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

I haven’t been blogging for days now, but as work, life and getting ill again (the third time in as many weeks!!) took over, there was little energy left. I’ve come down with something of a stomach bug (I suspect something similar Sebastian just came out of). So once again, I’m in bed working. I [...]

It’s been a long and cumbersome road to the launch of OnlineSalsa.com, but it’s been definitely worth it. With a limited budget, and only spare time on our hands to manage the project, we are now close to the official launch. It’s great to see the site coming together, and the team to work incredibly [...]

Finally done with work for the evening! I’m now on the couch, relaxing, watching Criminal Minds and eating low calorie ice lollies….*bliss*. Sebastian is finally better having been ill for almost a week now. Au contraire Reinout is in bed with with what seems to be the first symptoms of a(nother) flu. It’s been a [...]

Good meeting in Amsterdam, followed by wine and snacks at Viqh’s winebar. I’m now in bed browsing the site theoutnet.com. Although yesterday’s fashion, there are loads of bargains to be made for excellent prices on this online outlet store! Like this stunning dress from Marchesa discounted 65% to a mere EUR 2819;-. Or how about [...]

Sometime, on the latter half of the day, Reinout sent me a message on skype: “wine tonight at winebar, you and me?” I didn’t have think twice. After a day that felt like the day from hell (you know the days when  the Gods seem to conspire against you, when the last bit of energy [...]

Last night I had a bizarre encounter in a private chat on Facebook. Time was approaching midnight. As I was pretty tired, I occupied myself with googling some people in my immediate network, most notably my husband. To my pleasant surprise (and his horror) my blog comes up on top position on his name. At [...]

Just finished off work, after a long day doing a million thing inbetween preparing a contract template. Although I have no legal background, I’ve written so many contracts in the last years that I’ve become a bit of an expert on the subject. Still it’s boring as hell and only 4 cups of coffee could [...]

Since the operation, I had my first good night sleep. The pain is reduced to a dull muscle ache, and although I can’t lift anything heave or do any sports for a few more weeks, I’m back to being mobile again. Needless to say, there were quite a few eyebrows being raised after my announcement. [...]

The weather is great (finally spring is coming!!) and I feel like going for a run. In fact I want to kickstart my work-out regime this spring, doing a lot of running and targeted training for thighs, stomach and butt. Can’t do any physical activities though for another 5 weeks though In the meantime I [...]

Reinout just sent me upstairs under the pretext that I needed some sleep. In fact it’s his way of saying “Woman, I need some time alone to listen to my music.” He’s on a high….I’m on a…I don’t know what really…the codein pills I have been prescribed is making me so tired and the days [...]
