I’d make all sorts of excuses for my absence like, “Oh we spent 2 weeks in France visiting family,” or “Telecom Italia sucks,” or “I started roller skating/roller derby so I’ve been busy and tired,” but they’d all be just that – excuses. (All true, by the way.)

So. Life in Italy. Things have been going along decently well. We’re still waiting on the Italians to decide if we are responsible for paying the fees associated with the towing and impounding of our VW Golf or not so we were down to a 1 car family for a while. Not cool. But that has been fixed! Goose can now scratch, “Own a BMW,” off his bucket list! We now own a 1993 BMW 520i…or something like that. It’s got 4 doors, a working clutch, working brakes, working headlights, and is decent on gas. Oh and didn’t cost an arm, a leg, and your firstborn child like the other beaters on base. SOLD! King Tut especially likes it because it smells like whatever dog the previous owners had so he is quite content to sit and sniff the backseat. Perfect.

I won’t bore all 2.6 of you that read this too much with information overload on my first post back but clearly, I have new things to talk about and pictures to share. Speaking of pictures, they’re annoying me. I’m not crazy about Picasa right now and I can’t find any other photo organization software that I kinda sorta like. Lame. I’d like Picasa a wee bit better if it didn’t continually freeze up my computer. Also lamesauce.

There. Proof of life. The gypsies haven’t stolen me and the food hasn’t put me into a food coma. Yet. There’s always tomorrow I suppose.
