I'm Back

I'm back in the US. It's nice to be home with hot showers and carpet and my heater. Not to say that I don't miss Sierra Leone, because if I could sell my heater for $3,000 I'd be making a trip back to see Chelsea really soon. [If anyone is interested in a $3,000 heater just let me know. It's an awesome heater!]
I started back at work today. It was great to see everybody. For the first 2.5 hours at work I got to be a completely useless human being and just talk to everybody. Dr. Al even called me up to his office to "have a discussion" which meant talk about the trip. He has even decided that now I should go somewhere in Africa to work- not that I haven't been thinking about it but I didn't even say anything about it. He just started talking about me sending letters to NGOs to see if they need staff and how if you get enough people involved it souldn't be that hard. I think he wants to get rid of me! We even had a party with ice cream and peanut butter cookies and chips & salsa for me coming back. But for my office, we really have parties for EVERY occasion possible. We're having another tomorrow for super/ fat tuesday. It's a fun place to work (but not a good place to be on a diet).
Last weekend, Norm and I went to Milan to the Chow Wagon and the Ritz-3 theatre of course. We saw 27 Dresses. It was pretty good. On Sunday, Norm and I made dinner. She got a cookbook for Christmas that shows you how to sneak veggies into food using pretty much baby food in the recepies. We made chicken nuggets with carrots and sweet potatoes. They were pretty good, but I'm still not so sure what I think about the whole idea of cooking with baby food.
