Mall in Munich

On our last night in Munich Luna and split up from the boys. It was weird being in a strange city not having any way to contact the boys who we'd kind of been using as our pass to safety!

We went into this giant mall, I still have the bag from it. It was super American and we had had dinner there the night before as a group. Our goals were to find tights and hats because we were freezing! We picked out neon blue tights to wear under our jeans but didn't have much luck with hats, Mostly, because I didn't want to mess up my hair... I was willing to sacrifice my ears. We wandered downstairs and it was huuuge! The basement was filled with so many people and there were chocolates, wine, adn valentines cards everywhere! Luna and I found her German edition of Harry Potter first and then we set out for candy. I got an octagonal yellow box of chocolates. Each wrapper had an impressionist painting on it. It was eating these later that night that I remembered I don't actually like German Chocolate... This was also where I picked up some chocolates with champagne in them for my parents. They ended up being awful but it was worth the funny looks on their faces. I remember at one point we were trying to meet up with the boys but we kept missing each other on the dozen or so different escalators.

New Years!

Over Thanksgiving Break I had my normal dinner at Hacienda with my YMCA girls. This time it was just me, Skipper, and Bingo but oh it was a blast! The best part is that we are all at different very stressful stages of teaching. I am just about to start student teaching, Bingo has just finished student teaching, and Skipper has just finished her first semester teaching at a middle school in West Lafayette.

After our quesadillas and loaded potatoes skins we were talking about what we should do the next day. The consensus? Chicago. I loooove where I live! I love being able to say, "I'm bored, let's go to Chicago!" While in our beloved city we discussed maybe getting a hotel room there for New Years. OMG YES!

I have never celebrated New Years. Normally I am asleep by midnight and due to the terrible weather where I live it is usually highly unlikely that the BF can come visit. So the prospect of a real New Years, in my favorite city, with my favorite girls? YES! So of course I have spent hours looking for New Years dresses! I'm leaning towards the bright blue or yellow one but I dunno...

About Me

My photo
I love pretty pictures and fashion, decorating and paper. I use Harry Potter pseudonyms for all of my friends because as of now they are skeptical of the blogging world. I expect when we grow and up and move away and have babies we will all have blogs because that seems to be the thing to do. And when that day comes I will laugh and gleefully answer all their questions about blogger, thankful that they can finally share in the obsession with me! And secretly, I will be very proud that my archives stretch back much farther then theirs. Pennies From Heaven is where I write everything. I put my favorite photographs there, my favorite fashions, thoughts, stories, and humorous conversations between Hermione and I.
