My Caribean Dream...

Ever have one of those weeks where you wish you could just fly away???

This was one of 'those' for me!
Hot and muggy and waaaayyyy too much work to be done...

These were my brand new bright pink shoes (purchased in honor of Lotus!) after Monday...

The last place I wanted to be was in a dark dingy basement full of cobwebs and creepy crawlers! Eewwww! I've had the heebie jeebies all week long...

and by the end of the week after I'd painted the floors down there and installed carpeting upstairs... At least my feet stayed cool!!!









When you think about it, it was really just like being in the Caribbean...









Hot. . .













Humid. . .













and buggy!!!!!








Here's one I found inside my car while I was driving!!!!!



Can anyone identify this?



I know it won't be easy since my hands were shaking as I tried to take it's picture while driving down the road in a PANIC!!!!

ArrgGGGGGGhhhhHH#@%@^%$&^$$@%$^#%$"

Even my living space seems to be over run by bugs lately...

There's this HUGE grasshopper-like bug in my room that I have not been able to catch or kill

It's brown and looks like a cross between this stick grasshopper on the left and the Katydid on the right... It only comes out at night when I am in my bed and scares the crap out of me and my cat and then hides again!!!! Eeewwww.......

My only hope is that it catches the other resident of my living quaters which is a big, fat, FAST SPIDER!!!! This spider also hides during the day and comes out during the night... Everytime I try to KILL it it drops so fast that I cannot find it, it's getting harder and harder to SLEEP as I must KEEP WATCH for the SPIDER!!!!!

I need to ESCAPE!!!!!!

So I'm dreaming of the Caribbean...

The only problem is

my only knowledge of the caribbean

is a place that is all hard work

ALL THE TIME!!!!

Donkey pic for dj ;)

My mode of transportation in my actual Caribbean Experience!

(flat tire...)

It's no wonder that when you read of a car accident in Haiti it is never 1 or 2 killed

always more like 26 or 30 ;(

This particular day I spent filming at a dental clinic held at an all girls orphanage in Port au Prince. It turned out to be all for nothing!

My no-line bifocals rendered all my footage completely unfocused

(what??? It looked good to me?!?)

Another donkey for dj!

This is the well outside the hospital we were building.

The kids were just out of school and were sent to haul the water

(again, Haiti - all work, all the time!)

This is one of my favorite pics (taken by Nikki) of my favorite tree

in the village...

...IN MY CARIBBEAN DREAM!

(one can pretend, can't one?)
