Team Leader is out of the hospital.
Mom and Dad are safely back in the States.
I am trying to figure out how work is going to fit into this crazy busy life I've inherited...
and
if I have enough sick days to cover the time I've taken off dealing with all the madness!
*sigh*
And...while I'd LOVE to post photos from vacation, family nights, and the hospital...BLOGGER is being stinky, and, won't let me.
*bigger sigh*

finally!
Okay-so I'm going to begin with these photos...I have many more to post, but I actually have work to do before it's midnight and I am freaking out because I'll only have 5 hours before I have to wake up for SCHOOL!
(Um...yes. I do suffer from Sunday Night School Anxiety...last time I checked, wasn't I the teacher?!!)
Waaaayy up high at the Kaufhof with Gaia and GrandpaDad
Look at Me...Look at Gaia...We're in the Olive Store Window!
Mr. Ben, and his hair!
the revolving toilet...brought to you by Gaia!
the starter flakes...beginning the foot of snow...seen and felt outside our flat...that we woke up to...on the first day of our week in Oberstaufen...PRICELESS!

"Blog no. 145" OR "the one where 40 is 39 + 1"
Oh my gosh-
Where to start?
I have no words to describe the last week!
HA! Kidding!
Actually, as I downloaded my photos, I realized I have some serious blogging to catch up on,
blogging that includes photos.
I've been bad, and, that will now change.
Because folks, "40 is 39 + 1".
seriously-
Speaking with 2 days into 40,
40 is cool!
First-all my hugs, and, so much love to Lori, Lana, Leah, Jen, Chris, Tosh, Tommy, Miles, and Simon, Julie, Todd, "Honey Bear," "Ellie Belle," Harrison Family, and my sweet Erika for all the "e-love" a girl could ask for!
Trust me, for those not there...yet...(Froy Lana-heh!)...it's a great birthday, and you totally feel the love! You really do!
But-having my parents with me and MY family-that was fabulous!
Second-Chugging-well drinking really b/c the beer here is WHOA beer and not for playing-a "Muncher Weiss" with family and new friends in the HOFBRAU HAUS was really cool, and so yum delish!
I have a great new appreciation for beer, even though my heart still yearns for a "Lucky" (circa 1985 folks-such memories!) the above mentioned libation was worth the wait.
Third-who knew that I had taken so many snaps up til now?! honestly!
Fourth-my family is amazing.
seriously amazing.
I'm so lucky-I am.
What a wonderful group of people, and, I'll take them over anyone any day of the week...
warts and all.
Fifth-I've had my husband reaffirm the truth in his vow to protect me from all evil...including psycho German bicyclists who refuse to move their bikes away from perfectly good seating on a train ride to Munich (2 + hours away) so that "old people" can sit down...SUCH a funny story! That post will be titled with expletives...
big-well-biggish 4 letter words.
LOTS of biggish 4 letter words.
on the train...
biggish 4 letter words.
Sixth-I can walk my a** off thanks to increased lung capacity courtesy of the Alps.
Seventh-I am a "Carb-o-holic" and Germany is my enabler...
Eighth-I don't care that I love carbs. I love them, and am willing to do the work to get a big butt.
Ninth-I think the movie "Enchanted" is sweet...and the world should be a nicer place. I'm very worried that it isn't...
seriously, I am-I think we're "going to hell in a henbasket" and the nightly news scares the crap out of me.
Tenth-My mom has begun the next 40 years of my life as crazy as the first 40.
She thinks she's developed diabetes today because her crappy glasses broke and she can't see...
(Now I'm in BIG trouble for typing that!!)
heh.
It's okay...I'm 40 and well...I'll say it again, 40 is 39 + 1.
*Thanks Pres!*
