Great too that today we had new locks installed in our house and I don't have keys and my husband just left, warning me that I might have to wait for a couple of minutes....Right.
Ciao.

I can't wait

I feel like this week was twice as long as usual. I was not able to get to bed on time all week. My right shoulder/arm hurts like crazy. I am staring to get cranky and I still have to spent way too much time here.
I wish I could just sneak out of here, but that'll never happen.
Oh well, I am thinking about getting my cable modem this week and getting hooked up with my Internet crap. But there are sooo many other things I would love to get done. I need new shoes, and I am not one of those people/women that buys new shoes every week. The shoes I wear at work are about 7 years ole, but they look good. I clean them all the time. But since I have been walking so much lately I really need some good running/walking shoes. The ones I am wearing now are too loose and I HAVE to wear them like that.
I also would like to get some summer clothes, some pants and jeans and a couple of shirts....a bathing suit wouldn't be bad, but then I don't even know if I'll get to go swimming this year, but you never know.
I know what's gonna happen. I won't be able to make up my mind and then I don't want to waste the money on anything and I'll just sit at home and sleep and read and eat and drink and...do whatever. Sounds good.

Money, Money, Money!!!!

I was so scared to pay the first mortgage payment and didn't want to have to get all of the money together, so I put aside the complete amount of the payment. Well, a couple of days ago I finally was able to revise our budget to make sure that each pay day the right bills get paid and to even the expenses out over the month. Well, I realized that I don't need to put that much aside to pay the mortgage and so I have a lot of money saved up now...this means that we'll be able to finish the basement sooner than expected!!!!!
I love it when everything works out.

It's funny because I remember just a little over a year ago everything looked a lot different. When the end of the month came and I had to get groceries I paid with credit cards or deposited money from my credit cards into the checking account. I had to wait to get clothes for the kids until the next month etc. It sucked. I don't ever want to be there again. Never.

??????

I don't even know why I was thinking that today would be nice and relaxing since it is Friday.
The week started with a big boom and that is how it'll end.
It's almost time to eat already.

already

I swear, this was the week from hell and it's not even over yet!
Well, I am packing my bags then I'll go home to (hopefully) relax and prepare for the last work day of the week.
Ciao.

Big Decision

I have decided to apply for the American citizenship. I have putting it off for so long and I just can't stand not being able to do the things I would like to do. I can't vote. I think that was one of the most important points, but there are so many other reasons. I just feel like I should. I live here, pay taxes, I am eligible for social security, and have so many other benefits here. The least I should do is to become a citizen.
So, I have been looking around online trying to find all the information etc. First thing is that I have to be a legal resident for at least 3 years if I'm married to an American citizen, which I am. However, even though I have been here for almost five years I didn't get my "Green Card" until two years ago. So I have to wait, but I can prepare everything and study!!!! I didn't think they still test you, but I think it's good. It'll force me to learn more about the US. Who knows maybe I'll go into American History afterwards??? Just kidding.
I already have a plan of what I'm going to do once I am a real American, but I keep that a secret for now.
INS here I come!!!!!

Answers Part 1

OK, SilverBlue was the first one to ask me questions.
here we go!

1. You lived in Germany and in America, traveled to 4 continents and many countries. Where would you like to live that you haven't so far?

I absolutely loved China. I think I could live there for a coupe of years. I was there in the Fall and the weather was really good. Beijing has a huge smog problem so the summers must be horrible. Also, it gets really cold there during the winter so I don't know if I would like that too much. But Beijing always was a place I wanted to go back to.


2. What is your favorite type of music?

I like a lot of different type of music. I have a huge collections of tapes back when I didn't have a CD player and so I recorded everything I could get my hands on. So those tapes are always playing in the car. Right now I have some Techno/House music. It's just a great kind of music to drive to. But then at home we usually listen to Jazz. I love German HipHop. I could never really get into the American R&B because I never could relate to the lyrics but for some reason they make more sense.
I am also a huge Janet Jackson fan. She is my hero.
There is so much more that I could list here but I would say it pretty much depends on my mood and what I feel like.
I don't like country though.

