Success! We got our tree. It was the first thing we did this morning and we were successful at the second place we stopped by. Now here’s what we got: And here is part of the decoration close up: Now our living room smells like Christmas and I can finally get into the spirit of […]

I got my first totally unexpected Christmas gift. I love getting totally unexpected gifts. So, here’s to Andreas, the best friend a media-addicted girl could have. And the first season of Smallville on DVD. Picture me feeling loved.

I have to find a DVD for my 14-year-old niece who – unfortunately – I have never met. In fact the only contact I ever made was when she was on the phone at my parents-in-law and they put her on speaker. So, my husband made a deal with her that she would watch an […]

I hate when things like that happen. It’s not like I knew him personally, but I just loved Leo. Sad, sad, sad.

I’ve successfully gotten an okay to order some stuff from my husband1 and now I’m desperately trying to decide what exactly to order. I’m at a loss.

It appears that we might have bought a car today. At least that’s what we told the car seller guy. And my father-in-law who wrote the cheque for us. Now we’re busy scrambling together the money to actually pay for it. Damn. How did that happen? And, can you see why we did it? If […]

It’s official: I’m scared to buy a car. There might be an opportunity for us to get a good car for little money plus the possibility to pay what we cannot afford now back to my husband’s father without interest and I can already see myself chickening out. I keep on imagining all the lots […]
