Was sich halt so tut....

• The temperatures are dropping and dropping now, we're having around 19.2 degrees right now- brrrrr!!!! Fahrenheit obviously, otherwise we would have a very very mild winter ;) So it is really cold, about -7 degrees Celsius..I am glad that my dad brought my wintercoat with him when he visited me, otherwise I would really be freezing right now..(or would have to spend money on a new one ;) )

• The cold weather brought a cold for me with it... although it is getting better, I can't spend my time on doing exercise every day right now, as I used to. But this is not that bad on the other hand, because now I have time for reading, working on my scrapbook and  planning the trip to NYC with Mama, Claudia and Susie in one and a half weeks!!!

• Can you believe that they will be here in almost a week? I CAN'T, but it is sooo awesome (excuse me, OSUM!!!)! We will see West Side Story on Broadway, go ice skating at the Rockefeller Center and get to do a nighttour through Manhatten!! Mama and Claudia are also going to spend some time in PA with me- I am so looking forward to that time!!!
• I didn't do my Christmas shopping yet...I know, it is time.. ;)

• The kids are being very good for me..of course, sometimes I have to tell them to do things five times, but most of the time we are spending quality time together like doing arts and crafts, reading, and also playing games helps to build up good relationship :)



• Yesterday I spend an amazingly nice evening with my friend Andrea from Sweden- she came over to my place and we were relaxing, talking, eating chocolate and having a great time- I can see that I can really build up some good relationships from all over the world (mostly from Europe) here- it is incredible! Thanks for this evening, Andrea :)




Andrea and me in summer


• I signed up for the Spring semester- I am going to learn some more Spanish- oh yeah! :) Neumann College can keep me a little longer ;)

Well folks, enjoy the last week before Christmas! :)

Love,
