The last week, and especially Christmas, was just wonderful and so busy, hence the lack of posts. The greatest gift was to spend the holidays with my family. Christmas Eve is always very special. In the morning, I set up my Mom’s beautiful new Nativity Set. Then, my sister (and Greta!) came over and we…
Last Sunday, we met my uncle in Köln for a stroll at the medieval Christmas Market. I had no idea that it existed and was very intrigued. It was a very interesting market with people in medieval costumes and many different stands. We walked around, looked at all the different things that were offered and…
Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones and all the best for the new year!
Finally, I have a few minutes (before heading to bed) to give you a quick update. I don’t even know where to start. I am so happy to be here. J and I arrived safely on Wednesday morning. The flights were smooth and time went by quickly. We even managed to get quite a bit…
We’re home with my family after two very pleasant, uneventful domestic and transatlantic flights, a slighty delayed connection to DUS and a missing piece of luggage upon arrival. Hmpf. But don’t you worry – it was just left behind in Paris and was finally delivered to my parent’s doorstep around 10 p.m. We had visitors…
I am going on a cross-Atlantic trip tomorrow in about 7 hours, I am not almost finished packing and I have the nerve to sit down and do the “Top 10 Tuesday: My Make Up Bag’ list seen over at alleyesonjenny.com. Oh well, why not, right? :) 1. What can I say? I got hooked…
It’s Sunday night, 8:45 pm. Take a wild guess where I am. At the office. I must have completely lost my mind. I always promise to get things done when I should KNOW that I won’t be able to finish them in said time. I just can’t help thinking that I am Miss Genius and will…
 For this week’s SPF, Kristine asks for “something you own that is red or green”. Well, I don’t technically “own” the Christmas market in Cologne with its red-roofed booths, but it is a) the perfect picture for the holiday season (don’t you agree?) and b) is strongly connected to me feeling “home”… so the…
I went to TJ’s after work to pick up some chocolate and a bottle of wine to give to my co-workers for Christmas. When I walked up to the check-out, the following conversation unfolded. Clerk: May I see proper documentation for the legal purchase of alcohol? (Translate: ID, please!) Me: Yes, here you go! C:…
I didn’t think I would say this this year, but I am a little stressed out. Hence the lack of posts. The sh*tload of work I have to do at work is not helping either. Do you know the feeling when you’re counting down the days to a certain date and you cannot wait for…
