too funny

Does anyone else read The Bloggess?  If you don't, then you are missing out.  Case in point, this blog post that had me laughing so hard I cried And that's why you should learn to pick your battles.

Then today, the sequel Knock-Knock, motherf-er. Giant metal chickens revisited.

Just go read them.

For me.

Happy Domain Day!

Beginning today, you can now visit www.pricelessadventure.com to view my blog!  I am so excited to have a real domain for my priceless adventure.  You can still reach my blog by using blogspot.com.  Please let me know if you are having any trouble with my links.

I promise more blog posts soon.  My master's classes have been kicking my butt this semester for several reasons.  This is a shorter term and I'm also waist-deep in building my global learning project's website.  I've been spending a good 6 to 8 hours every day building my website, making graphics, or writing content for one class.  Not to mention I'm also taking a philosophy of education class at the same time.

Back on the Rock

I'm back in good ole Dominica after just barely catching my flight from LAX as I sat at the gate listed on my ticket, not the actual gate the flight was leaving from.  When I was a kid, flying was so exciting.  As an adult, it's tolerable at best mostly due to red-eyes, screaming children, and overly crowded airports.

Homework is calling my name, but I thought I'd share this hilarious blog post from Brandi.  Everything she says is right on the money.

Summertime

My time in America is almost over.. but it was really great while it lasted.  Being in Atwater felt like summertimes of long ago.  Especially when the fireworks boothes went up!  Staying up late and sleeping in, drinking fresh made sun tea no-lemon-no-sugar, and Foster's Freeze ice-cream sundaes made me happy.  Even the 100 plus degree weather didn't phase me after living in Dominica for so long! Here's a picture of us happy girls on the front lawn.

Mom, Sissy-la-la, Sarah-Bearah, Me

 It was a rare few days to have my mom, Julie, Sarah, and me all in town at the same time.  Julie has been living in LA for a long time now working as a graphic designer, Sarah is living in Seattle and just graduated with her masters in social work, and with me in Dominica it's been almost 2 years since we've all been in the same place at the same time.  What a wonderful way to end my stay in norCal.

Pads and Pads

While shopping on Etsy for a cover for my new iPad2, I discovered a whole different kind of pad, available for purchase.

To be honest, I had already heard about homemade pads from an eco-friendly acquaintance, but I never imagined the plethora of options out there.  This shop has 6", 8", 10", and the important 12" overnight pad available in a variety of prints and colors. 

Which brings me to another little-talked-about female product, the DivaCup.  To better explain the product, check out this video available on DivaCup's YouTube Channel.



They are regularly $39.99, but are on sale for $32.99 at Drugstore.com.  So, what do you guys think?  Would you try it?
