Life as a couple (is damn busy)

Yes, I found him...and now?
Now my life (and mostly my house) are suffering the changes. I know it's all well worth it but pleeeeeeaaaaseeeee..... why did nobody tell me??
There is a time for everything: There is a time for enjoying, there is a time for work, there is a time to relax and there is a time to change.
We have gone (and still go) through the 3 first ones. The latter, time to change, seems to be a neverending story.
It all started with the closet. Going from 1 to 2 means that me, a girly girl with all the must-haves of each season, needs to make space for those male jeans, shirts, socks, underwear, belts and hanging clothes.
This means of course, not only having to make a massive cleaning up of my own stuff (I said bye bye to very beloved stuff of mine...buuuuuh), but also making new spaces into the existing ones: This gardrobe needs a new bar...This kitchen needs some more space, let's put another closet!!
And so on and so on...

Life is in construction right now. Soon to be continued.

Fairy Tales

It's him. The frog. It actually turned out to be the prince we all dream about. I'm in love, I can't deny it. Yes!! Finally me! Who would have thought?
It has been a sort of modern fairy tale indeed, no horse, no bad stepmother. I did have a few bad dates though... :s
After searching for a long time and just a week after accepting I was to become an eternal single, he came into my life.
It was worth waiting.

Easter madness

What happened to Easter holidays? The last years seem to have changed into Easter from hell. Only bad things happen during that time. Of course, by any of those bad ones, there is always some positive lesson to take out of it, so at least I feel lucky after all.

Frogs' knowledge

I must admit, I've never had much knowledge about frogs. Today, during a little break in Amsterdam I saw these ones: very little, very beautiful (I also saw mice, but I did not think it was worth to make a photograph). I automatically liked both, the blue one (what a impressive colour!) and the yellow/black one as well. They looked so special...
Then I read under it: 'poisoneus'. WOW, what a meaning. No matter how much you like them, they can hurt you any time.
How adecuate to have a frog lesson today!!

After hitting the bottom, there is only one way

I have been through a lot and as we all know, when something bad comes, it never comes alone.
Lately everything seems to be quite quiet around my life. No big surprises. No drama.
I take now the lives of other people into mine and see how some of them go from extremely happy moments, to having problems one after one... I see it. I know how that feels. I can help being positive about it, because I do know: once you have hit the bottom, there is only one way to go: UP!! It is really great when you are over it and you can look back, knowing that such things are only temporary. As good luck is temporary, bad luck is as well.
I have reached now a point where i have all those 'seasons' behind me. There is nothing to worry about, nor to be really happy about. It is a quiet season now. What more could i ask for! Being in the middle is peaceful. It's a blessing. :)

Quiet Sunday

It seems a good idea to spend a sunday home. No appointments planned, no obligations, no 'to-do' things. Just be around the house, maybe do some backing, take a long warm shower...yes. My mind says perfect.
I decide to prepare my breakfast, bake some bread in the owen, prepare me some coffee...good life.
My bread looks gold and tasty, just warm out the owen. My coffee smells good too :)
Mmmh...I decide to take my breakfast on the couch, reading some magazines, the sun slightly shines on the couch, what could be a better idea?? So, i put my golden bread, my cup of coffee, the butter, the marmalade on a plate.
I walk to the couch and at the moment i'm about to put my tray on my lap, my cup falls to the side! My oh-so-great-smelling-coffee is now flying directly to the floor, but decides to wet my pants, my couch, my table and my dog on it's way to the floor, just before my cup touches the floor and decides to break, not on the first impact (when you think it just survived the impact) but, at the second bounce on the floor...
My morning has just take a new dimension: i rush back to the kitchen, take lots of kitchen paper, rush to the couch, meanwhile i try to clean my pants, watch my dog walk away, messing the floor all the way with his coffee-wetted paws...and there it is: My new Sunday. 

It's a Blog!

Well, after years of negotiation with my sister, we could not agree about starting a business together but finally I saw the light and decided to start our very own culinary blog!:

Getting home

After my non-succesful shopping weekend and the fact that I could not find that beautiful skirt on the internet, I decided that I could go right away after work, get the skirt, take the tramway and go home with a minimum lost of 10 min.
Yet again, my attempt to get that beautiful skirt fails again: Today, besides snowfalling, a big electricity fall-out takes away all my plans. Nothing seems to be working normal, public transportation has officially become a big mess. Now, getting home has just become priority nr.1
I just wanted to buy a skirt...

Weekend shopping

As most people, I work during the week so, if I need to buy anything (be it food, clothes or anything for my house) I MUST go in the weekend.
As much as I try to stay in a good mood, I become soon allergic to all those people: too much people in the street, too much people waiting on the line. There is no way to avoid it.
My intentions in the morning of buying several things needed, usually ends up in coming back home with empty hands.
I just can't help it. I think I'm allergic to crowds.
