FOB2Y - Fair

Last FOB2Y's assignement was to post about fairs. It's funny, 'cause there's one installing in town right now. It's called "messti" here in Alsace, and in our town it'll last for 2 weekends and the week in between. There are all sorts of carrousels, bumper cars, candy shops, and even a few really scary rollercoasters. BTW, my boss (the town's mayor) asked me to go up on the highest one, which is 40 meters (43 yards) high, to take a pic... Yeah, right!!! Even if I won't go on one of those vomit-machine unless I'm forced to, I'm really looking forward to meet my friends, go with them tour the whole fair and eat the special messti-food!

FOB2Y - the sport edition

Mmmmm, Jen Tapler posted a VERY difficult assignement for the 09/10 FOB2Y: write about favorite sport/team. Actually, it's quite difficult to me since I'm just the least athletic person ever. Yet, there's one sport that I love: ski. I've been skiing since I'm 2 1/2 and I love it. I haven't since way too long, but I will go back this winter and ski, no matter what it takes!!! Oh, and I've also found some interest in soccer recently. Wonder why?




























This is why! LOL Yohann Gourcuff, who plays for the Girondins in Bordeaux, always willing to take is shirt off! Yummy!

FOB2Y - quick and quirky questions

1. Do you wash your own car or do you go to a car wash?

2. Are you wearing socks right now?

3. Where were you 3 hours ago?

4. Do you have laundry waiting to be done?

5. Can you pick objects up with your toes?

My answers: Oh, that's what I should do to show the beautiful pinkish red of my car, which is now hiding under several inches of dust!?!? - Yep, it's been raining all day - at work - yep, a mountain of it! - some of them!

Hot!

OMGosh, Taylor Lautner! I'm twice his age, but whatever!!! LMAO!!

I love this song!

The lyrics are sad and hopeful at the same time, but the song in itself and the singer's voice... just love them!!

One more from George Carlin

OMGosh, just hilarious! (Once again, the language might not be appropriate for little ears...)

Evernote

Okay, I have to admit it: despite the buzz around Evernote and despite the fact that I downloaded it a looooong time ago, I still don't get all the potential of the system yet. Maybe because I can't use it with my cell phone (I have a terrible phone camera... can you believe it?? LOL). Maybe because I already use vi.sualize.us for images. Maybe because I don't like the design (the 2 windows in the desktop feature are not really practical, the reading windows is too small to my taste). Don't know why, but I don't use it fully yet. I don't get defeated that easily, though, and since many of my organisation-gurus are 100% convinced, I will give it another try, and even a couple more if needed.

Did you try Evernote? What did you think? Any tips or advice to enjoy it more?

Summer...

I LOVE summer! The warmth, the sun, the relaxed atmosphere, the vacation (next week... can't wait!), everything!!

Feels good, uh?

My camera is back!!!

Since I broke my camera back in january, only 3 weeks after getting it as my birthday-christmas present, I lived without any camera available... For a photo-addict like me, it's quite something, let me tell you!

Well, last week I finally gave up and ordered a new lense. I got a great deal online and my new toy arrived during my business trip. I was so excited to finally have my own camera at home!! I'm back on track with project 365: here are my pix since tuesday:

Tuesday May 26th: First self portrait with my new lense... the pic is ugly, but it's the model's fault, not the camera's! LOL

Wednesday May 27th: DBF already getting tired to have his photo taken!

Thursday, May 28th: DBF is sick

Friday 29th: I slept in!!! YAY!!!!

Saturday May 30th: I went to a "what to do in case of emergency" course (sorry, don't know how to say it in english), very interesting and helpful, hopefully I'll never have to apply what I learned!

Sunday May 31st: we went to my SIL to celebrate BIL's birthday, and she made this yummy tiramisù... too bad I'm allergic to strawberries!

I'll go to bed smarter than when I woke up...

'cause I learned my Star Wars Name! LOL (For SSD's FOB2Y)

Your Star Wars Name Is Chlma Masio

Your Star Wars Title Is Itnvan of Yug

What Is Your Star Wars Name and Title?

Yeah, right! (FOB2Y)

You Are Spring Cleaning

You are an organized and efficient person. You don't like messes or chaos. You like simple, high quality things. You don't have room for clutter in your life. You believe that everyone deserves a clean slate from time to time... including you. You tend to see a lot of opportunities in life, and you take advantage of them.

What Part of Spring Are You?

I scrapped like a mad woman!!

And I loved it!! LOL I enjoyed this long weekend and {inter}National Scrapbook Day and got back to scrapping. Here are my LOs:

Goals review

Here were the goals I posted 2 weeks ago for april, and how I've been doing so far:

• Prepare cards for all the april and may birthdays (and there are plenty of them in may, so I better be prepared!) NOT DONE, my creative mojo is on vacation, too busy I guess!
  
• Workout every other day for the rest of the month, starting today HALF DONE, I'm usually consistent for the first half of the week and then... pfft!
  
• Catch up on pending to do's at work, especially the (huge) "to read" pile and the (also pretty big) "to file" pile WORKING AT IT and I definitely want to get rid of the "to file" before the end of the month!
  
• Create a budget NOT DONE
  
• File the (gigantic) "to file" pile in my home office NOT DONE but at least I'm keeping up with the incoming paper

Well, so far I'm not doing good. Even without being perfectionist, this is far from satisfying. Considering how hectic my life was over the last weeks (and especially the last days) though, I'm doing ok: I've managed to keep my sanity, not gain weight, not fight with anyone... I'm in survival mode until things settle down at work and hence everywhere else.

Spring (again)

This is the not-so-great side of spring!
