Just me...

Touched

2009-07-07T22:09:00.002+02:00

I know. So long time. Nothing written.
But hey, now I really have something on my mind.

I met a guy a week ago while taking part in a telly-show. Nothing sexual. No love. Just a nice guy who were/is funny and let me forget my "around" for a day.
And while surfing the web today I found out he wrote some poems. And they really touched me. God! I cried! How could someone who doesn't even now me, write so out of my heart. Unbelievable. Touching.

Thank you for that, R.

I am a nice person! Yeah!

2009-05-16T14:27:00.003+02:00

I feel not so bad today. Except a littel headache. Yesterday evening we had a business dinner. Company jubilee. Prof. Dr. Soandso with his wife and all this VIPs where there. But hey, it was okay! And one of these "uptown" wife told me that she thinks I'm a really nice and good person and shouldn't care bout my overweight. She said I have a really good character and charisma. Hey and that after half an hour! That really built me up!
So, lets see what the weekend brings.

Hugs, Sonny ♥

Just another....

2009-05-11T21:42:00.002+02:00

... manic monday...
I wish it was sunday...

Okay, this day wasn't THAT bad.
I got up early enough Chrissie was second to stand up, normaly it's me who turns around twice before getting up. So I could catch the bus for being on time. Weather wasn't really nice. It was slightly raining.
I don't like drizzle. An umbrella won't really help to stay dry.
At office it was a typical monday. The stack of files was even higher than it was when I left on friday. Our boss always does this. My workmate has exact the same problem. That's a thing of really small offices I think. Luckily our boss had an appointment (one that we booked for him - hehe - ) so we could do our job without being bossed around. The clients weren't much difficult today so (nearly) everything was fine.

Being home I did some housework and after it drove to the supermarket. Still raining. At least not cold.
While shopping I decided there will be tortellini for supper.

So you see, nothing really mentionable happened today.
Just another (manic) monday.

But anyway, don't we all hate mondays?

don't ask me why i haven't been blogging for such a long time. I really can't tell you reasons.
Lots of facts. Computer problems, blogging blockade, familiar problems, to be short:

Life happened! ;-)

But i really try to give at least one update a week. I'm doing an offline-diary so I'll just sum it up at end of week...

Aren't we all animals?

2009-04-15T11:54:00.000+02:00

I'm a baby zebra!

All baby animals are cute, but no other animal is cute in exactly the same sweet, stripy way that you are. Zebra stripes are like fingerprints -- no two zebras have exactly the same pattern. Baby zebras are very playful, and they spend lots of time nuzzling each other. If another zebra has an itchy back or messy hair, you'll fix the problem with your teeth. You and your friends sort of have an agreement: If you nibble my back, I'll nibble yours. To stay out of danger, zebras listen closely to everything that's going on around them. They can turn their ears in almost any direction. (If you share that ability, we beg you to record a video and post it online.)

Icecream, anyone?

2009-04-10T22:08:00.001+02:00

Your Ice Cream Personality:

You are not a particularly modest person. You're proud of who you are, and you don't care who knows it.
You are a pretty cautious person. You look before you leap, and you don't leap often. There's a bit of a wild child within you, but it doesn't get out often.
You are a somewhat open minded person, but deep down you're fairly conservative. You don't like trying new things very much. And if you do find something new you like, you stick with it.
You are a natural multitasker. You feel alive when you're doing more than one thing at a time.
You are fun loving and sweet.

The New Year Meme

1. Looking back on 2008, what might your theme song have been?
I would say "Circle of Live"

2. If 2008 was a movie, who would play you?
Uuh, difficult. I think Meg Ryan would do best. She's able to show all emotions that I've gone through. But she definitely needs to put lots weight on. Or just wear a so called fat suit ;-)

3. What was your greatest gift of 2008?
Mmh, I don't really know.

4. What is your New Year Resolution, or, what are you committing to this year?
I don't make New Year Resolutions anymore, coz I nearly never fullfilled them. So I just say I'd like to get back in shape again, save money, get fitter, live healthier, and so on... ;-)

5. If January could be represented by one song, what would it be?
"A winters tale"

6. What do you wish for your body in 2009?
As I wrote above, to get back in shape!!!

7. Name one new thing you would love to try in the New Year.
For that I never tried Sushi, I think I dare it this year...

