This morning when Sasha and I were on a walk, we passed by some sheep who proceeded to follow us along the fence. It was so funny and I for real felt like they were stalking us. I died laughing and Sasha thought it was pretty funny, she kept saying "Hi sheep!" it was cute.
My life is becoming more normal, I am starting to occupy my weekends with fun things with my new friends. Kinda sad that my hockey player friend is becoming less of a friend.. I think its the pro athlete mentality and the fact that guys cant be friends with remotely good looking girls. So dumb.
Anyway I got an invite by my friends Philip and Maja's parents to come spend Christmas with them in Switzerland and I cried. I am so happy to have a family to spend Christmas with :)
peace and blessin's

funny how your own thoughts and beliefs rock your own world
I had an epiphany today. I realized that I've been moving in the wrong direction. I have been doing all these crazy things and what not for sure, but what for? What am I trying to prove? How do these things make me a better person? They haven't really. I am going back to where I was 2 years ago and renewing once again my relationship with God. I've kind of abandoned my beliefs for good times, but thats NOT who I am. I know that if anyone, God loves me and in the end HE's the one that is going to judge me. I feel as if I've been a huge hypocrite and its time to make things right. So that's what I'm going to do. I have a whole lot of things to think about and I've got to do it right. I needed this revelation today to set me up for what I know is true in my heart.
Thats all for now.
Peace and blessins

First Babysitter's Club meeting.
SO Last night I hung out with some other au pairs in the greater Zurich area. Their names are Jessica and... Jessica?? haha So there was a Jessica and a YESsica. Sweeds are lazy with their tongues apparently, so I was Yamie. Anyway we met up at around 7:30pm and proceeded to go to coop to get some drinks and head to the park to sit and drink, kinda like homeless people. Except you can drink where ever the bump you want to here. So here's what I can remember from last night:
(please excuse the scattered details, everything is REALLY fuzzy right now if that says anything about what I did last night)...
1. Drink in the park, get pretty drunk, wait for another girl Marie to show up.
2. Head to Lady Hamilton's. When we got here it was a sausage fest. PERFECT for me right? So we walk in, I'm in Heaven of course and right of the bat I see this guy that is pretty cute at the bar. SO we walk around.. well.. Yessica and I dance our way over to the bar and there just so happens to be a bar stool RIGHT next to Mr. Hottie Pants. So we get to talking and I let something important slip out and it was the WORST IDEA EVER. As soon as I said that, he whips out a card that proves hes a POLICE OFFICER. WTF. My stomach dropped and not only was he a police officer his 2 friends with him were ALSO POLICE OFFICERS. Oh my GAH I thought I was done for, but nope :) of course I worked my charm, not that they were going to do anything anyway. For the life of me I can't remember the guys name and I wish I could because it was really different which is probably why I can't remember. So we stay there for a while, do some dancing and I dont know at what point we decided to leave, but we did.
3. Nelson's pub. I wish I had a picture of the sign outside the pub, it says something like "the only english pub." Which is false. Anyway, we stand outside at first, its literally right next to Lady Hamilton's. Also, side note, DO NOT TRY AND TALK IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE WHEN YOURE CLEARLY NOT VERY GOOD AT IT SOBER. I recall pretty clearly thinking this guy in a green shirt was cute. Anyway we head in and of course the first guys that start to talk to us are quite weird and not english. So we move right along to the next open area of space to stand which just so happens to be right next to the guy in the green shirt. We start talking (me and green shirt guy, who has a name now, David) and he is actually another 30 year old. I think I have a magnet to men over 26 now. I had the opposite problem at home, a bunch of teenagers loved me there. Anywho, we dance and surprisingly hes a GREAT dancer. I was really impressed and before I left I gave him my number and apparently gave him a big ole smooch as well. Jessica has a picture. I think at this point I was kinda drunk because I had no idea the kiss happened and Jessica actually had to tell me today that it happened and that she has evidence?! Oh geez, can't wait to see what that looks like. I am actually anticipating the picture because I agreed today to go to dinner with him on Monday night, BUT I kinda don't remember what he looks like...
4. So we leave there and walk across the river. I dont remember this, but I do recall going to a place called Big Ben and it was a lot of older people and a few people our age. Hated it. So we went back to the outside of Lady Hamiltons. I dont remember getting there either. But it happened.
5. While we are outside Jessica tells me her boyfriend is coming to get her soon :( and I was definitely not ready to leave yet, so I run inside looking for a cute police officer who I see at the top of the stairs. He asked me why I was gone for so long (I was??) and I dont know what I said, but I do know that it lead to another pash. At this point things are hazy, but I think his f-buddy walked in and he was really nervous about her seeing him talking to me?? so he left me. Which is ok, no big deal. I wasnt torn up about it. Also, outside we meet this guy Elia who tells us he's married. Come to find out he's not. I asked him why he lied to us later and he said he wanted to seem edgy? about having a wife at home and not caring. Who the heck thinks that is cool?? WHO DOES THAT?? So weird.
6. I finally decide that its time for me to go home at around 1:45am. The night train comes once an hour (ughhhh) at like 2:35am, 3:35am and so forth. I really had to pee at this point as well and I only had 1.90 CHF for a 2 CHF bathroom fee. I was STRUGGGGGLIN. So I go to sit at the platform I have to be at thinking that I can hold it for another hour and fifteen minutes. I sit down next to this guy who is also going to Zug. He can tell I have to pee and lends me 2 CHF. Come to find out his name is Albert. ALBERT. I just about lost it when he told me his name. I'm sorry but Albert to me is a funny name. We keep talking and I find out he is 26, Latvian, and smart. He drives a motorcycle and ASKED ME IF I WANTED A RIDE HOME. Oh my goodness I of course said yes, its been my dream to ride on the back of someones motorcycle in Europe since I got to the country. So we get to Zug, he gets his keys and he drives me home. It was amazing. I loved every minute of it. So he drops me off, kisses me, and leaves.
All in all it was a successful night, even if its a bit hazy. I had a great time and I LOVE the girls I met. They are just my kinda girls like back home.
Monday night I have my date with David and on Tuesday night I'm going to the Zug-Geneva hockey game. I am so glad I am finally starting to do fun things with my life.
That's all for now.
Peace and blessin's

