minty fingernails and things to do so that you don't notice that you're sweating.

When Paige came to visit, she brought along the most fantabulous mint green nail polish.  It has gotten quite a few rave reviews here in Cambodia and therefore I like to pretend that it would garner the same attention in America.  

Most especially I love how my minty green nails contrast against the glossy black finish of a Canon Rebel DSLR.  Oh, how my minty green fingernails possess the fantastic power to press that shutter button so firmly!  Oh, how these minty green fingernails...

Nevermind. It was getting kind of creepy there.

I spent two days stealing around with a friend's camera. And I loved it.

I LOVE it.

I always knew I was meant to do this.

To use these minty green fingernails to take pictures with a camera like this.

This week, Chris made one of our favorite meals here in the 'bode- a delicious chicken, vegetable and rice soup.  He makes a giant batch of it and it lasts us for days.  With some chewy baguettes and water mixed with our new lime drink mix, it's a perfect meal.

This week, the training of new Volunteers comes to a close with their Swearing In.  Our hometown and province will return to us, and it's a bit sad to say goodbye to the hustle and bustle of a busy season and the flurry of new people swirling around.  It's been kind of amazing to be a part of the new group's training and I think I am going to miss being so busy.  I have that procrastinator disease where I'm generally more productive the busier I am - the less I can put off, the better.

I've also spent this week focusing on a new activity that I'm hoping will keep me busy and provide some long term positive effects to boot. I'll share more about that next week.

And it isn't just watching Father of the Bride, Part I and II. Though I did that, and it was fantastic too.

I'm off to peruse Amazon and dream about my future life where I own a beauty just like this, and use it to take fantasmic photos.
