I am in America, waiting to eat a slice of my dad's deeelicious blueberry pie!
I came back to Ohio for a week to visit my family in Mecca and Stephanie and Karen in Columbus, and I've been having a good time in this strange culture (I know I make that joke every time I come back to America, but it is just So Funny. AND I really don't know where else you could catch a ballroom dance competition on TV where the couple is dressed and dance like robots!! Salsa dancing robots!). Steph and I spent a whole day bumming around town, seeing how much the Short North is somehow becoming crazy expensive and less gay. (sigh) Then, I went out for sushi with my brother, Elaina, and the aforementioned friends, and it was absolutely fantastic to joke around in English for an evening with a whole table of people that I love and haven't seen in a long time.
Life at my parents' has been über-relaxing. We're all watching Stargate right now. Other than that, my mom and I have been plying our needles! She made the cutest Pooh Bear pillow for my cousin Shan's new daughter, and I have started knee socks (with the yarn you gave me, Karen!).
Pictures of the knitting projects coming soon...
Kudos to Stephanie Lynch's blog. Oy, so witty.
Next time, I will tell the tale of the Nürnberg dance rehearsals... I think I will only be speaking German with the choreographer. Will that cause any funny situations, I wonder?

I think it's funny that you call the united states "america". can't exactly put my finger on why. are you talking about dancing with the stars? its like they were told to always make their face look like they are thinking "Ooh! that sure is sour!" or "I am so surprised right now, and amazed!"
Consider amending your plans and come see us!
Does uber-relaxing mean boring? No insult intended - we are boring and like it that way. We'll take a visit anytime. Miss you already!
Über-relaxing (in my personal unholy miss-mash of German and English) just means the ultimate in relaxation. I had a really great time! I miss you already, too.
