Alphabet style old school blogging.

Hallo meine Lieben,

hope you are having a wonderful weekend!
My lovely friend Susi from BocaFrau - she is a fellow German who lives in the United States by the way - tagged me and wants me to join this fun game. Thanks, Susi!

I am planning on having a lazy weekend by the way. What about you?

A. Attached or Single? 

Attached to this great guy here:

B. Best friend?

David is my best friend which is very important to me. He's not "just my husband", he is also my best friend and partner in crime. 
My other best friend is Julia. I have known her for my whole life, we've grown up together, went to kindergarten together, watched ER together...She's the best. 

C. Cake or Pie?

I have to admit that I still have no idea what exactly the difference is. Maybe it is like "Torte" and "Kuchen" in German. I don't know. All I know is that I don't like anything with frosting or whipped cream etc. I like dry cake or fruity stuff. 

D. Day of choice? 

Well, Saturday. It is the most relaxed day of the week and that is why I like it. 

E. Essential item?

Do pets count as items? I guess not. Then I have to go with a good book and my iPad. 

F. Favorite color?

I like all colors. It really depends. For clothes I usually prefer black but I also love green and purple a lot. In my house I like brown shades and white with a splash of color. I like pink flowers. I told you...all colors are pretty. 

G. Gummy bears or worms? 

I don't care as long as they are vegan. 

H. Hometown? 

A little town with a population of 700 in the state of Saarland, Germany. Not far away from France, Luxembourg and Belgium. 

I. Favorite Indulgence?

Hmm, I really like chips a lot. And going shoe shopping. 

J. January or July? 

July because my birthday is in July. It's also way too cold for me in January. 

K. Kids?

Furry ones. Cats and bunnies. Tiger and Lumpi for example. 

L. Life isn’t complete without?

David, animals, my family, a reason to smile. Oh, and books.

M. Marriage date? 

November 17, 2011. 

N. Number of brothers/sisters? 

I don't have any brothers or sisters which is kind of sad because I would love to have some. But David's siblings are basically mine too now...so that's cool. 

O. Oranges or Apples?

Both, please. I like all fruits. 

P. Phobias? 

Oh yeah. I am scared to death of deep water. And with deep I mean deeper than 1 m (3,2 feet). I don't get scared very easily but water really freaks me out. 

Q. Quotes? 

We must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals. Animals suffer as much as we do. True humanity does not allow us to impose such sufferings on them. It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it. Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace. ~Albert Schweitzer

The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. ~Gandhi

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.

~Albert Einstein

R. Reasons to smile?

Sometimes I struggle with findings things to smile about. There is so much cruelty in this world which makes it hard. But you need to be able to see the good things too. David makes me smile, my friends, animals, reading a good book, spending time in nature, a beautiful flower. The little things in life are the ones that make me smile. 

S. Season of choice? 

Spring and fall. Because you can see all the beautiful colors then. 

T. Tag 5 people. 

Beate, Celeste, Meg, Niken, Martha, Lissa,  Chrissy and Cassie. And everybody who wants to join of course! And yes, I know, I can't count. 

U. Unknown fact about me?

I have an annoying kidney disease. 

V. Vegetable? 

Oh yes, please. I love all vegetables except of onions because onions are evil. I would say my favorites are broccoli, asparagus, chick peas, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, kale, sauerkraut. 

W. Worst habit?

I check a hundred times if the oven is off and the doors are locked. I talk too much when we watch TV. 

X. Xray or Ultrasound? 

None of them if I can avoid it. But I have to get my kidneys checked by ultrasound every once in a while.

Y. Your favorite food. 

I love eating. My favorite is Indian food. I could eat it every single day. I also like Italian, Chinese, Mexican...I love salads. Brötchen. And potatoes. They are the best. 

Z. Zodiac sign? 

Cancer. 

Have a wonderful Saturday!
