April 1, 2001
Hi!
It's April Fool's Day! Funny, I wonder how it came about to make a holiday about trying to trick someone. April Fool's Day is also here in Germany. In fact we have a friend whose birthday is April 1st and Stefan used to go and light firecrackers at midnight out side on his bedroom balcony. He fell for it every year (must have been at least 5 or so years in a row) and was shocked to find that it was just Stefan.
I know I suck at writing my entries, but there isn't much to tell about. Except that I found out a couple of days ago that one of my best friends that lives in the US is finally pregnant after trying for 9 months or so. Gee, I wish it would only last that long for me. To be honest, I'm really happy for them. I know that they will both make the most awesome parents. I even thought about going there to help her right before the delivery, but since no one really knows when that is I've decided against it. I wouldn't think twice if I didn't live over 6,000 miles away, but I do.
I guess Stefan and I really need to take a vacation for ourselves this year. Since we bought the house, we can only afford one vacation this year and I don't want to be obligated to run around helping everyone. I've done that the last 3 times that we've flown to the US. The only times Stefan and I went on a vacation somewhere totally different (not visiting my family) was a) we went on a camping tour throughout Germany/Swizerland on the motorcycle, this was in 1997 and b) we flew to Turkey for a week, this was in 1999. Other than that we've been flying over to visit my family. It's not at all that I don't want to visit my family, especially my sister (so don't take this wrong, Sis!!), but this year we need to do something for us. We're thinking of going somewhere down south. We really don't know yet. I just want to go somewhere warm, either Mallorca or Morocco. We'll see. It's easier to find a reasonable price by booking a last-minute flight somewhere. So we'll really know where we go right before we go (in September).
I can't believe it's April already. Everyone started their taxes??? I sent out my American tax forms last week. I think it's stupid that I have to file here in Germany and in the US. But as long as I'm not double taxed, I can live with it.
I've been talking so much about the house and I want to include a couple of pictures, but since it looks like it has been bombed (at least from the inside), I really want to wait until we're done. We gave a 3 month notice, that we're moving out, yesterday and our last day is June 30th. By then we'll be moved it! Yea!! I can't wait to have new neighbors! Have I mentioned that our neighbors above us are the rudest neighbors that I've ever met? My FIL even calls them primative, and he likes everyone. I met some more of our new neighbors and they are sooo nice! Wow!
That's it for now.
Oh, before I forget... Stacy, thanks so much for the reassurance. You're someone that I can really relate to and you remind me that I'm not alone in the struggle with PCOS while TTC. I wish you and everyone else reading thisī, even those of you who aren't reading this, a positive week!!!
Take care,
Cindy
