Amanda, from Ramstein-Miesenbach, Germany!  You are currently reading 5,784 miles from me in Pasadena, CA. Or 9,310.8 kilometers. Or 5,027.4 nautical miles. I THINK I have the perfect thank you gift, but I will know for sure next week. Please e-mail me at Jonezie127@gmail.com with your address and I'll send it as soon as I can. How long does it take to send something 5,027 nautical miles, I wonder?  You'll have to let us know when you get it.

As for the rest of you...those who read next door, those who read 2,500 miles away in New York and New Jersey, and EVERYONE in between...thank you thank you thank you for coming with me on my quest to lose the weight, find myself, and rejoin society! Next post...speed dating! Stay tuned.

Hey, neat! Thanks, Elizabeth! :)

To answer the questions from before, I am in Germany because my husband is active duty Air Force. We've been stationed here since 2003! It has been a tremendous amount of fun; being so centrally located we've been able to travel to several of the surrounding countries. We have definitely enjoyed our stay! We are scheduled to move back to the states (although we don't know exactly where) in July or August of this year.

The chocolate here is beyond words, but something that a lot of people don't know about unless they've been here is how spectacular the bread is. I'm probably carrying a good 20 lbs just from that alone. Sigh.
