no matter how much i love you, you will always love me more

the babies birthday was fabulous! they turned 2 in style and have been acting out the terrible twos almost by the book since.

b was screaming for me to the point where I nearly didn't leave the house this afternoon. but in the end I got out and gerritt and i took our bikes to scharbeutz and cycled to pelzerhaken and then back. it was...hard work, but once i had it into my head that i had to fight the burn, it was ok and i made it in one piece.

the i rollerbladed to the post box, which is another little thing im working on, also because i imagine that when you can rollerbladewell, you can probably ice skate better than you could before?

so that was a huge fail, you'll be lucky if you get an update once a week ;) freyja left this evening, which was sad, but tommorow is the babies 2nd birthday, which is very exciting! and i found this quote when looking for something to write in a book for M

Love is patient; love is kind
and envies no one.
Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
never selfish, not quick to take offense.
There is nothing love cannot face;
there is no limit to its faith,
its hope, and endurance.
In a word, there are three things
that last forever: faith, hope, and love;
but the greatest of them all is love.”

I also think there is a mouse in my room, and am not entirely sure what to do about it apart from try to ignore it and go to sleep, on the basis that my laptop and its charger stay in my bed so they can't chewed through..

Time is running away, I will try and update this everyday for a week to try and get things back on track. Freyja has arrived safely, and passed out in her bed having been awake now for 20 hours straight, and having not stopped even to sit down for 5 minutes. Bless her little cotton socks. We went to the beach bar this evening, it was lovely, except it rained, so really it wasn't lovely at all.

N had surgery today to fix his hernia, which went well, he is staying in the hospital this evening, but should be home tommorow at about lunchtime.

Not made any plans for the weekend yet, they are weather dependant. Sadly the temperature has dropped significantly since yesterday, but nearly 20 degrees :P It's back to jeans and hoodies. I stood on a wasp today, not very intelligent.

I'm now going to indulge myself in some trashy magazine reading!

getting slow

so my blogging has slowed down dramatically recently. mainly becuase i just have no energy to update it. the last few days i have been much happier, but im still lacking some motivation. i should have alot to say, but i am struggling even to write back to people that message me so...

calling all angels

long time no update, and i wonder why my post count isn't going up as quickly as i like.

i set my alarm clock this morning for 6.30, to see if i would actually wake up, i did. now i cant sleep, and the alternatives are to clean my apartment, or go rollerblading. i think going rollerblading would be the best...on friday we are having a party, so i have to bake lots and lots of things today. so julie told me to use my judgement as to when to come down. i think 8am is a reasonable time....

finally there has been some rain, which means some let-up in the undeniably fabulous unbearable heat. last night i swam in the north sea for the first time, it was beautiful. normally here we go to the east coast, which is the baltic sea, and being a sea, there is alot less salt in the water, and no tides, so it was kind of nice to get salty water in my hair and see the tide go out.

today i am small. and lost and alone. and feeling sorry for myself, incase you hadn't noticed...

left foot = bee sting

right root = piece of glass

head = exploding

i must have done something at some point to upset someone all powerful...

today i deleted nearly every single email i ever received, there was over 1000. i've also started to have a clear out, purchased some $3 rollerblades, and am trying to cut down on dairy products. i think this week is going to be a great week :) the weather is AMAZING, yesterday the highest I saw was 38.8 degrees, and garrett's here, and the dragon boat race is on Saturday, and then soon Freyja is coming to stay, it's all very, very exciting!

so today i stepped on a plate (it broke), found creepy crawlies in my room, cut chunks out of my finger, drove the wrong way down a road...erm.....so yea. no comment.
