Big orange head

Marla. Central Texas, in the Hill Country.

It was the morning after the night before.

Hatshepsut's Temple and my big head

Here's me in front of Hatshepsut's temple in Egypt. Man, that hat, that cheapo $8. Target hat that I tied a scarf around that came free with a British Gamour magazine, saved my life. Well, that and a lot of sunscreen.

2004 was a big year for me, I just realized. I went to Morocco and Egypt and Prague and Germany and did a solo trip through Europe. Both my grandmothers died that year. I had a miscarriage. I spent a week in London with one of my best friends right after HER miscarriage. My brother got divorced. I ogt really drunk in Ireland.

2005 was not quite as eventful, but still pretty packed. Moved house and went to Amsterdam and Paris with a friend, and to Budapest and Edinburgh with Rich.

As for 2006? Well, I've already been to the US, and have a trip to Thailand and Laos planned for March. We're supposed to go to Italy next week, but I think that will not happen as the Olympics have increased room prices and I, for one, would rather save for Thailand.

What's all this got to do with my big head? Not much. Just thinking out loud.
