Babiessssssssssssss. Thoisday.


Swiss Princess Selina.

I will be in Liverpool in less than a week and I can't wait to get over to the U.K.

Here is a short life update: Friday December 3rd went to a company Christmas party with my friend Boris.  The kind of company that gives all their employees, and their employees' guests ipods as a Christmas gift.  5th generation nanos all wrapped and sitting on a table up for grabs as if they were boring goodie bags. Score!  (I thought about sliding a few extra into my purse, but then I thought about karma.)

Friday December 10th went to farewell dinner for my beautiful friend Elyse Van Herk.  Just her and I took the train to Zurich and after perusing the Christmas market for camel figurines, spontaneously decided on a pub called 'The Lion'.  Quite the classy place despite the name, honest.  We drank and ate and talked about Elyse's 7 month backpacking adventure through Asia.  Thailand was her favorite place. I MUST visit Nick and Lisa! Elyse talked it up so much.  She also spent a lot of time in Australia, New Zealand and India.  She's moving back home to Canada for a while and will be back in Europe in mid March.  Only this time she'll be living in Holland :(  So we had to have a goodbye weekend.
After dinner we went to a hostel bar in Zurich called Zic Zac. So much fun!  Hostels are great in general, of course, because you are meeting people from all over the world.  So a really happening hostel bar peaked my interest and it ended up being a great time.  I'm going back very soon. 

If you're looking for a good Christmas movie watch 'Love Actually.'  It's a perfect movie any time of the year but especially great during the Holidays. Watch!
I feel like I'm going to have a 'Love Actually' feeling this Christmas, seeing that I'll be in England, not to mention with a gorgeously handsome, charming, british man; Oliver Jones, whom in no way asked me to describe him using those adjectives. 

I hope you all have the best Christmas! I'm sure London will be spectacular and Oliver and I are going to have a blast in our Christmas sweaters at the pubs!
But if can borrow a quote from Dave Matthews for a moment, "turns out not where but who you're with that really matters."  So enjoy your families, I'll be missing mine.

Trying not to slip and bust my hip, zing!


It has been snowing here in Zug for about a week now.  I have a love/hate relationship with my new found weather situation.  Of course being from Florida it is nice to see snow.  It's so pretty, but it is obviously freezing and there is the constant threat of injury (I haven't bought snow boots yet.)

I am trying not to spend too much money at the moment, as I am going to London for Christmas and I know it's going to be ridiculously expensive. Therefore, sacrificing my well being with sneakers instead of proper boots will have to suffice.
