Where did the weekend go?

Posted by: fracas on August 2 @ 9:45 am

I’m sitting here with my agenda planning the week ahead. It’s an exciting week with several meetings regading a project close to my heart. Last night, in anticipation of the next coming days, I cleaned out my inbox (*relief*), completed my administation (well overdue) and did the laundry in preparation for the cleaners coming over [...]

34 or 35? Birthday strikes!

Posted by: fracas on July 26 @ 10:28 am

As of today, I am 35! We’ll strictly speaking 34, but since the age of 20 when I really needed to add some numbers to my meager age, I’ve been in a habit of adding an extra year. It works fine, also in later years. When I say I’m 34 (and in this case 35) [...]

A little St Tropez in Haarlem

Dinner at Popokatepetl. I have fajitas, W goes for a burrito. Time passes quickly and at a certain point, rain and heavy thunder errupts. We move inside to continue our female rendez vous.

Same taste in Men?

Posted by: fracas on July 10 @ 4:41 pm

In town it’s crowded. As I walk in my black pencil skirt my thighs are rubbing together from the heat. That forever taking diet is not paying off. Thigh rubbing or not, I decide against a cappuccino and order just a black coffee. A biscuit that accompanies it gets handed over to Sebastian who eagerly [...]

Posted by: fracas on April 18 @ 11:41 pm

I figured that after some hectic weeks, followed by the anti-climax of a cancelled holiday, I could better treat myself to something good. When I’m on a mission, I’m on a MISSION, and in the course of a few hours I had bought items worthy of a new wardrobe. Classic high heel loafers from Tods, [...]

Thankfully women has evolved to the 2.0 version, but as we are equipped with a certain sense our predecessors may have lacked, we have also been [...]

The proof is in the pudding

Posted by: fracas on March 17 @ 10:08 am

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. [...]
