My Expat Gal Pals

28/365: The Lake of Zurich

The weekend is here, well almost! This means another week gone by. Ian had a blast this past Wednesday visiting his little friends and so did Mommy. The children’s fair that I suggested we all go to turned out to be a downer.

Daugther of Sobia

There were only 3 stands and another which had an author of a children’s book. She read to the children while you were able to go look at stuff. My son was too young for that so he decided to pull books off the tables instead and try to escape out the door. Okay, so it wasn’t all that bad. I did get two books and a music CD for Ian and some English greeting cards (so hard to find around here) for me. We ended up having bunches of time left over, which allowed us to have a nice walk along the lake. We all still had a blast but now one of my gals is going home to visit family for two months. We expats have got to do what we have to do, but I will still miss the company.

Tomorrow my Mother-in-law is going to take Ian so we can get some things done... like search for a new T.V. stand! Wahoo finally, we really need something that Ian can’t get into as much and a place for me to put books and my collectables. Going to have to be a big ole’ thing!!

Happy Friday!!

Welcome to the..

Welcome to the weekend..wahoo! I have some pretty fun stuff coming up in the next few days. Lets see.. tonight I actually get to go to the movie theatre and see a movie with my Hubby, Saturday I get my Beans aka Ian back from his Grandma (although I have loved the break, I miss him soo much!), Sunday I am going to an expat-expo, and Monday I get to meet two English speaking Mommies and their children. Exciting!

I am unsure what movie we are going to go see tonight since Hubby is working a little late but none the less I am excited to just spend that time with him and my 2nd love, movie theatre popcorn..yum!

The expo should be interesting. I heard about it through a Swiss family forum I am subscribed to. It is a way for expats to connect with their city (sadly it isn’t the city I am from). They will have stands for doctors, churches, restaurants, stores, etc..and prizes and tons of free stuff! You can’t beat that. Plus, I can register for an absentee ballot. There is now way I am going to miss the big upcoming election. J

For the mommy meeting, I was going through another Swiss expat forum and found some ladies on there looking to meet other English speaking mommies. It just so happens one of the ladies has a 2year old daughter. Can we say perfect playmate for Ian! I am excited but hope that I will connect well with these women. We shall see.

For those keeping up with my 365, here are the pictures from the last 4 days:

7/365: In the mood for noodle soup..so I made some :)

8/365: I am feeling so stiff and knoted in my shoulders lately so I thought this conveyed the pain I am feeling. (picture of the stove vent)

9/365: I am still eating the yummy noodle soup and nothing like adding fresh Swiss bread

10/365: Way too much laundry to do!

Have a fantastic weekend everyone!
