People – tell me, how do you do it? You know, blogging consistently. I am freaking funemployed and I still seem to have problems getting things posted on a regular basis.

It’s asparagus season in Germany, which is seemingly insignificant except for that Germans go crazy over their Spargel. They aren’t just any ole green asparagus, oh no.

Oh hey. It’s nice to be here. You see, this week I have had an issue and it’s called pure, unadulterated lazy.

First, while I still have your attention: tomorrow I am co-hosting Travel Tuesdays with Helene. Get your travel posts ready to link-up, you don’t wanna miss it (or the highlight of my Sunday in Paris). Second, we’re talking ecards today, Someecards, in particular.

Fairy tales do come true! The story of an expats dream coming to fruition. Living abroad, you miss the obvious: people and food.

Read moreI had no intention of blogging today. I’ve already spent the morning at the foreigner’s office in Germany (think DMV where no one speaks English) and I am heading to Stuttgart in a couple of hours for a VERY important reason (ok fine, I have to pick up beerfest reservation tickets because they won’t mail [...]
