my godness or as time goes by

oh my god, is it true??? 2 weeks left to Christmas? What happened with 2007? Where is it?

But first we have to honor our dear friend Paris to his birthday, which is today!!!!
Congratulations my lovely friend!!! See you soon!

Honestly, this past 2,5 month were running next to me and somehow I feel like they are faster then me. You know? I still have so many things to do, but when? I really like sleeping, so this is not an option.

This past Sunday we went to the awesomely Christmas market in town. I don't have such a small camera to make a decent picture of it. But it was fun of course. This market is the best place to spent 10 euro's (15$ or so) in just one hour and you'll have seen the whole market.
First we needed a cup of mulled wine. MMhhh so delicious. Then people are always hungry when they are going to a market, right? So were we. Claudia and I.
Next stop, Crepe shack (French made pancakes), Bratwurst. 30 minutes passed to this point and we spent already 4 euro's each, just for food and drinks.
At the edge of the market you can find a so called break dance


This thing is just crazy, awesome and ... just great. I'm loving it since I'm 10 years old.
One hour is past and we had a final mulled wine.
Hey James, imagine this thing is standing in front of Kloppenburg and the tourist information at the market!!! Additionally it is noisy.

Last week we had our first real presentation at our Mexico Project. It was really great!! They liked our house design and the master plan ideas. I know that might sound snotty but we are just happy about it.

The 2nd of December, a Sunday, Laura Claudia and Steffen made a second perfect dinner for us. The first one was from Caro and Robert.
Let me think if I can still name all the delicious things they made.
First I finally managed to learn how to eat with chop sticks. That was also our first hint what we might be eating. Those three lovely hosts decorated the whole living room / kitchen in a slight oriental design. They had mulled wine and African music.
Kjelt, was as always too late and was nearly missing the soup. Bamboomilk, avocado and more. Great. And aromatic.
Then they had curry rice with chicken and pineapple. Extremely hot for Kjelt, but for most of us it was alright. At the end I recognized a few tears in my eyes...but they were gone in a bit.
For the dessert Steffen had a fantastic idea. They gave us some bowls with various fruit pieces and then they also had additional bowls with melted brown and white chocolate. mmmhhh. everyone was nearly quiet and enjoyed the atmosphere and the movie Big Fish, for which Laura organized a video projector.
Thank yo guys, even if it is late, for this great evening.
Kjelt, I'm looking forward to your upcoming dinner.

Salut
