The Christmas markets started last Wednesday aka I've been a few times! :) I love them!!! I have missed the Glühwein. Katie is getting right into loving it as well! They also have a eggnog liquor drink that looks amazing. I will have to try it soon. Maybe today. lol.
It's raining! Ah! I went for a run and it felt great having the rain on my face. I made a pumpkin soup this morning before 9AM. I'm turning into my mother. I'm going on a hunt for almond extract today so I can make the yummy sugar cookies we always make at x-mas time. Then I will make the dough and eat half of it.
The last au pair for the fam go in on Friday and she will be leaving to go back home on the 7th. She seems nice but as one of the cleaning ladies put it - "you are like day and night." The kids have been good and healthy and very happy the past few days since the 24 days of x-mas have begun and that means every morning they get a gift in their stocking-ish from der Nikolas! I got Advents Kalander Tee which means everyday I get a new tea! It's super cool. We have continued working on our snowflake collection which just keeps growing! We have almost covered 6 windows now. And we finished all of our styrofoam ball ornaments.
I made a pumpkin cheesecake pie on Sunday! It was delicious. But seeing as I haven't eaten milk products (besides chocolate) in the past two weeks I got a little sick that night and in the morning still felt a little bit like crap. But Katie felt sick the next day too so maybe it was something else. . No turkey was made for our faux Thanksgiving- me being a vegetarian and all. But my friend Katie made some yummy potato wedges and I did a roasted onion dish thingy. The pie was the yummiest part naturally.
Mr. Pakistan got a little too interested for my liking. Kept on crossing over onto my desk and popping my bubble. Sent me a poem in English (we normally talk in German) about people being beautiful or something. Creeped me out. I blocked his number but then I answered the phone when I didn't know the number and it ended up being him and he was like I called you yesterday a couple times when I got off work to see if you wanted to hang out and I then told him I have a boyfriend and he is just okay with that idea. He was nice in class on Monday, still sat next to me but I think he got the hint. He is a bit too old for me and just so not my type!
Tickets for Prague have been bought! Yipee!!!!!! We are going the 27th through the 30th and it seems that our group is continuing to grow and we are up to maybe 13 people? It's going to be crazy!
Going out tomorrow night to the Irish pub! I'll be looking for the guys in suits. lol. Or just having a lot of un people watching. Karaoke. OH DEAR. Shall be a lot of fun I'm sure. :)
24 DAYS TILL AMY GETS HERE!! Gotta love her. So excited!
