Okay, FIRST I want to apoligize for not writing in a whole MONTH! Sorry, sorry, sorry!!! Mea culpa and so on... But not that much happened, my life is quite boring really :p So I waited until I really had something to tell ;)
Last week I spent a few days at Andrea's house. We had big plans but her boyfriend was home early every day ( we thought he had the night shift but instead it was the early shift :p). So we shopped a little, talked a lot and we all cooked once. I met Andrea's best friend, Yvonne. She's exactly 364 days younger than me and a fun girl :) She came for coffee one morning and surprised me with a real Enkhuizer pastry for...breakfast! (Andrea and I are night people :')) I have Yvonne on Facebook and MSN now so...I made a new friend!
The volunteerwork is going to start real soon now too. I have my first appointment through Activite on Monday April 18th, with the coordinator to meet a lady that wants a companion. And the hospital had troubles getting the emails through so they finally contacted me. I have an appointment there on Wednesday, April 20th and the idea is that I will go help on the 'eating project' there, help people that don't want to eat or are having difficulty eating. I have to say, I am really excited! And who knows, I might do up some nice contacts :)
Spring is in the air (finally!) and the building society asked Evandro to do up his garden. I would have done it but I didn't have any tools and he has to throw away some stuff too. So last week when I was away he put up a fence with his dad and cut down a lot of stuff. He left the tools here so I cleaned out the garden and I bought some packets of seeds. Now if he gets all the wood and stuff out I can sow a myriad of summer flowers and we'll have a nice cottage garden :) And I'll have some nice flowers to pick and put inside too ;)
I have sown some plants inside too, like geraniums and carnations and cherry tomatoes, in little greenhouses. And some Nasturtiums (long and double/short) and herbs in the 2 planters. Last year I really couldn't be bothered, I just threw some stuff in the planters ( to see them almost dead when I came back from Chicago :p) but this year...I think I found my gardening 'gusto' again :) I may have to ask Evandro for the garden hose so I can keep the garden watered, in the 'old house' my ex has made a whole watering system so I don't think they'll need it.
Dan has finally sorted out his birth certificate, he's no longer born in 1978 :') So I no longer have a toy boy :p Of course this does mean we can FINALLY get started on the paperwork to get me to the US. I have to fill out some forms, get an international divorce certificate and have some 'american style' passport pictures made and send it all to Dan. And once he files the request it's gonna take at the most 15-18 months before I can leave the Netherlands for good... It's exciting, but also a bit scary, especially since we'll have to get married :') Oh well, I guess we'll both survive that ;)
My babygirl and her boyfriend finally got the key to their brand spanking new appartment today! I am so happy for them :) Tomorrow they'll start painting and put in the laminate flooring, and then it's moving time... Now both my kids have their own little flats :D I am a proud mom!
Well, I think that's about it for now! I'll try to post more often, and even tell about the boring stuff :p
Have a nice day and cy'all soon!
