Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Those are actually really good

Jack frost nipping at your nose--you know he is a personification of winter?

yule tide carols being sung by a choir--or you know just that crazy chick

and folks dressed up like eskimos--cute

in other news it's nearly christmas which is exciting and a bit sad. Im almost done with christmas shopping I just want to get a couple books for my au pair kids. But most my shopping was done like a while ago since it had to be sent back to the states...ok I have a couple gifts that wont get sent till after the holidays since I was going to get them in Nurnburg.

Im hoping to buy my plane ticket next month so then people can officially start counting down to when I come home instead of just a vague general idea that keeps changing

So even though I love Germany--I wish I were home for christmas and I wish I was going back to school next semester I miss it I miss being a student its like completely awesome! But its weird to think of where I was a year ago going to visit my mom in the hospital in Denver and then my sister in Durango it doesn't seem that long ago. But so many things have changed I know things back home have changed a lot but honestly so have I. I think many of you will be surprised by this when I get back home. I'm more confident, more comfortable in my own skin, and a bit more outgoing. My motto has kind of come to be just own it! cause you are who you are no excuses or apologies. Yes I'm kind of a dork and on occasion a bit too impulsive and unpredictable but I like who I am and I'm happy I get the chance to develop and round out my personality through these amazing experiences I'm having that are based on impulsive decisions. I think with my heart a lot and I like that.

Ok quick messages to my family

Dad-Thanks for supporting my craziness and being there for me when I need you. Thank you for keeping a spot open for me in your life. Little things here will remind me of you and make me smile. I wish you could come visit me since I know it'd be exciting to be here again. Good luck with school next semester!

Mom-Thanks for thinking about me so often and all of your support. Thanks to you I always have my eyes out for bunnies :) Miss you I'll be home soon!

Beth-I miss you so much I wish I could see you this christmas and I hope you like your gift! I hope that the holiday is super fun for you I bet your excited to see kempers face christmas morning! I know I would be. Talk to you soon

Granny--Thank you for your support and concern I hope you know that I apprieciate all that you have done to help me in my life. Have a beautiful christmas.

And a happy new year.

Baby it's cold outside

So sometimes my friends will just give me a look that says--wow you're young and I just want to say OF COURSE I AM. I've always been mature for my age and thats not bragging it's just true. A lot of people forget that I'm still really young because of what I'm doing and what my personality is like, but I'm twenty. Sometimes I want to be crazy and stupid and young and immature because well I'm twenty. A few months ago I was still a teenager, I'm still going through college, I still have many crazy years left in me. So don't put me in a box and let me screw up without giving me a look that says I'm not who you thought I was. Because I'm always me and one of those things is young--we are learning our whole lives and well I'm further behind than many of you.

dear Friendernets

I feel that Ive been neglecting you horribly why those of you that only read my blog wouldn't know that I recently(ie a month ago) cut off all my hair

see its cute. I still forget I have short hair but I really like it although I may have picked the wrong time to do it

also its been snowing here! Like crazy It feels like the end of December not the beginning.

Also its crazy that its December I've almost been here a year! I realize that some of you make think back to my older posts and say shouldn't her next sentence be like Also I come home in a month? sadly no I'm still here for another few months but its defiantly winding down.

and life goes on..bis bald!

Institute challenge

So this month the challange from insti is to write a letter to our parents and tell them 5 things that youre grateful for--I thought this was funny since its around thanksgiving (which doesnt exist here)' and here it goes

Dear Mom and Dad

I thank you for giving me every oppertunity I asked for the lessons for piano, for dance, for acting. Thank you for your support every recital, banquet, play, speech, event you sat through every practice you drove me to. Thank you for childhood traditions, homeade pizza on christmas eve, sunday dinners of popcorn and icecream, our chocolate chip cookies. Thank you for letting me travel the world. Thank you for helping me to get an education. Thank you for bringing me up in the gospel. Thank you for being my parents.

love,

Anne Katherine

My sister and I.

bad at blogging

lately I havent been posting
and its not because I have nothing to post about
quite on the contrary(I wish english had the word doch) I have tons to talk about
been busy one of my good friends just went home
its just no desire to take the time to type it out
too much effort with my computer
since its slowly dying

on an exciting note going to see harry potter soon.

