so long sucker

No, I am not leaving for the hundredth time. After just three days of work in 2011 I am just saying good-bye to the first work week and hello to a four day weekend. Tomorrow is going to be a public holiday in some regions of Germany and we decided to make it a long weekend.

We're expecting international visitors. An Englishman living in Prague and a couple from the US, who are now living in Germany. I am soooo excited. We're going to go skiing, chill and do a little raclette. All of which I am really looking forward to.

The new year started out quite ok. Work was not too busy and we had only one 'boo boo' so far. We accidently left our bedroom window open, from 7am until we went to bed around midnight. When we were about to go to bed I gave praise to the hubby for airing the room before we laid down and he just gave me a blank stare.

I really only grew suspicious when I sat down and my bed was REALLY cold. So we had a little look at the thermometer and it read 30°F. Oooopsy. No wonder we were shivering because outside it was only 14°F and that window had been open for 17 hours. Brrrrr. We were lucky that we weren't robbed or that the pipes weren't freezing. The neighbors must have thought we haven't got it all together.

Anyway, hope the year started out way better for you.

HA! and my husband was complaining about me turning the heat off and the inside temp dropping below 66F. Big Baby.

Enjoy your long weekend, and keep warm.

Oh boy...how cold!! I'm freezing at 40 degrees F!
I think I need a steady temp of at least 90 degrees F to live happily :)

Enjoy your long weekend!
