{Wordless Wednesday} Mr Hausfrau went to Germany

In March Mr Hausfrau went to Germany. The first half of his trip was business. He toured the Volkswagen factories.

How awesome is this for car storage!?! Four photos up is the seats you sit in and get lowered out above this! Wow!

The second half of his trip was fun fun fun. He visited family and ate and drank and drank and ate.

It's been a while since I linked up with Bree from Twinkle in the Eye for a Wordless Wednesday!

If you've been following me on facebook you may or may not know that I have registered for a 220km bike ride  for the Perth Ride to Conquer Cancer in 2013. This is a cause close to my heart as I have lost some very special people to this horrible disease. As part of my entry I need to fund raise a minimum of $2500 to take part in the actual ride. I really hate asking for donations but I've been told that it's the only way! Do you have a spare $2? Every little bit helps. All money raised will go directly to support cancer patients and their families and all donations $2 and over are tax deductible. Thank you!!



The winds of change are blowing! (Alternative title - Mr Hausfrau is now a blogger)

I smell change in the air....

Remember Mr Hausfrau's addiction?? Remember how I thought it wouldn't last but I was proven wrong?? Remember how he  sucked Random Boy into the cult that is Battle Pirates???

Well it finally happened.

It's been replaced.

With a blog.

Yep.

This morning after our Sunday bike ride, and after his earlier than usual "nanna nap", I fielded a few unusual (unusual for him) questions from him.

"Where did you get your font from for your blog?"
"Do you remember my gmail email password?"
"What do you use to access google+? Your real name of your blogs name?"

Huh????

Then a little light bulb switched on over my head!

"Um honey? Are you starting your own blog??"

"Maybe" he says, with a silly little grin on his face...

Lord help me!

So without further adieu I give you

Want to hear it spoken click here

Mr Hausfrau (who will remain Mr Hausfrau for the time being on my blog) is now...

 Der Scharfschütze - Aka "The Sharp Shooter"

This is Mr Hausfrau's take on a German living in Australia and everything in between!

So not exactly a German Aussie "Daddy Blogger", not quite defined yet. He is still finding his way.

I'm just hoping that this is the end of the other addiction! Best not pop that champagne just yet me thinks......But pass me a wine anyway, I'm going to need it!

At breakfast this morning after our bike ride

If you blog, does your husband blog too??

ATTACK OF THE GREEN EYED MONSTER - or the lesser known title of "Why I'm likely to be bitchy to Mr Hausfrau in March"

By now you all know why I'm the Aussie "Hausfrau" don't you??

No?

Ok here's the low down!

Mr Hausfrau is German. I'm Australian born and bred. I'm married to him. I'm The Aussie Hausfrau.

haus·frau  

Noun A German housewife. A woman regarded as *overly efficient.

*I'm pretty sure they screwed up with point 2. I'm definitely NOT "overly efficient"

Get it now? Haus is German for House. Frau is German for Wife/Mrs/Woman

Hausfrau = House Wife 

Phew. I'm glad we have that sorted.

So if you follow me on Facebook you may remember a couple of weeks back I was "Sipping on French Champagne and celebrating Mr Hausfrau's awesome news"

Well the lucky bugger **won a trip to Germany through his work! Sans me!!! That part I can handle, you know, 'cause it's a "work trip" and I'm a supportive wife and all that crap. BUT while there he's taking an extra week or so off and will be off to visit MY Schwiegermutter (Mother in Law) and MY Schwiegerbruder and his family (Brother in Law) AND MY Schwiegervater and family (Father in Law) AND I'M AS JEALOUS AS ALL BUGGERY!!! 

IT'S NOT FAIR GOD DAMMIT!! 

*breathe*

(Yes yes, it's his family. I know. I know. But I love them like my own!)

We had plans of me meeting him over there once his "business trip" is finished but alas, it just ain't doable. Things don't line up with kids v's their Dad taking them v's school holidays v's my Mum being off work.

So off he flys in 4 weeks time off to the land of beer and pretzels. Without me. For two weeks. Without me. By himself. Without me.

I'm thinking many a fight will be picked in the lead up. By me. I'm good like that.

In the meantime I'm milking it. Most conversations start like this. "Hey honey, you know how you're going to Germany soon. Can you please (insert whatever I need/want here)"

I'm also making a list of everything I want need brought back.

1. Black Forest ham. The real Black Forest ham.
2. A million gazillion pretzels
3. German beer and wine. At least 2 cases of each.
4. Wurstsalat. Lots and lots of Wurstsalat.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.



