I went to a cabaret show, where everyone was a lady boy. Pretty entertaining!

Today I went to the floating market. You hop on a boat and shop! I didn't buy anything some of the stuff was tacky.

I am off to get another massage and this evening I might go to a ping pong show. Put two and two together and think about what kind of show I might be in for.