oh so the holiday season is coming up
we're having a pseudo thanksgiving this friday but to be honest Im pretty sad

I love thanksgiving its my favourite and not because of the food
its the weather the people the lazyness

and I love black friday its not the shopping we never go but we do
put up the tree and all the other decorations while singing christmas songs there is often cookies

and I love it

christmas here will be really cool but theres nothing like christmas at home

happy november everybody

Taylor and Photos

Ok so first off Taylor Swifts new album Speak Now came out...and its awesome some of the songs are a bit more sad but mostly for me its the same stuff I love about her songs--they just make you happy I really like taylor swift because she isnt afraid to show who she is a quality I highly respect and revere.

Ok so next these are pictures of Lara who turned one on tuesday I tried to focus on the positive negative space...don't you guys already feel bad for my future kids :)

it was truely a beautiful day

Heut ist so ein schonen Tag

happy halloween all.

Out of touch

Thats what I feel
out of touch
with friends
with family
with life
with me
with this blog


seriously no one talks to me...which is lame and don't feel bad...or too bad
I mean its hard Im 6-8 hours ahead of you guys not even my family talks to me that often.
but I literally had a near-death experience and no one said anything about it.

I've been so busy lately hanging out with friends and just running around doing stuff I feel a bit out of touch with me I haven't really had time to just chill by myself or even enough time to do everything I want to.

I've changed a lot over the past year and I don't feel like I always get the time to learn about myself.

so heres a question how do I get back in touch? how do I feel less disconnected?

How can I feel like Im in limbo in my own mind....

In Touch

So everyone in our house got sick over the past week but I didn't really notice that I was sick until yesterday when I finally had a chance to slow down. Honestly I should have realize it I went to bed at 9 two nights in a row there's been a definite lack of appetite. But yesterday I finally had a chance to slow down and almost fell asleep against a cabinet. But then suddenly I felt a prompting that I needed to take my temperature-so I did. I had a fever but it wasn't that high I told the other ladies that I needed to go to bed. But its a really good thing that I didn't just go to bed. Just a few hours later my fever had risen to 103.1 my friends that I had been consulting told me I had to find medicine right then! so I went and talked to the ladies so I could get some meds.

as a side note one of them also made me random teas and wrapped my feet in vinegar soaked cloths and tried to get me to eat a whole onion.

Ok so then I went to sleep but today my fever went back up really high and I went into the doctor and apparently my throat is all inflamed and they prescribed some meds but I don't recall ever having had such a high fever before so it kind of scares me

also what scares me is that if I had ignored those feelings and just went to bed last night....

Now I'm much better no reason for alarm

Let's share

ok now its your turn spill and I promise my points aren't like on who's line is it anyways.

Nanny diary: entry 14 Lara lou

So lara actually talks a little now she says like mama and baba and shes very expressive like the other day she communitated to me that she wanted to go out in a certain stroller she shows me where she wants to go..

Lara cant crawl but she does get around by like rolling and scooting and then she can finally sit up on her own and pull herself up to stand and stand with only one hand holding something and she can walk while holding someones hands

Shes a true little girl and she loves shoes and putting them on and looking cute she gets pleased with herself

spending my days with this sweet little girl lifts me up with just how purely happy she can be and she makes me excited to be a mom I have friends who talk about how hard it is and I get that but at the end of the day...I love a baby's laugh and Im excited to be able to help harbor a little life.

If you havent seen it go watch taylor swift's new music video mine

Shopping

;-.0.PBIUH., K ,--a message from Lara

Ok so I kind of really like to shop, I enjoy getting new clothes

but if you ever want to get me something never get me clothes unless your my sister cause Im a bit picky about my style.

get me a book instead or a movie I loooove books seriously I LOVE them they are just awesome I really love anthologies. But I hate books with movie covers

Ok all of this was more coherent in my head. oh well.

high 6!

night all

just one of those days

bah.

thats how I feel today. Kind of a someone just shoot me before anything else can happen type of feeling.

it's friday which for most people means yippee the weekend but for me means I've been working for 5 days getting up very early each of these days after little and poor sleep. it means I just feel done. And on top of that I still work saturdays.

