False Alarm

Okay so some good news:

While we still have not (and probably never will) discovered what happened to our box, we did discover that the box did in fact contain only groceries. The DVD Player and stuff that we thought were in the stolen box was discovered this evening, buried at the bottom of a larger box. So....WHEW. And it's actually a good thing that we had the box taken b/c there is seriously no more room in the kitchen. I've got things stashed in such weird places....this apartment has several good qualities, but storage space is not one of them. Suck job.

Also, Michael had to call the police today while I was trying to take a nap. Apparently we are (literally) the ONLY Americans who live in this apartment complex, and some of the neighbors were hosting the running of the bulls in the apartment above us. There was seriously banging and stomping and running sounds (the kind that were making our light fixtures shake) for about 6 hours. The cop was really nice, but basically said, "Yeah, get used to it." He wasn't a dick, he was just very straightforward (as most people up here are). Told Michael he could tell we were nice people but that we didnt' exactly pick the nicest place to live (duh). He also said, "Make sure you keep an eye on your wife and don't let her walk around by herself after dahk (dark)." hahaha. Note to self: buy can of mace for keychain.

So, it's still one adventure after another. But I've been walking my ass off, so hopefully I'll be looking pretty hot by Christmastime! :)
