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

Yesterday I got some great finds on sale. A sheer blouse from D&G, black patent leather pumps from Hugo Boss and a green silk dress from Milly. The dress I am going to wear tomorrow for Club Fiera’s Gala Salsa Party. With that a pair of beautiful dance shoes I got from Alina, from Alista [...]

When I saw you there on the street, I realized how much I love you. My heart took a leap and for a moment it was like it was only the two of us. It was one of those defining moments when I knew why I want to spend the rest of my life with [...]

Half an hour until next meeting and a window of opportunity presents for a blog post. Today is one of those good days, when the action list is diminishing in rapid succession and I’m down to (you won’t believe it) 6 emails in my inbox. Tjoohoo! Life is good! I’m so happy about something else [...]

I’m rummaging my bag for something to blow my nose with. Anything to blow my nose with. It’s so bad that when I find a pantyliner I contemplate for a moment to use it, I scan my fellow train riders. They appear to be into their Metro newspapers and I just need one opportunity to [...]

Yesterday was Sinterklaas, a tradition I never really got the hang of conflicting with my beloved Christmas. In previous years we had been giving Victoria some presents in the morning of the 5th, in the spirit of the English Father Christmas. It was not until I met Reinout I realised how wrong I had been.

Yesterday was time for a long awaited dinner party. The whole planning started off as two separate dinner parties but as people couldn’t make it got rescheduled, and eventually I got so fed up I fused them together in the hope some old friends would reunite over wine and sushi. I had a feeling something [...]

Last night, as Reinout came home, I was just wrapping up my dinner, stressed as in half an hour I had my appointment with my hairdresser. Reinout asked me why I was so stressed. I looked at him with an almost (I imagine) blank face. I had just made dinner, emptied the laundry and put [...]

Midnight….my day is finally coming to an end. Apart from a somewhat longer sleep (woke up at 8.30), it’s been full on. One meeting, and one cancelled. Completed a marketing plan…it’s now out the door. Laundry has been going on the whole day, the final wash being ready in some 20 minutes. Luckily there was [...]

From being really inspired to write, I’ve gone to a complete writer’s block. Perhaps not so strange as I’m in bed with ear pain, throat pain, muscle pain and a slight fever. Symptoms of a flu? Or just a nasty cold taking it’s grip over my sinuses? Whatever the case, I’ve been pretty much bedridden [...]

When life is speeding by, overtaking my own inner, core pace, I find little delight in writing. Mundane events holds no inspiration, but thoughts and motivations to those actions do. Yet, I need to find precious time to read, breath, travel my mind in search of the obscure, the twisted, the raw… The last weeks [...]
