It's Official

So here i am, sitting on my "new" bed that i will call my own for the next almost-five months.  :)  It was delivered to me yesterday--baby spiders and all!  LOL.  Yes, i  know, "But you are terrified of spiders!" you may say....well, yes, i was terrified of spiders.  But i have found that to be a most inconvenient fear; and i have decided henceforth that i will no longer be terrified of them.  So to all those, who for all those years, answered the cry for help to kill a spider, i am sorry i did not come to this realization more quickly.
Of course i am so grateful for a bed to sleep on!  And i am also stoked because i just got a phone today....unfortunately, now i forgot my SM card in Gniezno!!  Oi!  First no phone and a SM card, now no SM card but a great phone!  Ah well, Wednesday will come soon enough.
Grocery shopping was....FUN!  Trying to figure out the best deals here is nearly impossible for me without having a very good handle yet on the language or the metric system.  It takes three times the effort to understand which item is actually on sale and how much i can actually save and configure in my mind if the price is right because i need to compare it in dollars.  Maybe i should have paid more attention in math classes.  But i got some good stuff.  Fruits and things to make chicken soup, crackers and cream cheese and jam, "manna" and oatmeal, eggs and rice.  They drink a lot of tea here!  Which i love so much.  But not a lot of water, which i do not like so much.  I bought two huge 6 liter things of water today, that i hope will last me the next three days or so.
Today was my first real Sunday and i was introduced to a few new people and got to say hello and mingle with people i have already met.  :)  The message was in Ephesians and Brin showed a video that was very moving. I have seen it before, but a long time ago.  This is the link to the video.  It is really powerful for me.

I was crying.  Yes, I, one of the few girls who doesn't cry in, "The Notebook", cried in church, because of this.  I think that the song that accompanies the skit makes it as moving as it is.  And it is a song i want to reflect my life, "You're all i want.  You're all i need.  You're everything, everything". 
After service, Brooke, Adalyne and I went to lunch before heading to do our grocery shopping and i had the most delicious soups!!!  Bardzo Smaczny!!  The Zurek soup, which is a "traditional Polish sour soup".  It has chunks of sausage in it--like Polish sausage--and it tastes kind of "pickly".  It is VERY delicious; i am sorry i can't describe more competely the flavor.  The second was a mushroom soup!  It's a good thing i am the one person in my family who likes mushrooms, because they are pretty big over here.  And it was so creamy and ....mushroomy.  LOL.  Yeah.... like i said, trying to explain the taste of foods new to me, with nothing similar to compare it to, not so easy.
So a very good day, and looking forward to the next week.  Dobranoc everyone!  (Goodnight!)
