my best friend.

he sent me a shirt to cheer me up.
we met during my year in Cardiff, Wales. he is my best friend ever since. we are sneaker freaks.
therefore we truly are solemates:

the last few days...

lunch break.

The hubster left last thursday. Since then I am alone here. It feels weird.

I mean... we have always been in a long distance relationship until October 2011, but when we were apart, I had my old life with university, my friends and my job. 

Now,being in Austin, everything is different.. I haven't had the chance yet to make many new friends, my best friend Meredith is currently in Germany and I don't have a job... and most importantly by thursday I won't have a car which really will be the biggest pain in the ass.  

So, I am sitting at home, being a housewife and taking care of the dog. 

And waiting for the next steps to take in my AOS process. If only this would go faster... 

I am thinking about stuff to do around the house, in my area without spending money. Maybe re-doing this 30day photo project I did last year on my tumblr... hmm.

Any ideas???

to do list. work schedule.

as I pointed out earlier I love to do lists. I need to do lists.
here is my newest one:

pure stupidity.

wrote an awesome essay about the spartan women. and then saw that I was supposed to write about ancient ancient time women, not ancient time...
so.. another try and another day or two.

mission "skinny bitch".

my start weight are 175lbs.

I won´t follow a certain diet, I am on a vegan diet since 2005 anyway ;)
but I will avoid sugar, bad fats, sweets, soda... everything that is bad for all of us.
the only thing I won´t avoid is drinking coffee or/and black tea with vanilla soymilk...

oh and of course the mission name is an ironic one. I don´t wanna become a skinny bitch, just return to my normal weight from about 5 years ago...
"skinny bitch" is an awesome book to have a look at though.
have a look at the website of Rory Freedman & Kim Barnouin.
skinny bitches!


"If you can't take one more day of self-loathing, you're ready to hear the truth: You cannot keep shoveling the same crap into your mouth every day and expect to lose weight."

things I love.

I love Star Wars.
I know it seems to be trendy right now, but I loved the movies forever.
I am on the dark side mostly though ;)

these are my feet. since 2007.

operation zeus.

this morning my hubster left home for a 2month long road trip to film a documentary.

http://www.operationzeus.com/


Operation: Zeus is a documentary focusing on today' new breed of Veteran and the hardships they face in everyday "normal" life. Centered around the 1st Armored Division's 1st Battalion 6th Infantry Regiment, Operation: Zeus takes a look at a close family of "Blood Brothers" as they spend their lives seperately, after spending over 15 months in combat together..
The name comes from one of the men of 1/6 who took his life after struggling with depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety. His name was Scott Zaur, an honorable Infantryman and Sniper who fought bravely in 2 tours to Iraq, only to be kicked out of the Army and having to scrounge and beg for his hard-earned benefits. America needs to know who has defended her.

I am gonna miss him dearly. But this documentary is something so important, it has to be done.
He´s got my back 100%. Full support.
