Strawberries. Especially when they only cost €1 / pound and taste great.

In four days I'm going to be out of this wretched office and laying on a sun-drenched beach enjoying cocktails, 30+ degree weather and the sight of the turquoise ocean (and my man with no shirt on).

I had two wisdom teeth removed yesterday by an excellent oral surgeon who is now my hero!!! No laughing gas, no twilight anesthesia, just local anesthesia and I didn't feel a thing and I have no pain post surgery and I'm only using a little Motrin.
I postponed getting them out for 12 years because I was afraid of the pain.

I was finally granted a freelance visa! AND they gave me the reduction on my Deutsch sprachkurs without me even having to ask for it.
I'm printing up a MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner that will symbolize my ultimate victory in the War on German Bureaucracy.

I have some freinds that are wonderful cooks and cocktail makers, and they invite me over lots. Had a great evening tonight with some super friends, even if one did take the piss when my Canadian accent pops out every now and then.

Okay, even though the Canadian Women let the American Women have the Gold in IceHockey (we have won 11 out 13 times), we still reign in curling! The Canadian Mens team just beat Scotland in the Final. WhoHoo! The Pipes and Drums came in to bring the trophy to the Mens Team.
Norway won the Bronze! Wow, what a hot looking team they are! Need to plan that trip to Norway next summer!
enough to make one homesick in a good way.

I just bought my ticket to go to Germany in 5 weeks!

(and it was cheap! half the price of what I would've paid if I went in July)
i'll be able to meet up with some friends, meet some people i've been wanting to meet, have 11 nice days with my boyfriend, go pick up the puppy, fly the puppy back to the US with me, and so much more!
Hopefully I'll be able to convince people to go to a beergarden (or out for drinks) in tracht. hint hint... any takers?
oh, I have a crappy seat on the way there and don't have one, yet, on the return flight, but at least there are good movies for the flight there!

yah! I am actually in town this time to visit with you mere!
I am happy, as my two long work days are finished, so its smooth sailing for the rest of the week now, and I had a really nice patient in today, that thought I was the cats meow, and went out in the rain after his appointment to bring me a box of chocolates (my favs too!) for being such a nice person. Makes my job easier when one knows they are appreciated.

Not exactly happy but laughing my head off at work about this:
Cat fight in Lohhof:
QUOTE
Coco came into the garden and him and Hex went for it big style, half the grass is covered in cat fur (I just took a pic), I booted Coco but only had my slippers on so have ended up pulling a couple of his claws out of my foot which I just had to wash all the blood off in the bath. He didn’t seem to care that I had booted him he clung on to my foot and bit me and stuck his claws in! need new slippers again, the right one is covered with blood from my foot!!! Emily was all set to join in the fun but I managed to pull the door shut and keep her inside, but she was going to bail in to support Hex.

Emily BTW has only 3 legs and quite small but was game on for defending the back garden as her and Hex's (farting cat) territory, normally Hex and Emily fight, but never like this, this was a full on cat fight, there is cat fur all over the lawn, Hex looks like he has lost a couple of claws as well, I know Coco from across the road has, as i pulled them out of my foot
the shit is these slippers are only a few weeks old

had a good time last night on my "date"* with one of my best friends and had a good, free meal!
*not a date, but whenever he and i hang out alone and my mom finds out she calls it a date since she thinks he'd be a good son-in-law. So now we jokingly say it's a date whenever it's just the two of us hanging out.

Because after having had a row with the German customs office in Garching-Hochbrück yesterday as my parcel had been reposted before the Frist had finished (and was ready to tear into the responsible civil servant on Monday as they had kindly finished work at 12noon on Friday), my parcel from New Zealand containing herbal tea and spa stuff from
Hanmer Springs has turned up at my flat without any kind of customs charge whatsoever.
I don't understand it, but I like it.
