{via} Wow. 2011. I am not quite ready for you. I’ve hardly wrapped my head around 2010. But nobody asks me if I am ready for yet another new year. It just comes and at the very least, it provides opportunity for fresh starts, new dreams and goals. I am...

On how we met, or “I can’t believe it’s been 9 years”

October 5, 2010

“Hi, mein Name ist J….” With these three German words, J’s and my relationship began exactly 9 years ago today. He was this handsome Freshman in College and I was the exchange student from Germany. Two other exchange students and I had gone to the Freshman party on Campus and...

Thrifting

October 4, 2010

(via my 365 project} It’s not a secret that I like to hit up the thrift stores every once in a while. My MIL took me thrifting for the first time a few years ago and at first, I didn’t really know what to expect. I actually thought that she...

A walk down memory lane

March 24, 2010

{image via weheartit} The week after my Granddad’s funeral, my sister and I – along with my Dad and uncle – went to my Granddad’s house. My Dad had to sort out some papers (insurances, mail service, bank accounts, etc.) and my sister and I wanted to rummage around and...

You think I am a little weird? – So what.

January 11, 2010

Remember my little New Year’s adventure story from last weekend? Here’s the background story. I hadn’t been on a horse since I was 15, or so. You know, when I was younger, of course I had the whole phase where I loved horses (I still do, mind you!), as all...

20 years ago – November 9,1989

November 9, 2009

© msnbc.com Today, twenty years ago, the Berlin wall fell. I was thirteen at the time and I remember seeing the news on TV. But because my family lived in the far western part of (West) Germany, close to the Dutch border, I think I didn’t really understand how huge this was. Yes,...

Happy 40th anniversary.

November 6, 2009

When I woke up this morning and turned on the computer, Google greeted me with this image: Ah yes, Big Bird on Wednesday, Cookie Monster yesterday and Bert and Ernie today. I see a trend. It’s Sesame Street’s 40th anniversary this month (it premiered on November 10, 1969) and what...
