Lame me

Today, at the 10th trip to ikea this week, we finally remembered to buy some paint for a table. I put it in my bag, as I do with all the things I buy - my wonder bag carried in its life eggs, milk, cheese, meat or other groceries, scissors, scotch tape, shampoo and what else you can imagine.
The bag is (was) big and it was the safe carrier of our valuables: car papers, gps, mobile phones, note book, bills, cigarette tools - as I roll my own cigarettes etc etc.
And you already suspect what happened. The paint has spilled all throughout the bag.
But that's not the point. The point is that when trying to save things from the paint, I was mostly concerned about my cigarette tools. And I was only thinking where to go to buy new rolling paper. Or that I could look into the garbage from some cigarette butts. Lame, isn'it it?

Dreamology

Strange dreams lately
The weirdest was with me just having given birth to a baby. I was very relaxed, so I put the baby in the bed and went for a walk. After a few hours of walking I started to panic as I realised I left a one day old baby alone in a bed. And that I don't know what to do with it. And that I didn't buy anything, no preparations at all, no diapers, no clothes, nothing. And panic panic panic. And I woke up.
Another one was with, again, a baby. His body with my head on it, it looked very weird.
And another one was with some yellow peppers. So the very next day I went to the market and bought some peppers, as I was really craving.
Now, let's not analyse anything.

I made it on the cover :)

If you are in Brussels, don't miss this month's The Bulletin, because we're in it :D We were invited to represent Romania in this issue dedicated to Europe. And the results are in these badly taken pictures, so you'll have to guess a lot.
Who finds the other monkey on the cover gets a juicy prize!
Enjoy!

Spring tra la bla yada yada

Don't know exactly what to write, I knew I'm not the blogger type :) And anyway nobody's reading, so I could write anything.
Like bla bla yada yada tra la la.

Spring in Bruxelles is not bad at all, 2 more weeks and everything will be completely green. This means longer walks in the parks and of course, a lot of good vibe.
Spring always makes me a bit lazy and dreamy, but I manage somehow to focus and get things done. We have a new project that I'll share later on, flowers are blooming and being delivered, so there is a lot of work, not complaining here.
Plus all the administrative stuff: end of trimestre calculations, changing the car plates into belgian ones, clean the house, eat, laundry etc etc. And also leave some time for the beers hanging out chatting nonsense part. Which is my favorite.

It's spring and boy, we're so busy!

long time no mood or another random one

but I have a guilty conscience. so here it is briefly.
- we're oficially belgian residents for 5 years - which is a lot, we could have easily received only 1 year. an engineer's degree (obviously not mine) opens many doors here. so it was very ok. we didn't need most of the papers we so desperately prepared before coming to belgium, but you never know. and of course, the photo on my new id is awful.
- my laptop broke down, so I had to buy a new one. it was not the best time to spend so much, but hell, when is it? at least i like it very much (yes, there are also good PCs) although the french keyboard gives me headaches - what i wrote so far took me at least 10 minutes, so my next post will be when me and the new keyboard will be friends.
- my cooking improved a little, at least i'm not afraid of it anymore. and my new york cheesecake was very good. i should make another one these days.

that's it for now. au revoir!