On the positive side. Guess who gets full use of the remote control and the entire space of the king size bed for 2 weeks?? ME! It's going to be fanfeckingtastic.

Now, if I can just stop that green eyed monster from roaring so much!

Would you be jealous too??

More importantly - can you think of anything I can add to my list?

**As much as I'm super jealous I am also super duper proud of my spunky man. He won this trip because his car dealership was the 3rd best (for his brand) in the whole wide space of Australia for 2012!! Please also know that this is all written in jest. I'm not a cold hearted biatch and Mr Hausfrau read all this before it was published. Tongue in cheek people, tongue in cheek ;)

Linking up with Jess from Essentially Jess for #IBOT

Pirates have my boys held hostage!

Very sleath like, maybe even Ninja style, I snuck into Random Boys room to retrive my laptop so I could join in on todays #IBOT (That's I Blog On Tuesdays if you're not familar. It's hosted by the one and only Jess from Essentially Jess. If you've never been you really should stop by and have a gander! The recent #IBOT is here)

So where was I? Oh yes. Ninja style.

You see, I needed to steal my laptop back as Random Boy has pretty much held it hostage since the beginning of the holidays.

Why?

Oh let me tell you!

Remember waaaaay back in the beginning of October last year when I told you about Mr Hausfrau's new addiction? Then at the end of October when I was forced to eat my words?

No? Ok well I'll wait here and enjoy my laptops return while you head off and catch up! (Links are just above)

(for those too busy to play the catch up game I'll give you the quick low down. Mr Hausfrau started playing a stupid facebook game called Battle Pirates which I nicknamed Butt Pirates. In the past these little addictions never really lasted more than a week or two so I wasn't worried but by the end of October I knew that I had been mistaken! But you really should go read up on it - I'm pretty sure I wrote it funnier than that last year)

Ok - all caught up? Good.

So what's this got to do with Random Boy?

Well it seems that Mr Hausfrau, after almost 4 fecking months of the stupid game is still hooked AND he has now sucked Random Boy into playing too!!

I've now lost both of my boys to the pirates! *sob*

Random Boy playing Butt Pirates under the experienced instructions of Mr Hausfrau

Just for the record. I wrote this post this morning at 8am - then my laptop was stolen back and I'm only just getting to finish and click publish now at 1250!! Someone had to check his ships!!

Mr Hausfrau if you're reading this I'd like an iPad for my birthday please!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR HAUSFRAU (PLUS MY FIRST EVER GIVEAWAY!!)

Today is Mr Hausfrau's birthday!!

My German spunk is another year spunkier!

Trying to think of a great present for him was a challenge! What to buy for a man who wants for nothing? He is the type of guy who would think that a kiss and an "I love  you" would be the best. gift. ever!

In the end he scored his favourite chocolates and a ticket to his favourite music festival! The big groover that he is!!

Now - if I was a little smarter I would have searched for a great deal online

So when *Groupon contacted me last week and asked if I would host a give-away maybe I should have taken that as a sign to make it easy for myself and order his present from their site!! Did I? Sadly no - but I've got my eye out now for a bargain for his Christmas present.

In the meantime I've got my eye on this - perhaps for PrincessBF's upcoming birthday - perhaps for myself ;)

So now for the give-away!!

Groupon have given me 2 x $30 vouchers to give to 2 of my lucky readers. Perhaps to buy something for yourself or a night out for dinner with your special someone - or maybe you're like me and need a last minute present idea - Christmas is only 27 26 sleeps away!! Groupon is local (restaurants and services) and Australian wide (shopping and holidays etc)

All you need to do is pop over to their website (you can also download their app on your smart phone! Too easy!) and then leave me a comment on this post telling me what you would buy! (Follow the instructions on the Rafflecopter)

You can get bonus entries too by liking my facebook page - following me on Twitter and tweeting about the giveaway!

Unfortunatley this comp is only open to Australian residents.

Are you all organised for Christmas? I can't believe that I'm about to say this but apart from Mr Hausfrau's Christmas present - I. AM. DONE!!! Everything is bought and wrapped and it's not even December yet! I'm not sure what is wrong with me!! It's a freaking miracle! A freaking Christmas miracle!!

*Just for the record - yes Groupon have given me a voucher too to promote their site - maybe I'll buy the vibrating bullet - you know what I mean - You saw it too didn't you! ;)

{Wordless Wednesday} I was wrong.

Remember when I told you about Mr Hausfrau and his new addiction and I laughed and said it wouldn't last long?

I was wrong.

Intervention time?

I can totally do that yeah??
