11th on tuesday

11.
My sushi looks and tastes gooood! Hope it's still good tomorrow.

Ten on tuesday

1. The snow's gone... we have rain now. The field were the horses are is not happy. It's going to be a crappy spring without to much grass.

2. I'm making sushi! It sounds easy, but is it easy? We'll soon find out!

3. The dutch tv has made a great evening program. It starts at 17:30 with Will and Grace, then at 6 Greys anatomy, at 7 Greys anatomy and at 8 Sex and the City. Wiehoe!

4. Does anyone remember the summer. Being outside all the time, everything is green. Everyone is happy, you don't need big sweaters and jeans to keep warm.
I love watching the photo's from next year.

5. The girls that took care of Tweet and Mo while we were in Canada took some pictures and I got them yesterday. Now you can see how cute Tweet actually is.


And how sweet Mo is:


6. Any nice salad recipes anyone? I'm kind of done with my standard salad with cucumber, tomato and dressing.

7. Photo of the week:

It looks so soft. But in the meanwhile it's cold and not that soft.

8. Song of the week: You got the love - Candi Staton. An oldie but it stays nice!

9. I hate it when facebook doesn't work. I'm kind of addicted to farmville and I can't reach it now. Being addicted is complicated.

10. HAPPY B-DAY KARA! No, you are not old! You look like a mid twentier so don't complain! ;-)

Ten on Tuesday

1. Snow..... for three months now... We are starting to look like Canada more and more. This is not fun anymore.
They predict we are going to have 6 degrees on friday. Let's hope it stays that way.

2. I don't like Harm.... He's going to New York in april. That's like.... mean! I want to go there!

3. I have spoiled co-workers.. I gave them muffins so much lately. They are kind of sad when I didn't made some.

4. I love long weekends. Since I have my current job I'm off every other friday.

5. I have to admit. I start to like my job now. I was shocked when I started it. Since I'm not educated as a secretary it was complicated to start with, especially because there was no one that could explain it to me.

6. Song of the week: One republic - all the right moves.

7. I bought 30 puzzles last week. What can I say, it was a deal! I bought them on 'marktplaats' the dutch version of 'ebay'.

8.
Picture of the week. Before I even knew Mo I took this picture. The first one with all my horses on it. Now I have to take another picture with all of my horses.


9. I suprised Harm for valentines day... We decided not to do anything about it.. but I didn't like the thought of that.

10. Harm and I like watching Jon and Kate. She's extremely busy! It's a good thing they broke up. They are still broken up right? Since we are watching it on Travel and Living and they are not a big thing in Holland.

Ten on Tuesday

1. We went to Friesland last weekend, and I have to admit, it was fun! We got to Heerenveen on friday, went shopping a little and went back to the hotel. I bought a pair of leather boots and a cook book.
On saturday we went to Bolsward and Franeker. Lovely little villages. I really liked Franeker, it has a lot of history and offcourse the oldest home made planetarium.
We stayed in a bed and breakfast in Harlingen that night. What a lovely woman!
On sunday we went back to Leidschendam, but we stopped in Volendam first....


Yes.. I am aware of the fact that it is so wrong in so many ways... But my mom liked it so it is okay.

2. It's cold. Like... really cold. My fueltank cap was frozen yesterday. That was nice to get some fuel. I looked like an idiot.. It was cold in Canada, but this is starting to look a lot alike.

3. I hate calling people I hardly speak to. But for some reasons I end up doing it anyway.

4. Lately, I like going to bed early. Like at 9 o'clock in the evening. Could it be the winter? Or the nice bed? I think a combo.

5. How come... people want to borrow dvd's but never give them back. So.. my sollution is... keep my dvd's to myself.

6. I have a lot of respect for Kara... doing a ten on tuesday. It's hard!!

7. Horse news!


They are cute!

8. As an addition to my addictions... cookbooks. Remember the one from the cupcakes? I found out there are a lot of other ones from the same writer :D Jeeej!

9. I miss summer... I know our 3 months of snow and cold is noting compared to Canada. But I just miss summer really bad.
Sitting in the field in the sun with the horses around me eating grass.


10. New!! Picture of the week:



Yes please!!

Ten on Tuesday

1. Week number 9 with snow... Yes, you read that correctly. We have had 8,5 weeks with snow this winter. And it's not even spring so a lot of winter is still ahead of us...
I'm curious what's going to happen the next few months.

2. Does anyone knows how much fun it is to make cupcakes!! It's so much fun!!! I've made cherry-chocolat-whipped cream cupcakes and oreo cupcakes now and they all were awesome.


3. This weekend we are going to Friesland.... I've never been there yet for real. Just to pick something up. So I wonder how it's like. I'll let you know!

4. Did I tell anyone I'm hungry? Waiting for Harm to get home. Why does he have to work so far away?

5. I need to read more. I have like 20 books that still need to be read. I need more time!!

6. Song of the week: One republic- All the right moves.. Harm doesn't like it. I do! But it looks like a song I used to know. But... what song was it?

7. I need to update my ipod and iphone. I don't have any recent songs on them. The newest ones are from august 2009.. Oepsie!

8. Horse news: I bought myself a new hat. So now I'm safe on my horse now... And that's a good thing cause Mo is pretty exited lately... o yeah, and strong. Like.. really strong.. Why did I buy a big horse?
No. I love her. And now she is extra cool.


9. Our commercials on tv are so long. I can listen to All the right moves 2 times....

10. I have another new addiction. Except for baking cupcakes. Buying covers for my Iphone...
