Ever since Robbie (a) got a new boyfriend, (b) declared her virginity to be ‘lame’ and (c) came home last sunday with a hickey the size of Rhode Island on her neck, I’ve kept her on the shortest leash possible. Attempts to do anything have been met with either a flat-out ‘no!’ or a counteroffer […]

Ever feel you’ve lost your way? Like you set out to do something supremely great, only to end up somewhere south of mediocre? So you plan your days/weeks/months/decades around what you think you can swing. You put one foot in front of the other until it eventually leads you… here.
Not that `here´ […]

I don’t want Viagra. I’m not interested in chatting with sexy Russian girls with big asses, and I certainly don’t want to hear about “horny mothers having a rest on their own son’s poles”.
Seriously, who are these people and why can’t they find better things to do with their time?? Not only is […]

I went from looking for things to do, to being too busy to take bathroom breaks all in the blink of an eye. Thankfully life returns to normal next week. If I owe you an email, I’m not being rude, promise. Look for me to respond/post/complain about being bored again very […]

The other day in language class I found my attention slipping (shocker), so I flipped to the front of my handy-dandy Berliner Platz 1 book and started highlighting all the cities in Germany we’ve visited to date. Seems we’ve covered the south & east, but I was surprised by how much of the north […]

The list of movies you want to see almost rivals the list of movies you’ve already seen. I’ve managed to keep up with what’s good on tv since moving to Germany, but films… it’s practically a lost cause.
It doesn’t help that most of what I want to see will never be ‘blockbuster’ material. […]

Continuing yesterday’s post, here are some great online resources I’ve found for kiddos:
First, clothing. You might notice some overlap, but everything mentioned has a nice selection…
Bon Prix - I’ve bought Sydney quite a few things at Bon Prix. They’re reasonably priced, and have the added bonus of holding up well to multiple […]

I’ve been thinking about adding a separate page of tips/info for expats new to Germany. How about that… I finally feel I’ve been here long enough to contribute. I figure I’ll start with something easy- shopping. Not so much because I love to shop- I pretty much hate it. Hate the […]

I had the strangest dream last night that I was peeling potatoes. That, in & of itself, is pretty damn strange because potato peeling for me definitely falls into the ‘too much cooking’ category.
Anyway, the skin of one of the potatoes went way into the middle of it, so I started to pry it […]
Former supermodel turned brain surgeon leaves behind successful career in America to try her hand at hausfraudom in the lovely Saxon city of Dresden, Germany.
Some days are good, some are bad... all are opportunities to learn & grow.
With my sunny disposition and can-do attitude, what could possibly go wrong?
