Welcome Fall!

Random , Uncategorized • Oct 20, 2012

Germany was absolutely beautiful! I’m so bad with blogging and just realized that I haven’t gotten on to share some of the trip (and welcome fall!).

Brandenburg Gate
Brandenburg Gate, Berlin, Germany

That was one of our first big sites in Germany that we saw. Berlin was the history hotspot of the country for sure. We spent the first 3 days of our 2 week trip in Berlin and the history sites were amazing. The access to everything via taxi’s, subway, railroads, etc made the whole country completely accessible as well. The architecture all over the country was absolutely amazing as well. So different then what it is around the states.

I have to admit that the majority of the trip seems like a bit of a blur! And no.. i’m not saying that it was a blur because of all the Octoberfest Beer (lol). We were continuously on the move so it felt like we were just going, going, and going! There were a few cities that I don’t feel as if we really got to know enough because we were to busy trying to get photos to be able to say that we were there! I’m okay with that though. Sometimes you just have to do that, lol. You can always go back in the future

So i’m realizing with the transition from Bath and Body Works fall candles to winter candles that Fall is officialy upon us! I can always tell the season that i’m in based on what B&BW is selling in the stores. Seems a bit crazy.. but hey.. it is what it is. I enjoy my candles!

Germany?

Travel • Sep 9, 2012

Our flight from Cleveland to NYC was scheduled to leave at 11:18 AM. It is NOW 3:00 PM and we have yet to leave cleveland! The funny thing about it all is that I’m not the least bit stressed. Honestly, I’m on vacation! Sure… It would be a total bummer to miss out layover but in the end we would end up where we needed to be. It’s vacation! Haha. Good thing I brought a ton of stuff to read with me.

Germany… here we come!

Munich, Germany

We leave for Germany on SUNDAY. I admit that I haven’t very excited for this upcoming vacation. I myself am not a big international traveler but my partner is. An idea of a vacation to me is relaxing on a beach with someone bringing me cold drinks and a vacation to him is spending 2 weeks unguided in a foreign country. I guess it’s the OCD in me that makes me cautious about the upcoming trip. I feel as iff you never really know what is going to happy on these trips. We don’t speak the langue and we definitely don’t know the cultural norms. I guess it’s just a risk that you have to really be ready to take!

I admit that I haven’t really been excited for the trip until just TODAY. The reason’s are similar to those listed above. Being that it’s just not my kind of vacation. We went Egypt a few years ago and it was nice because we were with a group of friends and we had a tour guide that was with us 24/7. In Germany we are all on our own and I worry about things like the language barrier.

We have maps, train schedules, translation books, and all sorts of other little tidbits. I’m an OCD person so letting go of the control and just letting things happen has always been tough for me to do. I’m not a go-with-the-flow sort of person. It stresses me out. I’m not crazy to the point that things have to be planned down to the minute but I like to have a general plan for each day instead of just wandering around.

We got to New York City about once a year and we have done both way. We did the go-with-the-flow way as well as the having each day planned out. For me, having a general map of what you are going to get done each year makes sure that everybody gets to see and do what it is they are looking forward to doing. The go-with-the-flow ends up being a total disaster each and every time. We spend more time just wandering around trying to get everything in that it ends up being pointless!

I got lucky and had today off so i’m busy getting everything together for the trip. I’ve got the majority of my packing done. I’m an overpacker for sure! We will be there for 18 days so I pack 20 shirts, 20 socks, 20 pairs of underwear, and about 10 pair of shorts/jeans. I won’t wear shirts, socks, or underwear more than once. My partner on the other hand will take about 5 days worth of clothes and wash his clothes in the sink every few days. NOT MY THING! haha. I always take a few extra days worth of clothes just in case. I will probably only take 2 pair of shoes (sneaks and flip-flops).

I’ve got 2 fanlisting to make before I go and then everything is ready to go! I’m going to do my best to blog on the trip but you know how that goes. lol. My phone will work in Germany but will be in airplane mode so that it’s not using data. I will make sure to connect wirelessly though. Hopefully they have as much free wireless around the country as we do here!

Is it fall?

Random • Aug 30, 2012

I can’t believe that it’s already the end of August. I feel like just yesterday the warm weather began and now, its almost gone! I cringe just thinking about it. Before you know it we will be buying christmas presents and complaining of snow, haha. It’s okay though. Honestly I have to say that I think this is probably the first year in a very long time that i’m not sad about the fact that winter is coming. I’m planning on embracing it this year and really enjoying the coolness.

I’ve been spending a lot of time focusing on my fanlistings instead of the actual content of the site. Here are some of the latest fanlistings i’ve opened;

I also have a few more big ones that i’m excited to work on including a fanlisting for WHITNEY HOUSTON! I’m really excited about that one. Trying to get everything done in a very timely fashion.

We are preparing to leave for vacation in a little more than a week. We are spending two weeks in Germany. I’ve been pretty open with friends/family about the vacation. I don’t feel like i’m all that excited. I mean… i’m excited to go on vacation (lord only knows i need it) but i’ve never been on a vacation that doesn’t include spending a week at a resort or a week with a tour guide. We are completely on our own! We have hotels, trains, and airlines booked. Its just getting from point a to point b that has me worried.

Well, just wanted to pop in a quick update to let everyone know that i’m still around. Just working on other projects. Oh.. also looking for some affiliates for GodGiveMeTruth and Obsession. Feel free to send an email, fill out a form, or comment on this post to network sites!

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Micromen

Power Rangers where all the rage when I was growing up. They were the first obsession that i remember having as a kid. I also remember pogs, pokemon, tamagotchi (those digital pet things), floam, and those tiny skateboards that you controlled with you two fingers!
