Confessions of a Wandering Gypsy Princess

I have no idea why the Thursday 13 is upside down.  It looks right in the code.  I would fool around with it but then I figure I would lose everything, and why would I want to do that.  So instead it will remain standing, if I can live in a tent, be it of [...]

Thirteen Things about My Beach Vacation1. Heat and Sun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just at my 6 month culture shock bottom out hit, I headed off to the sun and the sand. Though it can be argued the best way to fight the 6 month cultural adaptation blues is in fact to weather it out (and [...]

That being Holy Communion.  I can still remember my first Holy Communion.  I was tickled pink because I was able to buy an ALF doll out of my money.    I was also still the smallest (as in short and tiny) kid in my class, and despite being 10 years old mom had to [...]

I finally got the chance to begin the Golden Compass, I devoured it on the plane. Soooooooooooooo good!!!!!! I just went to check out when its coming to Germany and I did the daemon test. You can agree or disagree here: You only have 12 days or else I [...]

I would love to say that I woke up snotty strictly in a bad mood sense of the way, but no, much more along the lines of gasp, choke, gark, I can not breath. Even worse I was looking forward to having a sleep in today as I do not work till tonight, but [...]

So I am back in cold cold Germany. My students all insist that it is not THAT cold. However I just got back from the beach. It is freaking cold. Cold and panic inducing. Where is my buffet full of magical foods with dishes I do not have to clean. [...]

I always fib about getting off the internet. You people should be use to that! I just checked my emails and I have a ton of them to reply to, including an emergency one from work that requires a profile. Gweee I do not like the real world intruding on me [...]

Ok this is it for my time on the Internet! I had some links to share so why not pass them on like with Branson, and then that is it for me. I will do emails when I get back I promise everyone! I have stories and more pictures, and [...]

Back to life in the DR that will be cut so sadly short in just 5 days. I even dreamed the other night that Monday was a holiday in Germany. It was this great surprise that I discovered on Sunday. When I woke up I was heart broken. It is so [...]

The other thing I need to do is start looking into investments. With the credit card mess finally cleared up (again I stand by my decisions!! Make mistakes when your young, and anyone gives you a hard time about it you just pull out your photos from every corner of the earth!) [...]

To help me in this endeavor (of shiny bike purchasing, I am really plugging the fact I need ABS on the trip, and with credit card now erased instead of starting straight on student loan debt I could delay it slightly and get my bike new and to my knowledge only BMW offers this.) [...]

Although it has been great. One of the best way to get family news is on a beach, in 30 degree weather, while sipping Pina Coladas. Bliss. Of the many updates, my parents have a new car. Not a Chrysler 300 accessory but a Toyota Rav 4. Sweet deal mummy [...]

We arrived at the resort at about 8 00 at night.  Running on next to no sleep for 48 hours (who can sleep on  a plane, and all we had was a nap thinking we could sleep, but we were flying during the day, no nap for us!!!! Or at least me.)   But our ordeal [...]

All is good and wonderful in the land of the Dominican Republic. Our resort though not the Condo Hotels, is beautiful, and we have met my parents successfully. 3 am Friday night we stopped wrapping presents and packing our bags, we slept literally for 45 minutes, and then we jumped up to get [...]

This time I mean it!  This is the last post before we leave.  As I type Patrick is bringing all our stuff down the stairs.  This forgetting about deadlines thing is great!  Less work for me.     All I have left to do is put on my jacket and off I go.  I don’t [...]

So with 30 mins left before we run off to the airport it is getting to what is done is done time.  We actually just woke up from an hour nap.  I am always unsure if sleeping like that is a good idea or a bad idea.  Good because you get so tired that every [...]

I WANT this t shirt!!!!!

Oooooooooo I love QC!!!!

My posts will be erratic if at all over the next 2 weeks (if at all, hahahahaha, eratic    )  I am leaving in mere hours to head to the airport for beach vacation!
