MISC….

Hmmm… it’s been a while since the police party 2.0 and I guess I’m not really in the mood to write about it here… but IT WAS A LOT OF FUN! And apparently a concept new girls easily adjust to (concept being: girls night out, drinks and “men in uniforms”, simple and fun) – I was the only participant from the first night, and the girls picked it up right away!! Guess Madonna, Cosmopolitans, Sushi and party-crazed girls are the perfect ingredients for a night out…
As you can probably read from my list of good things, I meet one of those great dancers – a total stranger – but a connection was made and we had fun for a while (his friends dragged him of way to soon!), but I got to dance and sing my heart out (no voice to speak of the next day…)

It’s bee a while since I’ve updated my blog… I don’t know why, maybe the fact that GulBil had to go to the Shop (EXPENSIVE love affair…!) and that I’ve been busy getting this research assistant job (fingers crossed) and… well spending a lot of time with this guy I’ve meet…

Tonight I’ve invited my parents for dinner – roast lamb (in the oven as I write this) and hopefully my father will enjoy the food, even if it is spicy, and they’ll behave and not be at each others throats all night ;o) Grumpy old parents! They behaved when I visited them for lunch today, and I invited them on impulse – its been a long time since I’ve made them dinner. And I have been working a home today, doing a bit of cleaning and drinking beer in the sun at my neighbour’s terrace, quite nice…

Yesterday Pernelle and I went to see “Monster” – thought provoking! Actually we shouldn’t have gone to the movies because it seen like ages since I’ve last seen her and I really missed talking to her. But I enjoyed her company, and hope I’ll see her soon!

Hmmm, something’s starting to smell really nice, I better go check on that lamb…

5 THINGS THAT MAKES MY LIFE BETTER:
· GulBil (my car) – in a word (as if one word can cover this love story): mobility
· Strangers you meet in the night who loves to dance, are good at it and doesn’t misunderstand the “connection” and try to score - please just keep sending them my way
· My titanium Maui Jim sunglasses – perfect for driving and the first pair of sunglasses I can keep in my hair AND GET OUT AGAIN without too much trouble
· My laptop – has changed the way I work at home…and the use of my sofa
· Pop music –makes me happy

The list isn’t prioritised and I’ll probably write something else if I had to do it again tomorrow…

I also have to tell you about our girls night out – police party 2.0 – but… you’ll just have to wait another day or two, I’m still to busy giggling ;o)

EASTER BREAK??

Whats new?

Well, I worked all through the Easter break – I had to finish a paper and I had a HARD time getting started on in, but actually it wasn’t that bad once I got started. And with great help from a good friend I’m not too embarrassed to send it of.

Ok, maybe it wasn’t all work… My brother celebrated his birthday on Sunday and got a birthday present from his sisters and mother that he really loved… not! I hope he will in time, but maybe this will teach him to give us some more realistic wishes next time – then we’ll try to give him something he actually wants ;o) “Get a bank loan” he said, brat!
And I’ve spend a lot of hours with this little girl in TOTALLY IN LOVE with! I anyone makes me happy these days it’s her! Being an aunt is just the greatest thing in the world!

Yesterday I went to the movies with 2 good friends, we saw Mona Lisa Smile, and Jam said that it was a girl-movie – I really liked it, so I guess he was right. After the movie we went to Louise’s apartment for coffee, its right in the centre of the city, cool! She such a city chick that girl! I guess it will be at cool place to start our “girls night out” next weekend!! ;o)

By the way (I know someone in Holland will appreciate this) I’ve also painted my living room walls bright white this Easter. About time too… The good thing was that I did it while listening to audio books – The 5th Dicipline by Peter Senge – really good – gave me the inspiration I needed to get started on that (damn) paper. And Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy – and this book… I don’t know, I guess there’s just too much word juggling and I don’t think it’s al that funny… I guess I think the author is trying too hard, and that’s a bit boring to me. Try to be less explicit, please! I’m only half way through and I don’t even know if I’ll ever finish it, but at least I know what all the fuss was about… not me, too damn boring!

By the way, I can recommend the online audio bookstore audible.com!

Now I’ll go have coffee with Louise...
