Confessions of a Wandering Gypsy Princess

One good thing is coming out of this rain business. Im cooking chesse spatzle tonight. However not from scratch like this guy. But I am adding the bacon and onions, and of course about a pound of Gouda. Hey, if it is going to act like winter I might as well [...]

I have not updated my 365 in a couple of days, but I have not quit, I have just been too busy to download them. (when I do have time I never have my laptop as I keep forgetting to take it with me. Super tiny, super cute, and yet I am in [...]

Because when you don´t I am overwhelmed with the desire to go to a bookstore, buy books, and then head to a coffee shop and drink expensive coffee. sigh And then I have to force myself to go the library instead and I need to keep telling myself that its money in the [...]

If you a reader over at Sticky as well you know that we have finally begun to finalize the plans for our big trip next year. (To be either 3 – 4 months or a full year depending on the German´s work situation). The goal is to ride to Mongolia and then up [...]

There is however one area that we have decided not to save money on, and that is motorcycle trips in between now and Iceland, because really the more you ride the better you get, and in the end more experience makes you a better rider (hopefully) and really, when you live in Europe, particularly an [...]

I had to wait a little while to get the second part of my Christmas gift (but sicne the first part was Johnny I was completley ok with that turn of events. Furry balls of fur and love do that to people. Even if they are furry balls off pee as well. [...]

I have been very good with the picture part of my 365 (which normally has bored me by now, unless I have been traveling and taking pictures everyday anyway). But I have most certainly slacked in the goal department. Patrick and I have slipped in the past 2 weeks to speaking almost entirely [...]

The good news: I have a new baby laptop! It is tiny and cute and perfect for taking along on long term motorcycle trips. The bad news: it appears to be super fast in everything except uploading stuff to Flickr. And then one of the videos I uploaded was just a [...]

Where I was in Bavaria I still do not really know, it was a name with an umlaut (or those evil dots that are like the eyes of a demented demon) but really I just pointed the bike and followed. Good news is that it was great despite the grey clouds. Bad news is [...]

Sadly however I have no real pictures from the weekend outside of my 365 shots. on Saturday we left late as I was feeling more than a little sick on Friday, and a later start just seemed like a smarter idea. And then although it was super hot in the morning on Sunday, [...]

Operation motorcycle training was a success! And as much as I hate to say it, it was much less stressful being in an only women group with Patrick’s sister versus being in the same group as the boys, who between them have probably covered most of the earth surface. (Last year we met [...]

And now I am off for the weekend. The entire week it has been raining, and we woke up this morning to sunshine and the belief that it would hold and we could take a nice ride through the Black Forest instead of being forced to hit the highway. Now the overcast sky [...]

Mother sent me this and it made me giggle out loud. This is why so many of us would rather just reach for those best weight loss pills, exercising hurts!
