Journey To The Past

As my younger brother moved in with my parents again (he's in the mid-twenties and has had his own apartment for about 5 years now - but his apartment was sold so he needed to move. Don't ask me why he moved in with our parents but well, he did...), my parents needed to tidy up a bit. The room my brother lives in now was a storage room for everything, a cluttered storage room in the basement. So my parents started to sort things out first, separated my things from my brother's and theirs and put it in another basement room which is the guest room (which is used not often).
So as my pregnant cousin and her husband are going to visit us next weekend my mom forced me to sort my stuff out. She asked me quite often in the last weeks but I dodged it - until yesterday.
I went over to my parent's house to meet my past packed up in boxes. I hate journeys to the past. Inconvenient...
As I started to unpack the boxes, I found some old books from school (elementary to training school) and self-made pictures from elemantary school and other things for the garbage bag. And I found some old letters from an ex-boyfriend and letters from former pen pals - I asked my mom to burn them up. I also found my old Barbies and their clothes, my favorite doll named Sissi (like the Austrian Empress) and her clothes, some stuffed animals which I want to keep because they mean something to me.
About 3 hours later my journey to the past was done. I found many pictures and things which reminded me of some happy and funny and sad moments in my life. I'm glad that I did this journey yesterday and enjoyed it much although it was work. I kept books and pictures of those moments I was happy in and put the unlucky moments into the garbage bag - I sorted out my life and it feels good.
This was my first step and I hope the next steps will continue :-)

Getting To Know You - 08/15/10

Usually, I do not post on weekends - but today I will. Luckily, Hubby took D. to my PIL and so there's plenty of time to blog and read blogs :-)

I decided to join in Keely's "Getting To Know YOU" today...




1. What kind of athlete has the hottest body?
> Soccer players and swimmers

2. Are you a planner or a procrastinator?
> Definitely a planner...

3. Diet or regular (soda)?
> Regular - I don't like the diet cokes or whatever.

4. What's your one "must have" for Fall?
> A great fitting Jeans.

5. What's your favorite fast food restaurant?
> McDonald's. There's not much else near here (just a Burger King).

6. What do you think is the sexiest profession for a guy?
> Steel worker. You know, these guys building up a skyscraper in one day and walking on the steel beams like it's the most safest spot on earth...

7. Did you wear braces?
> Nope

8. Would you rather have a guy that's super sexy or kind?
> Well, both would be great... Kind is important but could be too much somewhen - super sexy is great but you need to take care. So if I have to choose I'd say super sexy ;-)

Enjoy your sunday now!

(I need to do some housework like ironing or something. Otherwise hubby rants again that I am too lazy. Hope time flies by until he needs to start work!)

5QF - 08/13/10

Yay after a looooooong break I'll be back joining in Mama M.'s Five Question Friday!
I need to confess that I really missed this thing :-)




So, here we go:

1. Have you ever visited another country?
> Yes. I've been to France, Italy, Hungary, Austria, Spain, The Netherlands, Denmark for holidays.

2. Where is the strangest place you have ever been?
> The apartment of my former boyfriend's ex-wife. Odd situation, odd place...

3. What is your favorite season?
> Spring. Flowers and trees are blooming, the weather is sweet.

4. What one song will always cheer you up?
> Puh, just one? Guess Meat Loaf's "I'd do anything for Love" is one of those. And "Forever Young" by Alphaville.

5. What Disney character do you resemble most?
> The Beast... (just from the inside *g*) I really mean it. It is forced to act as it does but it still has a great heart. Guess I do not look like a Disney character...

Hop over and join in :-)

Have a wonderful day and a great weekend!
