Yesterday as I was searching amazon.de for a new set of cordless phones, I came across this:
First off, how cool is it that you can buy your sex toys at amazon? Talk about one stop shopping. Second, when did they start making vibrators that sit on cute little bases just like cordless […]

European Blue Card : This is at the top of my Christmas list this year. I’m thinking I’ll have to wait until Oct 23rd to find out more details, but who wouldn’t want one of these? Access to the entire job market with no restrictions? With this, the only reason left to give […]

Sorry for the lack of posting, but unless you’re interested in hearing what color my mucous is today or how many times I woke up coughing last night… well, then be thankful I’ve avoided EuroTrippen. Today I actually forced myself out of bed to attend my first german class… sat in the corner sweating […]

I added it up a few weeks back and I keep track of 67 blogs on a semi-regular-to-regular basis. I’m also finding new and interesting ones each day (seriously, does anyone not have a blog these days?). The only trouble being the time it takes to check in on each daily… especially because I’ve […]

And after three days of drinkin’ with Larry Love
I just get an inklin’ to go on home
So, I’m walkin’ down Coldharbour Lane
Head hung low, three or four in the mornin’
The suns comin’ up and the birds are out singing

Wind myself up that spiral staircase
An’ stretch out nice on the chesterfield
Pithecanthropus […]

Not only did I survive Ikea, but this afternoon I personally packed & carried to the cellar 3 boxes of clothes that are now far too big. I’m comfortably fitting into size 44 and actually enjoying clothes shopping again. I’ve still got a long way to go, but at least I don’t […]

In about half an hour we’re leaving for… gulp… Ikea. On a Saturday. With a long list.
Pray for me…
