need another vacation

time flies.  i've already been back from vacation for more than 2.5 weeks and i feel like i could already use another break.  how does that happen?  i only work 3 or 4 twelves per week and already, i want more time off.  do all adults feel this way?  is constant vacation the only way to be happy?  better not be the case because the way i see it, at almost 33 years old, i have at least 30 more years of work ahead.  good god.  that seems a bit depressing.

since i never shared any photos from my trip to guatemala, let me do that.  this trip was not health related.  i did NO volunteer work.  i didn't save any children.  or cure cancer.  i didn't even build houses.  i simply toured all the sites, went to church on palm sunday, witnessed jesus parades for easter week, and enjoyed my boyfriend.  we went to tikal to see ancient mayan ruins.  and to lake atitlan for a hippy retreat off the grid (that means they used only solar power and our shower was frigid).  we spent only one day doing nothing - sleeping in, taking naps, and eating street food.  it was divine.  all of it.  guatemala.  cole (hospital hunk).  adventure.

without further ado...
