I am here for Friends

About Me

I am from chicago - now living in Thailand. I love to travel and explore! I have lived in Costa Rica for a bit, Vegas, San Diego, Florida (near some of my sisters - yay!), we moved to Thailand in 2006. I live with my wonderful hubby, our babies - 2 cats and 1 dog which we brought with us from the states. We got married on October 30th, 2004 on the beach. We have been together for 9 years - wow. I love good beer (Dogfish head, Avery, etc...)and good wine (which I cannot find in Thailand, want to send me some?) I like painting, sand volleyball, singing and dancing, hangin with friends and family (whom I miss terribly). I LOVE music that moves me and I like to paint and draw (but I dont do it enough). I owned my own business (with the hubby) and did pretty well at it, now we are running a restaurant/bar/hotel and travel office in Khanom, Thailand - cant beat it! www.1morebeer.net I love it here - the nature, snakes, animals, love the ocean/beach and kayaking, snorkeling(not many dangerous sharks here - that i know of)! I'm learning to speak, read and write Thai. I miss Chicago and Cali (mmmmm Portillos, Mexican food, fish tacos, sushi, beer) mucho. I love baseball - namely the cubs. THIS IS THEIR YEAR- GO CUBS! Yeah baby. Hmmm thats all for now...

Now we take our time... so nonchalant, And spend our nights so bon vivant. We dress our days in silken robes, The money comes, the money goes... We know its all a passing phase.We light our lamps for atmosphere, And hang our hopes on chandeliers. We're going wrong, were gaining weight, We're sleeping long and far too late. And so its time to change our ways... But Ive loved these days.Now as we indulge in things refined, We hide our hearts from harder times. A string of pearls, a foreign car... Oh, we can only go so far... on caviar and cabernet.We drown our doubts in dry champagne, And soothe our souls with fine cocaine. I dont know why I even care... We get so high and get nowhere. Well have to change our jaded ways... But Ive loved these days.So before we end (and then begin)- Well drink a toast to how its been... A few more hours to be complete, A few more nights on satin sheets, A few more times that I can say... Ive loved these days.
