paige's reappearance

you may have wondered where i've gone. first, shortly after my last post (november 4th) phil came home. that's enough explanation in and of itself, but immediately following his homecoming i landed myself in a 2-week long workshop (10 hours 6 days a week). then, not wanting to create excuses i swear, the fact of the matter is life here is becoming...everyday. i hate to admit it, but i'm starting to forget (overlook?) what's new and interesting and unusual because it's starting to be the day-to-day. i want to keep blogging on a regular basis, i really do. both as a record for myself and as a way to stay connected with friends and family back home. it's going to take work, though. my goal is to post 1x per week. hold me to it. if i slack, i'm sorry. 101paige 101africa
