Sunday... Day of Rest?

This weekend is a bit blurry for me. I know what I did, but I can't recall which days I did it on. We got a notice that it's the time of year for brush and bulky item trash pickup again. Saturday I spent a few hours pushing everything out of the garage onto the curb. That was fun... NOT. I still want to go through the shed in back. We have until the 28th to do it. Already the neighborhood vultures have picked certain items from my pile. The vacuum cleaner that didn't work and the garage door opener that didn't work are examples, and also a rotten door frame. Why people take these things is beyond my comprehension, but the vacuum lasted maybe an hour. I'd like to see someone try and take that homemade ferret cage. I brought in my 0-3mos baby clothes too. I almost forgot how tiny babies are! Here's my pretty trash pile and my pretty garage.

We went and saw Shrek the Third on Sunday. It was so funny! I was happy to get out and do something remotely adult-like. I would have gone to see that movie even if I didn't have Noah. I love kid movies. They're clean and fun and very artistic. Yesterday and today I've been extremely tired and lazy. It hit me last night that I may be getting a little anemic so I took some Blackstrap Molasses (which provide 70% DV of iron per TBSP and don't cause constipation like iron pills). I feel better today than I did yesterday, but I'm still wore out. Coffee isn't working, sleep isn't working... it must be the iron, right?! I'll probably be OK tomorrow after a few more doses of the molasses. Noah's been bored I'm sure. He found my Germany beanie hat today and insisted on wearing it during naptime and almost the entire rest of the day. It was very humid outside so when the hat finally came off he was all gross and sweaty and swirly, but happy. He looked so cute :) It even matched his outfit. He just loves hats! Time for more molasses and then SLEEP. I hereby swear I will not get sucked into stupid sitcom reruns and just go to sleep by 11.

Oh I almost forgot... our friend Kevin called with some promising contact info for Josh. We might be getting some actual dates on his class and moving :O I'm not holding my breath, but I'm really glad to have another venue to try our luck!

Hi Allie - Hey, you've been doing the turn-the-computer-off thing too! It was kind of hard at first, but I've really been getting a ton done - sounds like you have too.

I hope you hear soon about the dates you're waiting for...

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...
