Good afternoon! I just wrote a whole entry and then friendster deleted it! ahhh! Well, I wrote about how upsetting the London attacks have been. We came home after tennis and turned on the news and watched BBC for a couple hours in silence, just staring. All those stupid terrorists are doing is making Western societies more united..uh, I hate that word.

Dave and I are heading into Bangkok in a little bit to pick up my Kiehl's face soap that I left at the beach hotel we stayed at a few weekends ago. That's right. We're making a trip for my face soap. But it's not just any face soap. I'm afraid to try a cheap face soap here since everything is in Thai and I don't want to risk the disaster if I'm allergic. And this bottle was 2/3 full so really, it's worth our time to get it. haha. I'm still trying to justify it myself because I know how ridiculous it sounds. Oh well.

I have a new project starting this weekend. I'm coaching an all female brass quintet. It sounds like a Beebs idea but it wasn't. A teacher from Bangkok met with me yesterday and told me about his idea and gave me a small budget for the year..mostly for my fees. I'm excited to get started. I don't think anything like this has been done before in Thailand. Girl power music making is fun! YAY!

We're also going to paint our condo this weekend! I'm so excited. The off-white walls and floors are driving me mad and I've decided I'll just die if I don't paint them. I can't decide what color will go with our lime green couches though. We have a lot of blue in the apartment but I don't think I'm a fan of blue walls. I want a happier color like faint yellow or pink! I don't think Dave will go for pink walls..I'll take pictures.

Our next weekend beach trip is underway. We found a package on Thai Airways that's $100 per person for round-trip airfare from Bangkok and 2 nights hotel/breakfast at a resort in Krabi. It's down South and I can't wait to check it out. Krabi is where all the limestone rock formations popping out of the water are. I'm not typically a resort/package traveller but I'm over that. It's so cheap and after alll the SAYOWE work we've been putting in at night, we deserve it. Another justification. haha. Anyway, we have a 4 day weekend coming up..I love Thai holidays!

That's all I have for now..it's starting to smell like sewage in the hallway. YUCK. Have a great weekend!
