Postcards from Italy - Beirut

I was listening to this song on my iPod as our plane was landing Montreal in August. Every time I hear it now, I think of that amazing, ridiculous, excessive, out-of-this-world fun vacation with 15+ of my dear friends. It actually kind of makes me sick with nostalgia to hear it. It really was the best vacation I've had.

A pedicurist's nightmare.

Oh, kickboxing – look what you do to me! Buried under all that sports tape are 5 (yes, 5) bandages, strategically placed over all manner of blister. My mother says this makes me look like "a real althete". I think it makes me look like I'm falling apart.
