Why always Friday?

Appetizer
What does the color dark green make you think of?
Forest, Christmas and Hope

Soup
How many cousins do you have?
Hm, something around 15 maybe?

Salad
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being highest, how honest are you?
I’m pretty honest, I’m probably a 9 or 10. I’m too honest at times which kinda sucks at times. (Example: Tracy and her mom are at the tourist agency to book a flight. They’ve been to the agency a week before already to check out the price. On the day where they book, the employee tells them “The flight will cost you 500 Euro each.” Tracy, as honest and naive she is, replies “Really? Because last week you said it’ll cost us 550 Euro?!?!” While the employee checks the price again Tracy gets a kick in the leg from her mom.)

Main Course
Name something that is truly free.
From the top of my head: the wind

Dessert
Using the letters in the word SPRING, write a sentence.
Ummm… umm….. “Something pretty ridiculous is not good”

Oh, I don’t know what to blog about. I upgraded WordPress and forgot to not overwrite my smilies, and now I’m using the default ones again 🙄 I bought some books last week, really really cheap. Java for 50 Cent and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for €3, which I’m currently reading.

Anybody still interested in my little auction? Then email me.

Have a good start into the first week of April 🙂

Want to?

I’ve read about Amanda doing it and I came to my mind – I want to do it too!

It seems fun, and nice, and I think she and the others enjoy it. I mean, there’s really no reason not to do it. I guess the Lover would like it too. Ok, I’m pretty sure not everybody reading this would do it, they might think it’s awkward and just wouldn’t want to. But I do!

Oh, I can imagine what you guys (who know Snark and Amanda) are thinking now… 🙂

So, I want to send two people a little something 😀 Yes Yes. I just bought a friend some birthday goodies and realized again how much I love to make presents.

And here is what I thought about:

  • Two random people who leave a comment will get a little something from me
  • It will happen through mail

Who can apply?

  • I need to know you in some way, either trough Snark or your site.
  • Meaning, I left at least two comments on your site, we communicated through email or through posts in a thread

What you need to do?

And then?

  • I’ll write your personality on a little paper, put it in a pot and pick two (with my eyes closed)
  • Then I’ll go downtown and get you a little something what I think will fit to your personality
  • It can also be that I won’t buy you anything. If I think that your personality fits perfectly to my little pink pencil, then I’ll just send you that. 🙂

And after that?

  • I’ll send you the little present
  • You might like it, or not. You won’t know what it is until it gets to your place
  • I might send it in April, but maybe first in May.

Don’t expect a lot – shipping here is expensive – but I like this idea and wanted to make this a pilot project. 😉

Want to comment and email me? Yay 😀

Happy Easter!

Wishing you all a happy Easter!

Thanks for all the nice comments on my last post and about my new layout (it it will be published sometime soon is the question 😉 ).

How do you celebrate Easter? Is it something special/big for you? Do you go to church?

How to?

How do I create a nice-looking, spring-looking, colorful and cute layout without it looking too girly/kidly (is that even a word)?

layout

Any ideas?

layout The brown bar to the left was pink at first (see the second image), which made the layout look like a kids-layout even more. I read through some tutorials on how to create the web 2.0 look and that’s what I tried in the green wavy forms and the title.

Are the navigation buttons too close to each other?

Note that the layout isn’t even 1/3 done. The whole footer is missing and so much more. The title was in the green wavy form at first, I thought that looked better.
Any ideas on how I can spice it up a bit though?

The Saturday Seven

Seeing I’m in the mood for blogging but I don’t know what ((well, I could tell you how I cleaned my apartment today)) I’m going to change the Friday Five and turn it into the Saturday Seven.

  • What do you see when you are looking out of the window closest to you?
    I see trees, and the house (or big building) across from me
  • Who was the last person coming into your room?
    Alex, the Lover
  • What is the most predominant colour around you?
    Well, I would have to say that is pink. But also black and grey (monitor, keyboard, printer…) and brown/beige (couch, table, chairs)
  • What is right behind you?
    The door to my hallway
  • What is on today’s calendar sheet?
    Hello Kitty?
  • Do you consider yourself to be a good housekeeper? Why or why not?
    Well… when I’m working my 40-hour-week I tend to neglect cleaning. I come home from work and normally go online right away (ehrm, after working on the PC for 9 hours) or I/we eat or we do sports. After I eat I tend not to wash the dishes. I might start washing after I have a huge pile and no knifes, forks etc left. But in general I think I can be a good housekeeper.
  • Do you believe in aliens?
    Well, I believe that there are other creatures out there and not only us. The universe is so huge, it’s endless, so much is unexplored you can’t even put it in words. Maybe engage with it for a while, check out the Hubble ultra deep field ((an image of a small region where almost all of the 3,000 objects in the image are galaxies. It was exposed 10 days, I think)), it’s amazing and unbelievable. Unbelievable, for me.

Do you believe that we’re not alone in this universe?

Pfft! Hello Kitty Laundry Bag

Ok, first of all: “Thanks Amberlina-Bambina for getting me started with that Pfft!“. Not only do I post that online more and more, but I also go “Pfft” in real life more and more.

So, I have this Hello Kitty Laundry Bag (oh yeah), but I arrive at a decision that it was made for kids only, and not for 26-year-old pseudo Hello Kitty wanna be kids fans again Kitty pink yeeha (did that make sense?) who owns heavy jeans, huge bed linen, a lot of towels etc.

Anyways, it’s falling apart, more and more every day
Bag

Bag

*Sigh* – I really hope it’ll hold for another year. In a year (or so) the Lover and I are going to move together and then it’ll be way too small anyways.

Whilst taking pictures, like my t-shirt?

It says: It’s better to be a sweet duck than a snobby swan 🙂

Oh yeah, I was really disappointed reading the comments regarding my last post. Most of you have heard about the joke already :(. It’s always disappointing when you come with this, to you, great new joke and then most of the people know it already. That’s tough 😉
