New Season

Yes! 
I'm having a busy week! All my favourite series' new seasons started this week.

I am watching the following shows, the ones that you probably all know... If you don't, start watching them! They're great!

New Girl 
One of my top favourites! So funny, every time! When I feel a bit down, I just watch an episode with Jess. 

Grey's Anatomy
What's not to like?
Drama everywhere, every time.
Makes me cry, every time! 
Seriously? Seriously!

Castle
Exciting and funny at the same time. I love it!

The Mentalist
Patrick still hasn't found Red John! Thrilling!
Last season was a little boring though. Hope they will stir it up a little...

Some other shows I love(d) to watch:

• Alcatraz
  Cancelled for the second season. Pitty! I would like to know what happens next!
• Pan Am
  Totally retro!
• Lost
  Many people found it boring after one season, but I kept watching. The climax was a bit obvious maybe, but my patience was worth it!
• Code 37
  A Belgian show. It's about a cop who's mom was raped and killed when she was a child. Obviously, she will start an investigation to find her mom's killer. Season 3 is starting now. Sounds like a 'Castle'-story, but it's far from one! This show is more rough and Belgian-like...
• Band of Brothers
  One to watch! Very emotional, especially when your grandparents told you lots of stories about the war. When you watch it, it's like you're in the middle of it.
• Modern Family
  How could I forget! It's like looking in a mirror with the whole family.

And many, many more!

Have fun watching!

One Step Closer

Today, one of my biggest dreams came true. Not completely, but half of it.. 

I touched a puma cub today! I only pet the animal, I didn't hold it or anything, but it's one step closer to fulfil my dream to cuddle a big cat. Thailand, just 5 months away from the tigers!

DIL

Hi folks,

Every Wednesday, I go to my fashion evening classes. I'm learning how to sew my own clothes, how to repair accidents, ...

At the beginning I felt like a real fashion designer. I was going to make the coolest outfits! 
I started out with a high waist skirt and was so disappointed afterwards! My skirt was perfectly sewed, but I thought it looked awful on me (I have fatty knees)!

My first year I made some things that were quite OK, to start out, learning the tricks. 

My second year was terrible! Because I moved to another town, it was easier to also switch schools. How I hate myself for doing that! That year I learned absolutely nothing. Because of the increased popularity of DIY, the classes became bigger and so did the waiting time! Once I had to wait for my teacher for over an hour, until she was done with helping another student! That year, I made two awful cowboy shirts, a lace detailed T-shirt, two trousers and a jumpsuit. All pieces I don't wear, because they don't fit well. It's easy to choose a pattern from a magazine like Burda, but it always has to be adjusted to your size and shape. Apparently something where my teacher is not good at. It cost me a lot of money if you look at it now!

I started my third year a few weeks ago. Again, our class grew bigger. There are not enough desks if everyone is present, waiting time is still increasing. 
However, my skills are improving. I'm trying to sew as much as I can on my own if I have to wait too long. 
I'm now making a waistcoat for myself to wear with a T-shirt, and I am quite satisfied about how it's evolving. I hope it will turn out alright, so I can finally wear my own designs.

Last Day of Vacation

Haaa, Sundays... Still in bed, watching New Girl.
Love this series! I actually look a lot like Jess. I love singing my sentences and I cannot pronounce words that have to do with seeechs (s*x). People think I'm weird sometimes, but I don't mind. I am me the way I am :-) and that's fine by me and Jess.



Also check out Zooey's lady-website, 'Hello Giggles'! 
I recently discovered this website and it puts a smile on my face every time.

I'm crawling out of bed now.
Peace out!

Fresh Catch

Hi there,

I'm enjoying my leave of work this week! 
Staying at home with the kitty, watching movies, sleep 'till noon, ... What a life! But not for long... Monday, it's back to my desk!

My week was very calm. We were like a boring old couple. You will think this for sure if you see my newest catch! 
My parents-in-law gave me a crockery set, what was once from their grandparents. Only used a couple of times! Looks like brand new! 
A porcelain set with roses and as finishing touch, golden borders and some gold ornaments.
Doesn't my new set look ADORABLE?
Now I will love my tea-time even more!

Crazy Days at Work

I worked my ass off at work these few weeks! I even worked for 11 hours straight last Thursday.
Still three days left of heavy lifting and then, FINALLY, a well-deserved break!
This is my first job. I began working here right after school, so I didn’t have the time to take some leave for over a year! Now my time has come and I am really looking forward to lying in bed all morning, playing with the kitty, going shopping,... Hakuna Matata!

Not going abroad, you ask? Well, not this time. My boyfriend had a knee surgery a few weeks ago and is still not fully recovered. He cannot make long walks or stand up straight for a long period of time, so we have decided to stay home with the kitty cat this time. But, as I told you in my blog last week, we have Thailand to look forward to! We will plan our trip more concrete during our little week of ‘vacation’.  

Back to my pile of work!
