Psssstt!


Pssstt...The Eismann is coming to my house Friday yeah! More to come on that subject after it happens.

F.Y.I....you can NOT leave, slightly freezer burnt, chicken drowned in Alfredo sauce in a 100C oven for 11 hours. You will come home to very shriveled and burnt pieces of something that doesn't even resemble chicken any more. Then to top it off, you will have to come up with something that cooks in 15 minutes or less so that you don't have to go out to eat.

NOT go out to eat you say!?! Need I remind you that I live in Germany where going out to eat is an event to be savored for an hour or two? Even though it's after 6:30pm when you get there, and your youngest child goes to bed at 7pm, it does not matter! No worries (said with a German accent) you will get home when you get home!

I was bummed to find out today that I missed a chance to see an old friend. He was less than 1/2 mile from me and I didn't know it. I know I'll get to see Gumby eventually though, at least I hope so! I mean, to know someone who lives 2 hrs away in a foreign land and not get a chance to connect would be crazy sad!

New German word - Bussi - German slang for a kiss - meant to make someone feel better when injured. It's mostly used to comfort children and is generally seen as a childish/immature word. "aww would you like a bussi to make it feel better?" See, childish and immature, right up my alley! It helps that I say the example sentence at least 10X's a month!

And my parting thought for you this evening? I don't know which person in the picture I'd rather be; the unshaven guy with a growth on his cheek or the elderly, older, oh crap I'm screwed, decent looking woman with bifocals having to have the creepy guy invade her personal space?
