MacBook 2, Laura 0

Technology has not been my friend today. I guess by technology, I mean my beloved MacBook. For whatever reason, my c.d. drive has not been working well since I got in country. It sounds like it's going to take off  flying around the room anytime I put in a dvd. Then it starts to play whatever it is that I want to watch, and then after about 10 minutes, completely shuts down. It's poopy. Oh, and my battery went out. The only time my stinking computer will work is when it's plugged in.  I guess I'll have to take it to Apple whenever I get to come home for leave and have them fix it and buy a new battery. 

I've also been doing something pretty neat for Daniel's birthday, but every time I try to order it, it takes forever to load. Thanks for crappy internet, Afghanistan. His birthday is in 4 days!

Anyway, I have compiled a list of things that I can ALWAYS use in Afghanistan. I've had numerous people ask what I would like/need and I can never think of them when they ask. So if you feel the tug on your heart to send me fun stuff, here's a list!
