The good life

This morning my alarm went off at 5 a.m. An hour and a half later, I was all dressed up at the airport. After what felt like an eternity, I finally got what I’ve been waiting for, for two whole months now… Duncan is back!!

Spent the afternoon at work, having cake – and am now awaiting two of my great loves in life!

LIFE IS GOOD.

Heat wave

The city has been overcome by some insane heat wave…! Today, when I left work at eight o’clock, it was 26 degrees out, crazy!
Started this hot day by strolling around the Tuileries, with my one and only baby Ella. Moved on to a teensy bit of shopping (I think I am developing an undie-addiction…), lunch by the seine and then picked up of my tennis champ. Great day!

Nothing compared to the amazingness that awaits tomorrow though… at 6.40 a.m I can be found at Charles de Gaulle – Duncan is finally coming back!! As if that wasn’t enough, just a few hours later both my beloved darlings Sophia and Carolina are flying in!!

How amazing can life get???

Proof!

Lovely day in piggy-land

I’m sitting here by myself, with my new dress and yummy chocolates as my only company, and am thinking what a great day this has been! It started with something extremely exciting, that I choose to keep to myself for just a little longer.. until it’s all a bit clearer. Stay tuned!

Somewhere inbetween this secret mission and dancing it up in the bathroom to Bee Gees (baby ella’s new faves, how cute?), this is what my lovely day consisted of:

We cabbed all the way out to Thiais,
to celebrate darling Toby’s 4th birthday!!

With yummy cake – I had to force myself to stop after 4 slices, haha.

Happy piggy in (hold on to your hats…) the sun! It’s finally back!!

Not only Tobes got presents – sweetest Shampa came home with this for little me…!

A lovely mug, filled to the brim with delicious chocolate!
<3

Horror & guns

After a bit of a wild weekend, it’s been a nice and chill start to the week. Hanging out with various kids, catching up on series and so on. Bit of a calm before the storm I guess.. more about that later.

Now – off to champs elysées, for another horror night at the cinema! Cabin in the woods on tonight, will report back later.

Taking a quick peek at Guns induction to the rock n roll hall of fame before running off,
love love love those guys…

Triple birthday!

Last night, after drinks at Amy’s, we all gathered at Yellow mad monkey to celebrate not a single – not a double – but a triple birthday! Congrats to Patrick, Angela and Nathalie!
I usually don’t go out around that area, and I must say it was fun with a bit of change of scenery. Continued on to Some girls, which is a tiny bar with great music. I mean, not too many places happily oblige when I ask for (demand?) AC/DC. Hehe.
Finished the night at my neighbourhood bar (oops), ended up getting to bed around 10 a.m. (oops again), feels like old times! Now, shopping for pizza…

Happy sunday lovers!

Me and darling Amy, who shares my amazing taste in music <3

Birthday boy! Wearing his present, loved it!

Birthday girl #1 (no pic of birthday girl #2, sorry Nat!) – darling Angela!

Fancy boys!

Found a fellow rock fan at the neighbourhood bar, not pictured here –
but this is his girlfriend, who bought him tickets for Metallica for his birthday!
How great is she??

Thanks to this friendly guy, one can dance until 10 a.m if so needed.
We ended up with some sort of mélange between Metallica and BeeGees, haha.

All in all – a pretty great night!

Police boat – check!

On thursday after work, I got a call from dear Rosy. We decided to go out for a beer and quick catch up. “Let’s go somewhere civilized, where it’s not acceptable to fall over tables etc.“. Haha.
To make a long story short – I decided to go swimming (very much to the dislike of my company), and ended up being picked up by a police boat. Very exciting for me, since it’s been on my to do-list for ages now! Apparently you’re supposed to get a BIG fine if you get caught, but all I got were smiles and a nice warm blanket, hehe.
They did have to take me to the hospital, where the not so smily nurse strongly questioned my mental health, oops. They finally let me go home at around 10 am, where after I got lost in the huge hospital (wandered around saying “je veux sortir” until someone helped me, haha) and continued on to fall asleep on the metro, waking up at the end of the line. Boo.

Anyway, after the eventful night a dinner out with the girls seemed to be the perfect thing to do. Le Relais Gascon, then home around midnight. Phew.

Jet black

Not sure the pics I’ve posted lately gives justice to just how jet black my hair now is. I love it!
Now about to drag myself to the library before work, some new books always seem to cheer me up a bit. And my pretty new bag, stuffed full of tissues… Laters lovers x

Cement

Today was supposed to be a big exciting day for me. Instead I woke up with blocked nostrils and a head that feels like a block of cement. Boo.

Just one of those days.

02.05.12

This morning, for some reason, I felt a bit down. Wasn’t really sure why either, which always makes it trickier to cure. A cute text from the other side of the world helped a bit… but apparently not enough to resist some shopping, with the excuse of cheering myself up. Oops. Had a “meeting” (I feel silly calling it that, but I guess it is in fact what people are referring to when they use the word. Hm.) at the swedish institute – which dangerously enough is located au milieu of the marais.

Tomorrow the sun better peek out – I have a big day and am planning to wear le new dress!

Pic from a happier day! Puss!

 

Morning w/ Slash

If anyone can get me out of bed at 8 a.m (except for my little prince that is), it’s Slash. For some reason (that no one is sharing, hello? Clarify me!) he is in Sweden, and a guest in the studio of my favourite radio station.
Perfect way to start a day!

Sad news is that the sun seems to have hidden behind big, gray clouds again. Boo.
Anyway, back to Mr Hudson, laters lovers!

Mornin’ from a tired piggie…
