Random Observations and Experiences

Saturday I learned how much I can buy from the store and actually walk home with.
It's about 3 bags.
So, even going to the grocery store takes more thought (at least when I'm going alone and walking).

Lightswitches are not "chest level". The light switches in my building are about mid thigh level.

Temper tantrums sound the same in every language. It was a happy moment for me when I heard a child throwing a tantrum because I knew exactly what was going on! :)

Kinkoman brand soy sauce costs about $10.

I got a microwave/oven.

Internet is coming soon! The men came to work on it, but had trouble getting on the roof. The fact that they came and tried gives me great hope....SOON SOON SOON my friends.

Daddy says he pays about $10 for a gallon of soy sauce and a bottle is probably a bit under $2. It's a joy to watch and listen to children everywhere. I'm always thrilled when I wake up and read a blog or an e-mail from you. Thrilled Mom!
Make a list of all sorts of things you want/need and maybe between all of us we can get them sent or send you money.

Huh. I pretty much don't think at all when I go to the grocery store. I just walk from one side of the store to the other and get what I need as I go. Sometimes it's 2 bags, sometimes 8. You never know. Just be careful going alone, babe. I worry sometimes.

The whole temper tanrum thing is so true. I hear it almost everytime I go to a store. A tantrum pretty much sounds the same in every culture.

Is that soy sauce $10 U.S. or Armenian? That's crazy stuff!!!

Now that you have a microwave you can have Hot Pocket..... if you can find them. :)

I hope the internet happens soon. I'd like to be able to keep in touch easier.

I hope your Sunday was wonderful.

Your notes made me happy. When you need to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, do you have trouble finding the light switch? I know I would! We love you and think of you often!
