The Little Things

Some days it's awesome parades, trips to Italy and finishing all your presentations that make you happy, and some days it's not. Like today for example, nothing too special. I got to sleep in until 8:45 (and other than Sunday that is the latest I have slept in for two weeks), and then M and I went grocery shopping, not usually a very awesome thing, more of a regular thing. But today it made the day awesome! We went to the Hauptbahnhof to get the groceries today cause I needed a Vorteilscard (the cheap train card).  There is a store up there called the Merkur, which we’ve been told about, but have never actually been there before. Anyway, it was much bigger than we expected right off the bat, but as we were walking down the aisles we found the most amazing thing ever… The International Food Aisle!! (Yes I do realize that being in Austria all of the aisles are international for me but just go with the flow on this one) We have been looking for some rather strange items, curry powder, soya sauce, you know things that should be in every person’s cupboards, and we found them!!! But not only that, we also found tortilla shells and Taco mix!! It was just the best thing ever!!!!!! (A very random thing to be happy about, but wow was it awesome!)

Following the shopping experience I headed off to class, and we had two little bilingual kids come in to talk to us. We had been playing “What’s the body part” in English and German and one of the little girls came up to me. She started to point at her hair, and I thought ohhh she wants to keep playing! So natuarally I said, “Yeah, that’s your hair! Where’s your nose?” She pointed with the other hand but kept pointing at her hair. I tried like three more times and didn’t get it. Then her sister said, “Violete” The little one was trying to tell me that my hair looked strange!!!! It was sooooo cute!!!

And then I got back home and there was an email from my Grandma! She sends me lots of emails and they just make my day!! So all in all the little things have been making my day today!

A happy for the little things,

Tiny
 
PS I got the demon thing wrong. They come on the 5^th then St Nick on the 6^th and then there is something that goes on the 24^th. Thanks P for pointing that out.

PSS Yes I know I went over my word limit, I’m just in a really good mood and don’t care!

This was just something pretty from the Chirstmas
markets that I thought I should photograph
