I am asking myself…

How can you still feel harassed and taunted by someone who lives in Australia?? And how can he not feel totally embarrassed by these angry outbursts??
As much as I try to cut every possible tie… he keeps popping back meaner than ever.
Is there some way to report someone who is bothering you but lives in [...]

Monday Morning

This weekend I was supposed to write all my report cards so I’d be in good shape for the week.. but alas! I did not! I did however do a massive clean of my apartment and watch 12 episodes of Heroes.
Despite my lack of motivation in regards to report card writing..the year seems to be [...]

Another year…

Well Christmas has come and gone, filled with the general busyness that is to be expected. I’ve been home for a week and have a week to go before I head back to Germany. It feels like the past week has been all about Christmas and family and so I’m looking forward to catching up [...]

Happily Indifferent

And I’m done! Had to go into work today til noon which was a bit of a joke. Everyone was wired and jumping all over the place. After work I went with a friend for a thai buffet lunch, which was great and then we did some last minute errands and wandered the Christmas Markets. [...]

Now if only I can get all the things done that need to happen before I happily fly out of here.. [...]

Not quite a Christmas Love Story

Yesterday was nice blend of activities including a massive amount of drama regarding Mr. October (who wants to be February). I had been thinking and thinking about it and while he is a great guy.. there just seems to be more and more red flags popping up all over the place. I mean there is [...]

Christmas Confession…

I must admit that I am a tad unsettled by the idea that Santa sees me when I’m sleeping…

Sad realization…

What is really sad is when you are watching Bridget Jones’s Diary and you realize that her “shocking over weight” is very close to your “ideal goal weight”..
Height and bone structure I’d say.. yes.. that makes all the difference…

“All by myself…”

I was listening to a Christmas song today and it had something to do with still being in love with someone after all these years and how wonderful it is to spend Christmas with this person. It’s actually a really pretty song and if I was in a less single state.. I might actually feel [...]

The most wonderfully stressful time of the year!

Let’s begin this post on a totally lame note (some pun intended).. I am tucked in my warm bed and listening to Enya’s Christmas CD… yep! Can’t get much lamer than that but that’s not the point here. It’s actually very relaxing, soothing but strangely makes me crave a decent 2 hour full body massage…
Anyway [...]

Party Party

Went to my first Staff Christmas Party on Saturday night and what a party it was! While getting on the tram downtown a band of older people wearing leprechaun hats and carrying tubas, trumpets, trombones etc got on at the same time. Once the tram was moving they started playing Christmas music and the whole [...]

December Happiness is..

standing around a Christmas market, drinking cups and cups of gluhwein and noticing that all the men you’re drinking with are well over 6 feet tall! Bliss really!
And I rode the tram home with Adam tonight. It was really nice. We talked about books and big ideas and it made me happy. I think we’ll [...]

The Christmas Markets are incredible and it’s fun going downtown after school and wandering about and drinking gluhvein of course!
This is the first year I’m finding myself able to [...]

Italian Dinner Tonight!

Well I survived the week which also included being observed by my Department Head. I hate being observed but it has to happen and I think it went rather well. Although at one point my most feisty student picked a fight with the Dept. Head which was interesting. I’ll get the results next week I [...]

Nice Nice

Nice was… nice. Yes, you could all see that coming and while it’s a fairly lame adjective to use, it’s actually quite accurate. Nice is nice and there are some beautiful parts to it but it’s also somewhat faded and looks like it just needs to be scrubbed til it shines.
We went to Monaco one [...]
