I haven't posted a blog in several weeks only because I, seriously, haven't experienced much to blog about. The school year, for the children, has officially ended in my village. This means more downtime during my days; time to spend with my family, myself, or other PC friends.
There are a number of difficult parts to "PC Life", but one of the most difficult is dealing with friends deciding to go home to America. Our group is slowly getting smaller and smaller, and I was personally effected this past week because a very close friend of mine decided to go home. It was actually bitter sweet. Bitter because I'm loosing someone I've built a bond with and, more than likely, won't see for another two years. But sweet because she is very happy with her decision AND she gave me ALOT of good stuff that she couldn't take home with her. Examples: Microwave Oven!, plastic shelves, canned food, school supplies, DVDs, exstension cords, lifetime supply of baby wipes!, and other things.
The microwave oven is going to completely revolutionize dinner time for me! To be able to bake ANYTHING and EVERYTHING is so exciting for me right now that I'm having a difficult time deciding what to bake first! It also helps that she loved mac n' cheese as much as me, and supplied me w/ enough to feed an army (well....maybe me for a few weeks).
This was the first Thanksgiving in all my twenty-six years that didn't involve turkey, stuffing, ham, candy yams, mashed potatoes, etc. I was, however, able to spend the holiday with other Americans, which is always nice. And for that....I am very thankful.
till next time...
