Saturday 10/11/08

The first half of today was spent prepping for my upcoming Nicaragua trip. Before the long “to-do” list was tackled, we played Shaft (the girls’ new favorite game), showered, did a little homework and finally made our way out the door to run “mandados” (errands). I bought all the necessary medicines and toiletries for the next two weeks. Let’s just hope I don’t have to use the medicines (meaning I’ll be diarrhea free!). We walked home and had a delicious lunch (I always love when there are vegetables on my plate). My two friends, Kayla and Chelsea, called me up and invited me to a movie and I gladly accepted the invitation. These two girls have become two of my closer friends on this trip and the three of us can be quite silly together (something that makes me extremely happy) We shopped in San Jose and made our way to Terra Mall to see our movie, Eagle Eye. After the movie, we ventured back to San Jose and said our goodbyes around 7. I came home and my family was singing karaoke (a common past time at my house). We sang our hearts out and ended up heading to Taco Bell for dinner (something I haven’t eaten in years and probably won’t eat again for years). We came home with a renewed energy and karaoked the night away. We stayed up till nearly midnight until our lungs were shot. This was the latest I’ve stayed up for quite some time. It seems strange as it used to be a very normal bedtime for me. After hours of karaoke, millions of games of Shaft, and plenty of laughter (aka as the best ab workout in the world) we said our goodnights.
