Melissa Travels: Let's Steal a Humvee and Pick Up a Hooker
http://melissa-travels.blogspot.com/2009/07/lets-steal-humvee-and-pick-up-hooker.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2009. Let's Steal a Humvee and Pick Up a Hooker. I've heard of it and I have always wanted to play it.". Texas sighed patiently and plucked the game off the shelf. "I have it right here." He popped it into one of the systems and fired it up. He started to play while I watched and learned and asked questions. The conversation went something like this:. Me: So I hear we can steal cars? Texas: Yes, though I always steal a motorcycle (Texas is a big motorcycle fan and rides one himself).

Melissa Travels: My New Ride
http://melissa-travels.blogspot.com/2009/12/my-new-ride.html
Wednesday, December 16, 2009. Here I am, a couple of weeks out of school. Relaxing at last! And working on getting Sadie comfortable in our new environment. I'm going to take Thai lessons in January so I can finally understand what people are saying to me. I've learned a few words, mostly involving food and how much things cost. But that's not enough of course! Recently I traded in my rental scooter for my very own ride! It's a Yamaha Mio. I hear they are the best thing around. In a larger map. Good to s...

Melissa Travels: Healthy Fried Rice
http://melissa-travels.blogspot.com/2011/01/healthy-fried-rice.html
Monday, January 24, 2011. Author's note - this is not a cooking blog, it's a blog where I bitch about how much my life sucks, and things of that nature. But thanks to the Dutchess. I am feeling inspired. So here we go. Tonight I made Thai Fried Rice, or, as my dad used to joke when I was a kid, "Flied Lice! But I like to think it tastes good anyway. Chinese Kale (or other vegetable if you prefer. I prefer leafy greens as they're healthy). Thai chilis, also as much as you like. Cooking oil - 2T. This is w...

Melissa Travels: Check
http://melissa-travels.blogspot.com/2009/09/check.html
Saturday, September 26, 2009. Sell couch, TV, DVD, microwave, ottoman. Accepted an offer to buy my bed in mid-October, right before I leave. Promised my bookshelves to my cousin (not the crazy one). Found homes-away-from-home for my bike, snowboard and gear, backpacking gear, and a few other odds and ends I don't want to part with. Took Sadie to the vet for her Thailand-required checkup. FedExed my visa application to the Thai embassy in DC. Cancelled my Comcast internet and cable. Still need to do:.

Melissa Travels: New House & Talat Warorot
http://melissa-travels.blogspot.com/2009/10/new-house-talat-warorot.html
Saturday, October 31, 2009. New House and Talat Warorot. Today I opened a bank account, then rode the scooter into town to the Talat Warorot, which is a massive day market in the Northeastern corner of the city that has everything you can imagine (and some things you can't). There I loaded up on kitchen and laundry items as well as a sweet pair of rubber slipon shoes ($3) and super comfortable Thai pants ($2.50). Pretty awesome. I think that's Sunday night at 6:00 pm for you West coasters, since I hear y...

http://melissa-travels.blogspot.com/2010/07/two-years.html
Friday, July 9, 2010. I don't know.I feel that chapter of my life is closed now, and there would be no point to it. I honestly don't care what he's doing right now, or who he's with. I have no desire to tell him about my (totally awesome) life. THANK YOU SCOTT FOR BREAKING UP WITH ME AND SETTING ME FREE! You are great and I had very good heart. Be Strong! July 9, 2010 at 3:45 AM. You had very good heart! July 9, 2010 at 3:47 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Mueang Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Melissa Travels: Sea Change
http://melissa-travels.blogspot.com/2009/08/sea-change.html
Thursday, August 27, 2009. Fall creeps slowly toward the Pacific Northwest. The shadows grow longer and show themselves earlier, and though most days are still pretty hot, the nights have been getting downright chilly. I'm still doing some part-time work on the side while successfully avoiding getting a day job. Texas and I aren't friends anymore, and that's probably a permanent situation, unfortunately. But life goes on. My mother asked me, Is this a sea change or just cold feet? At this point I don't k...

Melissa Travels: Melakwa Lake
http://melissa-travels.blogspot.com/2009/07/melakwa-lake.html
Monday, July 20, 2009. Last Tuesday Sadie and I hit the trail for a day hike to Melakwa Lake. I'd wanted to do an overnight trip, but the weather turned to poop and Sadie fell ill for a couple days (she's fine now), so I decided a day hike would be more prudent. I know people who do this hike every year, but this was my first time. And dammit if it didn't show me how out-of-shape I have become! What a smart dog. And good for something, which is nice to find out. Heading up the trail. Its not just you, th...
