Homeward Bound
Although N. didn’t have time to make breakfast for me on Sunday, he still stopped off to pick something up for me to eat. As in the old days together, he always takes excellent care of me (and everyone else). We took a cab to Chinatown in search of the silk Chinese “sleeping” pants. Chinatown … Continue reading
Headless Buddhas
On Saturday morning, N. once again brought me breakfast, which he’d made at home. After I’d eaten, we decided to go to Chatuchak Market (also known as JJ Market) first, then head out of town to Ayuthaya. I was excited to finally see both of them. Chatuchak is huge, with both an outside and an … Continue reading
My Budgeting is Failing and I’ve Barely Begun
Every year I supposedly have a budget. Every year it doesn’t quite go as planned. In about 10 days I’m off to New Orleans. My plans are to stuff my face with as much fried, spicy food as possible, as well as downing multiple drinks and seeing some live music. New Orleans has things like … Continue reading

Nevertheless, I made it a point to get up early on Monday morning to get started on the task at hand. My first stop … Continue reading
Second Day at Treasure Island

The views were still great, the food trucks were better than most, but people don’t really spend money there. Everyone … Continue reading
Views from Treasure Island Today
After attending someone’s birthday party at Mayes Oyster House last night and getting to bed around 1:00 a.m., 5:30 a.m. came FAR too soon this morning. My friend picked me up, we loaded up the car and headed off to Treasure Island. For the most part, it was a nice day weather-wise, only getting windy … Continue reading
Treasure Island
This is a little self promotion. Tomorrow and Sunday I’ll be at the Treasure Island Flea Market selling my wares at Booth #275. If you have need of a few things from Bali, Malaysia or Hawaii, stop on by. If not, come by to say “hello” and let me know that you read my blog! … Continue reading