My one day off a week is Sunday on which I get up early to go to church....its usually very tempting to just stay in bed. So all in all I'm just tired also every morning about 4 am when erk wakes up and starts yelling Im very tempted to yell at him to shut up. Ive yet to do this which I feel is a sort of small accomplishment.

note to people who coddle your children: stop--they are probably freaking annoying.

oh so I decided to take a year off of school and go move to Germany; most people have told me this was a brave decision yada yada yada. Heres the thing: it wasnt.

not in the slightest.

see most of the reason I took off was I was scared life was moving too fast and I had no idea of where I was going tired of running with no visible means of stopping or in what direction I was going. So I did something I'm good at I ran into a tree so I would stop. Thinking I could take a pause from my life and start running again in a year. Things don't exactly work like this because everyone else keeps running--maybe even running past you. and life keeps moving forward. and I still have no idea what Im doing. some days I like that today though...today it sucks

I mean I love being here its amazing but sometimes I wish I had stayed even though I know it was a good decision to come here because I was either going to have to take a break from school or go into debt there. at least this way I got to travel. but today Ill be honest I miss home I miss being a student I miss my friends and I'm tired of everyone running past me.

but what I love is that a 2 minute conversation with a girlfriend can make it all seem slightly less tragic who says frivolity doesnt have it's advantages?

vacuuming

so as a child I hated vacuuming I would go around the house and pick up all the little crap on the ground (essentially more work and less effective) so it would look like I vacuumed

my mom would always know I hadn't vacuumed and it took me years to ask how in the freaking world she could tell...something about the stupid lines in the carpet.

In college I did custodial and I hated vacuuming so I became a supervisor so I could make other people do it.

I now vacuum every day I still hate it....stupid vacuuming

blogging falling and other such things

so first off I've noticed that people have stopped reading my blog...except my parents. This probably means that my blog has become less entertaining but not to worry now that I can once again feel that no one is reading it I hope it will become more so again.

Also I've noticed my blog has little to do with what I actually do in day to day life--sorry what I do isn't all that interesting to me. But I like talking.

falling--My friends even say that I have a wonderful talent of not falling; tripping stumbling slipping but rarely falling. My legs are covered in bruises from running into things it's chill though.

Smiling--Have you ever not been able to find words to say because you were just too busy smiling?

ok thats it now back you your normal lives

Smile

Shall we dance?

and laugh and sing

hold that thought

its now sept 5

Cinderella was a young girl She did her best to please the people who would never let her dreams come true She wore the rags that they passed down Until the day she found a perfect pair of shoes She could tell by the size they were only meant for her And when she put them on, from that moment she was sure when she said "I've been waking too long in somebody else's shoes I've been tripping on the laces, running into empty spaces And I've been hanging around with people who make me blue But I'm not walking anymore in those shoes" Back here in real life, I read that story and I wonder if I'm just the same as she I'm wrapped in worldly visions, and my split decisions take me places That I never meant to be And now the great and spacious building has me scrubbing down the floors And I've got to find a way to tell them I can't work there anymore cause I've been walking too long in somebody else's shoes I've been tripping on the laces, running into empty spaces And I've been hanging around in places that hide the truth But I'm not walking anymore In those shoes Give me shoes that are comfortable on the straight and narrow way With a soul that God can see straight through Because my toes are curling under in the ones that I've been wearing I need a pair that makes me feel brand new I've been walking too long in somebody else's shoes I've been tripping on the laces, running into empty spaces And I've been hanging around in places that hide the truth But I'm not walking anymore In those shoes I'm not walking anymore in those shoes

Thats somebody else's shoes by cherie call

it just kind of rocks.

Ill post thoughts in a more date appropriate post

new post

SO I haven't posted in about a month...how unlike me.

Not even to whine and trust me I've been pleanty whiny, but for two and a half weeks I didn't have internet. I was in Turkey at the time....it sucked

I also decided I don't see the point of a vacation where you go and just stay in a hotel.

go to an amusement park

visit family

see a city

but freaking do something.

and I can get my own drinks I don't like being served.

being a nanny is like killing my energy to write--this doesnt promote motherhood to me

I read every single jane austen novel on the trip...she kind of has weak endings--still loved them.