8. What do you long for 2009 to bring?
Love, health and happiness

9. If that happened, how would you feel?
Loved, healthy and happy ;-)

10. Where would you love to vacation in 2009 if money were no object?
Dominican Republic, Las Vegas, New York (America in general, coz I've never been there)

11. What would you like the theme of 2009 to be?
O.S.B.

12. If 2009 was a book, and the title was 5 words or less, what might the title be?
Hope dies last.

Thanks for stopping by today. Please come back whenever you like to.
Have a nice sunday.

Friday Fill-Ins

2009-01-02T16:21:00.005+01:00

1. The worl is cold and powdered with snow - at least at my part of the world ;-).

2."liebhaben" (means I love you) was the last thing I said.

3. I wonder how long it will take until my sweet♥ C.bear will be fine again (he's got a bad cold since yesterday) .

4. There will be always something new at the end of all things.

5. There's something to be said for being inside cuddling with the one you love when it's cold outside.

6. On a sunny beach in the carribean sea together with C.bear is where I want to be.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to having a yummy dinner (as long as sweet&heart is fit enough), tomorrow my plans include taking care for C.bear and Sunday, I want to cuddle the whole day with sweety!!

Hugs to all of you,

New Year's Resolutions...

...next year...

I am 3.15 p.m. ;-)

2008-12-12T11:45:00.000+01:00

You are 3:15 p.m.

You are the moment when the last bell rings and school lets out for the day. You are resistant to schedules and obligations, so you love feeling like you're in control of your life again. You are the very moment when the second hand hits the 12, and the halls fill with noise and motion. Even if your after-school time is packed with activities, lessons, or a job, somehow, you just feel freer in the late afternoon than you do earlier in the day. Maybe it's all that blue sky and afternoon sunshine? Nah -- even on rainy days, 3:15 is always a beautiful time.

Heads or Tails #42: Flowers

2008-06-10T15:38:00.007+02:00

If you wanna play too, click the header...

While thinking bout this week's theme the first thing that came to my mind was roses.
Roses are my very favourite flowers. Roses are decorated at lots place in our home. Real and artificial ones. But of course I prefer the real ones. These ones I got from hubby for last years' anniversary (I scrapbooked it a bit, hope you don't mind):

And roses bring me to another thing. One of my favourite stories:

The little prince
by Antoine de Saint Exupéry.

[...]The little prince went away, to look again at the roses.
"You are not at all like my rose," he said. "As yet you are nothing. No one has tamed you, and you have tamed no one. You are like my fox when I first knew him. He was only a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But I have made him my friend, and now he is unique in all the world."
And the roses were very much embarassed.
"You are beautiful, but you are empty," he went on. "One could not die for you. To be sure, an ordinary passerby would think that my rose looked just like you--the rose that belongs to me. But in herself alone she is more important than all the hundreds of you other roses: because it is she that I have watered; because it is she that I have put under the glass globe; because it is she that I have sheltered behind the screen; because it is for her that I have killed the caterpillars (except the two or three that we saved to become butterflies); because it is she that I have listened to, when she grumbled, or boasted, or ever sometimes when she said nothing. Because she is my rose.
And he went back to meet the fox.
"Goodbye," he said.
"Goodbye," said the fox. "And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
"What is essential is invisible to the eye," the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember.
"It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important."
"It is the time I have wasted for my rose--" said the little prince, so that he would be sure to remember.

"Men have forgotten this truth," said the fox. "But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your rose . . ."
"I am responsible for my rose," the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember.[...]

Thursday thirteen

2008-06-05T13:36:00.004+02:00

Welcome to my first TT (in my new blog). To play to, please click banner.

I finally got my written exam results: I passed! I only need to do my oral exam on 18th and then I'm finished. And no matter what grade I'll get for oral exam, my cumulative grade is already a very good one. AND I've got a job. So finally our hard times will be over in july. We'll earn good money. No more worrying wether we could afford something or not. Finally. After four years having sparse money we really deserve it, I think. Thank god.
So that brings me to my TT-topic for this week:

13 things we're going to get/do when we earn more money:
(not listed by priority)

buy a new sofa. Our old one is close to break down. Too bad quality. This one is what I prefer:

buy a new bed. The one we have now is hubby's 15 (!!!!) year old futon. Not really comfortable, and our backs don't like it too. We want to have a comfy one like this:
buy a new cooker. The one we have is a used one we got from friends when we moved in our home three years ago. We're happy to have one, but it doesn't work very well anymore. It takes ages to bake a cake in it for example. Annoying. We both like to have this one:

But unfortunately we have no gas pipe in our house, so we need to look for another, electric one.
Renovate our bath-room. I'm thinking of a kind of spa... ;-)
going on holiday in the Dominican Republic. Summer, Sun, Sand and Sea... ;-)
a plasma-tv for our bedroom.
Buy a new car for hubby (and me), a family friendly one (*wink*). We prefer an Audi.
And somewhat later buy a little ONE for me. Convertible please ;-)
give our home a complete make over (with help of this wonderful swedish furniture shop *g*)

buy a new bigger cage for our little bunny Barney
adopt a little child of the third world to help him/her getting a better life.

buy a second notebook, so that each of us got his own. I prefer this one:
HEEHEE!! Hey I'm a girl... ;-)
Save money for hard times (that'll hopefully never come back again!!!)

