Bits of my new home


Bits of my new home, originally uploaded by paper-flower-girl.


What a grey and rainy monday it is! I'm happy I don't need to go outside much today.

I just wanted to let you see a sneak peek of my new home. You can see a bit of the bedroom in the photo above.
I will show you more as we make progress getting everything in order!
Yesterday we went out to buy a new fridge and oven. Slowly but steady we are getting things together.

I really love the new place, and haven't missed our old house for one second since we moved out!

I have my first exam of six in five days. So I probably won't be writing much until then. Please forgive me!

Child's play


Child's play, originally uploaded by paper-flower-girl.

On the floor of my new bedroom. Relics from my childhood.

Moving is always a time of finding things you had long forgotten about. These I hadn't seen foor years. I used to play 'kitchenette' with them when I was a kid.
It made me smile to see them again after so long!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend!

-----------------------------------------------------

Today I can't seem to get started. It's already 2.30 pm and I'm nowhere.

I can't decide what to do first:
- write a paper for university
- take a bath
- read an article
- polish my nails
- put on clothes (no, i'm not naked! yes, I'm still in my nightdress)

Tomorrow will be a day of IKEA shopping.
We need:
- a new bed
- a magnet board
- a trashcan
- a mirror
and some other things for the new house.

I'm looking forward to it!

Have a lovely friday all and enjoy your weekend!

Two months later - a new home


, originally uploaded by apfelbaum.

There is absolutely no excuse why I haven't been here for the dreadfull period of two whole months. Of course I have been doing things.

"Things" ~ English / "Dingen" ~ Dutch / "Sachen" ~ German

Packing boxes
Finishing my Bachelor thesis
Moving boxes
Travelling to Sweden (4 days)
Unpacking boxes
Travelling to Germany (7 days)
Packing more boxes
Cleaning the new and the old house
Moving

"Moving" ~ English / "Verhuizen" ~ Dutch / "Umziehen" ~ German

I painted my room robinsegg-blue, and I definatly love it. It's a small attic room. It feels so 19th century. I'm happy.

Since the move I feel much less stressed about everything. About university, about working about pretty much everything. About living my life as it is.

And, on the topic of losing weight: I lost 8 pounds so far, and officially I am no longer overweight! I went shopping last weekend and I could even buy one size smaller!

Now, let's try to cook dinner.

See you later my friends! Thank you infinatly for standing by me on this blog. You are all darlings!
