What's up with Elisabeth & George?: Where did I get my herbs?

Where did I get my herbs?

Oops! Sorry people! Forgot to link the place where I bought my beautiful herbs and spices. It's called Mountain Rose Herbs. I heard about them through Monica, who has bought through them for a while. I have bought stuff from them twice. They're pretty good, but I did have a little 'moment' with their customer service rep recently. The wording on their bulk discounts is a little less than explicit. Apparently it's only good when you order multiple 1lb bags of various things. Anyway, I had been sucked into this huge order because of it, but then when the discount didn't appear I contacted them and they told me I'd misinterpreted the discount. So I was a little annoyed, I provided some feedback, and they weren't very receptive. Ah well.

I don't think any experience is perfect, is it?

How we're doing right now.

April 6th, 2009
Oh man, moving back home has been quite a transition! For Regin especially. It has taken him three months to return to being fully, or almost fully, potty trained. But we're home and happy to be with friends and in an environment where things are easier.

But of course, not everything is easier. George's first day back to work he learned that the company was exiting the business and he and all the other people that work on that product (including all those people he trained in Penang) were told to look for other jobs.

His last day was March 31st. No time for that cozy little 'sabbatical' though; after he finished his last day of work, his family called and told us they are coming (from Florida) for a visit on the 10th! This would be no big deal (other than being terribly exciting) if we were fully moved back in, but of course, until now, we've had VERY little motivation to fully unpack! So now we're preparing the house at warp speed!

You know, I do miss Penang. Hard to say what I miss exactly, because I know it's more than our friends there, but I feel a certain pang. And all the time we were there, other than missing family, friends, easy living, and snow, I never once actually missed 'Colorado.'

When we got back to Colorado, I expected to have a new and complete love for the place. I do appreciate some things a lot more, especially visual things. I see beauty where I didn't before. But it hasn't been the feeling of home that I expected, and I still have some of the same issues with the place. But what I do love IMMENSELY and will always love IMMENSELY is the people we have here. And it's been absolutely amazing to see how Regin has picked right back up where he left off with his loved ones here. There's no doubt in my mind that he somehow remembers them.
