New Clock

A glass painter came to the embassy at the beginning of December.  Andreas found this clock for the kitchen.  It's beautiful and glass.  I'm not sure that's a good combination for an overcrowded kitchen, but we're going to give it a try.

Yummy Thai Food!

 The night we got in to Munich, we were tired after the bazaar and after having walked back and forth looking for the hotel in the snow - and cold.  We asked the wonderful front desk clerk about where to get dinner, and he recommended this Thai place at the other end of the block.  We were glad he did.  It was wonderful!  Andreas got a satay appetizer while I had soup.  They even brought Andreas a small fire to allow him to singe his chicken more.  My soup's chicken dumplings were a little bland, but the lemongrass infused broth made up for it with a good bite.  Our rice came in a fancy tureen which barely fit on the table, and our main courses were huge.  For Munich, the prices were reasonable.  For Chisinau, they were expensive.  The restaurant was packed the whole time we were there, with people waiting for one of the twenty or so tables.  This place is definitely worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood of the Ostbahnhof in Munich.

New Roofs

There are a couple new roofs on the buildings on the bottom.  Still a lot of pretty solid blocks to fill in on the bottom, but the end is nigh!

Sparklies

Surprisingly, in the Sedlinger Tor market, we found a Chinese entrepreneur selling jewelry.  Yes, it's costume, but it is cheap and blingy, so we picked some up.  This is what I got!

Cute Puppy!

We saw this cute Bernese puppy while at the medieval market in Munich.  It was begging very politely, and exceedingly adorable.

End Of Year Report

I managed to do a lot and not do a lot simultaneously this year.  My crazy January shows that the most.  I finished two more of the 2011 ones and completed only 12 of my starts for this year.  On the other hand, my project book says there are 75 completed projects logged since the first of January.  It doesn't feel like that many!

So Very Close

Yay, I'm almost done!  This will make another finish on the crazy January list and a very blingy egg!
