This year our 12,5 year wedding anniversary is coming up. Time really flies!

In this January's Quest Magazine there was an article about big women and the love of painters like Rubens for well-covered women. There was also an opportunity to win tickets for the exhibition 'Rubens, Van Dyck & Jordaens. Flemish painters from the Hermitage' in the Hermitage in Amsterdam and I won!!

This past Friday it finally snowed here in the Netherlands. That's a first this winter. Although it causes massive traffic jams and other problems on the roads, I do love snow. The world is so beautiful covered in snow. Luckily we didn't have anywhere to go Friday (except for buying new winter shoes for me and doing groceries), so I could really ( Read more... )

Okay so I've been neglecting LiveJournal. Blogging is just not the thing that comes to mind when I think of something to do. I want to change that in the new year (oh wow, I suddenly do have a new year's resolution, yeeek! LOL). See, I had a super Christmas for once in my life, but sadly I forget to blog it here. My friend Marijke however inspires ( Read more... )

First of all let me tell you that I'm not a good critic at all. I can usually tell you what I like or don't like, but can't give too many intelligent comments on why I like or don't like something. :-D Still I'd like to blog a bit about wines since I discovered something neat.

My husband and I like wines, but we are no connoisseurs and we found ( Read more... )

Yesterday we went to the summer ball Sarabande in Belgium. It was super! We had a really fun time. It was the second time the ball was held, but the atmosphere was much better than the first one. The location, Castle of Poeke, is awesome. That's one castle I'd like to have. :-) The rooms are small, but that gives the ball a cosy feeling, although ( Read more... )

I know, it's nearly weekend again, but we had a fun weekend this past one! On Thursday it was Ascension Day, so the office was closed and it was also closed on Friday. We read on Facebook a while ago that a friend of ours was looking for extra's for a film shoot on Ascension Day, but at first I didn't feel like going. What business did I have at a ( Read more... )

Being ill sucks. I can't remember ever having a 40 degrees Centigrade fever, but now I know what it feels like. I went to work feeling very blah and having a huge cold on Monday. Then before it was lunchtime I decided I wanted to go home and get rest. This didn't work. And indeed: working with a 40 degrees Centigrade fever doesn't work. :-) The ( Read more... )

I've found a new hobby: cycling. It's really relaxing and fun. We've been cycling for about 2 weeks now or so and much to my surprise I really like it. I like it so much that I even do it after work to relax. Yesterday we went to the woods and that was so nice. We passed a look-out so we could see a vast plain with cows, horses and even deer. Later ( Read more... )

Yeah okay, so having a paid account doesn't help me use LJ more than I'd like to. LOL Maybe I should get my ass off Facebook once in a while, but hey: what about the animals on my farm and stuff? :-D Anyway, here's finally another update.

On 29 March I finally had that profile shoot I've been wanting to do for so long. On my business twitter ( Read more... )
