Lazy Thursday and The Empire Strikes Back

We returned from Sorrento yesterday and decided to make this a day of rest. We woke up around noon and shuffled around the house, making a little breakfast and coffee. I worked on some homework and Laura played on her computer. We finally got out of the house and went shopping in Pozzuoli. First we stopped at a record and sound system store, which I am convinced was a shop selling stolen goods. I told Laura and she said it wasn't, but I told her it's not normal to sell items without the box. Almost every item in that store was out of the box and "used", but I digress. We stopped by the supermarket called Conad that's near my house and picked up some groceries.

When we got home, we chilled some Prosecco and Laura made a cheese and crackers plate for us. We sat on the balcony and watched the sun set behind the hills of Bacoli, talking about the past week and how much fun we had.

After that, Laura prepared dinner and we decided to watch Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Laura has never (I repeat, NEVER) seen Star Wars (any of them) so we started last night with Star Was: A New Hope. I was so excited and basically explained the entire movie to her as we were watching it. She asked me how I knew so much about the movie, and I told her it's because I've watched it a thousand times. Basically, I was saving her 10,000 hours of viewing time. No biggie. She loved it and we are about to go to sleep. We are going to a barbeque tomorrow with some friends from work, and Laura baked a cake so it's probably going to be amazing. Technically I baked it, but she supervised. Anyway, goodnight!

Building a table

So these are some of the things I do all day while I'm home alone when Kyle has to work. I usually go down to the corner cafe then go over to the markets and get what I need for dinner that night or any other random things we seem to need. If its not raining I'll go walk around the neighborhood and get lost and find my way back. This all needs to be done before 1 or 2 because thats nap time over here for everyone. All the shops close up for a few hours and go have huge lunches then sleep till its time to open up again for the evening. So today I built a table during those hours! Kyle bought this table from the NEX (the Navy Exchange on base) because the table he had barely fit the two of us, let alone a crowd if he ever had one. Plus his kitchen is big enough and he had gift cards so might as well! They delivered it around 9am and just put it in the kitchen then left. So it was up to us to build it. Well that was a bigger task than I expected when I started opening up the box....

Last night

This is the last night I'll spend in my bed! Tomorrow night I'll be sleeping on a plane for 11+ hours and then the night after that will be the start of my nights of sleep in Italy! It has been quite the intense week with preparing as well as seeing people before I leave. I just saw the whole LCAD gang again one last time tonight which was was awesome! Soooo good seeing Dana too =) I think I'm all packed and ready! Well I know I'm ready that's for sure but as for packed, well we shall see once I get there what I forgot! I did have to pack a carry on which I was trying to avoid. It seems like I will be carrying all this onto the plane with me! Yay!! That's what I get for packing my suitcase over 50lbs oh well. ♥ Mae

Our Christmas

I still had a secret Kyle didn't know about, the hotel Christmas, and he was about to find out. When we were waiting in line for a cab, I pulled out the room key that was in an envelope and gave it to him. He was very confused but I said just be patient. After dealing with out stupid cabbie we made it to the hotel. I didn't need to check in since I already had. I was do excited in the elevator I still couldn't contain myself I wanted to show him his surprise so badly! Once we got to the room he saw the sign on the door and I explained that since he couldn't be here for Christmas, I made it for us! He loved everything! I showed him around the whole place and everything that I had done. Our cute little christmas tree! Loaded baked potato soup with strawberry mango sangria and cute straws to match! The first thing he wanted to do was to have me open my present but I told him to wait. He wanted to take it out of his suitcase at the airport an have me open it he w...
