Ten On Tuesday. Sweatpants and squirrels.

Hallo meine Lieben,

hope you are having a wonderful week. Sorry I still haven't found the time to sort through all the Paris etc. pictures but I haven't forgotten about them. I will share them at some point soon. Please bare with me!
You can link up with Alyssa here.



1. I could spend hours watching cute animal videos or looking at funny animal pictures. I can't help myself but animals always make me happy, no matter what. That is why I can't see them suffering.

2. I mean videos like this one. Found it here.




3. Or rats holding teddy bears. You can find more of them here.



4. Sometimes I just hate to talk and want it to be quiet. 

5.  I should really follow this advice. I don't know. I feel like I don't most of the time and I have no idea why. There are always other things to take care of and that is kind of sad.


6. And here are some of the things that make me happy: reading, crafting, spending time with animals, photography, going for a walk, window shopping, volunteering, painting....oh and reading and reading and reading.

7. I got the comfiest, warmest sweat pants (or ugly pants as David and I call them) last week and I can tell you that I am looking forward to putting them on at night every single day. They are the best pants I ever wore just because they keep me warm and make me feel relaxed. I wish I could wear them all the time. I know how sad that sounds. By the way: Today is international sweatpants day. Woohoo.

8. I just read that today is also Squirrel Appreciation Day! Squirrels and sweatpants? I think this is the perfect day.



9. I am trying to read as many books as possible this year but I am only on my fourth book right now.  I think I need to make some extra time for reading this weekend. 

10. My bunnies love to eat cranberries. Which shows again that my bunnies and I pretty much love the same things. 


Have a fantastic Tuesday!

  3. #4 - that's me too. sometimes people see this as me being a snob but I'm not going to worry about that.

    #5 - definitely - although I find being lazy makes me happy so, I'm going to practice that a lot - ha, ha!

    #7 - strangely I do not own any sweat pants but I might just go get one to fend off the cold

    #10 - how cute!

    hope you have a sweet day.

  7. Squirrel Appreciation Day! I love it. There's a little park where I live and there are always squirrels running around and they even let you get really close to them.

  9. Squirrels are the best! Though, one time I took a picture of one and he got really mad and started chattering and running near me! (So, they're kind of evil too!)

    Oh - and when I went to Germany in 2000 and stayed with a host family (I was still in school) - I tried to learn the German word for squirrel and they had no idea what I was talking about.. it was funny trying to describe a squirrel to someone who didn't know the word..

    1. I can't believe that squirrel got so mad. Haha, that is hilarious. Seems like he did not like having pictures of him taken!

      Haha, Eichhoernchen is such a great word. :) I think it is really hard to learn. I am sure you did great! Thanks for sharing this story!

  11. Sweatpants are awesome! I had no idea there was a day dedicated to them. Darn it.

    And I agree on animals, they always make me smile. I love watching the squirrels playing in our yard, they're so chattery if anyone comes out and interrupts them.

  12. That video made me laugh, so cool! :)
    I love squirrels so much. I was amazed the first time I saw how different the look in the States compared to the ones we have in Germany.
    Squirrel Appreciation Day and Sweatpants day sounds awesome to me! What kind of sweatpants did you get?
    Oh yes, I should do more what makes me happy, too, instead of getting caught up in every day life all the time.
    And I want to read more books!
    Ich drück dich noch Mal gaaaaaaanz dolle, liebe Katrin :)

    1. I could watch that video over and over. It is so cool. Glad you like it too!
      And I agree, I was so surprised when I saw American squirrels since they have a totally different color!
      I got these sweatpants from Tchibo: https://www.tchibo.de/strickfleece-hose-p400044735.html
      They are so warm and comfy! I definitely recommend them, I want to wear them all the time! :)
      Every day life can be really annoying, we need to concentrate on the great things in life!
      Ich drueck Dich, Liebes! <3

  13. I'm all about No.4. I need at least fifteen minutes a day of total quiet. I don't talk and I make sure there's no tv, no computer, and no radio. Without that I go a little loopy :)
