Jim’s been off since last Friday, and boy has it been weird not traveling for once. Weird in a good way though. Other than getting the kiddos to/from school we’ve been complete bums, something I could get used to…
Anyway, since I’m currently in full-on bum mode but still want to mention the expat […]

I’m sure there are many stories that will come from the blogger weekend. I know I made lots of new friends and managed to be smiley and sociable at least 82.76% of the time (really, really impressive for me). But here’s the sweetest, bestest part of the weekend and why I cut out […]

I’m a fool for a bargain. It doesn’t even have to be something I need… I’m often heard making comments like “wow, did you see those diapers were half-price?!” or “Rossmann has blue hair dye on clearance for .79 cents a box… I should grab all of it in case I even decide to […]

Sorry sorry to everyone negatively impacted by the latest Deutsche Bahn strike! I normally go all Norma Rae for strikers, but I just can’t seem to get behind this one. While I’m sure a 31% pay increase would be just swell for DB’s 15,000-20,000 drivers, it seems a little greedy…
I find myself feeling […]

Sorry, whining ahead… feel free to close your browser at any point.
Today I had another in a long line of doctor’s appointments and, since I don’t like driving on that side of town, I decided to take the tram. I bought a 4-single-pass ticket, hopped on, stamped it and thought nothing more. Then […]

I woke this morning feeling sad & lonely… no idea why. I hate these kind of days.
Maybe it’s the weather?

It’s not too late to grab a plane, train or automobile and head to Dresden for the 3rd annual Whiney Expat Blogger Meet-up. Get to know the characters behind the characters on the blogs… network… befriend… eat/drink/be merry. Having your own blog certainly isn’t mandatory for attendance. Maybe you’re just a fan […]

Cathy tagged me with the latest meme to sweep the blogosphere… and it’s a tough one for me. The goal is to list 7 random facts about yourself. Quite honestly I’m not sure there are seven things out there (that I’m willing to share anyway) I haven’t already mentioned. I’ll give […]

A sad farewell to Norman Mailer… The Naked And The Dead was 700+ pages of sheer perfection. And that was just the beginning of a long, distinguished career. One of the saddest things about hearing Mailer is gone is… who replaces him? Who fills the shoes of greats like Mailer & Papa […]
