It's Been Awhile...
Oh where oh where do I begin? First, I have not abandoned you my dear blog friends! I have just been so busy with my new life in Germany, though it's been 15 weeks since I arrived here (nearly 4 months!) it all still feels a bit surreal to me. Part of me almost thinks that very soon I will be flying back as I always do each year. Only this year I will *not* be flying back and it seems very odd to me all of a sudden as this time of the year is when we're usually making our arrangements to fly back to Boston. I'm so happy that I'll be staying for the first time in my life! Yay!
More Sex Stories...
My blog is getting steamy... I nearly forgot to relate another sex story. This one took place on Friday. I was in the city with my dear husband and he wanted to go to this French market I told him I'd gone to with my friend Esra. It was only about 8 booths, but the sellers were of course from France and so very lovely (one told me I looked like this gorgeous French TV Host so I loved her especially)... And they only spoke French - some German - some English. So! The sex part.I was at a tent where cookies were being sold. Some French kind, I cannot recall the name. They looked and smelled like little slices of heaven. My husband turned to me and smiled. That meant he wanted some.
Asking For Sex
I'm popping in quickly to share another funny story, though it will be short and sweet because I'm very tired and don't feel like rambling this one time. But today I asked for sex. I meant to ask the waitress for a glass of sekt and she paused, smiled, and said in what would in English mean, "Excuse me?". I thought that when I heard my husband order champagne, or sekt, that he had said "secs" and so I was parroting him as I usually do to pretend I'm someone I'm not as I fake it to make it here in Germany. He was saying sekt, but you see with a German accent on the sharp kt at the end it can sound to an inexperienced American like secs but when I said it, it just sounds like sex
Now I Can Say I've Moved...
Our boxes have arrived! YES! They arrived promptly at 8am, left two hours later, and now I'm standing in a sea of boxes but I'm just sooo happy. Here is a glimpse of Holly central and what I call a train wreck. Time for me to display a smile and my big CAN DO attitude because this is only a snippet of what I have in store for me over the next few days...BUT despite the work, boy is this a very rewarding time for both my husband and I becaus
Beautiful Sunday...
Today is Sunday, we're officially 7 hours ahead of east coast time since we turned our clocks forward (I think a few weeks before America, right?) last night... Anyway, it's Sunday and the day is coming to an end now as I will soon partake in something I love to do when my husband is off with his brother -- chick flick night. Last time I watched The Reader (which I loved despite that he was only 15, gasp!). Tonight, I'm not so sure but my friends, it will be chick-ish for sure. Funny now that I think of it, I watch a lot more films now since I don't care for television here because it's either German and I don't really like watching American shows like Law & Order
