Give Me Back My Five Bucks

Yesterday my sister, mom and I went to the spa. Afterwards, my sister and I spent the afternoon lying on the beach. And when we had enough sun, we took a walk to the market to pick up some things to bring home with us. Today we went to Xcaret, which is kind of a zoo/amusement park not too far from our hotel. We swam for 45 min. in an underground river, saw huge sea turtles, dolphins, sharks, etc. Plus a tequila distillery. We also had a really good traditional Mexican lunch there. Tomorrow we are planning on relaxing on … Continue reading →

I want to thank everybody for their awesome suggestions in my Vegas team-building post. Last week I presented all of the ideas at a meeting, and we ended up choosing indoor sky diving, followed by the NYNY roller coaster. :) So stoked to try indoor sky diving!

So the new PT job is going to be great for making extra income. It’s more than I expected out of a PT job, and will help me meet my 2010 Goals which I previously thought might not be met. Speaking of money, I bought travel medical insurance yesterday. Since I already have Blue Cross, it only cost me $52 for 12 months of travel coverage (for all out-of-country trips that are 2 weeks or less). Yesterday evening was my last night of field hockey tryouts. It went much better than the first night, and I feel confident that I … Continue reading →
