Cat Survival Pack

Banana, one of my best friends celebrated her birthday a few weeks ago, but we were not able to get together with everyone until today.

Banana loves cats as much as I do, so what's a better present than a 'Cat Survival Pack'.

We got her:

• Cat oven gloves
• A kitty washcloth
• Kitty socks
• A cat shopper

For every kitty present I got her a home made toilet roll kitty, so she could choose which present she wanted first.

This was a fun present and she was very happy :-)

The Perks of Living at Home

Handy to live in the backyard of your parents...

• I can do my own laundry, but I can use my mom's washing machine and dryer. 

• When we don't have the time to make our own food, we can just grab a chair and join the dinner table at my parents'. 

• We can walk the dog anytime we want. 

• My mom calls me on my cell before she drops by (thanks for that!).

• When I don't feel like being alone when my boyfriend's not home, I can just walk over to the other side of the garden and I'm surrounded by my family.

Men are Easy

Men are sooooo easy to dress. They come in, say what they want and won't leave without it, because they HATE shopping. I love them, they make my day!

Back in Business

People would call me crazy for this, but during my holiday from my full time job I'm helping out at the shop I worked for when I was a student. 
Portobello is a clothing store for men and I always loved working here! Suits, shirts, sweaters, you name it! I will sell it to you!
After 2,5 years, I'm back! I worked my first day and it feels like I just went on a looong vacation. I have truly missed this! I'm so happy right now, although my feet hurt from a long day of running around for customers.

Merry Christmas!

After a long walk and turkey dinner we had to leave. My boyfriend and I need to go to work tomorrow, so we want to be home at a reasonable hour.
I wish I could have stayed a few days longer, because it's awesome to walk the dog here. Behind the house there's a river and although it reminds me of The Killing somehow, it's soothing in a way. 

Before we left I tried to finish a 1000 piece puzzle from my mom. We have been working on it with four people, but couldn't finish it before we had to leave :-(. Never thought puzzling could be so addictive!
I had a very nice holiday weekend! Thanks mom & dad!

Christmas Eve: Present Time

Present Time!! 
I know Christmas is about family and it is, but it's still fun to give presents and of course receive some. 

I got:

• A sweater from Ted Baker
  (fell in love with this brand, or should I say 'branch' -haha- With all the trees, get it?!)

• A Japanese tea ceremony (still have to pin the date, I'm so excited about this!)
  You should have seen the look on my face when I read the card my boyfriend wrote. I didn't get it... I was confused, because I thought we were going to Japan (the next travel destination on my list!).

• Socks

• And the best thing EVER: a clothing hair remover thingie in the shape of a black cat... Absolutely adorable!
  

Birthday Sissie

Because my boyfriend had to work today, we left for La Wallonie when he got back. We had to arrive in time, because it's my sister's birthday today. I got her a beautiful red scarf from Thailand.
We'll be staying here for two nights, so we're leaving in the evening on Christmas day because we have to work the day after.