See you soon,
♥ Sonny

Dona Nobis Pacem

2008-06-04T08:30:00.004+02:00

Today it's another blogblast for peace hosted by wonderful mimi.

Dona Nobis Pacem. Grant us peace. Gib uns Frieden.

Everybody can do something. Every peace starts with a little smile. Don't look away. Do something!!!

But nothing says it better than this:

Last night I had the strangest dream
I'd ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war

I dreamed I saw a mighty room
Filled with women and men
And the paper they were signing said
They'd never fight again

And when the paper was all signed
And a million copies made
They all joined hands and bowed their heads
And grateful pray'rs were prayed

And the people in the streets below
Were dancing 'round and 'round
While swords and guns and uniforms
Were scattered on the ground

Last night I had the strangest dream
I'd never dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war.

Visit other peace globes!

Thanks for visiting,
Hugs and Peace to all of you,

Ouch....

2008-05-13T20:41:00.003+02:00

This morning I woke up with a horrible hip pain. I had hip pain lots time (due to an asymetric pelvis) but can't remember last time it was that strong.
I couldn't do very much today. I couldn't really walk, I couldn't sit, I couldn't stand. And the worst thing was to drive the car. Every time I had to press the clutch it felt like someone knocked a big nail in my hip. OUCH!!!
But now I've taken painkillers and they've started to have an effect. Or it's the sangria...
Yeah, I know it's not good to combine painkillers and alcohol. But it works. And that's all that counts at the moment...

Happy Fat Loss Friday...

2008-05-09T19:46:00.007+02:00

Hey!! Ticker is moving! Not much, but it's moving!! And in the RIGHT direction... ;-)
I've lost a pound this week.

I've been a really good girl: I went to the outdoor swimming pool three times! For 2 hours each! Sunday, Tuesday and today. So it worked! Yeah Yeah Yeah!!!
My schedule for next week is: Go swimming every second day and do some workout (bout half an hour) on the step machine the days between. So hopefully I will stick on to it...!

But I'm happy. So this is motivation.
Hugs to all of you,

Summer slim down Sunday!!!

2008-05-04T13:29:00.002+02:00

I haven't lost a pound last week, due to final-exam-stress, but I'll do my very best to get some off this week...
So I'm off to the outdoor pool! That combines three good facts: I can swim to burn some calories, have fresh air and can learn while lying in the sun... ;-)

See ya in the sun!!!

♥ Sonny

Frustration Friday... :-(

2008-05-02T23:09:00.005+02:00

It's really frustating: I haven't lost any pound this week. I'm quite sure it's because of all the stress coz of final exam. Too less exercises, too much food.
This is mostly all I saw this week:

Frustrating, isn't it?

But I made a decision today: With the start of this new month I try to start a new life: more sport and exercises, (nearly only) healthy food, being more relaxed. For that my (written) final exam is on wednesday, that really could work this time. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

♥, Sonny

Friday's Feast #188

2008-04-25T12:36:00.003+02:00

Appetizer
Name something you would categorize as weird.
I could name you some names of some people I know... ;-)

Soup
What color was the last piece of food you ate?
Orange,red,white.
I had a carott-apple-salad with light-dressing.

Salad
On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how much do you enjoy being alone?
I would say 2. I don't like much being alone. Except hubby is with me. ;-)

Main Course
Fill in the blank: I will not vote for anybody in usa. (Coz I live in Germany!)

Dessert
Describe your sleeping habits.
At the moment they're really bad. I'm too nervous coz only 5 days left 'til first final exam. I can't sleep well. Yesterday I went to my doc and got some soporifics to get some more sleep.

That's all for today. I hope you liked it.

Heads or Tails #35 - Direction

2008-04-22T10:18:00.004+02:00

Want to play, too? Click on the banner...

