1. Wow. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve done one of these confession posts. I was looking through old blogs I’d written, and reminded myself how much I enjoy these. I also reminded myself of a lot of things, like how I used to live my life without restrictions. Change is hardest when you don’t have a choice.
2. My favorite thing about Bavaria in the summer is all the cows on the trails. I want one.
3. I enjoy riding my bike, but sometimes I honestly wish I had my car. After a long day and a long week at work, the last thing I want to do is bike to get groceries. It’s exhausting.
4. I’ve found myself in a funk the last couple weeks. Could have been the revisiting of old blogs, or the physical exhaustion, I’ve just been admittedly down about my food restrictions. I know acceptance is the key to happiness, but some days I’m just O-V-E-R it.
Didn’t eat any of this, but how beautiful is this German charcuterie board?
5. I love living in Germany, but I’m burned out with my job.
6. I bought a dirndl and wore it out in public, but I was extremely uncomfortable in it for the first hour. I typically hide my body in loose clothing, so this was hard for me.
My amazing roommates and I.
7. I got my haircut by a woman that didn’t speak english, but we made it work. I then botched it by cutting more myself. I will never learn.
8. A little while back I went for an after work hike on a mountain called the Eckbauer. The weather was perfect when we started, but by the time we hit the summit the thunder and lightening hit and my anxiety reared up like a horse that saw a snake.
I don’t like being in situations where I have no control (who does) and this made me nervous. Be that as it may, I still had a great time with the two girls I was with, and the mountains were gorgeously moody.
9. I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing that the highlight of my week was officially becoming a regular at the German shop I buy roasted chicken from.
10. When my dad and step mom visited from the States last month, we spent their last day in Munich. We took a five hour bike tour which was fantastic, and I had a small crush on our tour guide. He wasn’t overly attractive, but he was from Ireland and all he had to do was speak. It was game over after his first word.
I love the Irish accent so much, I still found him attractive after I saw him smoke. Who am I…
Q: What’s your confession?

Ooo an Irish accent gets me every time too!
Brittany
I swoon so hard. Makes any guy an 8 no matter what he looks like.
AJ
Yup an accent definitely ups the attractive factor a lot!

I talked to a woman from the Irish embassy on the phone last week. Her voice was musical.
The tight clothes thing. Me, too. Makes not the slightest bit of sense because nobody else cares.
Brittany
No body cares, that’s the hard truth that I never can fully accept. Everyone cares about themselves more.

I love this post…I love Bavaria! You are so lucky to be living there; I have visited quite a few times. I was born in Germany (Dusseldorf) but have lived in Canada for most of my life.
I used to have a dirndl but didn’t wear it often; usually only during our Oktoberfest! 😄 You look very cute in it!
Brittany
Thank you! I do love living here right now!
Liz H
You wore the dirndl well!
Brittany
Thank you! 🙈

You look incredible in the dirndl! Sadly, the smoker would have meant game-over for me, even with the cute Irish accent.
Brittany
Totally fair. I wouldn’t be able to date him, but he was still cute regardless haha.

Can my first confession be how much I LOVE your confession posts??? 😉 I actually grew up next to cows, so they make me happy too! There was a huge field next to our house, and it was so fun to feed the cows celery and carrots through the fence. The baby calves were the cutest! 🐮 Burnout is NO joke. Especially when it’s from work. Sending you so much love and peace for the days ahead!! (PS “Steering by Starlight” has helped me with burnout and food restrictions, if you’re in the mood for a new book!) 😘❤️
Brittany
I love your book recommendations!! Thank you! Also, is it weird I like the smell of a farm?
Amy
NOT weird at all!! (Well… Unless by “smell of a farm” you mean “cow pies” and nothing else. Then that might be a teensy bit weird. 😉 )
