Happy anniversary to us! Time sure flies by.

Here’s the cake. I’m glad that it didn’t just collapse. The middle layer was our main worry, but it we managed to get it to my cousin’s in one piece – better even: in three pieces. I must admit I am a bit proud (although my mom did most of the work, I was just […]

I can’t help but loving the video to Beth Orton’s „Conceived“, mostly for two reasons. a) Beth Orton. She’s lovely. 2. Muppets. Not Muppets muppets, but very much alike those and so cute. I want a little green furry friend, too. You can find it here. Oh my, this is so cute. The mice on […]

Honest to god, I’m really sorry, but about every damn girl in Germany has decided to sacrifice „Fallin’“ to our dear Lord of Bad Singing. Worship here.

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 […]

Lesson learned today: A sharp knife and a thumb (especially mine) do not go together well. I need a band-aid, a kiss and a get-well-better song. As you can see, I got at least the first one. You have no idea how hard it is to cook with such a handicap. I know I didn’t.
