What cup can you never drink out of




















I moped a little all day as the pictures started rolling in on Facebook. And it always makes me wonder if we did the right thing. I felt really homesick yesterday. However, I had many reminders throughout the day that we are okay. Dude told me he loved me more than mac and cheese as I hugged him goodbye. The boys giggled the entire way home as they plotted their afternoons. A friend and fellow traveler reached out to make sure we were doing okay. Texts from home reminded me that we have not been forgotten.

And the sweet man at our produce stand kept an eye out for me all day because he got me cranberries. I may never buy canned again! If you are worried about our low caloric intact, have no fear. We have plans with fellow expat friends tomorrow that involve turkey and all the fixings. Today, instead of Black Friday shopping, I will be making that last minute trip to the grocery instead. Prep work on my offerings has already begun and the cranberry sauce is already chilling in the fridge.

The wine is picked out and there are some games bagged up to take over. Yesterday was weird and a bit difficult, today feels better and by tomorrow, the pity party will be packed away and replaced with food, friends, and new memories. I love the holiday season. Really I do. All of it. We are not religious people, in fact 3 out of the 5 of us lean towards being atheist.

But we love the spirit that comes with the all upcoming celebrations including Christmas, which is of course the holiday we associate most with. I get it. Some people feel very strongly about Christmas being premature. It does seem like the stores start putting stuff out earlier and earlier every year I am looking at you, Hobby Lobby in June.

I try to respect your wishes and not start blasting holiday music from the roof top on November 1st. It is officially the week of Thanksgiving though and I am done waiting. Yesterday, we decorated our tree. The kids colored their advent bags. We drank hot chocolate and mulled wine while we ate fancy cheese and listened to Holiday Favorites on Alexa. I packed up all of our Fall decor and lit candles that smell like sugar cookies. Have I ever told you how much I love wine and fancy cheeses?

None of this means I am skipping Thanksgiving. In fact, even though we are not even in the States anymore, we are still celebrating this weekend with some fellow expats. We will have turkey, mashed potatoes, and some extremely hard to find pumpkin pie. I am not trying to push one holiday out for another, I pinky promise.

In fact, usually I decorate the day after Thanksgiving but the lines here are blurry. The holiday season here is huge and we want to take in as much as possible. As the unofficial Activity Director of this family, I have so much to do. If I can get some of my list done and find some joy in the process, I make no apologies to getting a head start.

So I am going to talk about the holidays. And my feed is going to start filling up with decorations, and baking, and Christmas Markets. If you want to know about our life here, you will have to understand that it is is part of the package. I do promise to talk about other stuff as well, if that makes it any less painful. Also while we are on the subject, temperatures have dropped and it is bound to snow sooner than later.

So there are going to be a weird amount of pictures of my southern babes experiencing winter. Just putting that out there. Sorry not sorry. I swear we eat fruit and veggies! Today is my favorite day of the week! Hear me out. Back in the States, grocery shopping was something I really did not give much thought to.

It was so easy. You drive to the store, buy groceries for a week or a day or a meal, pack your car up and drive home.

Man, oh man. Did I take that for granted. One of our biggest decisions here was to not buy a car. At least not immediately. Most days, this is not a big deal. Public transportation is pretty awesome and I tend to walk everywhere I can within reason.

The one place where this plan falls short is shopping, especially for food. See, we are 5 people. We consume a lot. Enough that it is sometimes a big production at check out. So I grocery shop a lot. Almost daily. I have to haul it back to the apartment on foot and it is not my favorite part of our life here.

I have a trolley which makes it so much better but it is definitely an uphill battle. Which brings me to my favorite day of the week, delivery day. Back home, grocery delivery was a thing and curbside pick up was a thing and I just never used them. I quickly decided here that I needed a better solution, pulling a trolley full of food home daily was going to be the end of me.

Luckily delivery here is a big deal and we have lots of options. So now I have my little splurge, seriously it costs me 10 euros a month, grocery delivery. Yes, I know. Cool your tits Copper, it is just groceries. I get it, I know how pitiful this post is. But I get to sit on the couch, drinking coffee while I set up an order and poof, it comes to my door a few hours later. I mostly do stock-able items, I am picky about produce and meats. Still, it makes a world of difference in my day to day.

Did I mention they deliver booze too? Every night, long after the last book is read, the kisses are had, and the lights turned off, noises come from the boys room. Every night for about 20 minutes. Whispers, sounds, and giggles. So we allow it. They have meant to be from day one. Red was born while Dude was still a baby.

Fourteen very short months and one day after Dude was born, Red made his appearance. There was a lot of concern that there would be jealousy, outbursts, setbacks. From the day we brought him home, it was like he was always meant to be here. Dude loved him immensely from the second he meant him. And the feeling was mutual. Bubbas and Best Friends. That has never stopped them from believing that they twins from a different time. They are inseparable. All of their milestones have been closely related.

When one decided to do something like potty training, the other followed shortly. They have always missed each other greatly when separated, those first few years of school for Dude were long for Red.

Afternoons after pick up though were like they had never been apart. When given the option to have separate bedrooms came up they acted like we were crazy. What is one of us gets scared? Want to hear a secret? Sure they fight.

Oh how they fight. It never last long though. Sometimes it makes me laugh, sometimes I fear what they may be plotting. Well, according to a new study , using any vessel other than a glass flute to carry your fizz in, could have a detrimental effect on the taste. Researchers from the Applied Research Laboratories at the University of Texas at Austin conducted a study to find out whether the type of bubbles affects the taste of champagne.

In doing so, they found that bubbles behave differently in different vessels and yes, this did indeed cause the taste to alter. What is the longest word in the english language with no vowels. What happens once in a minute twice in a moment and never in a thousand years.
