Confessions of a Wandering Gypsy Princess

Happy New years and belated Merry Christmas!  I am sorry I have not been getting around to my blogging friends, or even been on the computer to catch up with emails from people here in my hometown.  I have even missed a couple of get togethers with friends who rely on facebook and facebook only [...]

It seems a little late in the year to be talking about Halloween costumes but being away from home for 2 years meant I missed all the big occasions like Halloween and Christmas for two years, and this year princess pumpkin butt (my pet name for my little niece) was old enough [...]

Anyway, coming home for Christmas has been great, and work nightmares or not, I am glad I decided to come for 3 weeks instead of 2. It means I have the time to relax with my family and actually have a chance to get out and see my friends. Even if that means [...]

I have now been home a full week and last night I had my first work dream. It was devastating. I was dreaming that I was here in Newfoundland on a motorcycle tour, but I forgot to tell work I would not be in. And I knew that the class was expecting [...]

So my last post was on shopping, so it is only fitting that this post follows up on that. Tomorrow is Boxing Day shopping with my mother. This I love, that at one point in time I would have kicked and screamed before going shopping with my mother, and now I am actually [...]

So Black Friday is one of the busiest days for shopping in the states, (apparently the day after Thanksgiving is a great day for shopping in the states, in Canada its the 27th with the wonderful boxing day sales, oh Boxing day sale, how I miss thee. The Swabian I have become fights with [...]

And planning for Iceland…… I am thinking that this winter I am going to do the same thing I did last year, double up on courses, take everything and anything that comes my way, and take 3 months off. 2 months for Iceland, 3 weeks for Canada, and one complete [...]

This is so awesome, Dylan Moran is one of my favorite comedians at the moment. I have all kinds of stories filling my in box about my little nieces experiences with her birthday parties. She is just go go go, and already a little old woman. She doesn’t like it when [...]

Christmas time means Christmas shopping and there are some people on my list that I find just impossible. My father is one of those people that I find extremely hard to shop for. (And he never reads this blog so I have no worries, my mother reads it, but between my father and [...]

Because we all need as many insane cat videos in our lives as possible, and also because I am insane busy and unable to entertain you with my own writing, I instead offer this video of crazy cats. Not the lol ones, just insane ones. As in buy some of these cats sports [...]

Nicole broke me. Not even in Barcelona, although we did shop shop shop there, I was appalled at the prices when I knew full well that the exact same shops here in Stuttgart had the exact same clothes on sale. Yes I have become that Swabbisch. Im not even [...]

Because I am too tired and to busy to present one coherent story. Im even thinking about investing in another stress reducing magnetic bracelets, I had one in university and I was quite happy with it, I thought it worked anyway. Be it in my head or for real, that [...]

If I get an email stating that I am an idiot and as subtle as a two by four to the face, then I will remove the comment about wishing I was getting her present. Until then I assume no one is reading this blog from that family anymore. Its only though Facebook [...]

I just went back and reedited the previous post, because I was afraid that even though I never named names, its easy by clicking on the pic to find out who I am talking about, and though I doubt either check out the blog (or at least anymore) I did start to think if [...]

I have never been jealous of my friends before, but this last email I got has the green eyed cat going, or at least the green eyed animal of something. The chances of his sister reading this blog is next to none, but it exists, so I will not reveal the source of my [...]

Barcelona was awesome (even if it was cold!) and I will have the pictures up by the end of the week I hope! My flickr pro account expires in 3 days, and my next paypal increase is not expected until Friday, so there are going to be a couple of days where I will [...]