Im trying to crochet more again its good for me

I've lost most of my desire to eat meat.

I miss people back home...I dont really miss america

I really love stuttgart--but here's still not home

just home for now.

don't ever assume people don't have time to talk to you after they move

just because I can't see you doesn't mean I care less.

ice creams good. drama sucks.

thats all good night and good luck

Nanny diary: entry 13 (bully)

I have a bully

he's three years old

his name is Erk

Today he:

threw things after I asked him not to

yelled at me

woke up his sister

because he wouldn't listen when I said mama wasnt in there

wouldn't play where he was supposed to

and when I tried to get him to

he screamed at me and hit me

it still kind of hurts

after all this I'll admit it:

I cried

if I'm ever a mom and my kids are ever such brats feel free to tell me

D:

medical oddities

So you all know about my mysterious three year headache

but did you know...

that occasionally after I stand up my vision tunnels until everything is black and I have to hold onto something so I don't fall over

a couple of times I have literally collapsed from this

but this hadn't happened to me for I think like over a year

but then a couple days ago up til now like every other time I stand up it happens

this isn't exactly good since sometimes I need to get somewhere quickly

having to pause to wait for my vision to clear and the dizziness to pass isn't good.

and because I hate going to the doctor this problem may never be puzzled out

I don't see any immediate danger more of an annoyance

oh as a note

remember once in a while you should close the computer turn off the tv and read a book

it may make you think more but thats a good thing.

love,

anne katherine

utterly completely and totally

forgettable.

have you ever felt forgettable?

I hate being the center of attention

but some days it'd just be nice to be remembered.

Nanny diary: entry 12

Highlight:

Didem attempted to give Luda( Gerd's father) a plate of goodies she had made up for him when vistors came

Lara decided to take this oppertunity to have her first piece of cake stealing it right off the plate and shoving it into her mouth before anyone could take it away

what a mess....what a girl.

Eskimo kisses

this is my foot...and the black see in Istanbul.
Calene Hank and I at the USA game
Carlene Meryl and I watching the USA England game at an Irish pub
Eskimo Kisses! lol
I realize that I actually never ever talk about what I do on here....hmmm sorry about that

Life here has been pretty chill lots of football...erm soccer.

I have next weekend free..I'm pretty excited

right now Id like to play games like mother may I red rover and red light green light

also would love some chips Im in a snacking mood.

quote:love is all you need

Yes I am tired,

tired of hearing I look tired.

work is ok but I work a lot can't fall asleep till late and because I have to every day of the week I wake up early

I don't wear make-up because its stupid and most days pointless

so you can tell I have circles under my eyes

and I mean it doesnt make me mad but

I know Im tired

I dont need to hear it.

adding random facts:

I like to shower in the middle of the day

I like natural light

I like the world when everything is quiet

but also when it's really busy

sometimes Im an idiot

Random thoughts

--you took my heart out of it and put it somewhere else

--I don't like the internet sometimes it makes me forget how big the world is

--Today forget courage forget experiences forget having the time of my life

I just want to go home.

--this is just more proof I can't settle.

--I still think everyone will forget about me before I'm back.

--I hate when people use ya instead of you in things like miss ya or love ya

its hard to add too to ya and if you change to you it makes you seem more serious

--when does something go from being a joke to being real?

--if this is a preview of whats to come...Im ok with that.

"to sir with love"

youre nobody

until somebody loves you.

or so they say.

ok so Ive been told I can be a bit of an old man that I like my routine

which is true I like to have a routine

but I also can't stand for things to stau the same for too long

I'm always looking ahead to the next step

settling down and "growing-up" don't really appear on the horizon either

makeing decisions sucks...having to figure things out before deadlines trying to figure out if you can swing it.

bah whatever

heres a quote:

you cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you just might find you get what you need.

me: mom mom mom mom mom mom(can be replaced w/ dad)

mom: What???

me:....I love you.

