Me

January 29, 2011

Things are starting to come around for me. I have been on this semi-wild trip called being 40 without a job. It sucked. Here’s to it being over by the end of next week. Keep all your fingers crossed for me! I wish you all a wonderful weekend!!!

Today is the last day

January 28, 2011

…That Vilay will work for his employer. He will start his new job working for one of the largest luxury watchmakers in the world. We are so excited and happy about this opportunity that he has earned. He has worked hard to get where he is and I couldn’t be more proud of him. Today [...]

Being happy

January 27, 2011

My new line of attack is the same one that I used against simple and little mean minds in the States…KILL THEM WITH KINDNESS. Always has worked for me and I am sure it will continue to do so. Really just amazed at the complete and total rudeness of some people in this village. I [...]

My mind tells me

January 20, 2011

…to follow my dreams. My heart says…I told you so! I want to make my passion become my work. Just as my husband has done with watchmaking. My passions are photography and society. It is all about capturing those little moments when we are most ourselves. When we are just living our lives without posing [...]

Guess where we were yesterday!

January 17, 2011

Whoever guesses first wins the prize of GUESSING FIRST! So, we went on a roadtrip. It was nice to get out of the Jura and see more of Switzerland. Like a lake with sun and people and Italian ice cream and lots of walking and eating sandwiches by the lake with sun and people and [...]

About driving

January 14, 2011

Yesterday, I drove a friend. To an appointment in La Chaux-de-fonds. It is about a half hour drive. It was rainy. No big deal. On the way home. It was still raining. Lightly. It was dark. Very dark. Insert a second of cold fear. Where I felt my heart stop. After that second passed. I [...]

Thun, Switzerland (part 2)

January 12, 2011

Continuing on with the photo tour of Thun… All photos are straight out of the camera. No photo editing software was used so some of the photos are kinda off as far as lighting.  I kinda like it like that. Thun, Switzerland in photos (part 1)

Will be back later with pictures of a trip to Thun this past weekend. :D Vilay already made his post about our day trip here. I am off to finish cleaning my floors.  The easiest way [...]

Why can’t we walk straight?

January 10, 2011

Found the video below demonstrating the fact that people can’t walk (drive or swim) in a straight line if they are unable to see. It is interesting. My eight year old watched it with me. She wants to try out the experiment herself. So, we are going to do that on a not so muddy [...]

My young lady

January 9, 2011

I have talked to my oldest daughter (living in the US) twice…Recently. I am so happy. It is usually a pain to try to get a hold of her for reasons that aren’t O.K. to air out here. We were able to talk on Skype tonight.  SO, I GOT TO SEE HER! She is so [...]

Risks

January 7, 2011

My cat likes taking risks as to when I will let her sit on the table or shoo her away. Last night, I caught her in my kitchen sink when I got up to get a drink of water. She jumped down as soon as the light came on. She knew she was busted! She [...]

My Saab 9-3

January 5, 2011

It is on purpose that I am calling our car MY Saab. Vilay would always tease me in the US because I would refer to the car I had before our marriage as MY car. Of course after our marriage I put the title in both our names. Yet, it was a car that I [...]

I am waiting on Vilay to return with our car. It will be the first time I see it. I can’t wait to DRIVE my car. :D It has been over six years since I have got behind the wheel to drive more than a few blocks. I haven’t driven at all in almost four [...]

Our living space

January 2, 2011

…Is finally starting to look like home. Behind the kids (picture below) is the newest furniture addition to our apartment. We have spent so many years without having any real furniture that it is kinda weird to see our apartment filling up. We still need some armories but really we are so happy to have [...]
