I apologize for not being able to cough up a decent post lately, but I am somehow at a loss of (written) words. It’s not that I don’t want to write, but the things that I want to write about are still blurry and unclear in my head and need some more time to develop…
{via} Current Book(s): I started “The Stranger” by Albert Camus this weekend. It’s this month’s pick for our book club meeting and I am curious to find out how I like it. Current Playlist: I am currently listening to my “grunge” folder on iTunes: Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Nirvana, … you get the idea. That’s who…
{via weheartit} I consider myself a very well-rounded person. I am not outstandingly good at any one thing, but I do a lot of things quite satisfyingly. Not one half of my brain is superior over the other. I enjoy natural sciences (hence my degree in Geography) as much as I do languages and music…
{via} I really regret that I’ve never lived with my sister. Yes, of course, I lived with my sister when we still lived at home at my parents’ house. I mean, I regret never having shared an apartment with her. Before marriage and (her) kids and all. I think we would have been terrific roommates….
What’s the most exotic food that you’ve ever tried? I’d like to think of myself as pretty open to new foods and new tastes. I am not a picky eater and there are not too many things that I just simply can’t eat at all (one example would be liver). However, I do have a…
{via my 365 project} I received a call on Sunday from one of our long-distance friends in Germany (originally his parents were friends of J’s family, but he and his wife then quickly also became friends of ours). We hadn’t really been in touch for a while, which is to say that I had been…
{via} … when I really miss living closer to my family. When you read this, my Dad will be undergoing hip surgery. I know this is a pretty standard procedure these days, but it still bothers me that I can’t be there when he wakes up. That I can’t go and visit him and make…
Perusing the virtual isles of Etsy.com and its German counterpart DaWanda.de has quickly become one of my favorite pastimes when looking for unique gifts. With postage between the US and Germany being ridiculously expensive, I’ve embraced the possibilities that online ordering and shipping have to offer. You know, I’d rather spend more money on the…
{via} I am… … looking forward to fall and all the fun stuff that comes with it… cooler evenings, blankets, candles, spiced pumpkin lattes (I said that just because, I am actually not a very big fan of them, but I noticed that they’re back on the Starbucks menu!), hot soups! Last night, we had…
This post is based on the September blogging special organized and put together by Indiebizchicks. I missed yesterday’s blogging prompt “What I did over my summer vacation”. If you have been following my blog, you know that my summer vacation was early this year – in May – and that I went back to Germany for…
