You are doing amazing!! (I hope no one saw you take the camera in the bathroom...people will be taling for days! lol! Your poor dad, maybe sting rays are like bees and die after they sting you. Have a great trip!

[youwantgeek]

LOL, I hope those suckers die afterwards but I don't think they do :( Oh gosh...I did that on Saturday so there were no other women here except me thankfully haha. That would have been hard to explain!

[bobosmomma]

I'm still going to use the big stall because i get claustraphobic in them tiny stalls!

[youwantgeek]

LOL, true that! I feel a little crowded in them, too.

[myRNYJourney]

Congrats Jamie, keep it coming !

[youwantgeek]

[psychash]

You look so amazing! I can't wait until I can get into a regular bathroom stall!Your poor dad.

[youwantgeek]

Thank you so much! You'll get there and you'll love every minute of it :)

[MissJanieHere]

stingrays...yikes! you look fabulous by the way and I can't wait to see you again in March...just a few more weeks...! hugs,jane

[youwantgeek]

Thanks Janie :) Can't wait to see you, too! I hope we can talk some more. Not too much longer now..

[katiejuly]

Your dad and his stingray is just like you and your scorpion!!! I wonder if the hotel staff is all trained to be like 'nope, that's never happened!' but really it's every other weekend some freaky animal attack. LOVED the vid of you in the bathroom - you're too cute!

[youwantgeek]

Hey Katie! Ugh, I know! OMG I never even thought of that. You're right...I bet they're supposed to be like "oh, no...that NEVER happens...come back really soon!" but it's happening left and right..some sort of conspiracy. Can't wait to meet you in March!

[bratlee2u]

You look amazing. I am with you on the handicapped stall. It is nice to fit in the "normal" stall.

Sting Rays and Scorpions. What is it with you and your family and encountering these things in Mexico? I hope you and your family have a fun and pain-free time in Mexico. Hugs!

[youwantgeek]

Britlee I miss you! I don't know...I guess we're just unlucky. Or maybe we're lucky...because if my teeny tiny girlfriend would have been stung by that scorpion maybe she would have died. Same thing with my dad-maybe he got stung so my mom wouldn't. Shrug. I guess we'll never know ;) See you soon girl!

[Fabydee]

Jaimie you are looking great! OMG your poor dad I'm surprised he even wants to go back there. Have a great trip, can't wait to see the footage from Mexico... :) Fab

[youwantgeek]

Hey Fab! Thanks so much. I know, he's stubborn...he's not going to let some stupid sea creature keep him from snorkeling. Thanks for your support! Can't wait to see you again :)

[ThatzHotxoxo]

lookin great Jamie, I wish i could go to mexico!!! you lucky bum! dude i hope they gave your dad some sorta comp at the hotel for that stingray incident. 6 months to heal..man that sucks and right on the bottom of the foot. zoinks! - Becca

[youwantgeek]

Becca how's it going?! I know, I'm totally lucky! They didn't comp him but I don't think he expected it, either :( So me AND my dad were in the hospital in Mexico that night LOL. Zoinks is right! So how are you? Haven't seen you around lately ;)

[ThatzHotxoxo]

It's goin', just havent had anything new to vlog about haha man i lead a boring life haha ya so ive just been watchin videos and stuff. i made a couple new ones.

[soon2belessofme]

You look awesome! I still have a hard time to wrap my head around some things that I can do now that I couldn't before surgery. I still find myself going to the handicap stall, looking for the large gap to walk through, etc. Have a great time in Mexico. I

[youwantgeek]

Thank you! I know what you mean...it's sooo strange the things we couldn't do before and now can that affect us daily. AHH! The large gap! My sister is skinny and she and I were maneuvering through a restaurant and I stopped myself a couple of times thinking I wouldn't fit through the "small gap" but I did! That's so funny you said that ;) Thanks for the well wishes!

[MySilentSerenity]

LOL so sounds like my father. He has the worst luck as well. Whenever he gets really excited about somthing somthing goes wrong!

[youwantgeek]

Oh no! There's 2 most unlucky men in the world. Your dad and my dad should stay away from each other then! Who knows what would happen if they got together...apocalypse!?!? I'm just sayin'...hehe.

[MySilentSerenity]

LOL. At least I know not to take him to Mexico and Put him in the Ocean. I just know he'd find your dad's sting ray.

[youwantgeek]

HAHA, totally!

I think its a great idea! stuff that we dreamed of doing, we now seem to take for granted. that was a funny tale about your dad!! hey have fun in mexico!! keep your windows closed because its chupacabra season there now!! or pick up some chupacabra spray at the drugstore when you get there!! just a little saftey tip from your ol' pal =)

[youwantgeek]

Howdy Mark!  I know...I don't want to take anything for granted! I want to enjoy and reflect on everything. OH NO NOT CHUPACABRA!!! I hear garlic works?! Is that true!?!?
