I thought we were going to have to wait until we got to Germany to start learning German...Hubby had said we might get enrolled in a course when we got there. However, he got the go ahead to order Rosetta Stone - German which just arrived today!

Move Time-line Update
The hubby just returned from Germany and reports that the official piece of paper that tells the relocation people that we get to move has been lost, so the process is just starting now. Looks we will be there more like in January.

First view of Erlangen
The Hubby took a trip with the HR guy to Erlangen yesterday. It was raining, but he captured this picture with his cell phone (or "Handy" as they call them in Germany). It seems to be a small town with a nice downtown that has lots of outdoor cafes and such.

Review: Premium m&ms
I saw that there was a new type of M&Ms...Premium M&Ms.They have the following flavors:
- Chocolate Almond
- Mocha
- Triple Chocolate
- Raspberry Almond
- Mint Chocolate.
I tried the Mocha as I quite like chocolate and coffee flavors together.
The M&M site said: "Chocolate decadence meets coffeehouse chic! Each golden-brown nugget contains pure milk chocolate with a jolt of mocha flavor. A scintillating addition to java-time conversations, gallery walks or simply curling up with a good book."
These "m&ms" do not look like the typical m&ms...they have a sort of shimmery gold finish and they are larger too. The shell is not as hard as regular m&ms, so when you pop one in your mouth, the outside melts right away, so you tend not to chew them. As such, you also tend to only eat one at time, which is a good thing, as the package costs $3.99. The chocolate is definitely better than regular m&ms, but is not super premium. The coffee and chocolate flavors are nicely balanced. If you can nibble on chocolate and not eat the entire box, then I would recommend trying these!

Telling People
The littlest daughter has been telling people we are moving to Germany. I am getting a few "My daughter says your daughter says you are moving to Germany??? Is that true?"
I say indeed we are, but I have no more information than that. I have not told everybody at work that we are moving (but have told my boss) because I have no information or timelines to share. I am sure once the process starts it will be so fast I can't stand it, but right now it is hurry up and wait.

It's JUDGMENT, people, JUDGMENT
As a person who once failed a paper in English because I spelled it "judgement", I particularly notice this misspelling.

Those Helpful People at Pathmark...Oddly Enough
I like blogs like:
This is a sign that doesn't quite fit into any of those categories, but should.
Possibly Why These People Don't Run Our Cafeteria Anymore
Get it? It's "ECO FRIENDLY" because it's GREEN soup?
No, I did not try it!
