Think Gilligan with a slightly more varied wardrobe

The Gilligan's Island reference was probably lost on some of you but it fit too much not to use it. It’s no secret that I’ve been known to be a little accident prone and by a little I mean a walking disaster. I’ve actually been really proud of myself in Thailand, no serious injuries, major mishaps, or accidental explosions. However, it wouldn’t be a Colleen trip without a few Gilligan moments. As my dedicated blog followers you get to be the first to hear them.

-Dropping a bottle of electric blue nail polish on my bedroom tile. It shattered. That was fun to clean up.

-Falling approximately 47 times during our trek up the mountain

-Getting pooped on by a hedgehog

-Being seriously overcharged for a scratched watch that is chronically 20 minutes slow

-Accidently dying all of my clothes pink in the laundry. I guess that’s my washing machine’s way of saying it’s time to get in touch with my girly side

-Leaving my helmet upside down in the rain so that it filled to the brim with water. The guys sitting at the restaurant where I parked my bike got a kick out this.

-Shutting my skirt in the car door and not noticing it the entire ride home. It was definitely raining so my skirt was dirty and soaked.

-Buying clothes and then realizing afterwards that they would have probably been too small for me when I was 7

-Nearly flying off the elephant I was riding when he decided he was tired of us and started booking it down a hill

-Forgetting my phone in my bike basket and leaving it there for a good 4 hours. Thanks people of Chiang Mai for not stealing that by the way.

-Hitting my head on all sorts of miscellaneous roofs, walls, and doorways. That’s what I get for being 5’9’’

-Biffing it right in the mud during our service project

Pretty much certain that I’ll have a few more before I head back to the states but that’s what I’ve got so far. J


Resemblance? PS-that shirt was definitely white once upon a time
