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

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 [...]

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 [...]

Blogging hasn’t come to me in the last days. Partly because I’ve been too busy but in all fairness that is probably just an excuse. A more appropriate explanation is that I’ve gone through days of soul searching. Coming to conclusions, measuring the good against the bad, the balance settled on a scoring board. I’ve [...]

We just came back from from our intake conversation for Sebastian’s new creche. 90 minutes of screaming kids does make you incredibly tired. We both walked out feeling woozy. I’m now in front of my computer with 400 data entries to be done by midnight….or later. Can’t say I’m super excited.

Headache and a pile of [...]

If I was about to sum up this weekend, it would have to be - good in places. Friday evening didn’t turn out quite as expected. Let’s just say a pair of EUR 250;- Chloe shoes (they were on 75% discount in my defence) put a stop for what I had expected to be a [...]

I’m somewhat blank sitting here on the train on my way to work. Tired isn’t the right word, more like absent minded. I wish I could crawl underneath a blanket and stay there until the onset of spring. I’m bogged down with work and it starts wearing me down. I’ve been thinking about how to [...]

My husband is in an excellent mood! Needless to say it makes me very happy too! I don’t know if it’s because of a clean house, a clean admin or a clean conscious. Perhaps it’s all three. My husband is, what you could call, a periodic administrator. Just like the periodic alcoholic abstaining from alcohol, [...]

This weekend was probably the most relaxing in ages. I really had time to switch off, read, sleep, watch movies and play with Sebastian. It didn’t come a moment too late! Instead it triggered a lot of thinking as I got perspective on things again. It’s so easy to be dragged down in every little [...]
