March 2010 – theinbetweenismine

{via} … if it wasn’t for me! YOU’RE WELCOME! As an expat, living in a different country away from home, you encounter a whole lot of things that are just different from what you’re used to.

March 30, 2010

Last week, the lovely Holly from Scattered Words awarded my blog with the “The Honest Scrap Award” . We’ve only “known” each other through our blogs for a short while, but I really appreciate that she passed this on to me. The rules of acceptance? I’m supposed to list 10...

On being a twin

Most people don’t know what it is like to share a birthday with a sibling. Most people probably don’t think it’s very desirable to share a birthday with someone in the family (as it might seem that you’d only get ‘half’ the attention). As for a (fraternal) twin like me,...

March 19, 2010

I’m still trying to catch up on my Google Reader and I am working on some more blog posts. In the meantime, enjoy this little video of my niece and me. She completely cracks me up. We were dancing to a cell phone ringtone… and she couldn’t get enough of...

Precious time

March 17, 2010

{image via weheartit} My Google Reader says: 654 unread items. I have no idea when to catch up. I haven’t spent as little time online as I did in the last 1,5 weeks in forever. I felt somewhat liberated and completely out-of-touch at the same time. But I wanted to...

I am back… and I am in love… II

March 15, 2010

Heyho everybody. Somebody – that’d be me! – is re-appearing in the blogosphere after a much-too-short, but wonderful time with my family in Germany. I arrived safely back home Saturday night and I’ll give you a recap of my trip a little later this week, but today I need to...
