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

Probably one of the “warmer” days yesterday before the arctic cold will descend on us, we decided to go for a bike ride and get some ice-cream. I had little ice cakes and Sebastian was enjoying his rum-raisin and pistachio ice. Well pictures speak tons more than words…

I’m at the neurolog discussing the medication I can get to my probably MS but still to be verified illness. The doctor suggests an anti-depressant. I immediately facilitate the information I am most likely depressed. Reinout confirms this saying “the prospect of her ending up in a wheelchair is a bit daunting”. I cut him [...]

…WTF Happened? Well, Reinout came home. I was spying on him from the sitting room as he was searching for his wallet before leaving the cab. As he made his way to the door, I hid in a corner in the study. Just as he passed me I came out with a boohoo. It scared [...]

I’m waiting for the workers to come and do the final reparations of our house. A few leaks here and there, and making sure those hideous stains on the walls will be but a memory. The phone keeps beeping for an SMS, forcing me out of bed just after eight. Ah well, I should be [...]

The last weeks were not exactly a breeze, and I wasn’t really thrilled going to any wedding party this weekend. But my husband wanted a change of mind, so reluctantly I got my act together. I used the latter half of Friday getting pampered with a manicure, a predicure and facial. After this I did [...]

It’s been a slow, quiet Sunday. Family breakfast, followed by administration, laundry and then cinema, watching the Social Network with Victoria. Great film and a must see for anyone marginally interested in social media Sebas goes oh oh! Breakfast Victoria looks gorgeous! In the queue for the obligatory popcorn. Tory Burch jacket and Gucci bag [...]

It’s 11 o’clock and with the extra hour I have managed to sleep for nearly 12. What a feat. This hasn’t happened since our pre-Sebastian days. In fact the little man woke up sometime during the morning, but I gave him a bottle and went back to sleep – with a pillow over my head. [...]

On the couch with Cecile and Victoria watching Without a Trace. Perfect quiet Saturday evening after a day spent lunching and shopping with the kids.

Sometimes life can be full of small, yet happy surprises. Gift wrapped in something as plain and common as a facebook status update. Yet, they manage to put a smile on your face and makes all the concerns and worries go away, obliterated by a warmth and comforting feeling. Pictures of a good friend of [...]

It’s been admittedly weeks since my last post. Reason? The feeling of exhaustion. So I’ve cut down on a number of things…shopping, cooking, groceries….and blogging. I now wake up an hour later (sometimes two), often lingering in bed until 10 am where I do my work. I’m battling with my consciousness that tells me to [...]
