Fracas Noir || Susanne Waldau - te Brake I swear to tell the truth as I know it…

It was a pleasant surprise to get the blog up and running last night. With my own unique design (designed by Unique Blog Designs - thank you guys!), I’m very happy with the result. Still have to change some small things here and there, but the essence is there. Happy to hear from you what [...]

Music has such an uplifting effect on your spirit. I just have to listen to music when I work, and especially when I write. What started off as a good sound block to our noisy office has become an absolute must to work life. In fact I suffer from abstinence if I ever forget my [...]

My whole daily rythm is completely thrown into chaos. I don’t get in bed until late, and when I do I wake up several times during the night. I have strange dreams, such as last night I dreamt I was in an East European car of some sort driven by none other than our [...]

Hormones are flying all over the place. It’s like everyone in our household are battling their own wars. In fact we all are in our own unique ways. But it’s not the stress you need before Christmas. Not at all as a matter of fact. On a personal level, I’m going through some major changes, [...]

I came across some pictures of the latest Louis Vuitton campaign with Madonna. It’s dark, edgy yet sophisticated. The closest I can come to think of is 1940’s Paris meets Cabaret. Just my kind of thing. I’m stuck in a time warp. I want to be transported to the smokey salons of Paris [...]

It’s been an incredibly uneventful day. Waking up at 11 (bliss), cheese cake for lunch (indulgence), shopping in town (exercise), in other words all the ingrediences for a perfect day.

It takes less that 2 minutes after I wake up, when I hear the word “please”. It only means one thing, I better get up really fast from bed or my beloved will drop a stink bomb worse that Saddam’s mustered gas (to quote Achmed the Dead Terrorist). It’s become a weekendly tradition by now. [...]

There are many ways you can be judged as a good versus bad mum. The standard of measure is often related to how much time and effort you put into your children’s development, school and wellfare. I think I do pretty well on those accounts. But if you want to be concidered an [...]

Perhaps it was the sign from this morning, but my day turned out really good. For the first time in days I had a flow to work. As I’ve finalised a website brief I have now diverted my attention to its content. Perhaps not the most exciting work in the world, but with two weeks [...]

We’ve all heard of the signs of the Madonna in the window, and Jesus in the cheese cake. Well I didn’t have quite such a religious experience when I woke up this morning., but still rather unordinary to make some justice for a blog entry. As I was applying my make-up I notice an almost [...]