I hate being touched

quote:

everyday is valentines day for those of us that are basically lovable

^^is that right Beth>?

things I love

I love to sing

most people know this

but to let you know most people havent heard me sing

I mean really sing

because Im shy...

I love to write

like can't live don't care if anyone sees it

love.

I love chocolate

as you all know

I love a baby's laugh

its pure happiness

nothing is really better

I love my family

even if I can't stick around

I love the beach

the smell of the waves

the breeze

the sand

I love the city

the hussle and bussle

the movement

the noise

hey love

you make me forget

that I'm grown

that I'm already on my own

that I'm going home alone.

you make me wish

that I was forward

that I wouldn't fall apart

that I wasn't awkward

you make me think

good gosh I must be doing something

right.

Irreplaceable

if you keep your heart an arms length away
it makes it easier to leave

if you don't let people become irreplaceable
it never really hurts

beware of the girl that can carry her life
exactly like a turtle

because chances are high that she's

already moved on

100 Strokes

100 makes it perfect
100 makes an impression
100 makes it last.

it leaves room for a lot of loss
but more improvement

there's a rhythm

the first one hurts

the hundredth is routine

isn't it funny

they some people can be really important in your life but they never come up?

so here a quick shout out

to my 3 best friends

my best 4 girlfriends

my amazing roommates

2 guys I know I would go crazy without

3 girls I know I can always go to

even though I don't get to talk to my friends very often or even talk about them.

even though I don't truely miss them cause I get used to being away from them

I love to know that with everyone of these people I could always call out of the blue

that even if we don't stay friends we had an impact on one anothers lives

and that I will always be able to look back at different times in my life and smile

sometimes solely because they exist

because I know I generally don't talk about these people here you all don't know how important they are to me. But then again...you don't truly know very much about me or what I do cause when it comes down to it my personal life is extremely private.

quote:

My life has no purpose, no direction, no aim, no meaning, and yet I'm happy. I can't figure it out. What am I doing right?

My host family got back on Monday. I randomly ran into a friend today and they told me I looked tired. My response? I work A LOT.

also dealing with a little boy is kind of hard for me especially one that is kind of (or really) spoiled (if my host family some how reads this...I'm totally kidding please don't send me home)

Erk shows a lot of tendencies towards aggression his games include a lot of corporal punishment and he totally hit a little boy at the park at the other day...I don't understand this, just like I don't understand the total lack of desire to share. bah.

well locked out.

yesterday I spent a wonderful day outside and also went to the staatsgalarie which is free on Wednesday and Sundays

even though I took a nap outside and burnt my face a bit it was truly lovely

when I came home I went to check the mail, completely emptying my bag in order to find my key.

which wasn't there.

So I had to call my host mom who called the maid that has a key who was going to come by in 2 and a half hours to let me in. In the mean time I retraced my steps to see if I could find it along the way but pretty sure I just left it inside.

After a lot of fun that included going to a tanning salon to use the bathroom I got back in the house and the key was here THANK GOODNESS

RANT

This was going to be at the bottom of my last post but I felt like it was getting too long. Also for those of you that may not be member you may not understand all I am about to say but you should know that missionaries are good and they do righteous work and I am sure it's very hard to go so long in a monk-like existence. yes that was a disclaimer.

My dear internets something that you may not know about me [even after all this time] is that for some reason missionaries like to flirt with me. This doesn't differ from the general rule that boys flirt with me but don't date me...there are theories on that but lets not discuss them.

This should possibly not bother me but it does. I've had friends tell me well don't be a temptation blah blah blah. yes ok I do that. I sit by people in church so the whole stake conference somehow sitting by 10 elders doesn't happen again. And generally I don't seek them out to talk to them.

But here's the thing. I'm nice. I'm also flirty. They are still 19-21 year old boys.

Here it's kind of understandable cause I speak English yadayadayada. but still.

Like the elders from the American ward I happened across as I was walking and one of them told me his first name....not really a big deal but I like to have the feeling of being professional. Also him and his companion keep telling me I should go to their ward.

In light of next year I should probably figure out how to make this stop. Maybe being older will help cause I can't just be mean....

