I agree with some of the comments…why don’t they just fix vista.
Cold, Gas, and Heat
If you haven’t heard, Russia and Ukraine are having a disagreement about natural gas . In and of itself, that isn’t so bad; however, it has caused Europe to lose pressure in the piplines. I don’t know the ins and outs of the argument, so I won’t comment on that. But…just in case you have seen this….
Parts of Eastern Europe (Serbia included) are also severely affected. Especially after Russia quit sending (or Ukraine quit transporting) gas through Ukraine. Some countries (Serbia included) have only a small amount of reserves left.
I just wanted to let everyone know that Cyndi and I are still warm. We don’t have gas heat (only electric) so depending on what happens, we might or might not be affected. My guess is, at the worst, we’ll have rolling blackouts…who knows. We’ll keep everyone updated though.
But, while you are thinking about people on Christmas (you did know that Orthodox Christmas was today, right??), remember that some people now depend on natural gas for their heating needs.

Pictures
Guys, I haven’t had a chance to blog (actually, I didn’t take time over Christmas). So, I thought I’d pull a few pictures from our photostream and show them to everyone. Here you go:
|
Twizzlers for Christmas. AWESOME! |
| Hershey Kiss Peanut Butter Cookies. You know, I always thought they baked with the kiss on them. Don’t laugh…I thought it was something special to do with the kiss. Why else use them? |

Lydia really loves her crayons! |
| I really like my peanut butter trees! |  |

| The fisher price nativity scene | But the wise men haven’t left the east yet. So, they are way over on the TV…it is “eastish” as you look at the room. Remember…they didn’t show up until Jesus was 2ish. |

Our tree…all lit up. |

Merry Christmas!
Great Quote…but Had To Be There
“Do you have any iDEA how to get to DIS Store?”
–overheard on a recent trip to Belgrade
Programming
“I can’t even get Richard the third to move…. My game is NIBBLES with the text changed.” Hillarious!
Sloppy Joe Mix
Sloppy Joe mix. I like the kind in a can; however, tomato sauce is easy to come by here so the powdered kind that takes up less space is just as good.
[Update 2012-12-26 10:17:29] I’ve come to really like the McCormic brand that I link to on Amazon.
Vienna Sausages
Lydia loves Vienna Sausages. Plain.
[Update 2012-12-26 10:19:12] I doubt you’ll get these into the UK. And Lydia doesn’t like them as much now…but I still do.
