That´s how it felt today when I opened my feedreader today. I recieved 456 (!!!) gorgeous presents. Some of those fair and beautiful presents are tiny, some are gigantic and some are something in between. You all have been blogging zealously while I was absent.
My abscence… I had to neglect my blog for a few days by reason of an urgent call from my real, non-cyber life.
Who´d have guessed this? Coffee-auntie Sanni´s got a “real” life, too. ;)
This real life has a marked preference: it loves to put obstacles in my way. I´ve swept most of those obstacles out, but some of them I can´t iron out easily. There´s some very personal stuff I still need to attend to - that kind of not bloggable stuff which I´d love to forget about… but I can´t swamp this stuff out anymore… and I know I will get my problems solved, step by step - and, hopefully I´ll get from strength to strength.
However, my real break, without posting and even reading my favorite blogs, is over. Real life grants me a bit more spare time to blog… and to visit you. I will unwrap my lovely postie-presents tonight, digging through your archives.
I confess I´ve opened 2 of my presents already. I found my big butt tagged twice.
The inimitable Barb @ Skittles´ Place tagged me to tell ya
Seven Things About Me
I can assure my seven facts will be the most boring you´ve ever read in this MEME!
1. I can´t stop buying glass candle holders. *TeeHee* How random was that? Seriously - though I think I´m collecting them now. They´re everywhere. I love love LOVE them!
2. I get my nails done every two weeks and pedi every three. I love getting my nails done because mine just won´t grow. It makes me feel soooo girly. :)
3. I have a very bad habit of licking my lips too much. So I always a (few) carry chap-stick(s).
4. I am so NOT a morning person. Although I do have to wake up (Hello, Luis! Thanks, darling! *LOL*), I despise mornings.
5. I love steak. Not just any steak… either it has to be t-bone or New York. When I was a child I would eat mine and then swallow any that others in the family would leave. To this day I can scarf a 24 oz! Love me some good ol’ steak baby! *Yum*
6. Although I love to buy shoes (453 pairs and counting) I prefer to go barefoot. Weird, isn´t it?
7. I have a bad habit of buying clothes in small sizes for the sole purpose of losing weight. I now have two full huge plastic containers in my closet just waiting for that special day. *LMAO* (Oh, this might help! *grin*)
And 7 people to tag?

The one and only Danielle at Modern Musings challenged me to jump on the
Musical MEME Wayback-Machine
(Can´t name it MEME, because I like to pass it on to Matt-Man, who hates the ME… thingys *grin*)
The rules:
1. Go to www.popculturemadness.com
2. Pick the year you turned 18
3. Get yourself nostalgic over the song´s of the year
4. Write something about how the song affected you
5. Pass it on to 5 more friends
God, I´m old :) - Are you ready for some 1992 nostalgia?
Here we go:
Jump Around - House Of Pain
Lithium - Nirvana
One - U2
Under The Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Damn, I wish I Was Your Lover - Sophie B. Hawkins
Hazard - Richard Marx
Sexy M.F. - Prince (And The New Power Generation)
Layla (unplugged) - Eric Clapton
1992 - The year of Grunge.
Possibly the hardest year in my life so far. I was busy (more or less) working on my Abitur (the German university entrance diploma), working in a pizza delivery service as a “cockroach” (kitchen help and telephonist) and in a cocktail bar (bartender). I moved out of my parents´ house when I was 16, living together with my “puppy love”. It was a hard, but fun time. Sometimes frustrating, sometimes fun - as you can see when you have a look at my song choices… absolutly different music genres, but totally me… reflecting my hopes and fears - culminating in my split personality =)
And you? Please let me know, especially you 5:
1.) Matt-Man
2.) Bud
3.) Trav
4.) Bond
5.) Mo
… and - just because I can´t count and I can´t get enough of her, Turnbaby again (Noooo… no other reason *LOL*)
I hope everyone had a bit of chocolate today!
*SMOOCHES* - I´m out!
And now…
… our moment of Homer J.:
Scully: Homer, we’re going to ask you a few simple yes or no questions. Do you understand?
Homer: Yes. (lie dectector blows up)
Sanni
Are you addicted to caffeine...?