Rant over back to your normal activities and scheduled blogging.

follow-up

IF you dislike those entries that make you roll your eyes and remember that I am just a whiny teen-aged girl....you probably won't like this one

So I spent my Sunday afternoon reading MBP

ja ja get over yourselves--I mean as a kid my family spent Sunday evening watching wonderful world of disney on abc and eating ice cream and popcorn for dinner....beats all the fancy dinners Ive ever had.

But anyway for some reason I love this blog.

Perhaps because of several open guy friends I already know boys think like this.

Maybe its because I hate to date.

Maybe because I'm no longer in Utah and don't have to put up with these sort of things.

But here are my thoughts on this blog

THE WRITERS:

two typical mormon RM's...that live in Utah.

yes they are typical.

the fact that no one knows who they are makes them honest

and brave(kind of like missionaries...more on that later)

Their fake names are Jake and Calvin(LOVE that he uses calvin's picture). Not sure which one I like more...it changes

depends which one is being more whiny//idiotic at the moment. Honestly both are pretty funny. But as far as I can tell like most boys they are probably more talk than walk in real life.

I notice they on occasion describe people in a Seinfeld like way--decided this is a boy thing

(my ex and his roommates consistently did this as well.)

And if you read this and think they're pigs....what type of things do you think when you are all alone

generally I like them they don't judge much and think text talk is idiotic

they are very Utah though....

also the most obsessive bloggers...I find this humorous.

THE CONCEPT:

this blog honestly embodies much of what I disliked about byu.

in a hilarious and sarcastic type of way

It shows a lot of the culture I actually want to show it to some of my friends here and say see!

this this is why I left

and its not their comments or their rating or any of that

its the expectation of dating, its singles wards,

I'll be honest I'm entertained as hell...it's drama that's real but I don't have to deal with

would these people be pissed off if they knew they were being written about....probably

I wouldn't be I mean nothings really that intimate.

but you know girls...they freak out.

THE REACTION:

First I almost miss BYU cause of all the CRAZINESS

but then I remember being there makes me feel crazy...

seriously boys don't ask me out--there it makes you feel like a leper

here it means I'm nineteen, don't drink, and am american.

sister missionaries--ok I know a lot of good looking not crazy women that go on missions.

like my 2 roommates from last year

or all the girls from my study abroad

and one reason they may not be married yet is they're shy

or wanted to go on a mission

as for me...I'm crazy

and something they need to learn out there in the Bubble.

YOU DON'T NEED TO GET MARRIED SO YOUNG

nothing wrong with either way I have 2 friends that are 20 getting married in the next few weeks and I wish them well and know they will be happy for eternity

I also know girls mid-late twenties not married yet nothing wrong with that

you have to meet the right person and you have to be ready to settle down.

Notes if they read this:

stop tanning...its not hot if its fake and you'll get cancer'

go ahead and rate me you can even tell me if you want

since I'm the only one who ever doesn't think I'm pretty

I'm 5'3" ish about 123 lbs or so (yeah I feel so fat right now:P)

its all the german chocolate

oh and sorry If you take offense to any of my comments... you're not supposed to

my refusal to be in pictures means there isn't many that show all of me...this one I didn't know was being taken

and heres the face. These are not only so these guys can see who is talking about them but for anyone who doesn't know me but would like to see who this whiny girl is that writes this blog. And so my family can see I haven't died out here in Deutschland. Also you can see that my hair is getting "hella" long again(hanging out with too many Californians)

I actually hope they don't notice me...cause that's more people reading here I like to imagine I reach about 4 people....except I know its at least (6 followers+2 relatives + 3ish that comment) 11 PEOPLE????? geeze the pressure may get to me--no I'll continue to think its 4. I don't know why I'm comfortable with that but I am.

Random facts:

-I read all of their blog before publishing this...people change didn't want to falsely represent

-Just like with books, movies and other things...I'm not recommending them--I don't do that.

