|| Well There You Have It ||

I loved the Wizard of Oz when I was younger, but now it just gives me the heebie jeebies. Regardless, I LOVE this wicked witch bookmark. So quirky, funny and just plain cool.

We have a mystery going on over here. THIS hoodie is nowhere to be found. I noticed it was missing in December when we started packing. Jachen had misplaced it once before, but after a week I found it in another area of our large closet. BUT, this time it's missing...we even packed up the whole house and moved and still couldn't find it. What is weird is that we literally never went anywhere. Jachen wore it to work and that is just about the only place. Where could it be? Will we find it? He got that sweatshirt on our honeymoon and he lives in hoodies so I would like to find it. Me oh my.

Did I tell you our apt heating problem is solved? We have ample heating now. Almost too much warmth actually. We leave our new heater on low in our bedroom over night and I always wake up from being too hot and turn it off. Actually, now that I think about it I think we should try sleeping with it off. I try not to turn heat on til about 3 in the afternoon so that it's not on for hours during the day.

So we think the mystery of who lives upstairs is solved. The other morning when Jachen walked out our door to go to work he met the old man who lives upstairs. The old man jibber jabbered to Jachen about some jibber like old men do. But, it's funny because somedays he listens to the funniest euro techno music. So now knowing it's an old man it's funny. I usually hear the beat of the techno, that's about all. In fact, right now I faintly hear some music upstairs, Swiss music...I don't know which is worse techno or Swiss. I need to put on some music to drown it out pronto.

We were without a washing machine for about a week, maybe even a little over a week. The pipes froze because it was deathly cold in Switzy. Finally last night we were able to do a load of laundry that seriously was piling up. I can't wait til the day, someday, we own a WORKING washer and dryer IN our home.

Our new favorite meal, that I have made twice now lately is Cabbage Patch soup. Yum. I made it once in college, but I grew up eating it when my mom would make it. So it was Jachen's first try and he loves it. Well, he is actually the easiest eater so of course he would like it. I make a big batch and it lasts us 3 meals. I love making meals that lasts several meals and luckily both of us can eat things multiple times and not get sick of it.

Do I want to wash that large pile of dishes in the sink? No. But I will. On mornings that we both shower, there isn't enough hot water to wash dishes and so those dishes on that day add up. Lame sauce.

So you know how my ring is this pretty aquamarine color, well supposed to be at least? It is full on green now...which means I seriously need to get it cleaned. I don't even like to wear it these days. Luckily I have my sweet little heart wedding band to save the day.

Are you watching Parenthood? You better, if not. But how much do you love the love relationship btwn Amber and Bob?? OH my. That is all I want to see! I sure hope it works out for them.

I feel like I sound like a broken record, but I am SOOO over this winter. So, so ready for spring and summer. I don't even care right now how cute boots and scarves are...I have had it with winter!

I may have said this before, but I want to bring it up again. Several times a week I dream about either being late for a class, not knowing where a class is, forgetting about a class that I missed several classes of and was now super behind in OR forgetting to do a major class assignment. These dreams are very stressful and I wake up a little bit worried, but then force a reminder that I graduated. I finished. It's not real. It is this really weird feeling and without fail every time I have one of these dreams I feel the stress and worry so real while dreaming not just after. Or at least it feels that way. I don't like it.

I really love this show.

I can't wait to go back here this summer.
