2014 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 8,500 times in 2014. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 3 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

30 Questions for Couples to Keep the Spark Alive

So this is a post I found on a site – I’ll put the link in the bottom- and I really liked the idea.

Get together in a cosy moment with your partner and ask each other all of these or just a few of these questions.
You’re guaranteed to learn some new things about your partner.

Have fun!

#1 What’s the one secret you’ve been too embarrassed to tell me?

#2 Does it bother you if I look at another person and say he/she is sexy?

#3 Have you ever snooped on me behind my back?

#4 If there’s one thing you’d want to change about me, what is it?

#5 If we hadn’t met each other, where would you be right now?

#6 When was the last time you grazed against a sexy someone’s body accidentally?

#7 How would you describe love?

#8 Tell me five instances where you think we’ve had the most amazing sex.

#9 Reveal a sex confession you haven’t told me yet. It doesn’t matter if it’s a weak confession.

#10 What if I told you I was bisexual?

#11 What would you think if you caught me watching porn? Would you get turned on?

#12 What was on your mind the last time we were having sex?

#13 The average duration of sex for most couples is around ten minutes. How long do you think we last?

#14 The average frequency of sex for couples is about eight times a month. How many times a month do you feel is ideal?

#21 What’s one manipulative behavior of mine which pisses you off?

#22 If you had to give me a funny nickname based on my personality or some part of me, what would it be?

#23 Right now, what would you like, mind-blowing sex or a cuddle in a hammock to watch the stars?

#24 If we were at a nude beach together, would you get naked and flash at someone, or would you want me to get completely naked?

#25 Have you ever wanted to buy a sex toy, but hesitated?

#26 Celebs or friends, name one person you would want to sleep with if you were single *other than me, of course*?

When The Little Things Become The Big Ones

It’s in the simple things, which all of a sudden became the big ones.

Now when I’m having a nightmare and twist and turn in the middle of the night, I feel a hand reaching for mine, holding it tightly and I hear a voice softly whispering “sshhh, I’m here. It’s okay. You’re okay.” and I immediately calm down.

When I’m cold at night and shaking, I feel him holding me close next to him, warming me with his body heat.
It’s the best feeling.

Now, when I wake up early in the morning I look over to my side and see my sweetest dream laying next to me.
In all his beauty.

It’s great to feel complete now.
I don’t feel like I’m alone anymore.
Because my other, perfect half is always by my side.

Coming home from work has never been so great
cooking has never been such a fulfilling work.

It seems like we fell even more in love.
I can’t wait for what will happen next.

I can’t wait
for our beautiful future
to begin.

Hello My Lovelies

Hi there my lovelies

I know it’s been ages since I last posted anything here, but as some of you might have guessed I’ve been (and still am) super busy trying to get everything right for our big move this weekend.
As some of you might have read: my boyfriend and I are going to live together, which -if it’s the first time you move away- is a hell of a lot of work, it drives me nuts.

Our furniture was supposed to be delivered today, now it’s scheduled for Saturday afternoon.
We had problems painting our two bedrooms as well.
Basically, nothing’s gone right so far and it drives me crazy.

Work is driving me crazy as well, making me work long days without a break…
it’s hard.
I’m still determined to change work, again, but so far I’ve gotten no luck…
My bedroom is filled with boxes filled with books, dvd’s…
and you still don’t see the difference in my room … and my mom wants my room empty
as soon as possible…
ugh…

I’ll be glad when everything is in order and in it’s place.

Last weekend we went on a 3-day trip to London, but with a group. It kind of sucked.. we prefer to visit London our way, with more freedom and choice.
Madame Tussaud’s for example was an activity we spend 2 hours in.
I really don’t know why people like it that much… it really sucked.
I’ve been in Madame Tussaud’s in Amsterdam as well with school and I even liked that one better.
I expected to see all of Britain’s big idols in the museum, like for example John Cleese and such, but no…

We never actually visited anything, we just went by it or through it.
Except for Madame Tussaud’s and Windsor Castle (which was great!).

My love and I spend our free Saturday afternoon getting cosy in one of our favorite places in London:
Covent Garden. It’s a beautiful place with indoor and outdoor shops and markets and now, during Christmas period, it was even more beautiful with lights and christmas balls everywhere.

I love England so much, the country, the cities…
It feels like coming home every single time again.
We’ve missed it so much, the country, the accent, the kindness…
We’re already planning our next trip, how we’ll do it and where.

Sadly, we didn’t get the chance to go our favorite part of London:
Camden town.
It’s a place filled with punks and alternatives and rockstars.
It’s the punk/alternative part of London, where you can find an-y-thing.
I love it!
Some people might be scared when you walk around there and you see all this painted mohawk-hairstyles and all these punkers, metalheads, hippies and alternatives but if there’s one thing I learned it’s that they are friendlier than any other people in London.
It’s true.
You won’t find sweeter, less judgmental people.
They don’t judge, even if you walk around in a fur coat and a lot of bling bling.

Oh how I love England, I can’t wait to get back as soon as possible.
Like I said: It’s coming home.
And I’m really glad that my love thinks the same way about it, I made him kind of London addicted.

But like I said, we were kind of disappointed by the trip so next time: no groups, no buses, …
Also we didn’t get much sleep, so we were exhausted since we had to get up early Monday morning for work, it was hard and it did hurt. A lot.

Hope you guys had a great weekend as well, let me know!

All my love to you.