Whoops
Just became facebook friends with hockey player. He has a girlfriend perhaps? Still we can be friends. I can look at him like a brother, as I do most 30 year olds.
Sorry I've been negligent.
SO this past weekend was the big weekend with Eddy. I just want to say that I had a good time. It went as follows:
Friday night I get to Kloten at about 9:30pm. We went to sleep at 11. Thats how my day went. We were both tired.
Saturday we went into Zurich and walked through the city and walked around the lake for what seemed like hours. I def brought the wrong clothes by the way. Swiss weather is similar to Knoxville in the sense that you dont know WHAT the weather will be like that day. Found some cool spots to relax. My feet were KILLING me by the time we got home. I proceeded to take a 2 hour nap until 8pm. We wanted to go to the city to get food, but once again we were too tired to do much so we went to a local restaurant got a pizza and some beer and went back home. We then again fell asleep pretty early.
Sunday.. oh Sunday.. We went into Zurich again and he convinced me it would be a good idea to rent bikes. So we did. Little did I know though that we would be biking our way up a flipping mountain. If I had known that, I wouldve brought proper attire. Needless to say I was not happy. My shoes went to shit. I was sweaty and pissed on the way up. AND THE VIEW WAS SHIT. He got mad at me for complaining, but WTF I did it didnt I? And at least I didn't make a comment on every good looking guy that walked by. Lord have mercy, dudes, biggest turn off to anyone is you commenting on how good looking someone is, when youre with a girl. SO STUPID. So by then I was glad it was Sunday. We also checked out the gardens and this huge park I had no idea about. So now I know where to go on nice days in Zurich. When he left I was sad, I all in all had a good weekend.
Glad its over though. I realized that I am definitely a-ok on my own. Being obligated to entertain someone is the last thing I want to do while trying to relax on my weekends off.
I haven't heard from the hockey player since last Thursday.
This Friday I am excited about because I came in contact with some other nannies on facebook and we are meeting up in Zurich! Should be a fun night and something to write about :)
This week has gone really well with Sasha, she has really taken to me now which is a relief. We have good times all the time now, which makes my life way easier. I love Switzerland.
Until next week,
Peace and blessin's

After I felt bad for myself and cried.. this is whats been happening.
SO. After i had a good sob on Sunday night because I was pissed I missed football and my friends.. people with the names of Nicki Golen and Allison Werner helped me realize that this is a great opportunity and I cant take it for granted.
So here I am enjoying myself. But it does have to do with the fact that I had a nice little hang out with a neighbor with the name of Andy. Hopefully I'll be seeing him soon. I had a good time.
MEANWHILE.. Tomorrow Eddy comes to town. I can't wait! It should be a good time considering he's one of the few people that can "keep up" with my personality. I will probably be out of commission this weekend so dont be mad at me if I dont answer you until Sunday.
Ok thats it.
Peace and Blessin's

ps. the 2 year old and I are making improvements. She's re-starting to like me. HUZZAH!

Zug Hockey.
So I went to my first Zug hockey game. It was really different from the NHL stuff I've been going to.
1. WAY less fans.
2. WAY more beer (12 year olds?? I think so...)
3. Hockey players come drink with everyone after the game... :)
Of course I gave my number to one of them. Andy Wozniewski. Google him, I did, hes got a Wikipedia!
Anyway I got a little bit drunk last night at the game. I went with my new friend Maja and her husband. It was really fun and I made a new friend.. Now I have 3 and a half friends in Zug!!! WOOOO
Meanwhile, I am sad that I am not even in America to watch our first football game against Tennessee- Martin. If we lose, I'm no longer claiming where my alma matter is, I'll just say UT and not specify which one. I'm just serious.
Today I got my eyebrows done, I've got this really cute guy visiting me this coming weekend and I didn't want him to think my face looks like a dudes due to lack of personal grooming. Anyway it was glorious. I'm debating on if I want to get my hair done soon and make it more stylish or not. I want to grow it out, but I dont want to have an awful boring haircut. Ohhh the daily delimmmas I have now.
IT SURE BEATS SCHOOL THOUGH! baaahahaha
ok time to hang out with myself more??
xx J
