My new phone
FINALLY...a new phone!
I had my blackberry since January of 2009 and was way over due for an upgrade.
So last Saturday, Kent and I went to a Verizon store and I finally got what I have been wanting for the longest time: a white iPhone! :D
It is only an iPhone 4 , so not the absolute newest version available, but I am happy with it. Not only is it easy to use, it is also good looking :)
Which is important, because I am a female. LOL
I love my new phone.
Kent was not too happy I guess, because he does not like Apple products. Glad I make some money on my own and therefore don't need my husbands approval. Ha ha.
I don't think I will ever want another phone again... :D

The Forest House (M. Zimmer Bradley)
Uncle Tom's Cabin (H. Beecher Stowe)
Die Wanderhure (Iny Lorenz)

Here is what I am planning on reading on 2012 (not necessarily in that order):
Wintergirls (L. H. Anderson) *

I started "Wintergirls" today. So far I am not absolutely in love with this book, but I will finish reading it. It is only 278 pages with fairly big printed letters. ( update: I read this book in 1 day)
I am always looking for more book suggestions... so if anyone can recommend a good book - please do so. Thanks! :D

You can't fix stupid!
I saw this bumper sticker on a car today.
It made me so mad, I wanted to vandalize the car. I didn't though!
OMG! REALLY??? One more proof that you can't fix stupid!
All these brain washed people here in the "bible belt"..... Urgh... makes me sick to my stomach!
How can it ever be wrong to marry someone you are in love with? Doesn't matter if same or opposite sex. How can love ever be wrong?
America still has a long way to go.... and it will go slow... crawling...
People are so blinded and brainwashed. I can not understand how there can still be people out there who truly believe it is a choice which sex you are attracted to. Seriously? It is NOT a choice! There are same sex relations in the animal kingdom. Animals don't choose! They live the way they are!
Everyone should have the right to be with the person they love.
But then again... it is mostly just a certain group of people who follows a certain religion, that are so narrow minded!
I met some through and through awful, nasty, just plain mean people in my life.... needless to say they were all Christians.
I know of very few Christians who are nice, decent people and who use their religion to better themselves.... very few! 3, maybe 4!
Anyways.... I really hope that one day this will not be an issue anymore.
But I fear it will always just be a dream.....

Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Kent!
For Kent's 28th birthday on December 14th we went to Fogo di Chao in Atlanta. Kent wanted to go there for a long time and we decided to treat ourselves to unlimited meat. Sounds kinda gross when you think about it. They also have a great salad bar ;)
I made reservations online and mentioned that it was my husbands birthday that day. Seems like they actually read my message because after we had stuffed our faces with very high class meats and salads, they brought a piece of chocolate cake (that we hadn't ordered) and wrote "Happy Birthday" on the rim of the plate.
I really do enjoy going to fancy restaurants once in a while, places where you have to dress up and they have a good wine card and the waiter pulls the chair out for you.
Unfortunately those places are expensive!
After tasting his first bite there Kent said: " We should eat here every day."
He also commented on a piece of filet mignon with:"It is like a meat marshmallow."
Yeah... it was a great night out, even though it ended with some drama. Kent's (former) friends had to start drama again... but fortunately they are out of our lives now for good and we now finally can live our life without constantly getting negative comments about our way of living.
I am just sad that it happened on his birthday. But at the same time it is one more proof that they don't care about anything but themselves. In this sense: Farewell Losers!

In der Weihnachtsbaeckerei.....
For the first time since moving to the US I made christmas cookies.
I remember making various types of cookies with my Mom and Grandmother when I was a child. Various types doesn't even cover it. One year I recall my Grandmother having made over 20 different kinds of cookies.
I am not a big fan of cookies... I am very picky when it comes to them. But I love to make and decorate them.
Honestly, I thought that they would not come out to be edible, but to my surprise they are not too bad.
Here are some pictures of my master pieces....
Sugar Cookies
home made Choco Crossis
Gingerbread
Family Cookies : Kent , Micha , Butch , Rah
Happy Yule!

X-Mas Wish List
When I was a child everyone in my family would write a wish list for x-mas which then would be passed around and everyone could pick something for the other person and knew they really like it.
So I decided to put my x-mas 2011 wish list on here... in case someone wants to buy me a present ;)
- Kohl's Gift Card
- Complete Series DVD Set of Friends
- Scene It Friends
- Corelle Dinnerware Set (preferable 2 sets, so I'd have 8 plates, 8 bowls etc)
"Corelle Simle Lines 16-pc Dinnerware Set"
These would be the things I'd like the most (besides the obvious - $$$ LOL).
Happy Holidays!!!!

Knit, Purl, Knit
One of the fun things that came with my new job is that the 2 other females in the office LOVE to knit. I myself LIKE to knit. I am not as crazy about it as they are, but I enjoy engaging my needles once in a while.
I also learned that "knit" means "right" and "purl" means "left". Otherwise I still have a very hard time reading knitting patterns.
My goal is to knit a sweater within a year. A sweater I can actually wear.
This weekend I started on a throw/ afghan/ blanket - whatever you wanna call it.
I started with a few rows (1inch) of rainbow colored seed stitch, followed but grey yarn in a 1 row Knit, 1 row Purl pattern. In between there will be some more rainbow colored 1inch wide seed stitch rows.
Lets see how long it will take me to finish.
My right wrist is already sore from all the knitting this weekend, lol

Fall
Today is the first day in weeks that it is raining outside.
We really really needed the rain.
The grass in our back yard is mostly brown and the leaves on the trees started turning brown already.
As much as I love the really hot weather down here, I also enjoy a rainy day and some under-90F weather.
I guess Fall is just around the corner. That means my birthday is around the corner and Halloween... my favorite holiday!

Happy Birthday Rah
On September 1st, our little kittie Rah Orion Fitch turned 1 years old.
He is not so little anymore....
He is still scared of pretty much EVERYTHING, but he now at least has some minutes a day when he wants to be petted and cuddle; mostly in the morning when we get up for work and don't really have time to play with him.
Happy Birthday Rah!

Time flies
Oh my... it has been over a month since I last posted anything on here. Time flies when you are having fun.
I hope every one had as much of a great time int the month of August than I did.
August 2nd I started my new job and I am absolutely LOVING it. It can be stressful at times and I still have to learn a TON, but I am happy there (as happy as you can get at work... it is WORK after all).
I work with fun people and I feel I can, eventually, be really good at this.
In the past month, every day I go to work, I am sooooo happy and proud that I am a working woman and not just one of those typically American females who call themselves "stay at home Moms" or " homemakers" just so they don't have to do jack sh*t all day but sit at home, play on the internet 10 hours a day and spend their husbands money. How I loath thee! How dare! How dare these lazy asses think they have ANY right to their husbands money if they contribute absolutely NOTHING to the marriage.
Hey, if someone just had a kid and they have the financial means for her to stay home with the new baby for a while - good for them. I am talking about those parasites that refuse to work. They never had a real job before they got married and as soon as they found a dumb enough guy who took them they refuse to even think about getting a job every again.
I am so happy and proud of myself that I can pull my own weight. I am financially completely independent.
I have a career and am still taking care of our household.
... I am getting carried away again.
Anyways, all I wanted to say is that I enjoy working at my new job and I am hoping to be able to stay there for a while and grow and thrive with the business.
I still want to go back to school at some point though, probably online. We'll see.... for now my priorities are my job and the house we will hopefully be able to buy in a few months.
