...Another blunder... :(

It was a great weekend!

Yesterday I met RascalM (a Flickr friend) and his wife, who were in the Netherlands on business trip, finally in person. Such lovely people! I was (had been, I should say, a while before), just like when I was going to meet my Fanmenco-friends in Seattle, a bit nervous and anxious. But, of course, it was not necessary – again, just like the FanmencoMeetUp! Besides, as I wrote earlier, I’m now more “relaxed” and don’t worry too much since the TransAm trip. I now also think like: “well, I am who I am and this is how I am. One can see me and my daily life through my photos on Flickr”.
It was really great meeting them. I do hope they liked the afternoon in Utrecht… as much as I did! Only, I will take them to other place for lunch next time – or, even better if I’d cook ;)

There’s one thing – another blunder - I rrrrrrrreally have to say now. When I came home, I saw a piece of lettuce between my teeth! Darn, nobody had told me!!
Folks, please, if you ever see spinach or tomato or a sesame seed or anything, anything between my teeth.. please, please, please do tell me! “Hey Kym., you’ve got that thing there between your teeth…” (LOL!)

Blunder

Music: playlist 131106 (right now Dixie Chicks)
Mood: high
In my glass: Primitivo

Blunder today.
I scattered chili powder over my cappuccino. The chili powder was there where cinnamon usually is. I just didn’t look – all the jars look the same - and scattered it over. OMG! Well, fortunately I could just scoop the chili powder out. Phew!

Lesson learned:
Put that jar back where it belongs!!

So,...

Music: playlist 131106 (Texas Gold, Thunder, Van Zant, Venice, RascalM etc.)
Mood: neutral
In my glass: (just about to pour in) Primitivo

…So, ok… it’s been such a long time since my last post. I have been having a hard time to get back to my daily routine. It is often like this after a vacation but this time even harder.

It was really a last minute decision to join the boys for this “across the USA” trip. We were with 3 of us and each one of us had a mission. Mine was to think “what” and “how”. I know now one thing: what I would not like. But then, that’s about it. I’m still thinking.

Another thing: I’m in a way very relaxed since I’m back. Maybe too relaxed… I don’t care or worry much. I should, perhaps, because nothing has really changed. There are still problems to be solved and things to be settled. Well, ok, I’ll think about that, too… eventually.

-------------------------

I finished the Icelandic book (“101 Reykjavik”) last Saturday. A story about a thirty-something guy, unemployed and (sexually) frustrated. It’s hilarious, cynical and sometimes absurd. I liked the style (I read it in Dutch); I could hear him mumbling. I also liked how it ended. Nothing dramatic - well, after some dramatic happenings and events to him, he has changed of course, but he and his mother and her (yes, his mother’s) girlfriend just go on with their lives.

-------------------------

I started a new book yesterday. A book I got from a friend a few years ago. It was still in one of the boxes of my bedroom stuff. Hhm, there are still some boxes to be unpacked since the “bed room project”. Anyway, she gave me this book shortly after we (me and R.) broke up. I remember I was not really “ready” to read (and laugh and enjoy) this book yet. Oh, it’s Synthia Heimel’s “Sex Tips For Girls” (hahahaha!!). Gees, would I ever...? Oh, well, just in case… you never know.

There are things I can recognize like:

“…My day.
11:30 a.m. Wake up. Realize I don’t have a boyfriend. Go back to bed again.
…”

or

“More ways to tell if you are in love:
(……….)
- If you feel smarter, prettier, funnier and happier when you’re with him.
(……….)"

Hmm.. I was feeling so dumb, ugly, boring, unhappy when I was with R. (at least, the last few years). I’m not saying I feel now much different - no I don’t (I’m not in love right now, that’s why, probably). Well, ok.. maybe a little smarter.. prettier … funnier…happier.... juuust a little bit (hehehe).

-------------------------

Since the TransAm trip, I want to spend more time for myself, to do something for myself. I found some recipes I’d like to try. I saw a few nice shirts in the sewing magazine. Maybe I’d sweep all those fallen leaves in between…
