Trying to Get Settled

Our house is still in disarray, but getting better daily. I got a new desktop! It's a Mac G4 and I LOVE it. Would you believe we found it at Goodwill?! I am still getting used to using a Mac instead of a PC, but it's not too much of an adjustment since it came with OSX. I can't wait to try out all the little "i" applications. I've already added everyone to my address book.

We also had to get new phones. Soon I will be sending out the "we've moved" cards with all the info on them. I'm having some trouble trying to get access to my photos since they're on an external hard drive that was formatted for a PC. I also have no photo editing program to resize with anymore... for now. Pics will just have to wait even longer... sorry guys.

I've started a little exercise routine despite the need to clean and organize this place. I can already feel the burn. Hopefully, I will shed this baby belly quick because I miss my jeans! I have a grand total of 2 pairs that fit me without squeezing all my flab out into a spare tire.

The house is almost off our hands. We've got a contractor working on it and the insurance check is here so everything should work out just fine. OK I feel guilty for sitting here when there's so much work to be done.

Yay for the Mac! Mark & I both love Mac's.
I think getting rid of the belly after baby #2 is the hardest part! I really have some work ahead of me too. We can do it!

Very bad day today

I got a horrible phone call early this morning from someone I used to work with. A friend of mine, who was stationed in Iraq, was killed yesterday in her sleep when her trailer was hit. SGT Trista Moretti was an amazing person. She had an impact on so many lives in so many places. It's going to be tough for everyone (like me) who can't make it to Jersey to say goodbye. I've been crying off and on all damn day. It seems so unfair. I hate this war and don't agree with it, but I don't think she died in vain. She died for everyone else out there. They fight for each other, not a cause, not their government. That's what I miss about the Army. I miss my comrades. Trista was hilarious and beautiful and had this great Jersey accent. We used to play word games and gossip and eat lunch together every day. We would laugh all day long while we "worked" haha. I remember when she first got to the unit I told everyone some bitchy chick with an accent was in the...

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...

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...
