Well I know it has been a while since I have written, but that is because I have been doing a lot of thinking about where I want to go with this blog. I have decided to have a "fuck it" attitude towards living in Germany and the attitude I get from so many of the people that live here. I figure at this point I don't like Germans very much (I know that is a generalization, and I do like some Germans...just not most of them), so why should I care about whether they like Americans or not? Americans have a bad name in a lot of places and I was always struggling to prove that Americans are a great group of people! I have decided that it is a waste of my energy (they aren't going to change their minds anyway) and it only stresses me out, so I am done. I don't really care what Germans think of Americans anymore. I am going to go about my day, being nice and friendly, and when they give me attitude, I will simply roll my eyes and ignore them completely.
With that being said, I am going to try to switch over to a more positive blog so that I can remember all of the good things in our life, which means I should also consider coming up with a new title for this blog....too bad I am not very clever about those sorts of things. Maybe DH and I can work together to come up with something good..
So it is the first day of spring and things are going pretty good. DH had another interview (I am not sure if I updated about the last one or not. The people decided that they did not have the budget to hire someone, so he did not get the job...but neither did anyone else). DH is also waiting to hear back from someone else that had sent him an email telling him they would like to discuss some potential opportunities, so we will see what happens.
I went to the Netherlands with DH for a few days last week (he had to go for work), and it was a nice getaway. It felt good to get out of this apartment. We also got to visit with a couple of our friends that live there and we rarely get to see. I did come home with a cold though. I should have known it was coming because I took a two hour nap one of the days that we were there and I was complaining to DH about my ears itching. I think I am on the upswing of this cold because I seem to have a bit more energy today. I decided to strip the bed and wash everything and hopefully DH won't get sick (although he did mention that he feels like it may be coming). He has been taking his Echinacea though, so hopefully that will work.
I guess that is it for now. I just wanted to give an update on the changes I plan to make with my attitude and my blog. Here is to better things!