-I love multi-vitamin juice

-I can't stay in the same place

-I dislike Utah so much so that I won't use my grandmother's address as "my address" because it's in Utah even though it is the most permanent

-my spelling is getting worse the longer I'm here

Cereal

So I used to hate cereal. Like a lot. Actually I hated breakfast foods in general...except like waffles and pancakes and french toast...the stuff you cant make daily. So much so that in middle school I ate left overs for breakfast and in high school despite my parents best efforts I generally just didn't eat breakfast. I only really started eating it last summer when it was an included cost for our host family...so yeah I ate. Somehow liking musli made me start liking cereal again...esp really unhealthy cereal. I can now eat like 4 bowls of coco puffs or count chocula...I reaaalllllyyy like chocolate ok?.. in one sitting. Like I did today...now I need to buy more cereal//musli stupid stores were closed today cause its easter monday.

oh yeah happy easter...did the easter bunny//beagle visit you? did he bring you chocolate? I'm going to try and buy a chocolate bunny tomorrow. yum.

replaceable people

You know what I'm talking about.

The people you enjoy having in your life but you don't really get too bothered if they leave...cause someone will fill that slot soon.

I'v recently realized that I don't let people become irreplaceable. Then it would hurt when they stop talking to me. This is one of those moments where you will want to say lighten up Anne. But let me tell you with only really I want to say 3 exceptions I have not had any friends that have managed to keep in touch with me after I'm no longer in direct eyesight. A couple others are on probation. And of those 3....only one would I tell everything. And I don't even seek them to tell them things.

I realized this as a friend discussed her break-up talking about all the people she had told...only the "important" people and it was like 7 or so.

I neglect to tell my family about my relationship status

most people find out when they ask.

being able to make friends quickly is a valuable trait...but so is keeping them

I'm an out of sight out of mind person.

sorry for my friends that read this...but some of you should ask yourselves when was the last time we talked....when you said hello?

One of the reasons I took down my birthday from everywhere or changed it is because I'm sick of fake friends that think its ok once a year to say hello.

If I ask you how you are I honestly care.

I never feel apologetic for who I am.

This is my favourite place

this is a foot bridge that crosses from about konigstrasse(the big ped shopping street) to schlossgarten. Where it is exceptionally beautiful.
this is what I can see from this bridge. It's hard to tell but I find it breathtaking. For some reason Im always amazed by the city by what man puts together as civilization. especially when it has to bow down to nature like it does here in this rather mountainous area.

And what you also can't tell from these pictures is how awesome it is to stand here. I could feel everything. The wheels of a bike a person jogging just people walking. Also you can do excellent people watching here.

you know how some people watching makes you worry for humanity....not here.

I see old couples holding hands as well as young. People being healthy going out jogging or riding bikes. I saw someone pick up some trash off the ground. and I saw other people just stop.

Sometimes we need to slow down and just look at life for what it is...or we'll miss it all.

But the ache that has been there....FOR THREE YEARS.

it's march the headache that I have had since the spring of my junior year of high school has now been there continuely for three years. yes thats one headache one single solitary headache that only went away for 2 weeks about 3 years ago when I went on my college visit to byu....maybe thats how I ended up there ;)

I hate this head ache

sometimes its just there and I dont really notice unless I think about it

so I try not to

somedays it turns into a migrane

at which point I take my heavy duty meds to make it go back to its almost gone state

too bad I hate doctors and could never follow through on going back maybe I would have figured out what was wrong....doubt it

quote:advertisements contain the only truths to be relied on in a newspaper

been eating lunch and then heard something that sounded like gun fire outside? Then thought oh no that can't be right...but then heard screaming and more gun fire? Did you then proceed to go to the hallway cause it was safer and wait till you heard sirens to look outside?

Have you ever seen a dead body from your (or host moms) bedroom window? Did you know that blood kind of looks fake on pavement? or that 2 hours later it would seem like nothing happened.

Childhood anecdote

because my childhood is over even if I'm not an adult yet(which I'm not don't tell me I need to act like one!) Seriously I'm dreading losing the it's cause I'm a teenage girl excuse.

Ok so for as long as I can remember I've been a sharer not like selfless but I share. Like I get a goody I immediately share some. So if you are my friend you possibly get to eat a lot of chocolate.