This week's theme is "Direction". So what should I write? The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear direction is: FINAL EXAM!!!
To be honest I can hardly think bout anything else at the moment.
My direction is my final exam.
As some of you might already know I'm doing a vocational retraining (to become office management assistant) since July 2006. I've finished my internship last week, and now the time is ticking!!!
My first exam will be next tuesday. Information processing. Next direction is written exam on May 7th. Last direction is oral exam about 4 weeks later.
As you can see I have a straight direction for the next 2 months!!!
After I've passed (hopefully) my exams, we can talk about my next direction: getting a good job...

So, folks, wish me luck.
And don't worry if I don't post a lot within the next weeks. I'm just holding on to my direction... ;-)

Hugs, ♥ Sonny

This one of the very first pics I took of him. He found asylum in december at our house after my step-sister found him outside a house standing there in the cold rain. Can you believe someone is so cruel to put something cute like that outside in the cold december rain? Unbelievable, isn't it?
But he found a very nice and comfy home with us. He's grown and became very cuddly...
We love him.
Even Bennie loves him. But we don't dare to let Barney out while Bennie is around... ;-)

Hugs to all of you, have a wonderful Sunday,
♥ Sonny

Fat Loss Friday...

2008-04-18T21:28:00.002+02:00

I didn't lose a pound this week. PMS got me... :-(
Very frustrating...
I don't feel well. Not only coz of PMS. Life sucks....

&hearts Sonny

Time out...

2008-04-18T21:22:00.001+02:00

I'm so sorry, but I won't be blogging a lot during the next days. I've got to much to do for my final exam. So I won't find much time to blog something. I'll really try, but can't promise to be online regularly.

Wish me luck my friends,

There it is!!! A new meme is born: Camera Critters!!! And I never ever wanna miss it!! Thanks to the beautiful Misty for hosting this wonderful meme!!!
(If you wanna join, click the header)
So, here's my piece:

This is a pic showing "Bennie". It's my dad's dog. But on and off he's on holiday at Chris and my home. Just like now. He's lying right next to me on the couch and snuggles up to me. He loves it (and so do I)!!!
I'm quite sure you'll see some more pics of him ;-)

Hugs to all of you, have a wonderful Sunday,

Fat Loss Friday...

2008-04-12T00:49:00.004+02:00

This "Summer Slim Down" weightloss challenge was started by Christie.
So if you wanna know more, please hop over to her blog.

Allthough it's already saturday in my part of the world I won't let ya go without posting my this week's weight loss.
This week I only lost 1.1 lb, but for that I really haven't done much (had some problems in private life this week) - just tried to drink some more water, that's okay.

My goal for next week is to fight my weaker self and get myself going to do some exercises again. That's my biggest problem: my weaker self. In past, I always lost the fight. Especially if there were some extra problems in private life just like this week.
If anybody has some good tips for me how to win the fight, please let me know. I will be thankful ;-)

So my specific goals for next week are:

eat (more) fruits and veggies
drink more water or unsweetened tea instead of diet coke
do at least two days exercise on my step machine

Wish me luck to get all that done besides my final exam-preparation (only 2 weeks to go *shiver*)
That's all for this week, folks.
♥ Sonny ♥

I really do my very best ( for the millionth time...)

2008-04-09T13:54:00.003+02:00

During my blog-hopping I came across Christie's blog and stumbled upon her "THE 'LET'S FIND OUR HAPPY PLACE' ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE DAY" - Post.

It's about loosing weight until June. That's about 2 months left.
Not that I haven't tried that before. I tried it about a billion times. But maybe I'll get it now.
So here's my goal:
I want to fit in my favourite khaki pants and my sexy khaki top again for summer. (Unfortunately I don't have a pic of me wearing that, but I'm going to take a pic of the pants and the top and post it here).

So wish me luck! I really need it ;-)

Heads or Tails #33 - Express

2008-04-08T13:53:00.004+02:00

Want to play, too? Click on the banner...

Today there will be a very short HoT, coz I don't know how to express my feelings today. I feel a bit expressionless, emotionless today. Could be coz of the lack of sleep during last days. I can't sleep very well if I'm all alone in bed. Just the dog is with me. Hubby prefers to stay up all night to play an online game (during our complete holiday and also before), chat with the people there. And because I can't express in words how I feel about that (I tried once, but he didn't/doesn't understand, he just calls me bitchy then) I decided to express my feelings in the way I behave. So I'll go. I'll spend the rest of the day with a friend of mine and maybe stay there for the night. I think so. Maybe I do, maybe I don't. I don't know yet. I just feel so blank.
As you can see, I'm not such a happy self-expression today....

Stupid?

