some updates.....and i swear i will take some pictures this weekend so its not just text:)`

1. our final turtle has disappeared.....we have spotted this mangy cat hanging around , new to the neighborhood according to mel! so we think maybe this kitty is the culprit! it could also be the same one that is in heat, like every night around 8 o clock. i dont know if you have ever heard the sound a cat makes when it is in heat but it is a cross between a baby being killed and a whining dog....or maybe not....buts its horrible!!!

2. im back on coffee...i dont know if it is official exactly just yet- but the other day i totally cracked and after not having a single coffee beverage of any kind in almost two years, i had the most tasty frozen coffee drink EVER at this place by our house. i blamed melissa. i thought it would be a one time thing- an indiscretion that would stay between me, mel and the tasty deliciousness coffee. however, today i am at the sushi place using their wireless to do some 'work' yes, i have actual work to do now:) and i ordered ice coffee...oh crap.........looks like this may not be a one time affair!!!

3. jons friends from canada are really nice and we went to the beach with them today- it was fun watching other people get totally caned by waves and not have it be myself or meg for once:)

3. last night we came back to our house and there was no power- actually there was no power on like the whole block!!! absolute pitch darkness....well you guys know how i feel about that so naturally i say outside the house on my bike, with the lights on waiting for mel to get home a few minute sbehind me and she was like yeahhhhh no power. so we went looking for a wirelss place with lights ( i almost took melissa and my lives on the bike...mel forgot her helmet so she rode with me which made me sooo nervous and we were giggly and delirious and there were no lights and well- on the way home i told her i couldnt drive with her on the bike and she got on anyways, we got down the ramp from the cafe and i was laughing maniaclly and she was about the throw up from laughter. so she got off and walked up until she found job ( who was able to drive her home on his bike while eating an ice cream cone...) yeah im just not that skilled!!! as we were in circle k looking for candles and mosquito coils the lights came back on! yay! good thing cus i was NOT looking forward to makeshift house with no power!! when jon found us at the cafe he didnt have his backpack that he had had at dinner. i was like oh where is his bag? and mel says he probbaly left it at home... and i said ( as she describes) incredulously.... IN THE DARK?? and she looked at me and said kaelen not everyone is scared of the dark... seriously i think i forget that not everyone wants to panic and collapse in the pitch black....it wouldnt have been pretty!!

4. tomorrow is friday again ( really???) mel has some friends from thailand in town so that should be fun. today on the beach jon and i tried to revise our typical going out route so that it would be more conducive to cheap drinking and less conducive to what jon coined as "dance floor rape" ( yes, lydia, it is very similar to 'ocean rape' which i also told jon about. its creepy cus i kinda think he likes it!!if you have ever been in any sort of club or bar where it seems that being on the dancefloor = a free for all of grabby hands and men "leading with their pelvis" as jon calls it!! next time we go to paddys i suggested he try leading with pelvis and seeing where it takes him....haha!

I don't know how you've been off the coffee this long...esp. after being in BALI, land of glorious coffee deliciousness (I am STILL rationing out some of the coffee Nick and I brought back last year; it's probably ass stale but I don't even care).

Good on you.
