i find this picture so peaceful. that's probably because that billion pound pack isnt still on my back, and jackie isnt holding down the puke that comes up when she tries to talk, and steph isnt still drunk, and lindsey isnt on an endless search for cough drops and random cravings of bananas - but hey, this picture reminds me of the greatness in all of that. wouldnt trade it for the world...

ok so i decided to stick with the GROSS theme... this is my teammate's foot after our tournament in florida this weekend, 6 games and a few bottles of jager later, we get in the van to unleash feet that smell like butt, butts that smell like old cheetos, and aches and pains unknown to the average human. we kick so much ass... but yea, its funky and gross, much like that toilet

what happened?
yea, thats what we said when us lassies were like "oh, taped off bathroom? who does that? and what would you ever do such a thing for when i have to pee oh so badly?" well... this is precisely why bathrooms get taped off, my friends
i still have fun trying to decide what would cause such a situation ?
what time is it?
well... my friend, you think a honda sign is cool? i think so too, but being in the land of guinness was enough to make this girl the happiest in all the world, especially our 10 am backpacking hike to the bus station when we passed this wonderful wonderful building... everything i need in a country - beer battered ham sandwiches and a santa named Liam with an endless supply of my nectar :)

Lesson Teaching Graffiti
So it is our first time in Dublin and we can't find Mount Joy Street. Our hostel was on this mysterious alley named Mount Joy Street. Apparently there was also a Mount Joy Square and a Mount Joy Prison. (Just down the block, woo!) Adding these factors into the reality that Dubliners are the absolute worst at giving directions ("oh, its about a ten minute walk. just take a right at the bottom of the basin and a left at the top of the town") What basin? That Spire spared us our misdirection towards the end of the trip, though. Anyways, back to the first day of the trip. Wandering and, finally admitting it, lost, we at last stumbled upon this wall -- OPEN YOUR EYES. With this inspiration, we finally saw the old school honda dealer (which was never open) and knew we were just around the corner from the comfort of our tiny hostel bunk-beds.
FIND THE GRAFFITI THAT TALKS TO YOUUU.
Blackbird in Boulder
All my time in Ireland I was hoping to snag a close-up picture of a blackbird. Wasn't until I was back in the good ol US of A off the highway somewhere in between Boulder, Aspen and Steamboat Springs that I caught a blackbird chillin on a light post.
I wanted to put a magpie up. It's this bird in Ireland that brings you good luck if you talk to it. But man that thing didn't want a photoshoot. I knew it was a magpie because Steph is obsessed with birds. She knows all their calls, colors and walks. Bird-crazy roommates are cooool.
