Almost two weeks later...

You know, I was planning on being a good girl and posting a blog last week but something prevented me from doing that. When I go to my 'blogger's dashboard' I see the news of the other blogs I am following and something caught my eye: a new website! Vivian Maier was an amazingly talented street photographer who got discovered by chance and the guy that discovered her was keeping a blog and now made her a website, is working on a book and even a documentary! I totally LOVE her pictures, wouldn't mind having some prints on my walls really... Go have a look and prepare to be amazed... http://www.vivianmaier.com/



Ok, so I apparently survived Easter. I am still getting adjusted to 1.) Being divorced and 2.) Having no money. Both really mean my holidays aren't really holidays but just boring sitting inside days. Dan was having family over, my kids were working... Oh well. We just got Queen's Day, Pentecost and my birthday coming up and after that I am safe until Christmas.

Last Tuesday was my first time of volunteering at the local hospital. I am supposed to 'shadow' an experienced volunteer for a few days, to see if I like the work and to see if they like me. I am doing the 'eating project' at the moment, that means helping people that can't eat themselves or stimulating people that don't really wanna eat. Have to say: I like it! It helped of course that there was a birthday, with pie, and that I got 2 left over Easter desserts ;) I will be going again tomorrow and next Tuesday and after that we decide...

I am so excited, Dan has sent me a care package and it's supposed to be arriving one of these days. I know there is a too cool Betty Boop handbag in it (black hole size ;) ) and a Betty Boop wallet. And a lot of other stuff he won't say :D Yesterday he and Andrea were both torturing me on MSN because Andrea knows one of the other items in the box. Box is 12"x12"x24" (30,5x30,5x61 cm) so quite a biggie and Dan said there is ballast inthere to stop the other stuff from rattling and that it's not just polystyrene peanuts but also stuff I will like. He even stopped me from eating my blinis with smoked salmon because something in the box will go so well with that.

He and Andrea just keep torturing me... You know, I can totally forget about the box having to arrive or what's gonna be in it but not if people keep reminding me every single day! And Dan is giving totally useless clues, like: one thing in the box is a 'one-of-a-kind',or: 'I am in the box' (riiight IF ONLY!) Andrea and her boyfriend are just laughing their asses off, and she says: 'If my boyfriend sent me something like that I'd cry for at least a week so prepare to cry for a month you!' and : 'He's the sweetest guy in the whole wide world, you just make sure to treasure him!' GRRRRRR! I can hardly stand the anticipation!!!

You know what the very worst thing is? I promised not to open the care package until we have camera-possibility! Because he would love to see my face... So I am hoping it arrives in the morning before coffee and not AFTER coffee because that would mean I'd have to wait all friggin' day until he gets home from work again!

Okay, I am gonna anticipate some more ;) You all have a great day and please help me hope the care package arrives in the morning ;)
 Huuuugz!!!
