shout-outs for a sweet surprise

This is one of the best things anyone has sent me since I have been here.

I want to thank Janet and George for sending me this cool collage of old photos. It came int he mail quite some time ago but I only received it last week since it was accidentally put in a different post office box.

From Fun with the Scanner

Oh nostalgia.

I don’t really remember “Jazz on the Green” too well, but I remember having fun there. This picture made my month!!!!!
I’ve received a lot of great things since I have been in Mozambique. Those of you who read this are the same people who have thought to send me little treats or fun things to read or even just a note to say hi. It’s the small things like this photo that really help on days where you want to just hole up in your house and wait for it to be December 2008 already. Thank you to all who have taken the time to write, e-mail or send me anything over the past two years.

 

when i get home…

selfish things i want to do when i get back to the states:

- Make a bacon, tomato and white cheddar grilled cheese sandwich with basil and oregano (or  4)

- See UCF in a bowl game.

- Watch ‘The Dark Knight’…5 times in a row.

- Clean up my Mom’s computer.

- Get a haircut.

- Play with one of those new-fangled Wii’s.

- Hop in a canoe and shove off for a few hours by myself.

- Hop on a bike and reacquaint myself with Sanibel.

- Go to Washington and see Obama’s inaugural parade.

- Of course, see the fam (stops in Ohio, Philly, MD and DC are a must)

I know I’ve been absent from the blog. I have a few photos from the National Cultural Festival which was held in Xai-Xai last week. I am trying to get my 30-second videos that I took up on a site so I can post them here as well. If you have any ideas on where I can do that, let me know.

Mom’s going to be here is T-minus 9 days and counting!!!! Expect some good stories from that. I am hoping to get her to post to the blog while she is here.

Latest plan for post-PC travel: Cape Town/Western South Africa. Fly to Lisbon, wander over to Paris (to see Morgan) then back Stateside. I talk big, so we’ll see how things turn out.
