We just came back from one of our best nights ever. Friends of us took us out to Cologne for dinner and some big fun. So we had what was most likely the most expensive dinner I ever had (which doesn’t tell much, but I still don’t want to know how much they paid in […]

I’m a sucker for this store. Luckily (or unfortunately… depends on how you see it) we have one right in this town, so I bring my hard-earned money there on a regular basis, mostly for bed-linen, tablecloths and candles, but lately also for clothes. At the moment they have The Cutest Coat Ever there and […]

My list of men I would absolutely make a complete fool of myself if I ever met them, because I’d start to say idiotic things or talk backwards or something like that, because I would just be too amazed.

Is it possible to not love They Might Be Giants? I think not. Thanks to srah’s mix for reminding me of that. There goes „Flood“ right to my iTunes playlist.

Oh, hey, the rain’s falling sideways. Now here’s something you don’t see every day. I can only hope that my husband is currently NOT on his bike on the way home.

I drove! I drove a real car! Better yet, I drove my parents‘ car which just proves how much my mother trusts me. That may not sound very spectacular to you, but it is when you consider that I haven’t driven a car in about 4 years or more. Even more I think. And with […]
