And was getting super frustrated because I can't blog from my in- law's computers, but here I am at the computer center, raring to go!
So, whats going on! We have been in Orleans for a little more than 2 weeks now, and everything is going great. Janet and Barry are in Germany so Jeff, Sam and I are staying in their house, which means I have use of the kitchen, which is fantastic because I have been cooking and baking a lot! I made whole wheat sourdough bread which was like the bread in "About a Boy" that killed a duck because it was so heavy, and soups and brownies and ginger- molasses cookies... Good times! Janet's kitchen is amazing, and her pantry has everything you could think of- even somethings you can't! I will be reading a recipe and it will call for something like zatar or curry leaves, and I'll get up to look for it, and lo and behold there it is!!
There was a band playing in the tribal center last Saturday night, and we got Sinead and Geena to watch Samwise, and went down to hear some music. It was really well timed because I got to meet alot of people in the community, and also see more freaking hippies in one place since the last dead show I went to.
Jeff and I have the apartment in which we will be staying pretty well set up. He built me some shelves, and it looks pretty serviceable and kind of cute, even though after cooking in Janet's kitchen it will be bittersweet to cook in mine, but I am looking forward to it. Next up is to set up the crib, which I think is tonight, wish us luck.
Now for the only sad news- no CBS, and therefore, no Survivor. Thank heavens for my best friend Justen and his trusty VCR, but I still am going to check out TV without Pity to see hats been happening.
So that's whats up. We are doing well, its beautiful, we take walks all the time, we have family close by, its going to be great. I miss my friends, and my internet, and my shower (it was like Kramer's shower in "Seinfeld", so strong!!) but the positives definitely out weigh the negatives. Ill post pictures soon.
Oh! Funny news. We started feeding Samwise solid food, which I think is way more fun for us than it is for him. He is way more interested in eating his bib then rice cereal or avocado. I am not sure he has actually swallowed anything yet, but we are trying.
I miss and love you all!! E- mail me!!
Cheers.

It's interesting that you say that you've seen more hippie's than at the last dead show you went to, because between last wednesday and friday combined, I've seen more lesbians than at a taping of the Rosie O'Donnell Show. Miss you and think of you often. Love Always, Justen. Cheers! Right?
You sound like you are having lots of fun. I am glad to hear you are adjusting well and enjoying your new surroundings. Wishing you all the best.
