where my camera died because I forgot to charge it.
This is the second time I’ve gone on a little day trip and I’ve forgotten to charge my damn camera! But I did get some pictures, mostly of the amazing cathedral. There was so much to do and see in Regensburg, and I didn’t get to do the thing I wanted to so most which was see the Domspatzen which is the boys choir, so I think we’ll have to go back in late spring early summer and go to a Sunday mass just to hear them perform.
but first to Bamberg
IKEA. I love it, it’s like my grown-up Disney land! I’ve been looking forward to going there to buy our couch for over a year. See, I’ve had my eye on the same sofa there for nearly two years, and I’ve been waiting and waiting to get get the damn thing! We decided that we would go on a little shopping spree with our DLA money.
out with 2012, in with 2013
You ever have a time when you intend for something to be great and it just isn't? You plan and get excited and pumped up for it. It finally happens and it’s just so-so, or maybe even down right miserable? That was our New Years Eve.
We had planned a night out on the town, the way we used to. One last hurrah before we trade it in to stay in with little ones and toast with sparkling cider. Out to the club drinks and dancing with friends. And because the Germans do it all night, we decided so would we. Boy did we.
Too much of it and too little
Wow! It’s been awhile since my last post! I have all the time in the world; I don’t work. Keeping up with the house and laundry is not that hard or time consuming, but it is easy to get myself lost in stupid time wasting things that help my day pass more quickly. But I refuse to become one of those miserable army wives that live in oversized sweat pants and baggy t-shirts, doing nothing but bitch and complain all day, and I feel like I might be heading that way. But NO MORE! I’ve decided I have no excuse not to use this time to better myself and I’ve assembled a plan.
“even more than I usually do.”
I am trying very hard to stay positive and not dwell on the negative, and so far, I’m doing a damn good job of it! That being said, I think we are all entitled to bitch and moan a little here and there right? We’re all allowed a moment of negativity, so here’s mine.
something something something dark side
It has been snowing steadily all day, It’s at least three inches deep right outside the back door. I really want to go sledding and make snow angels and have a snowball fight… not a snowball fight with Cody though, he plays for keeps. Instead, I’ve been unpacking our unaccompanied baggage shipment that arrived today.
and other German (or not) happenings
All the Germans on post are very kind. Every last one wished us a happy Thanksgiving last week even though it’s not something they celebrate. My favorite was the man I spoke to to come fix our dryer! He said “haf a heppy… uhhhh… tanksgiffing? Ja.” Loved it! That’s why I think every German person who says their English is not so good, or they only speak a little bit, is full of it! Try hearing my German! I’m still trying to master “may I have” cause it’s full of all these forward facing vowels… ARG!”
