Back at work! // Monday Funday (?)

Today was back at work day for me after being off for one week. Yep, no holiday in Germany today... but:  
Happy Columbus Day to my lovely readers in the USA! 
Happy Thanksgiving to my lovely readers in good old Canada!

It was really tough to get out of bed this morning. But I guess you guys know that feeling? Last week I woke up around 9:30 AM every day, and today the alarm went off at 6:22 AM. Ugh. It hurt. After hitting the snooze button for about 5 times, I had to hurry with my daily morning routine and didn´t even finish my coffee... Oh how I hate rushing into the day!

At work my colleagues updated me about the past week. We´ve had some troubles with one of my favourite clients... And even though I´m not - I felt responsible for it. Then my boss arrived at the office around 9:40 AM and was in the worst mood ever. Welcome back at the office, Anni!

Around 4:30 PM we turned off our computers though, and went to the fest downtown. I had a good time, eating a huge pretzel, crêpe with Nutella and hazelnuts, playing the camel race game, shooting,... But you could somehow feel everybody was in a bad mood cause of the issues in the morning, plus boss taking out his bad mood on us during the day, so we were kinda happy to go home around 6:30 PM. I was freeeeeezing anyway! And tired. My body got used to a daily nap last week way too fast.

Back home I spent some quality time with M, played a little WoW and now I´m in bed, watching TV and trying to stay warm. Favourite part about fall: Cuddling up :)

Tomorrow I´ll go to a concert - one of my ex-colleague's band is playing in a club in Nuremberg and M and I are on the guest list. Looking forward to a good time and a good beer. Or two.

Good night!

Volksfest! // Weekend Recap

Hey there and "Happy Labor Day"!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend? Mine was RELAXING! This was actually the first weekend at home after being on the road for the past 3 weekends... So I enjoyed what I pay rent for, spent time on the couch, taking a nap, reading. I missed that!

Saturday morning the couch I sold on the internet got picked up - the lady gave me 60 Euro, 10 more than I´ve asked for! But she was so thankful that M and I carried it downstairs from the 5th floor for her. Plus I washed all the covers and gave her an extra blanket for free. I´m happy the couch is outta here, but at the same time a little bit sad - it was the first couch I bought for my apartment. It was so comfy! Coco cat loved it so you can tell she started and keeps complaining since the minute it was out of the house ;o)!

M and I decided to grab the couch money, and go spend it at the Volksfest here in Nuremberg. We had a great time! We shared one of these huge german beers, I ate "Crêpe" with bananas and nutella, we even went on one of the rides! But: it sucked :oD!!! Seriously! It looked pretty amazing when we walked past. Like a huge submarine, and we heard all the sound and it was going up and down. But the second we sat down in there and the "awesome 3D animation" started (= remove awesome and 3D and you will actually have the truth) we just couldn´t stop laughing! It was soooooo baaaaaad! I can´t believe we spent 6 Euro for that crappy thing!

But we had a wonderful time walking around anyway. It wasn´t too crowded, after the sun set all the colorful lights came up. It was really nice!

What else was amazing: How fast the money disappeared!! Geeeeeez! And we don´t even have kids! I wonder how much the average family spends on a fun fair like that... I know, sometimes you just need some quality time, but spending money kinda hurts as well.

What did you guys do on the weekend?

Smooches!
