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

My rhythm has changed from late nights and 7.30 am wake-ups to early nights and waking up before 6 am. It’s not so bad actually. The gym is already buzzing with activity from jet lagged business people when I get there just after 6 o’clock. I do my usual routine for an hour before I [...]

It’s weird, bordering to the insane to watch the Oscars normal time. At 8.30 pm the award cermony is over and I almost feel cheated. I’m left with an overwhelming “is this really it?” feeling. On the plus side I’m sitting glued to the telly watching the stars from the afterparties. It’s something Europe is [...]

I am sitting at my computer, and for some obscure reason, (which I have forgotten now as the aftermath totally eclipsed the original idea), I decided to Google my husbands name. As Google is becoming more and more intelligent, it is propting some different search combinations, which apparently has a relatively high search volume. It [...]

I was going through some of my recently taken pictures and came across an incredibly cute one of Reinout and Sebastian waiting at the hairdresser. Needless to say, it ends up on the blog. That and the statement that Reinout blurted out the other day… Reinout: “Do you think I look younger when I have [...]

The room is filling with noise. Somewhere I have a vague feeling a bath is being made up. I pull the duvet even closer around my ears to block out the constant stream of aural input. I think it works for about half an hour. Then my husband wakes me up slowly. He’s whispering sweet [...]

When I started this blog, I wanted it to be an outlet for whatever popped up in my mind. It was my own little experiment. Could I really write about everything openly and honestly online? The first part was rather easy. Yes, you can write about anything. And from my own experience, the bolder you [...]

We definitely have an ongoing trend with verbal arguments, walk outs and cold shoulders. In fact our house (lets not call it a home anymore *sarcasm*) is in a permanent perma-frost state. The times the sun is shining is doing little to melt the enormous iceberg. Perhaps it’s my medication (I recently started taking something [...]

…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 completely exhausted, walking home in anger after a disrupted dinner. I was suppose to have an evening out with my husband but something went wrong (someone was a tad too drunk #@$%^&*!) and I’m now at home, on my own in bed. WTF happened? Perhaps solitude is the only viable option?

There are times when insanity is closer than you think. When thoughts are walking on a tightrope of clarity and despair. Every little roadblock becomes a hugh mountain, and I realise I am not a mountaineer, I’m not even a hiker, and extreme sports is as far away from this chic’s horizon as that illusive [...]
