101st

I realized it a little late, but that last post was my 100th post! It’s crazy to think I’ve been living in Prague for long enough to have 100 posts on my blog (which equals about a year and half). Thank you to everyone who has been reading along! I hope you enjoy my ramblings and attempts at telling stories from my life here. Here’s to 100 more!! (just kidding. that’s a lot of pressure. let’s take it one post at a time, okay?)

My Christmas in Prague was very relaxing and I spent most of the time eating and knitting. I kind of regret not taking any extra days off, but here in the Czech Republic you get three days off for Christmas automatically, so I can’t complain. It’s also wasn’t all that bad to be in the office all alone. I could eat my snacks without having to think about whether or not I’m chewing too loudly (being a chronically loud eater is my cross to bear).

{moose socks! this was one of the projects i did over christmas}

We managed to get out to the mountains for a day of skiing the weekend before christmas. No one tricked me by leading me to a black slope, like the last time we went skiing, so I’m happy to say there was no falling or crying from me. It was actually a completely pleasant time, expect for the few minutes were I thought the only way down one particular run was by going down a black slope and I panicked ever so slightly.

On Christmas Eve we met Daniel’s family at a pub near the castle for “christmas beer” – which is basically just drinking regular beer at noon. Please note how D’s grandmother is covering her mug out of fear that someone would sneak some more beer into it.

After some time talking at the pub (I heard some fabulous family stories during that time!) we all went on a walk around the castle and back to the center before heading back to Daniel’s parents’ house for dinner and gifts.

I have to admit that I skipped out on the carp this year. But I had plenty of řízek and potato salad to make up for it. On the 25th, we hosted lunch at our place.

For the lunch Babička made svíčková, which is always amazing, and I was wearing my new dress that daniel got me for christmas so I was a happy girl. Oliver, apparently, wasn’t so happy.

I honestly don’t know why Oliver looks so miserable. He is the most cuddly cat in the world and needs to be snuggled at least twice daily to keep him happy (he is actually taking a nap on my chest at this very moment, no lie), but when I try to capture it on camera he looks like he should have a thought bubble above his head with the text “FML” .

And here is one last picture just for the hell of it. Frankly, I just want to show off my fab new dress and what better way is there to do that than posting a few pictures of it on the internet. Isn’t that why blogs were created, anyway?

{thanks Katka, for the perfect holiday red nail polish!}
