KENDRA VS. THE VOLCANO

Makin' and doin' for a big parcel swap. One lucky stranger in the UK is going to be the recipient of fancy tubes full of goodies and a triceratops made out of tape.

It’s embarrassing how many times I thought to myself, “Oh wow this glue stick glides on so easily for being so old” and “I’m so glad I keep all my art supplies together in one spot” and “That’s weird, glue stick shouldn’t seep through the paper” before I realized it was sunscreen. Just wow.

Long stopovers are the perfect opportunity to hang out and have airport beers with coworkers from abroad that you haven't seen in about eight years.

BIRTHDAY GREETINGS

This is my family in 2005. I keep this uncomfortable picture on the bulletin board in my office not because it's a nice picture but to remind me what a hilarious debacle having a family photo done was. My dad is cursing under his moustache because he hates smiling. My mom is cursing because no one is taking it seriously. My brother and I are in hysterics because the photographer is trying to use puppets to get dad to smile. My brother has dad's glasses from 1987 in his pocket and puts them on without anyone noticing. Mom's mad we can't have a barefoot photo because my feet are covered in bloody cuts from new flip flops. Makes me laugh every time. Puppets though, puppets.
