Brrrrrrrrrr

It has gotten COLD here! I bought some gloves this week since I lost my old ones and I looked a bit ridiculous riding my bike with my socks on my hands. :) Upgrade!

I am doing good. I am getting over the two weeks of havoc on my body that Halloween reeked.  I feel like I wrote that sentence like a German would. Hmm. Special.

Busy busy - I have been having fun at work, as usual. Love my kids. Love the people I work with. Have I said this before? Probably. This weekend was pretty relaxing. Met up with some friends for GLÜHWEIN! So excited about the xmas season around the corner. Two weeks till Xmas markets start. Woot!

Today I made some cookies that I can eat! They are super yummy and basically just peanut butter or almond butter. Only other ingredients - raisins, smashed up walnuts and almonds, and some coconut flakes to coat them. Semi-healthy and I can eat them! And eat them I did. I got the idea from this Recipe, but basically just through in what I had around. Em's doesn't like the PB flavor so next time I am thinking of adding some honey and cocoa? We will see...

Emily and I hung out a lot today. We played hairdresser and I must say I made a pretty awesome wrap around french braid. Kayleen would be proud. Then we took a nice walk to a Gelato shop. It was very cold outside, but since it has not rained in, I don't know... 2 months?, it was a beautiful blue sky walk kicking up the crunchy leaves on the ground.

Finished The Second Short Life of Bree Tanner aka Twilight book last week and it was decidedly too short. Oh well. Finished The Little Prince, which is everywhere here. Now I have started Outlander. I have heard of it before and so far so good.

Parent teacher conferences this week, dinner party, Laura Marling concert, Eichstätt this weekend (SO EXCITED!), Breaking Dawn movie release next week with 18 friends, Thanksgiving at a friends next weekend (I am in charge of making the pumpkin pie and it will be gluten and diary free. Woot!), Hamburg the next weekend, and Regensburg the next. Then it is basically winter break. Who is coming to visit me?

Love and Miss.
