I am out of here!!!

OK, I think I'm done for the day.
As you can see I was not at all creative today, so I better leave at that and go enjoy my weekend.
So, I hope all of you have a nice weekend!!

It is Friday!!!!

FINALLY!!!

This will be our last weekend in the old house.....time went by so fast.
I tried sending pictures of the house to my folks but some didn't arrive so I'll have to sit down again this weekend and resend the ones they didn't get.

That brings me to my "almost one-year-old" plan on buying an external harddrive. I'll need at least 60GB.
So, if anyone has input on that, please let me know. I was thinking of Maxtor, but a nice small portable one would be cool too.

The Friday Five

If you...

1. ...owned a restaurant, what kind of food would you serve?
Well, I always liked restaurants that serve a mix of food. There is a really nice chain of restaurants in Germany, it's called "Brasserie", which is French for Brewery. They have the restaurant divided into three areas, one looks like a cafe, with small tables, then they have a bar area and a restaurant area.
But I would like to have a bar. I think the easiest food to serve would be gratins, with all kinds of different ingredients.

2. ...owned a small store, what kind of merchandise would you sell?
Something fun, but I don't know what. It would have to be something special that you can't get everywhere.

3. ...wrote a book, what genre would it be?
Suspense Thriller. Something exciting.

4. ...ran a school, what would you teach?
Foreign language, like German. I always thought it would be nice to do that, especially since I am fluent in German. I even passed the test teachers have to take if they want to teach a foreign language. But I couldn't teach older kids. I would be too afraid of them. Elementary School would be fun.

5. ...recorded an album, what kind of music would be on it?
I don't know. I like so many different kinds of music. Maybe something slow, because I like to sign slow songs.

Back to Work!!!

Well, although I only wanted to take half a day off work yesterday it ended up being the whole day.
We had our pre-settlement inspection and everything seems to be going good. Just a couple of tough-up jobs and that should be it.
So, as far as I can tell next week we are moving!!!! Well, we better, because we packed most of the house up already and reserved a moving truck....

Ciao

Nothing more to post so I figure I just go and enjoy the rest of this fine Tuesday afternoon.
What a strange day. I don't like rain and cold weather. This sounds like a perfect evening for wine. hmmmmmm.............which one to drink????

Later....

I will move!!!

But not as you might think...

I was just looking around online and I think I am old enough to leave blogger.
Once I have moved into the new house and set up my new High-Speed Internet, I will register my domain name and start the whole process.
Right now I am thinking about Hosting Matters and MovableType.
If anyone has any ideas or advice, feel free to let me know.
Thank you!!!

Fifty Word Fiction

Over at Ted's I saw a link to this. I might try it, but I am bad at writing.
Anyways, if you are interested try it out!!!

UPDATE: OK I posted mine in the comments, but I figured I put them in the post as well.

It was a warm, sunny day when Sam decided to finally get it over with. He put on his best suit, combed his hair for the first time in months, and walked out of his little apartment into the crowed streets.
"Being around people isn't really that bad," he thought.

Nothing to Write about

Absolutely nothing!!!!
After such a beautiful day yesterday (well, I think it was), today is just depressing. Starting the day in the 40's and going down into the 30's really sucks after a day in the 60's. And it's raining too. This is the worst part about winter/spring because it goes back and forth and you just get teased.
I really can't wait until it is finally spring and I can put that stupid winter coat in the closet (or finally bring it to the dry cleaners) and forget about it.

Other than that, nothing is really going on.

Tomorrow we have the pre-inspection of the house that is hopefully going to be ours next week. I think it'll go ok. We already know a couple of things that are wrong with the house (nothing major), but they'll be able to fix them within a week.
I can't believe that I am going to won my own house.
I was talking to my dad this weekend and he said it was amazing that it took them 10 years after they moved to West Germany to buy a house and it took me 5. But the circumstances are different, so I don't think you can really compare that.

Anyways, hope your day is going great (or at least good)!!

Back to Work!!!

Well, the weekend's over already, but that's ok, because the faster time goes by the quicker I'll be living in my new house!!!!
I can't wait.
Well, the weekend was nice. I made the best Goulash ever....well, my mom's better but mine was close. Everybody loved it.
I was trying to find a Lesco recipe online so I wouldn't have to buy it, but I only found one. I don't know. My mom always buys it in a glass so I think I'd rather stick with that idea....
So the next big thing is my famous cheesecake, but that'll have to wait until we have moved....
