Confessions of a Wandering Gypsy Princess

I can not be bothered to write coherent posts of late. Those who want the stories from my trip should pop over to my Journizer site where I did actually try to write it out in a semi coherent fashion. I have been over on A free man and Not Afraid to Use [...]

The good news is that my weekend has begun, over half my classes were canceled this week due to a school holiday, and I have tomorrow and Thursday off!  Wheeeeeeeeeeee  I will try to be productive tomorrow, now I am spending mindless time on You Tube and Facebook, a sad state of affairs it is [...]

Whoever would have thought it was so difficult to find a cord for your laptop? When you have a Canadian model and you want to buy one in Germany its damn hard. So that is why I am not emailing as often as normal, its true, I am STILL without the thing!
I wish [...]

They come out slower than anticipated, but Andy is doing such an awesome job no one cares! They take a lot longer than we think (the cutting is actually done way before the episode comes out – I know because Patrick and I translate them about 3 weeks before you see them). The [...]

Looking for offensive and funny t-shirts? Then look no further than this link, though I have to admit I did laugh out loud at some of them. In particular the one that said “dont hit kids, no seriously, they have guns now.“ That is so right and so wrong all at the [...]

In both the runny nose variety and the sadness one. I suspect Oma has misplaced my power cord, or I have flat out lost it. Together we are a disaster. I have my laptop, that still exists. What no longer exists is my computers battery. It is completely empty and [...]

Sorry for going AWOL here as well as my other blogs, I have been working or ill, and the past week both.  I spent Friday through Saturday snuffling and sniffing when not sleeping.  Sigh.
I have spent some of the time wisely however.  (Please note the use of the word some, as most of the time [...]

Canadians had their turkey yesterday, I hope everyone enjoyed it!  And I share this with you a little too late,  as voting is tomorrow (again for the Canadians), but its Rick Mercer, its funny, and he has a point. 
I am off to work, enjoy your long weekend Canada!

So literally I write that post and dig up my phone to call him and ask just how badly busted the computer was (he was fixing his cousins) and it turns out there was a missed call, a text and a message.  But ahem, I never heard any of it over the music I have [...]

So I have now been home from my first day back to work for about 2 hours (I know a week early, but they needed a substitute, and I DID have almost 3 months off ). I have cooked up a storm, and its now burning because someone who said [...]

For some reason I can not sign into my YouTube account, I have lost the cord to my computer and I am on Patircks laptop, so I am probably hitting a wrong key somewhere.  Either way I found this version of cooling I have never heard before, and I love it.  And so I need [...]

We are off for a “party in the woods“ favored past time of Germans. Seriously, Monday morning I ask what they did over the weekend and I get one of 3 answers, number one being “I made hike in the woods“, (no you did not make it) number two being “I made party in [...]

So we decided last night that we would all take Oma to the movies.  The problem being that when we looked the only thing that seemed remotely appealing to her had one showing that day and that was 5 15.  We hadn’t even started eating at that point, and NO ONE was leaving without food.  [...]

So I have had some requests on how I am able to travel as much as I do, and if I could share some of my secrets. No problem, its a little more than buying and packing Swiss Army luggage, yet beyond the desire to do so the rest falls into place. The [...]

So we arrived in Germany Monday evening and I think the not yet 2 days here has caused me to gain back all 15 pounds I lost! Oma took one look at me and declared (with distinct suspicion and disapproval) that I had in fact lost weight, and proceeded to do her best [...]
