I'm headed back to West Africa at the end of the week to finish out the year there. It has been a relaxing but definately surreal vacation. It still seems strange every day when I can turn on the water and drink it out of the tap. Of course it is really cold right now so that does lend to an air of reality. :) I also need to go back on the African diet... the sweets here just kill you. My mom has 3 cakes, fudge, nuts, candy, and an assortment of chocolate and cookies on the table. I cant handle it. When it takes a real effort at home to come up with any one of these things and I rarely see them for weeks at a time and then have them all offered up at once... it is just too much. I did pack my bags full of a few goodies... M&Ms which were created for hot seasons (And my dutiful friend NEVER sent to me in the past 18 months) and then new Kissables... I think they will make wonderful chocolate chip cookies for the kids... without all the mess of a melted chocolate mass. Dad's also working on homemade Jerky cause he is worried about my protein intake. (and I dont blame him) which is why I have several things of sausage packed in my bags. :)
Other than that I just want to know what is the stupid deal with the Ipods??? I got one for christmas and I learn after the fact that I can NOT download new music to it unless I use the original computer I started using. HOW am I supposed to do that when I am traveling all the time... and who has 30G extra on their laptops to just leave the ITunes set???? ABSURD!!! (Especiall since I will not be taking my laptop with me!)
