I am soooo confused - somebody help me understand the following scenario:
Jade went to a birthday party this afternoon, involving most of her classmates and a nicely padded, secured, mostly clean indoor playground.

Smile! Grin! ROFL!

Read somebody else's twitter about a comic strip (which I didn't get) and was overjoyed (and awake again) to find out, that BABY BLUES will have book No. 24 out soon.

Check out this video - I wonder if Jade will be getting the phonics kick soon (imagine my freshly cut hair stand up without hairspray):

Nachdem ich heute endlich mal geschafft habe, mit Heike zu telefonieren, habe ich etwas Heimweh bekommen.
Mal so eben ueber den grossen Teich beamen, das waer doch was..., stimmt's Antje?
Dann war da noch eine e-mail von jemandem aus meiner "ST Vergangenheit" - ob ich noch bestimmte Photos von der CC'93 habe - klar habe ich, aber ich weiss wirklich nicht wo.

Need more hours in the day

Another day has come and gone and I haven't even finished 50% of my projects - or should I be more optimistic and say that I've got half of it done?
Not sure...
A look onto my google calendar - there will be another hour missing this weekend as the US (at least the side closer to Europe) will be changing their clocks on Sunday.

Today was a good day for the environment - 5 people in a 7 seater going to dinner - a good Indian restaurant in Mt. Kisco - and having plenty to talk and laugh about. Conversation mostly in German with a few sentences thrown in in English as some situations are easier expressed in that language.

Nice amount of dusty snow fell today - perfect for making snow angels and a little bit of sledding near the Country Club of our town.
Back into the daily routine today and declaring war on dustballs on the staircase - my trusty Miele and me won!
Just finished watching another Episode of
LEVERAGE and now back to reading THE READER.

Thanks to helpful husband and plenty of French Toast (ups...English Muffins that is) I did manage to upload my first twitpic. Phone camera has obvious limitations and the mesh doesn't help either, but it is a start.

Na gut, ich gebe zu, dass ich mich geirrt habe.
Der Wagen hat eine leichte Schneedecke und oben, unter dem Dach, wo unser Schlafzimmer ist, sind es gerade mal noch kuschelige 15.7 Grad C.
Noch ein paar Seiten im "Der Vorleser" lesen, bevor ich das Sandmaennchen besuche.

Anybody else on Twitter?
I found a few cool people on it and amongst my favorites are Stephen Fry and Wil Wheaton.
A little Brit humor goes a long way.

I am trying to be as techno-savvy as my husband, but I have a long windy road ahead of me and I am bound to have a few crashes, so please bear with me.

Grrr..

Yes, of course - I should listen to my computer when it complains about being on reserve power.
Had another entry nearly finished when it happened.
Oh well, here we go again....

Chrissi hat heute Geburtstag und statt ihr eine e-card zu schicken, werde ich meine Wuensche einfach hier loswerden- Herzlichen Gluehstrumpf an Deinem Tag - wir hoffen Du hattest einen tollen Tag ohne Stress.
