What a beautiful morning. The sun is finally back… which is kind of ironic after I learned from the news yesterday that it had been raining for days in Bavaria and that Garmisch-Partenkirchen [where my dear friend Susi lives] is flooded and totally insulated. I totally freaked out and called her to make sure she’s ok. Fortunately, she is fine and her apartment didn’t get flooded either, but I talked to her on the phone today and she said that she had never experienced anything like that! She lives near the river Partnach that was partly responsible for all the water in the city. It’s kind of scary to think that water can have such powers! :( On Monday, I was kind of lazy. I didn’t do much at all. I played tennis with my sister in the afternoon and then watched her match against one of her teammates. Unfortunately she lost :(
Yesterday, my cousin Nicki picked me up at 1:30 p.m. and we went to a tattoo studio where she had her tattoo finished. She decided to get this huge tattoo on her back, reaching from her right shoulder down to her left hip. I personally would never get a tattoo. I wouldn’t necessarily say that I think it’s ugly, in fact, I really liked the motif that she picked out. I just can’t imagine having a tattoo myself.
Afterwards we went to her place and then my sister and my Mom joined us for a “Tupperabend” where someone comes to your house and presents tupperware®. I had never been to any kind of these home sales events :) but it was kind of funny and we also received a gift for free. So it was worth it *lol*
Enjoy the nice day, girls!
Edited: I should have mentioned that I didn’t buy anything (I think that stuff is way too expensive, too!), but the free gift was nice :)

August 24, 2005 at 4:50 amgood to hear susi’s okay. hopefully it really is getting better now down there and the damage isn’t too horrible… the weather’s just all screwed up and it’s probably our own fault after what we’ve been doing to nature over the years… :(i’ve been to one tupperware-party before. it’s one of those things every woman should probably do once in her life. but i’m done after this one time. it was okay, the free gift was fine [ven though i gave it away] but the stuff is just way to expensive and one can only use so many tupperware-containers anyway… ;-) :-D you enjoy the :sunny: day, too. isn’t it awesome??? i love it :-D and do you think we’ll be able to manage a chat before you take off again?? just call me any time you feel like it, okay?

August 24, 2005 at 6:05 am?:wave: sweetie,
i am glad that your friend is ok down there. it is really freaking scary with the weathercircumstances down there. i remember how it was in the east 3 years ago. and one day we had this much rain in siegen,too. and our salon was flooded, too. you can’t imagine how fast water comes and how much it rouines and how much power it has. you can run away from fire but not from water.
welcome to the circle of tupperware woman. i still don’t like all of it. but a few things are really good. but i still think they are way too expensive. but the free gift is always welcome…lol
i am pretty excited what you will tell me tomorrwo?:wink:?:lol:?:p

August 24, 2005 at 12:54 pmI’m way tooo scared of needles to ever get a tatoo!! ;-) Each to their own though and I think sometimes tatoos can be quite sexy ;-).
Tupperparties…. I love the free gifts but seriously, the stuff is ridiculously expensive!!! Might just stick with IKEA and buy new stuff once it’s yucky. Still cheaper and you can stay in fashion. lol.
Hope there’s more??:sunny: tomorrow!
