Like, why in the world is every word on blogger in Russian? I took a screen shot just to show you, but since every command on my computer is in Russian, I can't figure out how to show you. I literally spent 30 minutes trying to find the page with the little picture of the pencil, which I am at least bright enough to figure out means, "write a new post"
Like, why cars here literally park any direction and any place the driver wants. They are on the side walk, on the curb, nose to nose. Some diagonal, some parallel. I will eventually get a picture so I can prove it. Not that I will be able to figure out how to post it.
Like, why don't the locals ever slip on the ice? Really, they must be the most sure footed people in the world. I have slipped, luckily not fallen. Jamie has slipped, although he won't admit it and Lily took a full on wipe out yesterday.
Like, why do I look so bizarre on face time? Really, can't we get a more attractive angle?
Really not much to report on today. Got a good night sleep last night, finally! Ventured out to get Lily new boots and to the open market today. Jamie got some more mystery food, Lily, the most beautiful pomegranate I have ever seen. Me, just some fresh, cold air and a little walk. You really can't stay out more than an hour without becoming very, very uncomfortable. And an hour is a stretch. There is no TV where we are staying, kind of refreshing. Although I keep going to Facebook, hoping to connect to home. I got to Skype with my sister today, that was a highlight. Lily has been trying to FaceTime her class but we haven't been able to connect yet. Tomorrow, Emma is swimming at the 4A State Swimming Championships. Sad I can't be there but Annabelle is going with Tommy. If you see her, tell her to kick butt!
Tomorrow we will have to move apartments. I don't like moving, it is so difficult. All the luggage and the whole communication thing. I am sure we will have another good story out of it. But we probably won't have internet for two days. We will be back here on Sunday afternoon. We are going to church on Sunday, can't wait. Then to lunch with an American family stationed here. They have a daughter Lily's age. She is needing some kid time.
That's all...any bets on how long it will take me to get back on here next time?
Dear Degnan family,
ReplyDeleteI was so excited to find out you had a blog. I don't know much about making one, but I sure love reading blogs. You have been on my mind alot, praying that god walks with your family in this journey. I know he will. Markli says to tell Lily "hi"! I will follow your posts and pray for all of you. Stay warm!!! Sorry it's so cold there.

Hi Tiffany,
ReplyDeleteWhen you are in Ukraine often blogger will flip into Russian. Go to your dashboard scroll all the way to the bottom of the screen and the first row of links 2nd to the end click the link that say "язык" this is "Language" in Russian. This will give you a drop down menu of all the different languages almost to the top of this menu you will see American-English, once you select this click the orage box below the menu this will save your setting and flip you back into English. Also look for "язык" on google pages in top right hand corner, at times every page I opened on internet explorer would do this, freaked me out at first too. Hope this is helpful. Praying for your second appointment to go better. Love Aimee
