Zum Geburtstag....

We went to an Irish Pub, 16 people showed up, we ran up a 230 Euro bill and then used the tip money that's being horded instead of being distributed between us. Good use!

The present from my store! Mick also gave me a shockingly pink Ipod Nano! Yay for fun birthdays. It's starting to feel more like home.

1 Year!

Fasching the German Mardi Gras

So I spent 2 hours last week at work not working. There was a parade about 15 feet from our front door! We opened up both doors and waved and were greeted with showers of candy. For some reason in my green apron I was able to procure a couple of flowers and extra candy. I think they felt sorry for us having to work.

My favorite costume.

Police officer treated to kisses and flowers.

Even the onlookers were in costume.

View of the crowd from inside the store.

The witches were a little out of control.

I made a sock.

More Snow!

Snow!

I preferred the graffiti.

They painted away the awesome graffiti in the underground passage to my train platform. I miss it...though I don't miss the urine spell.

Polite D.C. Signs

The Star of D.C.

I know this is blurry, but I just love both of their expressions.

Monkey slippers attack sister.

Well it tasted good...

Then Mick made us both cry.
Pow!

Mmm...must play!
Note how stoned Mick looks (poor thing with back pain and strong pain killers).
