Ok, when your adorable husband is in the remote part of Switzerland playing with tanks, guns and running around in the cold, wifey is damn bored and wondering what shall she freaking cook tonight. I really really hate cooking for one. I bought some poulet, but I am not in the mood to cook it. I think I will just make a salad. Order up, one simple salad!
There are things I can do when he isn't here though, other than clean house and do less dishes; I can now watch dvds that doesn't require second thought if adorable husband will like it and if there is enough action pack parts to keep him entertained. I rented Ray tonight and I also bought two balls of wool to start knitting Anda her scarf I promised her.

Ok also another issue I want to bitch about, check out why Geneva is so freaking expensive below. Urg!

Genevan’s Purchasing Power still Powerfull
Swiss officials recently made a statement that the high cost of living in this country was damaging the purchasing power of locals. Two new studies contradicting that notion have just come out. Both Switzerland’s largest bank, UBS, and the OECD (the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) have released reports that claimed Swiss people and Genevans in particular were very well off. The OECD study argues that between 1980 and 2002, living standards in Switzerland went up by an total average of 0.5%. The UBS study compared seventy cities and found that although Geneva, Basle, and Zurich, were amongst the most expensive in the world, salaries were also some of the highest. The bank’s study went on to calculate the amount of work-time required to buy different products, such as bread or rice for example. The study’s results showed a Genevan only had to work 7 minutes for a kilo of bread, staggeringly little when compared to the 26 minutes needed for a citizen of Buenos Aires Argentina, or the 1hour 20 minutes for a Chinese person in Shanghai for a kilo of rice.
