Good morning Lounge
Edited on Mon Jan-04-10 05:31 AM by MissHoneychurch
And a belated Happy New Year!!

I hope you all had a good start into 2010.

I went out for dinner with a dear friend, then we went to the movies (a German movie) and then to an Irish Pub to greet 2010. And then we went home :) It was a very nice evening.

Now it is back to normal with work and everything. I am starting swimming again tomorrow. Also, I joined an international group who meets once a month to meet new people.

theNotoriousP.I.G., I am thinking of you and wish you strenght for the coming days, weeks, months. I love ya!!!

1. You have New Year in Germany? I thought it was only in New York
Anyway, happy new year, and that's a great photo. It looks like springtime.

2. Good morning JustABozo
:hi: :hug: :loveya:

It's amazing, isn't it? We actually had it 6 hours ahead of NYC :P

The picture was taken in August last year. But I though the flowers and the sun would bring a smile on the faces considering the weather these days.

57. Which war? Battle of the Teutoburg Forest?
But no matter. Any occasion that causes our MHC to stay at a bar until midnight is an excellent holiday!

3. Good Morning Miss Honeychurch! Happy New Year!
:hi: :hug: loveya: :pals:

Sounds like you had an excellent New Year's Eve. I did as well, it was a quiet one I nearly slept through. Good luck with the group you've joined! :bounce:

May 2010 be a wonderful year for you. :D

5. Good morning MissH!
Glad to hear that you had a nice New Years eve. Mine was nice too.

Thank you for the picture. You are right, it is a good choice consider everything in my world is covered with several feet of snow.

I too wish theNotoriousP.I.G. strength and am keeping her in my prayers. I've thought about her often this weekend.

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

13. Actually, the snow is very
beautiful, but unfortunately we've been getting below normal temps which makes outdoor activities rather limited.

I'll be headed back to work after having 12 days off! Feeling a little ambivalent. :shrug:

15. I love snow too
it is so quiet and peaceful then.

But when it is melting ... yuck

I decided to take a week off in February. I still have vacation left from last year.

Oh, I know how you feel today. Even though I was working between the years I had my problems getting out of bed.

16. I agree, the melting
is not so pretty.

Didn't really have trouble getting out of bed, I'm typically an early riser no matter what. But right now I'm trying to talk myself into hitting the shower and getting dressed.

Good thing that I packed my lunch already. ;)

gives me more time in bed in the mornings ... LOL

18. That is a good idea,
but my hair looks terrible in the morning, so I really need a quick shower to remedy that situation.

Unfortunately, once I wake up in the morning I'm compelled to get out of bed. I'm not one of those that can stay in bed. *sigh*

19. I think it is a good thing
when you are able to start the day and are active. I am sometimes mad about myself that I am such a lazy bum. Oh well. Laying on the couch on a Sunday and reading a good book has its pluses too :)

25. Well, with having 12 days
off of work, I did my fair share of reading/couch laying. ;)

Got to head out to work now - wish me luck. ;) Can't wait to go through 12 days of e-mails.

Wishing you a great day.

23. Well Colmar and Dijon are both in France
:)

But Coleman's is American, or?

I admit I mainly buy Dijon mustard, so I barely know any other branches.

Colmar in Alsace? Lorraine? Depends on when? Nice photo, anyway!

Happy New Year!! I hope you had a good start!!!

It is still quiet here even though the books I got Dec 30th are waiting to get done cataloguing. But I keep it nice and slow today. No reason to get too busy on the first work day of the year.

I hope it won't get too busy for you :hug:

43. We saw a German movie
with Til Schweiger. He was for some time in Hollywood, so maybe you have heard of him. The title of the movie is "Zweiohrküken" (Twoearschick) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1343755/ and is the sequel to "Keinohrhasen" (Rabbit Without Ears) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0960790/

46. The first movie was cute and funny
a lot of German actors are taking part in it.

The second, the one we saw, wasn't that good. It was nice but more cliché than anything else.

Good to see you back!

I had a quiet New Year's Eve at home, but with a nice surprise from an old friend...

That is a great picture!

I'm hoping for some travel pictures of my own in 2010.

Lucky you, there is not enough snow here to cancel anything.

I took down the Christmas tree yesterday. Still need to put away all the other stuff. And Thursday the tree will be gone too. Christmas is such a nice time but also passes so fast.

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
