Me after dinnerMonday, October 22, 2007
On stage
Had a few busy weeks. No wedding photos yet, I promise I'll tell the rest of the wedding story when I can post some photos. Now it feels like it was ages ago I got married but I still get those head-tilted smiles and "oh are you newly wed" My ususal answer is: Uuuuhmm yeah, I guess
Well, I never said I was romantic...
Now I have started the next big project: the new kitchen. We had one architect coming over and give us an offer. She is really nice and funny and has good taste (the same as me of course). I could go with her offer only because I like her. The price is a bit steep but if all goes as planned my parents will sell the second house (a long story) and sis and me will come into some serious money :) Her price would be somewhere in the region of 30. 000 euros - a sh*t load of money but it'll look exactly like I like it.
Another one is coming next week, a guy. He actually sounded quite hot on the phone...
Had a great time this weekend. Friday I was working and spent the entire evening watching CSI - loves it!
Saturday kept watching CSI until Mr S and me met up with sis for some bowling. I did fairly well, came in 3rd... Well it wasn't that good since we were just the three of us but I had fun.
Afterwards we met up with some other friends for some food. They had gone to a pub in Soder, the part of town I like the least. The pub was really crappy but the food was really good.
Then we went onto another place. The others left for home and Mr S and me went to Riche for one last drink. Stopped by McD for some food and then home.
Sunday me and mum went to see Peter Joback. He is really good. Mum gave us tickets for Christmas but Mr S didn't really want to go. He thinks I should spend more time with my mother, propably a good thought but I really rather not.
It's ok for an evening but not more. I notice myself slowly turn into a grumpy teenager, not her fault but it's better for my peace of mind, and hers too I think, that I don't spend so much time with her.
The new fridge has arrived - looks very nice. Every finger print shows on it. A dream for the CSI team if they would come here :)
Tomorrow it's back to work again!
Take care
Love/E

From Ms to Mrs
Came back from Lisbon to a not so nice surprise: the fridge was broken. Imagine milk, ham, cheese (a few French ones that were already smelly), fruit and vegetables lying in about + 20 celcius for 3 days...
So I spent the weekend listening to my husbands bitching about having a cold and looking for a new fridge and freezer. We finally found one that we both like. I wanted one from Gorenje with 26.000 Swarowski Crystals on it but Mr S, being the resonable person he is decided to gofor a classic steel from Siemens.
Last week we were in Lisbon. Or I was in Lisbon and Mr S was working.We stayed at
The Westin quite far from Lisbon so I took the bus in to town every day. It was really nice and warm, apparently warmer than usual which was nice. I did some shopping and had some really nice food. Mr S was mostly working but we got to spend one night together having dinner.
The actual wedding was really nice.
Friday night I did the last girl stuff (facial, nails and hair). Saturday we had brunch with N (a friend who was staying at our place) and the kids A&M. I left to have my make up done at MAC and afterwards we met up at the hotel to change.
Off to the wedding place where A&M, sis and toast madame C already where waiting for us.
The photographer arrived had we spent about half an hour with him taking pictures. They should be ready in about 2 weeks.
All the guests arrived and had their cosmopolitans and a small snack to eat.
For the ceremony we had chosen (or I chose) Vangelis - Conquest of Paradise so that song played as all the guests entered the museum for the ceremony.
We had chosen the "longer" civil ceremony and that takes about 7 mins :)
A few words, the "I do" and we are husband and wife!
Afterwards we had a group picture taken, we will use that for all the "Thank you"-card we will send out.
Then the dinner started - the food was great and people really enjoyed themselves. The were a few speeches, all my friends who I travel with made a really funny thing about "The Fist of Glory" - it's a long story but it was invented in Budapest ;)
Mr S and me stayed until 1 in the morning and then we went back to the hotel and I fell asleep ;)
My husband wasn't impressed....
The rest of the story will come as the pictures come :)
Take care

A little prayer
I followed the news this last week and the actions in Burma. What is wrong with the world we live in???
The latest unconfirmed news says that more than 40 people have been murdered and a lot more have disappeared. So sad!!
On a more personal level: I did something with my neck and back so I wasn't really able to move. Went by my old trainer for a massage on Saturday and it helped a bit, am going back there later today.
Had my make up done on Saturday, picked a fierce look from MAC so this will be my wedding look :) And it works very well. What is not working so well is my neck so please God if you're listening? Woman to woman you know that a grey neck supportcollar just won't go with my outfit, ok?!?
Apart from that: we've got the booze, the music, the clothes and most importanlty the fierce guests :)
Take care
