This is what our apartment feels like this morning... our A/C went out late last night so we awakened in a pool of sweat... the joys of a Texas summer...
I heart skype right now... so much! having mom and dad leave for libya last week has been such a sad, stressful, overwhelming change. I haven't even really known what to think or feel about it. We have known for several months that it was a possibility that they would move and for several weeks that they were really going, but for some reason it just didn't sink in until they were on the plane and gone... I mean Africa??! Who's parents move to Africa? I'm finding out now, that more people than you would think have moved abroad especially recently when jobs in the U.S. have been few and far between. Anyways, skype has been giving me the precious and miraculous ability to "see" my mom and dad from so far away. Even though I can't pick up the phone to chat whenever I feel like , in some way, being able to see their faces and new guesthouse room while we're talking almost makes up for it. Whoever created this amazing program... THANK YOU! A million times! I want to give you a kiss on the face! Now if only I could figure out a way to find a job in Africa or Southern Italy so that the miles between would be a little less... love love, ab
Hey lovelies... for any of who are waiting on word about my Mom & Dad's arrival in Africa here's a little update...
They left on Monday afternoon and headed to London for a short layover before their flight to Tripoli Libya.
We have heard that they arrived safety, but their luggage has not appeared yet. It probably did not make it through customs in London fast enough to get aboard their next flight, so hopefully it will be arriving sometime today. My Dad now has a company computer that they will be able to use for checking and sending emails and hopefully talking via Skype for now. So go ahead and email them if you get a chance, I know they'd love to hear from you. You can email me too, if you need more info. Love to you all! AB
this movie is killing me... ryan sent me a text to the trailer last week and we've been dying to see it. It seems like a tribute to our lives right now in some way. Hopefully it will live up to my hopes. Ryan is away, backpacking in Colorado this week and low and behold, I got tickets to the free screening for last night... ah! I almost, almost went without him, but being the sweet wife that I am (wink) I'm waiting for him to get home... I'm not really the patient type, so i feel fairly sacrificial about it... hehehe... anyways, it looks lovely, I can't wait to see it. Enjoy... amb
p.s. don't you just LOVE jim from the office?? I heart him a lot...
Right now I'm completely loving the sweet drawings by fifi lapin! I discovered them through the Kindred website which has great free wallpaper downloads for your desktop. Its a great project in and of itself, but after downloading the wallpaper by Fifi Lapin, I just had to go take a peek at her blog! I am mesmerized by this collection of cool, sweet sketches of fifi and her crew. Take a looksie for yourself! Here are a few for your viewing pleasure!
Just tried out this totally fun photo editing site called picnik as recommended by EZ from creaturecomforts... Its a great, and super easy way to edit pictures, crop corners, and "cutsy-fy" then for blog presentation. I've really been wanting to update the blog with a new header, new layout, and possibly switch over to wordpress finally so that I can upload larger images and collage type files. This program may be just what I need to push me over the edge. I'll upload a cute pic of Dylan I took with my phone at the grocery store a few months back... would you ever think this came off of a phone? I didn't think so! I think you should give it a try yourself for free here.
