January 2008

I know I've been quite lazy this past month, when it comes to this blog at least..... And to packing..... I hate packing with a passion. As soon as you start to pack, your flat doesn't feel like home anymore and it is a mess for weeks. That's what ours has been like. We were really motivated at the beginning of the month, so we started packing up the spare room, which looks like it's been hit by a bomb ever since. After the first two boxes, I got tired with it, shut the door and just kept opening it to dump more sh** in it:-)
You might be wondering what got me to write now... Well, I just had my new keyboard and screen delivered, so I wanted to try it out. And obviously, the best way to try out a keyboard is to write as much as you can.
It's only 5 days until our furniture is picked up and shipped back to the UK. And it is only 9 days until we will squeeze into our wonderful car, with the hamster and the rabbit and get the ferry back to the island. I am not sure how I feel yet... I am looking forward to it, but it is also a bit scary, since we don't know what the house is like, or what is gonna happen while we are there. We will meet lots of new people and we'll have to make new friends.... Well, we want to make new friends!
I am keeping my job in Germany and work from home (that's why I got a screen and a keyboard to go with my beautiful MacBook). Every few weeks I will be traveling back to Germany to spend a couple of days at my company and maybe, hopefully see my parents and brother and sister.
So, yes, I need to start packing today..... even though I would rather spend more time telling you about how I feel! I have to apologise for feeling so sorry for myself.... CAN'T HELP IT!
Take care everyone!
P.S.: @André: Wenn du dies liest.... Ich hoffe ich habe nicht zu viel Privatleben für deinen Geschmack preisgegeben:-) Ich werde es vermissen, dir die animierten Smileys in Real life vorzuführen! Aber am 3.3. bin ich wieder da für ein paar Tage!!

Welcome 2008

Sooo much has been going on over the last couple of weeks.... with christmas and the wedding and the new year starting.... and I would like to write about everything, but at the moment, I feel so tired. I will start anyway, so in case the blog entry just stops in the middle of a sentence, don't be too surprised!

We spent christmas at my mom and dad's in Lüneburg. That way, we didn't have to rush up after christmas for the wedding. It was a rather quiet christmas, not as much food as every other year, which was really nice, especially since we knew that the days after christmas would be exhausting enough.

On the 27th the first few friends came up for the wedding. So that night we went out for a few drinks and some food. We had a really good time, and left a lot too late.... which we only realized the morning after, when we had to get up early to start picking people up from the airport. So, it was the day before the big day already and it was such a long day. When we went out with everyone that was there already that night, people started telling me I looked ill! In the end I went home at 11p.m. and straight to bed. I slept really, really well that night and god knows I needed that good night of sleep!
