Hello!
This week has been smooth sailing so far. Nothing major happened, thankfully. It is cold in Germany – minus 14 degrees Celsius but I love it. We have been outside in the snow this afternoon playing. We took the sled too and it is amazing how we felt like kids again. It just felt right to run up the hill, make snow-angels and stay outside until our hands were red and numb. We ran around until it started getting dark so we bought some cheese-bread and pretzels and walked back home. Home, where it is warm and cozy – a house full of warmth and love and of course a good dinner. Just a perfect day I would say. This is what I have been up to during the week.
Reading: This week I read a ton of online blogs and articles on the New York Times. I am halfway through H is for Hawk by Helen Mcdonald and I found Chocolates for Breakfast by Pamela Moore at the öffentlichen Bücherschrank in Coburg. I like both books so far. If you want to read the latest article about my life and work in New York, read the article published at the Coburger Tageblatt here.
Watching: My husband freaked out a bit when I told him that I have never seen the movie Fight Club. He actually purchased it and we watched it the same night. The movie definitely freaked me out but it was good. I am a huge Woody Allen fan and was really happy to see Irrational Man. I highly recommend this movie.
Looking forward to: A Reiki seminar this weekend at the Sehes Haus in Rödental. I don’t have any Reiki experience yet. I read a bit about it but I try not to clutter my head with too much theoretical terms before the actual seminar but rather be surprised what I will experience and learn. I am always open and interested in something new. Especially when it is about my health and well-being.
Listening to: I love to read the New York Times. Especially on Saturdays when their amazing book review is added. I usually read the column Modern Love and am happy that they do have a free podcast now available on iTunes. Modern Love shares personal stories of people on marriages, parenting, single parenting, gays and lesbians, about drinking too much and so much more. I usually listen to podcasts in the morning when I eat breakfast. I used to listen to podcasts all the time when I commuted to work. In the bus/car/train wherever – time flies and traffic jams are not that bad anymore.
Wondering: I do remember the times playing with My Little Pony when I was a child. We brushed their hair, collected them and play outside for hours while inventing cute stories. I was a little worried about what is happening to humanity when I stumbled across this My Little Pony Convention Website recently. This is a convention for adults dressed up in weird My Little Pony-outfits but this is by far not all. There is so much more weirdness to it. Watch this video below and please let me know what you think. I don’t want to be alone knowing that something like this exists. Again, this is not a convention for kids! Also, listen to Howard Stern on BRONYCON! Here is a link just in case you want to go to BronyCon in Maryland/Baltimore. [shaking my head]
Have a great weekend.
