Wish-challenge

My, my, yet another challenge!

Okay, 7 wishes that shouldn't be too difficult... finding 7 other bloggers however... I can only come up with my cousin but her english isn't just so-so, it's even worse... so let's skip the last part of the challenge, ey?

So, these 7 sprung to my mind:

  1. I wish that all those who consider themselves all high and mighty would finally wake up and realise that something must be done to preserve our delicate climate & all the wild life!!
  2. I wish to find decent day-care for my daughter! The one she's enlisted for now is too impersonal, too many children, too many changes in staff...
  3. I wish for a healthy baby. Yes, you read that correctly, I'm once again pregnant! Personally I blame my high fertility, my messed up cycle and a baby that sleeps through the night so her parents can forfill their need for shagging.... Wait wasn't there some wishing for a shag?? (careful what you wish for :-)
  4. I wish I won a lot of money so I could stay home a couple of years and take care of my children.
  5. I wish to see the two remaining HP-movies quickly.
  6. I wish it would snow on Christmas (it's been ages!!)
  7. I wish people would just get along with each other... Is that so hard??

Voila, that's it!

Hi!!

I know, I know: it has been ages since my last update... But I promise I'll make it up this time. First things first: apparently I have been challenged to list my top 5 cities I've been to. It's not going to be easy to come up with at least five, haven't really been to a lot of big cities... But out of nowhere in my disorganised head I'll have to say:

  1. Athens, Greece: I rather like everything about Greece, so much historical sites *drools*, the food is fantastic, the people are super-friendly and the weather is always GOOD! Hence my number 1.
  2. Paris, France: magical city, lots of things to see but rather sour inhabitants and ridiculously expensive.
  3. Lissabon, Portugal: especially with the whole new expo site in 1998. Excellent climate too.
  4. Köln, Germany: wonderful Christmas atmospere!
  5. Switserland: not really a city, but the whole country has such a beautiful environment: ideal for long walks. Which I loved as a 12-14 year old & skiing of course!!
And that's my top 5 for now... It all depends on the freshness of the memories (for example I remember being to Barcelona when I was very young but for the love of god I can't say if I liked it or not)

Anyhoo: list of the countries I've been to: France, Spain, Portugal, Cyprus, Greece, Austria, Switserland, Germany, Tjech Rep, Italy, Netherlands and I think thats about it.

Would love to go to: Londen (a shame I've never been there I know!!), Ireland and I'm sure there are more...

Phew, so far the challenge-part. I'm also glad to say that I've finally read 'Call of the Wild'! It's a beautiful story and I usually tear up when the main character is an mistreated animal and I must say, this time it wasn't differently! Didn't had that book yet but I'm glad I got to read it! Btw, Yoze I've been meaning to write you a thank you-note for the cute little dog you got for Helena. I haven't gotten to it but I'm going to take a pic with her and the dog instead and send that one, what do you think?

I have been reading your NIN-posts too but I'm afraid I don't know anything about them! I can relate to the total obsession-thing, when I was 17 or so I was totally crazy about Dreamtheater... Sadly no one had heard of the band in their life so the obsessiveness died a anonymous and quite dead... A few years later the AR-obsession started and although it mellowed down a bit I've decided to keep it anyway :-) I haven't got the time to find a new one. (Besides he's a good actor so I won't have to watch movies that suck (much))

I've got to go now: Helena is crying *hungry**hungry* so I better go and serve... :-)

BUT I'll behave and update soon, now we finally got *gasp* an internet connection!

Laters!!
