A new business. With bonus material and bloopers and all. And you're right, I changed the title. Bit too presumptious. But if you want to find out more, got to learn Dutch first. Coz I tried in English, i really did, and it's just too much struggle. And hey i am lot smarter and wittier in my own language. So what i'll do; i'll just give it a go and juice it up with some Dutch whenever i am stuck. K?

Some minds work in mysterious ways

For instance; tonight Caroline asked me who Hitler was.
Then she wanted to know why people put poison on the peel/skin (?) of fruit.
And she ended by saying my eyebrows were too manly and come to think of it, made her think of a monster.

I rest my case.

just so you know

you are dealing with a highly intellectual woman here.
I joined the national IQ test last Wednesday on tv.
134 was the outcome.

7 things you (apparently) need to know about me

I've been tagged by Zhu so what can i do?

here we go
1. i have a tattoo on my left shoulder. Have it since i was about 20 so half my life basically. I was scared shit of the pain and walked by the shop about half an hour before my little sister went in and said to one of those heavy tattooed guys in there; you've probably seen us, it's just she is too scared If you want some business you'd better smooth talk her in here.
Which they did and next thing i knew i was sitting half naked in the window shop (blond, what can i say) with that guy doing my shoulder

2. i am a serious sucker for Nathaniel Parker especially in the Lynley Mysteries. Pity they broadcast them pretty late (meaning they start around 10 pm on a sunday night) and i

3. am not much of a night owl. Not that i am a big morning person either. Guess you'd best catch me during the day. Make that 11-12 AM

4. I would love to have had a serious big voice. A big voice. That sounds like total crap. Anyway. Like Anouk or Mariah Carey for all i care. You know a voice with which you can really blast everyone away.
But i don't.
Trust me.
I took singing lessons with 3 girlfriends about 500 yrs ago and we made our singing teacher burst out loud.
No kidding.

5. If i won the lottery i would go traveling. Take the kids and the husband under my arm, alright Melissa you too, and go to St. Petersburg. Take the Siberian express. Or to Canada. Simply cruising with a huge huge camper from east to west and upside down.
Or to Portugal. Or Iceland (again, no kidding).

6. I can touch the ground with my hands flat on the ground any time of the day. Try me.

7. my kids are better at playing poker than i am. Seriously. Mind you i am talking about the 7 and the 8 yr old one. I just can't remember whether a straight is worth more than a flush and what the difference between a full house and a flush is.

So there you have it.
Thanks Zhu !
