What an odd year it has been, indeed. I got off to a very busy start and due to a number of larger customer projects, worked from 6 a.m to 8 p.m. six days a week for about the first half of the year. This is the primary reason that I have been so absent [...]
Anyone who knows me will tell you that while I love the warm spring and summer months, the dreary, cold and wet fall and winter months tend to introvert me and dampen my mood.
This morning, I rediscovered the joy and comfort of hopping out of the shower and getting dressed in front of of the [...]
Yes. Really, I did see some recently.
Probably has something to do with our weather. It has been in the mid-eighties for the last four weeks or so (or is it five by now). Yes, you read that right. Cold, rainy Bavaria, which had half a meter of snow this time last year, is having summer [...]
It took a comment from a Texan guy looking for potato dumplings to get me back here.
I want to apologize for that.
Small side note at this point, I’ve taken my blog off of blogger, the old blog can be found here.
I haven’t been here much lately, and I haven’t visited other blogs in a number [...]

I fell over the dog (because he was lying in front off the front door, it was dark outside and so I did not see him) and [...]
Just a word of advice, really.
The day promised to be rainy and gray, so I decided to take care of cleaning the windows and doing my enormous pile of ironing, whilst watching or listening to something on TV to entertain me.
I had already removed the first set of curtains from the windows to wash them, [...]

Well, I guess that is something, isn’t it?
Where is my sweater? Seriously, there is a green sweater that has gone completely missing – I have looked everywhere.
So, where do sweaters go? Is it like the disapearing socks in the dryer?
Am now turning on “Turbo” work mode so that I can get outside this afternoon [...]
