{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...

Things I ponder

September 21, 2010

{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...

Culinary excursions

September 17, 2010

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)....

September 10, 2010

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...

On who I am right now

September 9, 2010

{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...

My biggest challenge: new friends

September 4, 2010

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...
