I'm not singing this year, but was proud to help with the flyer design. Anyone in Germany is welcome - if you're in need of some Christmas-feeling. I'll save you a seat!

October Trip Part 1: Frankfurt (Oberursel)

Image
I left the house on a Tuesday for my big 10-day adventure, armed with a tiny suitcase and the cheapest train tickets I could find. The trip would be all about my girlfriends - the first four days visiting Michalina, my Polish friend from the IFC who now lives in Frankfurt, then a weekend with Annika and Katja in Karlsruhe, and ending with four days to explore Paris with Paige Wendle. The first leg of my journey took me from Kleinbottwar to Stuttgart, where I found out my train had been cancelled due to an derailing on one of the high-traffic tracks. So I was upgraded to an ICE (high-speed intercity train) for free and arrived in Frankfurt 2 hours later than planned. Michalina and her German boyfriend Dennis picked me up from the train station and took me back to their little town on the outskirts of the city, Oberursel. We walked the streets and ate dinner at a delicious Spanish restaurant - lots of garlic and tapas! Then I settled into my guest room there and we watched movies and...

Zürich Business Trip

Image
Fabian is officially done with the first 6 months of his new position - the training phase. During this time, he got to work out on the factory floor and learn the trade and the machines used to create the tools his company sells (which, as area sales manager, HE will have to sell). Starting in June, he was sent back to the office to start his actual tasks, and that means he will be traveling a lot more often. Luckily, for his first trip to Zürich, the company paid for two nights at the hotel and I got to go with him! We left on a Wednesday night and drove to Switzerland (we were at the German-Swiss border in about 2 hours flat) and checked into our hotel. Then we had all day Thursday to look around the city before he went to the plastics conference and gave an English presentation on Friday morning. Since things are VERY expensive in Switzerland, we went out to eat just once (two pizzas and two sodas cost us 50 Euro!) and made very good use of the wonderful included breakfast each...

My Epic, Husband-less September

I knew in advance that the day would not be a happy one, when Fabi flew off and I'd be stuck at home alone for a full month. Before his departuer, tensions had risen, emotions were high, and then when he finally left to join his best friend since childhood for a hiking trip in Canada, I was somehow relieved that he was finally gone! No more trips to the outdoor gear store, no more picking up his Amazon orders at the post office once/twice a week, and no more pre-trip stress! I've had both sides of the cookie since he left: really great, independent, happy days and aweful, lonely ones that unpleasantly reminded me of the two years of long distance at the beginning of our relationship. Luckily, I'd hatched a plan long before his departure to keep me busy and distracted! Here was the lineup of my truly epic month of September: 08/30 - Dinner with Jessi in Kleinbottwar 08/31 - Marathon of old Star Trek movies 09/01 - Stop by Berlitz for breakfast 09/02 to 09/04 - Girls we...
