wash, dry, fold

this year i’ve started acting upon my new year resolutions in advance.

they’re not really new year resolutions, they’re just regular resolutions which I made close to the new year.

for the past week all i did was repress my anger, fake smiles, tidy the house and cook.

i’ve had zero time for blogging, tweeting, bleeping, social networking, talking to friends or watching television. (but i did have a  great night out to 223).

the new behavioral regime made james, noah and uri very happy and seeing them happy made me happy too, thus i didn’t have to fake smiles anymore (starting to get it?)

i’m embarking on a new way!

here are simple directions for anyone who wants to join me:

repression and denial all day long until 21:00, after which relieff in ways of screaming, crying or banging the head against the wall.

i love this little dust wuppie which Jantien and Hester from dutch design studio Tas-ka found clogging their vacuum cleaner.

they said a wuppie is some kind of small puppet.

met riki gal today.

she said noah was adorable.

i was thinking that dogs do in fact like wearing bandannas.

i thought it was real, but some people are saying it’s a paint job.

if that’s true, assume i posted this photo as an act of protest.

fuck you, penguin is a very funny blog.

i wonder who’s behind it.

three people told me this week that i look like i’ve lost some weight.

if three people tell me that, it must be true.

so i weighed myself today and i saw that i gained 2 kg’s.

what was that good for?!

we went on a picnic today. picnics are fun, though i am not really fond of outdoor activities. especially when they involve nature.

once i even wrote a piece about this called OUTDOORS and cited it in front of a crowd of 20 people in a local cafe. it became an instant hit.

the picnic was nice and short. dianne and asher brought jahnun and salads and we brought tea and strawberries. as soon as we finished the food it started to rain and we went home.

today james let me sleep late, so we didn’t go out for coffee even though it’s friday.

we went to pick up noah from the kindergarten together and passed through the supermarket on our way home. i told noah in advance i am not going to buy him anything so when i denied him some toxic juice, he started kicking at screaming. i still didn’t get it for him. (i did get some natural healthy juice instead)

when we got home, i tried to fight with james but he wouldn’t. my parents and brother came over for lunch, which was nice, if you disregard the screeming teething baby. (they brought the food so i don’t have to cook)

after everyone left i helped noah with his worksheets. (i don’t make him study. i swear he likes it!)

the broccoli pie i made for dinner was forgotten there, but surprisingly still is edible (but not really tasty). the caulliflower patties i made for noah came out really disgusting so they went streight to the bin. as a result, noah had a really strange dinner consisting of cold meats, pomela and strawberry yoghurt.

the day ended with the movie 1408, which wasn’t that good, but i didn’t expect much so i didn’t mind. we had cable tv for a few days now and i really enjoy the variety. (but i mostly enjoy conan)

that’s the end of the post i just forced my self to write so my blog doesn’t just disappear because i never have time for it anymore.

good night.

p.s. the photo is of a non burnt broccoli pie which came out very tasty.
