On Relationships, by Carrie Bradshaw

And now, a quote from the series finale of Sex & The City:

“Later that day I got to thinking about relationships.
There are those that open you up to something new and exotic.
Those that are old and familiar.
Those that bring up lots of questions.
Those that bring you somewhere unexpected.
Those that bring you far from where you started.
And those that bring you back.

But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all,
Is the one you have with yourself.

And if you find someone to love the you that you love,
Well, that’s just fabulous.”

Spring :: I spent last Sunday installing my closet doors – which first required several hours at a friend’s house (one who has a garage and tools) because the custom size doors I ordered were the wrong size. Massive fail on my part – I measured like 5 times before ordering those damn things. Anywho, my brother did a lot of the heavy lifting on the cutting and resizing of the doors while I laid in the driveway soaking in the March sunshine, staring at the sky and the blossoming tree above me.

This Sunday is a bit of different picture in this city. It’s raining like crazy and has been for hours and hours. Real rain – not weak Seattle drizzle. My windows are all beaded with water. And, I have to confess that today this rain hater is loving the rain. I didn’t get out of bed till oh.. 11:00. And since then I’ve been sitting on my couch drinking coffee and watching Sex and the City. I finally made it to the last episode. It is seriously the best episode of TV I’ve ever seen.

Cambodian Aerobics

My sister and I are taking a 2-week trip to Southeast Asia. We leave 1 month from today. Yikes! We’ve got a bit of planning to do before then. That said, tonight I ordered myself half a pie from Stellar Pizza (they re-opened! woot!) and devoted the evening to trip research.

I would like to share with you my favorite discovery which I found in Lonely Planet’s “list of things to do if you only have one day in Phnom Penh.” I am so excited about this!

“Every morning at the crack of dawn, and again at dusk, Cambodians gather in several pockets throughout the city to participate in quirky and colourful aerobics sessions. This quintessential Cambodian phenomenon sees a ring-leader, equipped with boom box and microphone, whip proteges into shape with a mix of 1980’s-Soviet-style calisthenics and Thriller-inspired line dancing moves.”
