Anniversary!

[ No Comments ] Posted on 03.07.10 under Uncategorized

My baby brothers first wedding anniversary is coming up next month. Amazing to think of the fact that it was just this time last year we were all getting ready to head to Cuba to celebrate. And so I am thinking of creating photo cards for them as a more personal card for them. Plus the pictures I have from that trip are just too amazing not let them go to waste and never use them!

Printer Sadness

[ No Comments ] Posted on 02.25.10 under Uncategorized

In other not so fun news, I need a new printer, anyone hear anything about the epson tm-t88iv? It is really driving me nuts. I have to give a presentation on this trip and when I went to print off my material my old printer literally ate it. I wish this was the first time, but it happens often enough that I want to break down and get a new one. But I dont want to be in the same situation again.

Do YOu Ever Work?

Sitting here I am actually exhausted. It has been a great way to earn a university credit but it has not been all fun and games. they do want us to work during the day, and the entire 2 weeks we only get one day completely to ourselves to do with it as we want. Otherwise they squeeze in a little sightseeing every day and the rest of the time is clamps and digging! But this is by far the easiest and most fun credit I have ever received!

Food & The Outdoors

So I am sitting here in February on a balcony in Portugal without a jacket, merely a sweater, checking my emails. The only thing missing is an outdoor fireplace to really complete the mood and to take that little bit of a chill out of the air.

And the food here is amazing, it has been the best food of the entire trip. Warm weather and good food makes Sherrie a very happy girl.

School Trips

So far the trip has been awesome, minus one small hitch. I ordered a textbook online because I joined this class very last minute, and despite being a class offered in English, I am still at a German university with a limited amount of English textbooks. Oh how I wish for the opportunities to sell textbooks that exist in English countries, and then I could buy! But as there is not, I bought it online, waited for it, and it showed up directly after I left.

Portugal!!!

Here I am in Portugal on a soils trip. And though I am fully appreciating the fact that there is an open internet connection, because for the past week we have not stopped let alone had time for internet. Of course every place we have stayed in so far has had wireless internet, but as we get in and are ready to bed at around 11 30, and up again at 7, I have chosen not to indulge in internet, saving it instead for now, when we have 5 days straight at a hostel, and now there is no internet, just an open system that I have jumped on. This is why you should have wireless security systems.

Last One For The Day..

And then I really need to get off the Internet. :-P BUT, episode 8 is finally out! And I have seen the rough cut for episode 9, and there is a previewed part in episode 8 that does not make it into the final cut at the end. So if you watch it to the very end where the previews are, then you will know why I need to look into best muscle building supplements and cut back on the shoko. I drop the bike about a million times. ;-)

Looking For Info Online

As a follow up to that, one other area that I was patrolling the Internet for was acne home remedies, because once a month my face erupts. But I still have yet to figure out if it is just the monthly part, or if it is also because of a new face cream I have been using. (I always got spotty before, but since using the cream it is one giant bad pimple every month). The conclusion: its both, with the cream making it worse.

And that was really nice cream….

To Take It Or Not To Take It

I have flirted with the diet supplement ideas before. In Canada it was much easier for me of course because the defacto language of the products and the people I would speak with was my own mother tongue. Any worries I had could be easily cleared up. Here I do not have the luxury as I have only a basic grasp of German, and I have heard that diet pill side effects can be nothing, or a lot.

Blaaaaa

But chocolate and coffee is a perfect pairing. ;-)

Or…

I can turn to something like slimquick extreme, maybe that will help me manage my cravings better. When I was younger I never understood people who said they were addicted to food. But I honestly think I have a chocolate addiction that is next to impossible to fight. My body actually CRAVES it when I dont have it, and its the first thing I reach for when I am stressed.
