New Year's Resolutions for 2011

Well I won't post them here too.. just have a look at my other blog

http://blondemuus.blogspot.com/2010/12/new-years-resolutions-for-2011.html


I guess.... I'm ready for 2011... but the real question is... is 2011 ready for me??? ;)

Happy New Year :)

Bad Girl

Yes I've been a bad girl and left my B'more blog alone for too long.

Honestly, nothing much has changed and I'm still in Israel. The situation to move isn't the best.... just pretty risky right now to open a Biz in the US. So I'm sitting here, training for my first real marathon and wait.. :)

What have you been up to?

New Year's Resolutions...

Alright... as we are heading towards the end of the year, here some of my 2010 new years resolutions:

 

•  I try to listen more and talk less (same goes for reading and posting)
• I try to keep more private (it seems, being an open person only gets me into trouble... no need for that in 2010)
• I try not to let people mess with my life (like: bank people, insurance people and government people)
• I try to stay calm and not get to angry at my dogs when they eat yet another sofa, some books, my beloved heels or anything else that's edible
• I try not to bitch about other people anymore, if someone is p***sing me off, I will just tell them into their face. (Am I too optimistic with "be honest"???)
• I try to have my house renovated in the next two months and sold before my b-day
• I wanna move to B'more before the summer
• I wish for world peace!!! (oh.. ok.. I am getting a bit carried away... lol and anyways.. it's not a n.y's r. but I can still wish for it...)
• I pray that I am going to have my Hallux Operation and my Breast Reduction in 2010
• I wanna lose another 20 pounds (don't was say that every year???... lol)
• I would love to run the NYC Marathon and some Sprint Triathlons to get closer to the Ironman (some time in the future)
• Should I add, that I would like to find a decent boyfriend once I moved? (or is that TOOO much of wishing again... boyfriend vs. world peace.. hmm.. ok.. I go for world peace, that's more important)
• I try to be a good dog and cat mommy
• I promise, I won't buy too many shoes in 2010 ... (I won't define "not too many") lol
• I try to visit my family (or whats left of them) in 2010 in Switzerland.. (haven't seen them for over 5 years!!!)
• I try to set up a class reunion (Business Studies).. haven't seen them for hmm... almost 15 years.. (gosh.. I AM old.. haha)
• I wish for myself to be brave and independent and not listen to those who are negative but embrace only words of encouragement
• I hope, that I am able to see a lot of Swim Meets next year (especially Cali... woohooo and meet up with loads of PP&P's... awesome girls!!!)

  Well I guess... that's about it... :) lol...

 

 Have a wonderful and happy New Year... and may 2010 be a GOOD year for once.. I had enough bad years... (I honestly think, I deserve a good one after all the sh*t I've been through the last few years.... )

 

Love you all... see you "next year"... keep smiling :o)

December 2009

Do you believe it's December already? Well, I don't, and yet, the year comes to an End and I am still in Israel. (Time just goes by too fast and I can't even catch my breath).


So, where do I actually stand with my move?

Concerning my house, nothing really has been done yet, other than packing. Boy did I pack and cleaned out. I surprised myself... lol ... Once I move, there will be only a few boxes, not the 350 boxes I took with me from Switzerland five years ago, when my mother passed away and I had to clean out her flat. My guess is, about 50 boxes all in all. The "good" thing is, that I won't have to schlepp any electric appliances with me. 110 Volt Baby!!! So.. I get everything new in the US. (Even though, I will be missing my fridge... but I get a cool new washer and dryer.. woohooo... Whirlpool.. here we go... )

The dogs and cats will get their own room and I can finally sleep in quiet. "Heaven on earth" I'd say.

When it comes to my Biz... well.. I have most suppliers I want, some I found by "accident" and some I knew for a long time, that I wanted to work with them. Others I am still waiting for an answer and I guess, I can only get the final answer, once I am in B'more and having a place.

So.... whats the next few steps? Simple.. first.. Ruth (my "adoptive" mom) is going to have pacemaker surgery next Sunday. Once she has recovered and the last pieces of furniture are sold (the antiques.. I am still working on selling them), we are going to renovate the house. Seriously.. nothing big.. just some paint... and some little things here and there. I do hope that sometime in January, the house will be on the market finally... and then.. only G-D knows... how long it will take to sell it. I honestly have no idea... it could go very fast.. it could take ages but the market in Yaffo is rather "hot" and people do like to buy there.. and a private house in the middle of it... well.. not too shabby... ;)

All in all, I might be on the move sooner than I hope or later than I fear... it's all a big game I guess... but the most important thing is, that I eventually will be on the move.

After visiting Berlin, I did realize, that I had enough of Israel and it honestly is time for a big change in my life. Work wise, Lifestyle wise, Health wise and Love wise. "We aren't getting any younger Missy".... so... if I do plan on meeting the man of my dreams (or as close as life can provide), I should rather "hurry" up... lol.. NOOO.. don't get me wrong.. no pressure here... lol.. I do enjoy my life as a single, but every now and then I do miss a hug from someone who actually cares.

Ah well, let the new year begin and show, what it holds for all of us, good and bad.. I am ready..

BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fina / Arena Swim Champ. Berlin 2009

Alright.. so.. not yet in Baltimore.. but.. half way... lol

Going to Berlin for the Swim Champ. in November 2009.... This is going to be so great and I honestly can't tell you how I feel right now.. loads of things have to be taken care of.. but I am pretty sure, I can manage it in time.

Friends in Berlin are getting the tickets... all I need to do, is show up and cheer for my Phelpsi... <3

So... another month.... to get in shape (I do think I should look as good as possible to impress.. lol).. and a month to pack... (yes.. usually I pack last minute... but this is serious.. so I guess... I have to start packing now.. at least my Pompoms... lol)

As soon as I know more.. I'll be updating you... but for now.. keep your fingers crossed, that nothing happens till November 13, 2009.... and that I'll be on my way... to see my Phlipper... crash Paul Biedermann.. lol

NO more patience...

Alright.... the big furniture are still not sold... and I just don't want to wait any longer. I'll be going to my bank next week to see, if I can raise the loan of my house a wee bit. After all, I don't need THAT much so I really hope, the bank will work with me.

Planning on going to Berlin Mid November for the Fina Swimchampionship... wooohooo... @Ellen, @Chaia & Joachim (Pina und Schlomi)... can't wait to see you all!!!!

So maybe I'll be able to open Biz in Dezember... just on time for X-Mas Shopping... would be great..

Keep your fingers crossed, after all.. in three weeks, we are heading into a new year... (Rosh Ha'Shanah .... love holidays.. haha).. and I'll mark a whole year since I decided to leave Israel... so it really is time to finally MOVE!!!
