And it's only Tuesday...

Last week was so busy and long that Ihave the feeling I didn't have a proper weekend and that today is Thursday, not Tuesday. That's bad, isn't it?
Plans for the week? I'm trying to meet with two friends and hopefully I'll manage to see them this week - on different days. I'm also trying to find a date to go to the gym. Yesterday I was really tired and lazy, today I'm not coming back to London until 6pm, so not really sure how I'll do that. Oh, yes, I don't like to go to the gym too late in the evening, as I have problems sleeping afterwards. I'm also going to check with the eating programme I'm on is working and this is Thursday - fingers crossed for a positive result.
I'm hungry!

Early bird

My day started at 4.30 am today. I don't have to mention that I am sick with sleepiness, do I? On the train to the north now...

Becoming British

Cipri just got into our bedroom screaming "my God it's freezing in here" and closed the windows. Honestly, it was nice fresh... and he is supposed to be the British in this relationship

What I love about being a girl...

... is feeling extremely happy after a manicure/pedicure. Priceless. :-)

House hunting

We are slowly looking for a new house. We saw two on Saturday and although they are not really what we are looking for, at least we can have a look at what's in the market. I quite like house-hunting - I just don't like the fact that houses here are too expensive for what you get.

Dress & All Star (Cont. from the previous post)

(ignore the jumper... you shouldn't (need to) wear jumpers in summer, it's just wrong!).

On summer dresses and sneakers - This post is for Ioana. :-)

Summer dresses and sneakers can get along very well, especially in this who-cares-about-fashion?-I'm-colour-blind-anyway-and-I-don't have-a-mirror world.

I used to wear keds & summer dresses back in time, but all my trainers now are especifically for training.

Below are some examples of how normal or how crazy you can go and the sneakers that usually go match with summer dresses. :-)

New New Year's resolutions... or catching up

I can't remember all of my New Year's resolutions but the few I remember were getting nowhere. Until now. I've been a good girl and exercising regularly - I'm starting to see some results. This week I've started a new eating plan - less boring and frustrating than ordinary diets, but still reducing the 'bad' food. Let's see how long it will last - this is my 2nd day.

Everything is going fine professionally, despite the economy. Got a promotion in the beginning of the year, extra help and I'm learning a lot.

All in all, not fantastic, but not bad either. Looking forward to the second half of the year.

A sign?

One of these days I had to call home (London home, not Rio home) and I realised that I don't have my home number on my mobile. And I don't know it by heart.

Although I've been leaving here for almost 4 years, I still remember my number in Rio.
(NB: Mind you, I just called the house a couple of times)

Day trip

I'm on my way to Ireland, but I'm back tonight. Not much fun,
especially because the weather is not that great.

I've been quite 'busy' since we came back from Sardinia. Loads to do
at work, but I haven't worked very long hours, fortunately. Last
weekend I had 'events' on Saturday and Sunday, which isn't very common
in our lives. My first baby shower abroad - and probably the 2nd in my
life? The weather on Saturday was lovely and the baby shower was in
Brighton (beach) so a very nice combination. And Sunday we watched the
tennis finals in a pub by the river celebrating Charles and mine
belated bdays and Ivika's pre-bday (which has now past and I just
realised that I forgot to say happy bday on the day).

Had breakfast and now feeling slightly sickish. I needed a warm meal
and airports are not the best place to have a meal. I went for egg,
bacon and toast + orange juice. Since I'm not used to that in the
morning, so wonder why I'm sick.

Great.

Gonna get on a tiny plane in an hour. Hope to see you again! :)
