And RL starts again … May 12, 2009

For the past two weeks I could easily abandon that thing which internet people call Real Life (RL for short) :daydream: . Today, however, RL, started again and this morning I went back to work. Still coming back slowly to work fulltime, I only work Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Just before the two week break, Tuesday mornings came with it. Though I loved I could abandon RL, in time it wasn’t actually bad to be back at work and I rather enjoyed myself .
The thing I do is give gymnastics to my class, and after that, I’ll be firstly helping children from my own class, and later children from another class. At least, that’s what I’ve talked through with a collegue. Tomorrow, I will be back to teaching 21 children again :duck: .

On a brighter note, after a two week absense, dancing class will start tomorrow again as well :dance: . I’ve really, really missed that. I can’t understand I’ve survived two weeks without dancing . Well, technically I’ve survived those two weeks, but then again, I have been being a pain to my neighbours, since I did the dancing in my appartment . I just can’t wait what my dance teacher has planned for tomorrow evening…
I’ve also been thinking of going to archery class :archer: . I’ve been thinking about this for years really, and I finally discovered there’s a archery club near my place. Found their website, and you can take 8 lessons to see if you like it, before you become a member. Used the contact form to let them know I was interested and two weeks later I still hadn’t heard from them. So, I decided to contact them again. This time four weeks went by and I still received no word :raisedeye: . This time I tried to look for a telephone number, but no luck, so once again I contacted them by the email form. So far no word yet … :sigh:

I did get word about my medieval clothing. Wednesday I got note that the money had arrived, and the clothes would be posted that day. I expected them to arrive at my place around Friday, but to my surprise they came the next day already . Hopefully I can take pictures of them this weekend and post them. Now I want this medieval looking travelbag with it, but I will have to make one my one, because the ones I’ve found are of leather, and I’d rather have a fabric one (cream-coloured). And of course I want it to be totally me, so I’ve been in search of cross stitch patterns of celtic/medieval like, but so far I haven’t found anything to my liking. I still have got about eleven months left, because that’s when I will need it for the Elf Fantasy Fair . Any ideas are welcomed .

A month has gone by September 28, 2008

It’s unbelievable, September is almost gone, October will begin. Two more weeks of work and I’ll be having my autumn break. I’ll be going on a very small vacation, to Edinburgh. Looking forward to that, though it means I’ll have to leave my lovely cats in someone else’s capable hands. Yes cats. Last Friday I went to the animal shelter and I found this adorble cat. Approximately one year old. It’s a male, they called him Skunkie, but I’m considering of calling him Borre. Nah, scratch the considering, I’m pretty sure I will call him Borre. I can pick him up this upcoming Tuesday, since they found him and then they have to keep him in for fourteen days, incase someone comes looking for him. He’s black with white, and even a little bit of grey. As soon as the little fellow is home, I try to take a photo of him.

As you might have noticed, there’s another layout, but more importantly, I’m trying once again to have my blog at my own webspace. That way I can do way more with it, have my own made themes, add more plugins etc, etc. Now I’m just hoping people will leave my site alone. I’ve had it with all the hackers and if I hear a person telling me he is one, he’d better run! I’ve uploaded the posts I’ve made at the other blog, so those have not gone lost. I do hope another layout will come up soon. I do like this one, but I made one of which I’m very fond with Artisteer, however witht he free version I get it watermarked . Anyone care to help me with that?

I’ve been lacking… August 24, 2008

I know, I know, I’ve been lacking on giving updates on how the appartment is going. Not all pictures are uploaded to Photobucket yet, but most have. I simply don’t have the time to put them here in my blog. I want to move to my appartment before my summerbreak ends, and that means I only have one week to go. Four days to be precize. My goal is to move upcoming Tuesday, and hopefulle the floor will be finished then.

Next weekend, will be my only real break, just before I have to start work again. I’ll be going to the DoeDans Festival in Biddinghuizen (The Netherlands). It’s a folklore dance festival, where lots and lots of people come to, to learn new folklore dances. I’ll be going with friends from dancing class. Hopefully all of us can go, since one of them has landed back into hospital with an infection after she has been operated. 
The Festival is special, because most of the time a new cd with new folklore dances will be released (Mix 9 this time). And no, it’s not only for people over 50 . More and more teenagers and people in their twenties will be choosing this side of dancing. I didn’t really choose it to do, since my mum made me do it when I was almost four years old. But I did choose to keep doing it during highschool and college.

And then, September 1st, work starts again. A new class, new parents to deal with, my third year on this school. It’s somewhat scary, but it’s also great to start with a class full of new children. Of course I already know the children by name (most of them anyway ), but it will be totally different. Don’t get me wrong, eventhough I did had hard times in the two years I had my children, I had also a lot of great times with them, but starting fresh is always a good thing.

At the moment I’m writing this, I’m at my mum’s computer, which still holds a lot of my old things from at least four years ago. I’ve rediscovered things of which I think would be fun to make/do again. One of them is the online trading card game scene. However, now looking for sites, didn’t give me any. At the time I’ve started to make my own trading card game of one of the acresses I was (and still am) a big fan off: Rachel Blakely. The most known shows she appeared in are: Neighbours and The Lost World. I’ve been a big The Lost World fan five to seven years ago, and now I kind of rediscovered it, watching episodes I really liked and posting on the forum again. Back to the TCG, I’m thinking of finishing it and maybe I do something with it on my website. I’m not sure. Perhaps if there’re people on the board who like the idea and are willing to participate, I will.

Well, I better end this rambling. A new day tomorrow, to try and finish the floor in my appartment. Rise and shine early for me.

Eastern is over … March 25, 2008

… and the full hassle of a work week has begun again. And how. When I woke up this morning the whole street had turned a shade of white. It has been, and still is, snowing. At 7.00 am there already was a lot of chaos in traffic and it was adviced to stay of the roads during the traffic rush. Which is, of course, from 7.30 am till 9.00 am . Could you tell me how a teacher, who has to be at work at 8.00 am tops, will be able to stay of the roads during the traiffic rush. Don’t let me laugh, that’s nearly impossible.
Any, I arrived without any scratches and begun my teaching day. All went well, however, the snow made children a bit hectic and crazy. Which, of course, is quite understandable.

And not only my workday has started. I got an email with a new house hunting search. However, the ones I’d liked to see where already sold, and of one we are still awaiting his/her answer to the email my real estate agent sent. My time will come, my time will come, my time will come. And if I keep repeating that sentence, I actually might start to believe in it.

The people at my webhost also started their workday. Apparently my very angry email to them has helped, because today, when I got home I had an email back. Of course all has to do with the spam emails. Please, people, tell me, what is so much fun of sending spam emails through someone else’s site? Because clearly I miss the humor of it. Anyway, the site is back online (http://www.whispering-words.com) but on an hiatus. I’m simply to busy at the moment to update the whole thing again. I’m really considering to keep my blog here at WordPress.Com and use the site for my artwork and fanfiction. That way I can’t use all kinds of scripts which are going to be helping hackers to use my domain for their no-good-email-sending. And the name is still quite good, since I’m still kind of whispering words with my stories.