When I was little whenever I got a treat I always shared some with my sister, or my parents or at least asked like 20 times if they wanted any. I never feel satisfied in something that I feel is good if I think I'm the only one experiencing it.

which is why when Erk freaks out if anyone takes any of "his" treats I just don't get it.

like if is dad uses some of his mango sauce

or his grandma gives me a piece of kiwi he's eating

or if his mom tells me to have a piece of cake in the kitchen

or share...well anything.

seriously? why don't people share its nice

Share the goodness

Nanny diary: entry 8

Oh my faithful readers(which comes to about 4) I have woefully neglected my nanny life. You may wonder how if you knew thats basically all I do.

but honestly my host family needs me that much. sick kids working dad.

and soon I have a month alone.

can I tell you that life is a lot easier now that erk actually wants to be with me like he gets excited to see me wants me for certain things...it took time but now its here.

fat

either I missed a day or my computers whack....but this goes here

So not about me fat...no that I'm no longer hormonal and retaining water I can see that I'm really obnoxiously skinny...it rocks. (Seriously who's idea was it to make women fatter and more self conscious all at once?)

But the kids I work for. Lara is kind of chubby and I always have to clean her rolls lol.

Erk because of the meds he has to take is retaining a lot of water so he looks fat...but hes not. Poor kid he's sporting a pot belly and chubby cheeks luckily hes 3 and can still sort of rock that look.

Being a sickly skinny child I have no idea what it would be like to be a chubby one....but hey there's bad things about looking malnourished like looking years younger than you are....got 5 when I was 8...13 at 16 and now. 15 at 19. SERIOUSLY PEOPLE?????? Im already young enough without people decreasing my age. and I know this will continue for a while my mom used to have to show people her id for them to believe she was that old

Also figuring out that the 2 flights to stuttgart that day could fit in one plane and so then cancelling the earlier flight (ours) and forcing everyone to go to the other airport an hour away...yeah you jerks.

I keep hearing things and think ok how do you say that in english and I mostly come up with--we wouldn't.

Random facts:

It creeps me out that facebook remembers who I stalk//talk to

Quotes from a smart cookie :]

Be the change you wish to see in the world

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

Man can never be a woman's equal in the spirit of selfless service with which nature has endowed her.

Where there is love, there is life.

You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.

FOOD

If you know me...you know I like food and that I talk about food a lot.

and if you read this blog you are probably secretly wondering how I am not 300 pounds.

if you aren't...you will be.

Butter: I love butter, I've said it before butter and I we're friends. I'll probably tell my kids butter is an acquaintance because you shouldn't eat so much butter...but its soooo good! Peanut butter and I are not friends we're more like distant relatives....4 times removed. nutella and I we're pretty tight (its hasselnut butter with chocolate) who could not like nutella. Chocolate and I we're kind of like lovers but more on that later. So butter I eat a lot of it and honestly piece of bread and butter and I'm good.

Figs:I had figs the other day. No idea what they were till I started eating them and thought hey these taste just like fig newtons! then it hit me....so fig newtons taste like figs(shocker)

Chocolate:I love chocolate. Chocolate and I are like lovers. I like chocolate bars chocolate milk(esp chocolate soy milk in a juice box) chocolate cereal (esp w/ marshmallows) Boston cream doughnuts cake with chocolate frosting... regular chocolate cake...also the fancy kind. chocolate chips, chocolate chip cookies mint chocolate chip ice cream ben and jerrys cherry garcia. I think I'm going to go buy some more chocolate now mmmmmm:)

Chestnuts:roasted chestnuts=pretty good raw chestnuts=really gross. why are they called chest--nuts???

Meat:So tried being a vegtarian for 2 months...and now I miss it. Seriously meat tastes good but I feel grody when I eat too much or sometimes any at all. but being a vegatarian is hard cause you have to focus on things like protein and iron. I love soy milk hate peanut butter(nutella all the way woooooo!)

AND I hate those stupid little fish--no do not put more on my plate I dont want the 6 you already gave me!!!! why is just salad not an acceptable meal?

I really want some onion rings I think I'll go to burger king

I also really want some mango eis! too bad it'll be freezing in stuttgart when we get back. hmmm is it weird that I want to visit some friends partially so I can go to my favourite ice cream spots?
