So, Chris has tagged me, if you read the comment in the post just before this post. I haven't been tagged for anything for more years than I am willing to admit, so here goes: Three Things I got For Christmas: 1. a pair of Levis jeans 2. a big blue candle 3. a bottle of wine And now Three Things I did not get for Christmas: 1. snow 2. Blue Bell Ice Cream 3. someone who will take care of me when I am old and feeble. So, this means I can sit in my kitchen in Germany in my Levis with no shirt on, drink a glass of my wine by blue candle light, dream about seeing snow and eating Blue Bell Ice Cream, and wonder what will happen to me some day long long away when my hair has all fallen out and I have more metal and plastic in my body than flesh. Now I am supposed to tag some people. Problem is, Chris has already tagged all who read and respond to my blog, so I don't have anyone left to tag, though I strongly suspect that there are people "in the shadows" who read my blog but choose not to comment. So, if you want to be tagged by me, just "holler" as we say in Texas...

Hi there, happy new year and all the very best for you! Sorry I haven't been around for a while and haven't commented... I've been away too... and a bit lazy.
Sorry to hear that your Christmas presents didn't include someone to look after you when you're old and feeble. But don't worry- you still have plenty of time left. There's still hope. :-)
Happy Birthday, Mark!
Oh, is it your birthday? Happy birthday to you then! All the very best... and may the next year of your life be full of surprises, adventures, inspiration, old and new friends, open doors and open hearts...
Thanks for playing.
I thought in socialist Germany you did not need anyone to take care of you because the state handled that?
It might be an interesting experiment to get you some Blue Bell ice cream. Should we try?
Happy Birthday! Sorry I missed you when you came to the states.
I'm not quite in the shadows but I am a first time reader... I'll play...
Three Things I got For Christmas(well actually Hanukkah... lol): 1.A very cool belt
2.a new camera
3. a book
Three Things I did not get for Christmas:
1. wine
2. Levis
3. snow =] It doesnt snow in Florida... but I even went north to Philly PA and didnt get any!!!
...someone to take care of me... well I signed that contract many years ago! lol
Happy Birthday! Hope the year brings you closer to that person you are looking for!
cheers! Kate
Thanks for all the birthday wishes! My day was Friday the 19th.
Don't worry about Blue Bell, Chris. It is wonderful that you think of me. Sorry I could not see you. Since I don't have my own car in Texas anymore, I am not as mobile there as I used to be. But come visit me here - really. Pick 14 days and go Dallas-Frankfurt and then Frankfurt to Leipzig either by train or by plane - I'll "take you over" from there!
Well, Karen, thanks for "spilling the beans" about my birthday - how do you remember that? I really have a hard time with birthdays - as you can attest - sorry.
Bettina: Thanks for the wishes. Yes, the weekend was great with good friends here, and I finally found one kind of whiskey I can drink - problem is a bottle costs 30Euros.
Aggie: it was totally fun. I think you can either die young or grow old, so I'll grow younger and then die old...
Kate: no Levis.... how sad, but don't worry about snow - it's not all its cooked up to be.
I don't think I was in Texas when you were anyway. I was in California over the holidays. I will have to take you up on your invistation, though. I would love to visit Europe again, esp with someone that knows the ropes.