2008-04-07T15:56:00.003+02:00

I found this over at Barb's blog.
And liked it so I nicked it... (naughty girl me... *wink*)

You're a Little Stupid

You got 9/10 questions right!

Or at least careless. Better go back and recheck your answers!

Are You Stupid?

No good combination...

2008-04-05T01:03:00.004+02:00

(Scroll down for PS Hunt, please...)

Some of you might have noticed that I haven't been blogging for a while (thanks barb for letting me know you care). That's just because I couldn't pull myself together. I suffer from spring lethargy and have to prepare myself for final exam in may. That no good combination!!!!

I have holiday until next sunday so I hope I'll bring myself up again. So please stop by at my blog time by time, I'm sure I'll post the one or other thing.

If anybody has some good advice against spring lethargy and exam preparation stress, please let me know in comments!!!

Hugs, with ♥, Sonny

Photo Hunt: Glass

2008-04-04T22:33:00.005+02:00

Welcome to Saturday Photo Hunt.
This weeks' theme is "glass".
So I had a look at my photo archive and tried to figure out which picture I could choose.
I decided to choose this one:This picture was taken during our last summer holiday at the north-sea. We drank some glasses of "Moorgeist" (Ghost of marsh) one evening. It's a traditional East Frisian liquor with 56% alcohol. You pour it into the special glasses (you could use any glass of course) and light it up. After some seconds enjoying the light-effects (don't wait too long or all the alcohol will be gone...) you use the little pan to quench the fire. !!Careful it's hot!! ;-)

You wanna know how it taste? Maybe this'll answer your question:

As you can see I don't like much liquor made of wheat and herbs.

But after some glasses I don't taste it anymore....:obviously... ;-)

Okay, that's all for today. Hope you liked it. Please don't forget to leave a comment....
Hugs to you,
♥ Sonny ♥

London's calling...

2008-02-29T08:41:00.007+01:00

You belong in London

A little old fashioned, and a little modern.

A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock.

A unique soul like you needs a city that offers everything.

No wonder you and London will get along so well.

What City Do You Belong In?

Hi my friends (to be...)!

Sorry that I'm not finished my Heads or Tails. But I've been busy at work the whole day. I'm doing a Praktikum (internship) at the moment and am a really busy bee... ;-)

Heads or Tails #25 - Love

2008-02-11T21:30:00.002+01:00

Welcome to my first Heads or Tails. This week's theme is "Love".
So I'm going to post some pictures of (some of) the people I love.

First of all I love my sweetheart. Chris. I so much love him.
And feels so good to be loved by him.

Naturally I love my nieces and nephews. No matter if they are my biological ones or not.
They give so much to me/us just with being there...
Anna Sophie "Fienchen" (with Bennie - my dad's dog)

Chris and Sophie (she was half a year there) and Sophie and me.

Jared Jordan
his twin-sister Hailey Jade
and the twins' brother: Damien.

Of course I love my Dad.
and I love my mum. I'm so sad she had to go so early. Unbelievable it's ten years in april. I still love her and will never forget her. She gave me so much. I can still feel her around me....

And finally I won't forget: BENNIE!!! Allthough he's not a "people", but he's my "brother" anyway...

Okay, that's all for now. As soon as I've uploaded the latest photos of them I'll show you.
(Maybe you know it's valentines day very soon!! *wink*)
Hope you liked it so far.

Hugs and LOVE to all of you!

Photo Hunt: Heavy

2008-02-09T12:07:00.002+01:00

During our last year's summer holiday at the north-sea we visited the "Waloseum". It's a place where you can learn things about whales and seals and the Wadden Sea. Among other things they exhibit a skeleton of a spermwhale wich was found on 30th november 2003 in the wadden sea of the island norderney. It was quite impressive to see this big heavy animal skeleton. We took a lot pictures. And I want to share these interesting ones with you.

Translation:
Latin technical term: physeter catadon, i.e. teeth only in lower jaw
physter macorcephalu, i.e. big head
Stranded: 30th november 2003 as one of two vagrants at norderney
Gender: male
Age: 20 to 25
Length: 14,5 mtr (47,57 ft.)
Weight: 40 tonne THAT's HEAVY isn't it?
Weight of head: 7,5 tonne
Numbers of bones: 148
Numbers of teeth in upper jaw: 12, rarely existent

Got a clue what this is????

Got it???? Answers in comments, please.... ;-)

"Ouch...." ;-)

Okay, that was heavy....
I hope you liked it. Please don't forget to leave a comment.
Have a nice weekend,
Hugs, Sonny
