Dear Abby December 31, 2007

I wouldn’t normally write about this especially since I said I was going on a break,but I need my fellow blogging friends advice on something that keeps recurring in my life…It makes me not want to blog it makes me want to be completely boring and mundane its happened to me number-us times throughout my life…. let see four times “Stalker type girl friends” I can’t be the only one that this happens to?? people who slightly know me but act like they know everything about me, without the trust built up, the type of person pry’s into your life in a way that feels invasive and makes you feel not right, the person wants your clothes, property, car, and FRIENDS, they want to buy everything you buy, go everywhere you go and be everything you are or at least it feels that way.
It would not normally be wrong or bad at all with a normal girlfriend relationship it would be a complement to have a friend want to be like you, because you want to be like them as well and you have a common trust and love for each other, I think this type of bad relationship works with people who are insecure and bored who copy everything about someone else without any give or respect, it strips away your desire to be you.
It reminds me of a Sinfield show something with Elaine and some stalker friend.
They don’t give anything of themselves they just take take take… and when they do give it just feels needy…
I’m at my wits end(hate that expression!) Blogging friends (PEOPLE with blogs) please help.
Maybe I can make an art project about this..

dengue fever December 9, 2007

Last night I found out I have dengue fever, after two days of getting sicker and sicker, D talked to a bunch of local people and they all thought I have dengue fever. It was probably the most sick I have ever been, we went to a 24 hour pharmacy that had a Dr. there he gave me a complete exam and two medications it was a whooping 30 dollars.
Dengue fever is spread by mosquitos.
D took such good care of me.
I want to write about our amazing time in Sayulita and all the awesome people we met there but right now we are in Guadalajara in an awesome area called Tlaquepaque there are 19 monkeys at our hotel they go all over the place some of them have babies on their backs.

Road Trip December 3, 2007

Right now we are in Mazatlan, we have been here two nights and it is even more beautiful then it was 13 years ago on our honeymoon, we have desovered that we really like it here, the trailer park is pretty strange that we are staying at our neighbors are all bizarre, within ten minutes the four people I met told me complete horror stories, one said I better watch my kids because they would get taken by ped$#%, someone else said we should leave because the kids would get eaten alive by bugs, someone else said they like kids as long as we keep them quiet, so I made it a point to crank the mexican music when we passed them (they are right next to us … how rude) someone else said, watch out for snakes next to our tent, and someone else told me that bandits broke into a trailer right down from us, and that the police would not take names because they are scared of retaliation!
I love Mexico.
Yesterday we got up at five for other reasons and left before the marathon started the road would be closed by us all day we got out my like one minute we were the last car on the road.
We went down to the finish line and watched the runners it was amazing there was alot of energy going on there were 65 thousand people here to see the marathon, we got stopped by the news and they wanted our photo for the paper.
Then we went swimming on the beach, Jude got “lost” for 25 seconds, he gave me a heart attack!!!
We went to the center later that night and saw a reenactment of the nativity there were lots of devils and a Mary and Joseph and baby Jesus as well as people dressed like animals, there was live music to go along with the play and a choir, everyone was singing to some of the songs, we were getting looked at big time, we were the only non mexicans there. it was pretty awkward in some sense but also fun, everyone was touching Juders hair and asking about Hope.
the Cathedaral was open D took the kids in there.
Today we leave for Saulita for 4-5 nights.
