Fracas Noir – Susanne Waldau – te Brake ~ for better or worse

Whenever Reinout and I have a discussion that involves a point he is trying to make, he manages to squeeze in a certain line; “Now that’s something you should blog about.” It’s often revolves around certain character flaws of mine, which he is trying to point out. Or at least that is how I see [...]

I am angry. In fact I just want to be left alone. Not bothered by anyone. I’m sitting downstairs with the intention of doing some work. It’s quiet, with the exception of Sebastian’s snoring. Just moments ago things were not so quiet. Victoria’s special assignment ends up in the pond. She has a presentation next [...]

I had a bit of an involuntary blog stop. But it was necessary to re-prioritize. The whole week has been completely dedicated to the launch of OnlineSalsa.com and now the moment has finally arrived. The site IS live!!! It’s a fantastic feeling; after months of hard work with a brilliant team, that made it so [...]

This is officially my last week of dieting. This would be the week I would reach my target weight of 52kg’s, my pre-pregnancy weight. It’s been a major goal for me since February. To loose almost 20 kg’s in less than 3 months. With a strict diet from Monday to Thursday (see previous post) and [...]

I’ve started reading again. It’s been months since I read a book from cover to cover. In fact I was half way through a book called the Bad Girl when Sebastian was born. But if I ever quit a book, I never resume reading it again. NEVER! And thus the Bad Girl shall wither away [...]

Queensday didn’t turn out as expected for most of the Dutch population. Instead we were bombarded with images of a botched up attempt to assassinate the royal family. Not since the assassination of Prince Willem the Silent in 1584, had the House of Orange been so close to annihilation. In those days, the perpetrator, Balthasar [...]
