Never Never Land

i was sent this link quite some years ago by my favorite cousin, how she found it i have no idea, and in cases like these probably best not to ask. but however it was, she kindly then forwarded it on to me. and now i in turn feel that it's only right to share the peter pan man with those of you who have not yet met him. there's many excellent pictures and apparently he creates music as well. i haven't been able to listen to any as my computer is not allowing me to, and i don't know enough about computers to know if it's mine computer or his that's not functioning correctly.

in other news, i leave tomorrow for Ecuador. i'll be gone for 2 weeks but i'm sure i'll have plenty of stories on my return. i promised my manager at work that i would kind of journal my medical mission trip so that they could print it up in a newsletter at the hospital. makes me feel a little like a nerd or a suck-up. but i'm hoping if i do this then it will make it easier to gather supplies from the hospital throughout the year to send down to Ecuador later on.

that said i still need to pack, currently i have everything piled on the floor of my bedroom. now i need to sort through that and decide what actually should be packed and what should not. i mean, i know what i need for the week we're out in the jungle but then what? my friend and i haven't even decided where we're going after we get back to Quito so i don't know what kind of clothes to bring. and i don't want to be that girl that brings her entire closet for a 1 week visit. although to be honest, i am that girl. and i should probably clean my apartment before i leave too. and i have some last minute things to buy, like i want to bring cartoon band aids down with me for the kids because it really sucks to have to get a shot but if you can put an Elmo band aid on it after it somehow makes everything alright. and trust me, even Guatemalan children in third world countries feel the same way.
