200!

Post #200 on my new(ish) blog = a free title when I otherwise can't think of one.

Tonight we officially unpack our bags and buy groceries and settle into life again. Two days, it took us TWO DAYS to recover. But mostly because Nolan is a baby when he's sick (just kidding, N!...sort of.), and insisted that he was too sick to stay up and unpack...but had enough energy to catch up on our tv shows and harass me for a massage. Hhh. So: tonight.

Also I've had issues lately with losing things. But not in the normal way; instead I have, in fact, done such a great job of hiding my valuables, that I have hidden them from myself. Like a huge roll of cash (all of my Europe money) that I hid safely while we were abroad so that I didn't have to carry it in my purse all the time and risk it being snatched. Which reminds me: I had two maps stolen out of my backpocket while there. TWO. Both of which were grimy and all crinkly, to which I say, "Take that, pickpockets. I hope you wept of disappointment." Anyway: when we got to Holland, I finally confessed to Nolan that it was missing, though I didn't tell him how much because I was embarrassed as it was, eeek. So we were sad about it and he kept teasing me about losing stuff, and I was secretly hating the French again because I was sure our French maid who came into our room had stolen it out of my suitcase. And then on the plane when I got out my travel pillow: BAM. A wad of cash rolled out. Turns out that WAS a fabulous hiding spot, because it took me DAYS to unearth it. Example number 2: my mom's car keys (sorry Mom!). We had to move the car for streetcleaning last night, and couldn't find the keys. Nolan had moved it last, so I was harassing him about losing them and feeling irritated, when I decided to randomly admire earring collection in my jewelry box and: BAM. All of a sudden I remember taking them from him before we left and putting them in a safe place. Needless to say I'm still feeling a little...sheepish. And I just realized I have to find new safe spots now that I've shown mine to the world. Hello world.
