random things as of late.

My brother got me the cutest thing for a graduation gift! Its a picture of us when we were 2 and 3, respectively - aren't we adorable?! haha. In case you can't read it it says, "To my sister, we laugh together, we play together, and now, we've graduated together." Cute huh?! Its on an easel so it looks like a little baby painting or something. Just thought I'd share the cuteness - and the fact that I had blonde hair... weird huh?

Jury duty: what an experience! haha I didn't get selected :( but thats ok, because it would have likely conflicted with my travel plans and it was an unpleasant case (child pornography and aggrevated child abuse/sexual assault). Not a good way to spend the week. So now I'm jury free. But I enjoyed the process - and the importance of it all. I like that our judicial system is set up in a such a way, and I wish more people respected the opportunity to serve rather than paying so much attention to its inconvience.

Today I went through all my e-mails (UGH!) and I decided that like my photos, I'm going to keep better track of them on an immediate basis, rather than letting them all pile up and overwhelm me!

I also bookmarked a lot of websites - including lots of travel sites which was fun! Even though a lot of them will never become useful to reality, its fun to look though and such. Here are some of the sites I like best!

For booking:
http://www.bing.com/travel/ ...they have forecast technology with tells you whether or not to wait to buy your ticket, predicting whether the price is about to go up/down!

http://www.luxurylink.com/
...all-inclusive and luxury places on sale auction style! So you can potentially save a heap-load of mulah!

...I don't necessarily like all the ideas they have, but if you're looking for a vaca and just plum out of ideas, this can be a good jumping point!

http://www.countrywalkers.com/
http://mtsobek.com/
http://nomadicexpeditions.com/ ...these places are neat and have different travel packages around the world!

Destinations:
http://www.peterisland.com/peterisland.html
http://www.rancholapuerta.com/index.html
http://inkaterra.com/

Items:
http://www.wishingfish.com/510660a.html ...laundry paper! neat!
http://www.flight001.com/store/index.htm ...all sorts of goodies!
http://magellans.com/ ...lots of goodies here too!

So thats what I've been up to lately. Organizing, searching, and a lot of nothing too. haha

Hope you're having a great day!
