Sleeping in on Sundays, skiing Oscar, and Surfing Betty

We have had a pretty good weekend so far. Although today I slept in really late. I was up coughing a lot last night, because some stupid cold has gotten in my system and hasn't gotten the hint that I want it to leave!!! Oscar and I looked at an apartment yesterday and it was beautiful- but we didn't get it. Friday night we watched a nice movie called, "An Unfinished Life". It was sad, but happy as well and everyone that joined us (5 people or so from work) seemed to like it. It had "Bart the Bear" in it- so who wouldn't like it. Well- maybe Stephan Colbert wouldn't like it.. that is who. Oscar thinks it is hilarious that Stephan Colbert's #1 on his threat-down count is bears!

Anyway, then yesterday Oscar went for a long run. I went shopping for christmas gifts since I still am not feeling up to running and then we met up down town and eventually went to our favorite restaurant to celebrate Jenny's birthday. We had a great time talking with Joerg, Jenny, Brian, Daniel, and Joerg's roommate Manual (from Spain). Manual and Joerg are both going skiing next weekend with us. It is great-- it will be our thanksgiving celebration, although I'm sure I will call my family to ask them to describe thanksgiving dinner for me.

I miss my parents this weekend a lot. I saw a guy last night that reminded me of dad quite a bit. He was a silly man selling sling-shots! :) Now, doesn't that sound a bit like dad! :) He spoke German, but he was trying to convince us that these sling-shots were traditional Tuebingen weapons. This also made me think of dad and how silly he is. Okay, well lets see what photos there are on Oscar's computer that I can post today. Also, wish me luck that on future sundays I will be as fortunate as I was today and can sleep in until Oscar makes me soup, cheese and bread! :) Yummy and happy me.

Also, just so none of you get confused about what can be done in Germany and what we have been up to lately-- the skiing and surfing photograph are from British Columbia, Canada! :) It would be super cool if we could go surfing behind a boat here- but as of yet we don't have a boat or a really nice friend with a boat! :) I wonder if anyone surfs like that on the bodensee (Lake Constance). That would be cool if they do!
