if other blog subscriptions are anything to go by, then i am in good company when it comes to my lack-lustre blog performance these past weeks. it isn’t so much that nothing has been happening, but rather that i find it uninspiring fodder to discuss. and also that i am trying to stop complaining so much and look more towards the sunny side of life . but not to worry, i’m sure something hideously outrageous will happen now that i’ve openly declared myself a glass-half-full convert (and you worried i would change!).

time in canada was well spent, though not at all relaxing. which is why i sequestered myself for almost a full week after arriving back. now when people say i look “refreshed” i can basically believe them because, a) my hair it totally awesome and, b) i spent oodles of time on the couch and in bed catching up on grey’s and glee and gossip girl (oh my, i do love a good “g” title).

though my readership is composed primarily of family members who may be heart-broken to read this, i will be honest here and say that, while i absolutely value the ” home visit”, i find myself on much firmer ground when i say that we will continue to live in Switzerland for a time. i love my family and my friends, and though i miss them, there is just so much for us here. it is my hope that i don’t sound too much like a jack-ass saying that …

thus, it is with an embarassingly large amount of pride that i announce that i have already signed up for new german lessons, beginning next week! and i am in somewhat of a “yes” mode … going full-on into trying new things and making an effort, yadda yadda yadda. part of this involved agreeing to be in a student film on Tim’s first day back in zurich. we were walking to the store and a young woman approached us and asked if we had 20 minutes to spare right now to be in a film she was shooting for her thesis. the film is about finding an apartment in zurich. Tim looked tiredly at me, but in the end we said yes, and crossed the road behind a building and joined 3 other perfect strangers who were all there for the same reason. 20 minutes turned into an hour, but she seemed happy. she’s got our email address so we can be notified of when/where to see it. i’ll let you know if we get nominated for anything

and just as an aside, i love my overalls! will manage to take/post a pic somewhere/sometime …