3. On a daily basis, do you find yourself being rude to people who snap at you, or do you attempt to be a "peace maker" that smoothes over problems when they occur?

Well it depends on who it is. I tend to snap at people too when I am stressed or in a bad mood. I always have stupid comments for people that I know better and sometimes that doesn't help the situation. Other people, like strangers on the street that are rude always get to hear an earful of German name calling. I just hope they don't understand me.
Overall I am probably more rude to people. But aren't Germans rude anyways?

Three Questions

OK, SilverBlue has a little fun activity thing going so I figured I participate.
He are the rules:

1. Ask me three questions (use the comments below, or send an email). These questions can be about anything at all. No subject is taboo.
2. In a future post (or posts if it takes more than one) I will answer your questions and be as honest as I can possibly be.
3. Along with your questions and my answers I will post a link to the person's weblog who asked me the questions.
4. After you ask me your questions cut and paste this text on your own weblog allowing other to ask you questions, which you will answer honestly in future posts (etc.)
The more people participate, the more it will spread.
Fun for all!

Good Morning

Today should be better and less stressful, which I really need.
It was really cold this morning. If I had balls I would have frozen them off (did I say that right???).
But now I got my coffee, I still have some energy left for the rest of the week. I'll leave early today and this should make this day a good one.
We'll see.

Meeting

Yeah!!!!
And then I am so out of here....
Ciao.

No Time

This week is just going and going...
I hardly have any time to breathe. It's great too that they moved a meeting up to 30 minutes before I am going home. Seems to me like I will be taking the next train. GREAT! Well, rest assured that I will be leaving early tomorrow.
At least, I feel like I got something accomplished today. Not everything yet, but there's still time.
I still can't wait for the weekend, but who can?

Another Day

Good Morning Everybody!!!
Well, another day another problem....NO.
Everything is going great so far.
No new car, which is good because I'd rather keep my old(er) little baby. Who needs a new car? It was just too much they wanted for that.
Anyways, I am cold again and I don't think that this will ever change. It just means I have to go run my hands under hot water more often today and the rest of the summer. I am still wondering that if I was to get sick because of the temperature in here...would that fall under worker's compensation????? Technically, yes.
Well, maybe I should have a chat with out HR manager.

Four to Go

Monday is finally over for me. Just four more days and then it's the weekend. I really need that after this day.
How much can you do in a single day? And then walk home thinking that nothing was done. Absolutely nothing.
Ciao.

Men

That's s good statement...
Anywyas, so we initially wanted to keep the cars the way they were after we moved but lately the "gotta-have-a-new-car" bug bit us. BUT, we only want one instead of two cars because now, that I walk to the train I hardly ever drive anymore and why spend so much money on something you hardly use? So, my husband had the great idea of buying a nice bigger car for travel etc. and an old tiny MG. So, for the last week he has been sending me links to various websites that sell them and now he found THE ONE!!!
Stupid thing is, I don't want to drive it. Well I do, but ever since I got my driver's license I haven't driven a car with a manual transmission. So, I get to learn how to drive again with my husband at my side...that'll be fun!!!!

Food

I was just about to dwell on my wonderful lunch and how hungry I was until I realized that I write about eating and being hungry a lot.
So, that got me thinking about how others might interpret that and see me.
Now, I also know that many people think Germans are big, round people that talk like Arnold.
So, I just wanted to state here that I am not like that. I eat a lot and I despise everything that is low-carb, fat free or anything other than the way it was supposed to be.
BUT I don't look like that...YET!!! And my accent is hardly there, except to my husband who constantly makes fun of me.....but who cares about that???

Holy Shit

I swear, I have not been able to read two lines in a y article or blog since I got here.
Everybody wants something and I am trying to get it done, but then the next person comes and I just keep writing notes to do this pr that....
Well, now is LUNCH time and that is holy to me so I am in "ignore" mode.

I GOT CABLE!!!!

Damn it.
Well it took only a little over four weeks but I am hooked up.
Of course, the guy came yesterday at about 2 PM and when he finally was done and I got ready to sit down and watch some good-old TV....NOTHING was on. Absolutely nothing.

Other than that we had a great weekend. Lots of rest.
Not much happened, I think.
