.15 years.
About my hair… I don’t usually write a whole blog post on this subject, but since I’m in my blogging era and 15 years seems special (because it ends in a 5), I’ll write about my hair this year. Fifteen years ago, I cut off all my hair. When I was young, my mother would…

.friendships are inconvenient.
I’ve come across a lot of discourse about friendships and how it seems like Millennials and Gen Z have become “flakey.” I thought it was just me feeling this way, but apparently, it’s a real issue now. On the other hand, I’ve heard conversations about how hard it is to make friends as adults, and…

.my Q2 2026 reads.
Just sharing that I managed to hit my 12 book/year goal in May. Ich habe auch jeden Abend ein oder zwei Seiten in einem deutschen Buch gelesen. Das Buch war ein R.L. Stine-Schattenwelt-Buch namens „Die Geisterlehrerin“. Ich bin stolz auf mich. I also read a book in German, only reading a page or two every…

Curtain Up!
My first show in 3 years. Before I haven’t performed in years. When I moved to Philly, I had no idea how to get into the theatre/music scene there, but I was so busy working, honestly, I felt that exercise was the better option anyway, so I’m not upset. I did manage to do one…

.a day in Landshut.
Here’s something I love about Germany. There’s a castle everywhere. When you drive on the autobahn, there aren’t big billboards and advertisements, but you’ll see castles built long before America was colonized. Burg Trausnitz in Landshut, for example, was founded in 1204 by Duke Ludwig I and served as the residence of the Wittelsbach dynasty…

.my Q1 2026 reads.
I started 2026 pretty strong, already reading 6 books (half of my yearly reading goal). I suspect I’ll be slowing down a bit since I’m working on a few other things for myself. It’s a good thing. I have a lot of hobbies, but here’s what I’ve read in 2026 so far: January The Mystery…

.thai routines in germany.
In February, my husband and I went on an amazing trip to Thailand, and I admit I didn’t want to come back. We trained in Muay Thai, lived by the pool, enjoyed the beaches, admired the views, and cherished our time together. I actually cried the day we left, not because I have an issue…

.moomins in munich.
This all started with a meme. About a year ago, Instagram started sending me memes with this adorable cartoon girl. She had red hair and a cute ponytail that pointed at the top of her head; she constantly looked irritated and mischievous. I absolutely loved it. My husband would get those memes too and would…

.jack of all trades / master of none.
I haven’t written anything since 2025, so happy new year? And what a great way to start this new year of writing with a diary entry. I’ve been in a rut lately. Maybe it’s depression creeping in. I just don’t know what to do. The start of 2026 was actually pretty solid for me. I…

.my Q4 2025 reads.
My goal was to read 1 book per month, 12 books for the year, but I managed to total 18 this year! I have so much in my “To-Read Pile,” and I’m excited for what I have lined up for 2026! Here are my final reads of 2025, along with ratings and quick reviews. If…
