http://iwishiranmore.blogspot.com/2013/02/someone-to-corroborate-my-stories.html
I wish i ran more. Poke around a little. Wednesday, February 20, 2013. Someone to corroborate my stories. A few days after I left the COS conference I again headed to the Entebbe airport, this time to pick up my third visitor in Africa! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

i wish i ran more: Wish List
http://iwishiranmore.blogspot.com/p/wish-list.html
I wish i ran more. Poke around a little. And some form of Harry Potter. This all being said, it still completely. Makes my day to check with the post office and see that Box 81 has something for me in it. I love and miss you all and am so so happy that for the most part we've kept in really great touch (considering I live in a little village in Africa, my hopes were not high). Just so you know, every piece of mail. LETTERS* - if nothing else, please write to me! CDs of new music I'm missing out on. I've ...

i wish i ran more: April 2013
http://iwishiranmore.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
I wish i ran more. Poke around a little. Saturday, April 13, 2013. Since then I've just been hosting a couple of other PCVs, making friendship bracelets, and playing with baby goats. I leave tomorrow morning. I remember my first night here like it was a month ago, it really doesn't seem like this has been two whole years. It's scary how quickly life moves. Thursday, April 4, 2013. No Do I need to wait until I'm completely ready? That kind of momentum is really hard to stop. April 14 - head down to Kampala.

How is 2013, do you have flying cars yet? Would you even know? Have all the world's problems been solved? Did you make it all the way through 27 months? Or, 25 now, at the time I'm writing this. Phew.) If you (I? The theme of this trip wa...

i wish i ran more: Packing List
http://iwishiranmore.blogspot.com/p/packing-list.html
I wish i ran more. Poke around a little. Here goes nothing - no judging. This is by no means. Edit: Eight months in, I want to go through and appraise this list. italicized notes are my thoughts as of now. Edit: Seventeen months in I edited my edits. I seriously would have brought one backpack. Skirts (6) super. i wear them all the time, but half as many would be fine. Shirts (cute ones, and a couple Ts, erring on the side of conservatism - about 15? Way too many, have since given a lot of them away.

i wish i ran more: Loose ends
http://iwishiranmore.blogspot.com/2013/04/loose-ends.html
I wish i ran more. Poke around a little. Thursday, April 4, 2013. Given away, burned, thrown down the latrine, will be packed up in my one little backpack, or left behind for the next inhabitant of the little teal house that somehow became my home over the last two years. Finishing Peace Corps service is strange and I'm at a loss of words for how to describe it. No Do I need to wait until I'm completely ready? That kind of momentum is really hard to stop. April 14 - head down to Kampala. After that I'll ...

I wish i ran more. Poke around a little. Wednesday, August 29, 2012. However, promptly upon adopting her, I had to leave her with some neighbors to go work at Camp GLOW East. The woman I left her with speaks zero English and my Lango is puttering out, but somehow I managed to communicate that I'd return in two (hours? Who knows) and that the bag of fish was for the cat to eat. I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. There is no compass rose! James on the porch of our tent. This was her first trip ou...

http://iwishiranmore.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
I wish i ran more. Poke around a little. Wednesday, February 15, 2012. Life on the equator is still trucking along. This should be some poignant seminal entry about how changed and amazing my life is, but the truth is that my "normal" now is more mundane than not, and it would be disingenuous to tout my life as more than what it is. Basically. It’s hot as all get out and my feet are filthy. Most days I try not to make too many faux pas. I spent last weekend shuttling back and forth around Northern Uganda.

http://iwishiranmore.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
I wish i ran more. Poke around a little. Friday, November 30, 2012. Wait wait, i'm back in Uganda? Girl cat being adorbs. Pistachio pudding pies in lieu of an actual meal. Vera stocking in my favorite colors from Nora :). Cheesecake pudding pie, again in lieu of an actual meal. Saturday, November 24, 2012. There's no such thing as too much pie. I'm thankful I can find apples in Lira. I'm thankful for Jacque who cuts sweet potatoes oh so beautifully, and keeps me sane :). I'm thankful that the kittens hav...
