TTMMD: Friday - 03/05/10 -

On Friday, there's a show on German TV where some German celebrities talk about how they got 18 and what was up in the years they got 18. At 18, you're grown up in Germany and allowed to do anything: drink every kind of alcohol, smoke, vote, etc.

And one song was "Do the Limbo Dance" by David Hasselhoff - do you remember? hihi That was fun! (Unfortunately, I cannot find the video anywhere *sniff*)


So now instead I will post the "Lambada" by Kaoma - I really love this song :-)

5QF - 03/05/10

Yay, Friday and it's time for Mama M.'s 5 Question Friday. Join in :-)



5QF is my bedtime sweets every Friday and so here we go:

1. What's your guilty pleasure?
> Blogging. Just like that. And playing games like Farmville and Sims.

2. What is your favorite TV series?
> Just one? Series is plural, isn't it? ;-)
I love SatC (who doesn't...) and Lipstick Jungle and Two and a half Men. I can watch them always, again and again.

3. Can you speak any foreign languages?
> Sure! English *g* and French and very few words Italian and Spanish. (Originally, I wanted to be a translator and interpreter and if I needn't go to University I'd work with translation now...)

4. How many pairs of shoes do you own?
> Not much. Really not. About 30 maybe. I don't know exactly - and I won't go and count them coz my summy shoes are stocked in the basement *gg*

5. What's your favorite kind of M&M's...peanut, almond, straight up regular, etc.?
> The classic ones. The yellow package things. Those are the REAL M&M's.
I want some. Now. Damn :-(

Have a wonderful weekend!

TTMMD: Thursday - 03/04/10 -

Yesterday night, they showed "When Harry met Sally" on TV and so I want to share a lovely quote from this movie with you.

>>When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible<<

Good Night :-)

Recipe: Buttermilk Cake

Jade mentioned a nice homepage with a challenge yesterday and I love it! So I'm going to join in, too.



My recipe is a buttermilk sheet cake - easy and very yummy! It's a "cup" cake which means the ingredients are measured with a cup. Please use a normal coffee/tea cup like this (no mug!).

Ingredients:
4 cups of wheat flour
1 sachet of baking powder
3 cups of sugar
3 eggs
1 pack of buttermilk (500 grams)

Preheat the oven to 190°C/374°F.
Mix all ingredients and fill the smooth dough on a sheet. Now, dredge the dough with cinnamon-sugar and flaked almonds.
Put it in the oven for 20-25 minutes.

Enjoy! :-)

TTMYD - 03/02/10 -

It Tuesday and so it's time for Things That Make Your Day!

It's easy to join in. Just tell me what made/makes you day today. Write a blog post and link up with the MckLinky underneath or leave a comment.

D and hubby are making my day. D's smile and that he's playing so nicely. And hopefully my brother will make my day when he will repair the shutter strap in D's room ;-)

So now it's your turn to let the world know the TTMYD!

Imaginativeness

(what a cool word...)

If I wouldn't know it better, I'd say I'm pregnant.
Yes, all symptoms are there and it feels real: I'm totally tired and am able to sleep the whole day through, I'm always hungry and could eat a bunch of food and I'm still hungry and there's a dragging pain in my underbelly.
But to face reality I know that it's impossible. Maybe it's really just imaginativeness coz I really wish to be pregnant now.
Hubby looked at me with horror when I told him about those symptoms. He thinks it's too early to be pregnant again. And there are some insecurities with his job as they want to reduce their loan and working hours. If they really vote it through than we're in real trouble and we need to say good-bye to another kid. I need to get back to work then.

I do hesitate if I should do a pregnancy test so that I'm really sure. I really wish to get pregnant again, having a sibling for D as he likes kids really much, getting another aggregation of hubby and me. On the other side it's a big financial risk and I'm not sure if I can challenge so much trouble...

Doing A Poll

Hi there!
I'm doing a poll because I'm curious what you'd prefer. Just click to join in. I will post the result withing the next week.




Thanks for joining in :-)

Saturday Night

Good morning world! Hope you had a great weekend and did enjoy it. I did :-)

Saturday afternoon we took D to the in-laws as he'd stayed with them until Sunday. It was the first time he stayed there over night and so I wrote my IL an "instruction manual" when D is eating, going to bed and waking up. All those things that are daily routine but the grandparents don't know. Usually, D stays with my parents once a month that we can go out. But we are invited to a wedding party (my mom's godchild) and we won't take D with us. So he needs somewhere to stay and the IL are a good solution. But we decided it's best if they'll do a trial sleep-over-night that both of them get used to it a bit - in case that it won't work or questions come up. But everything was fine and so I'll do not need to worry.

After we took D there we were out for dinner at a nice Italian restaurant (I think the regular readers already found out that we love Italian restaurants...). Then we picked up some friends and got to a billard hall to play billards and table football. We had a lot of fun although we found out we're not used to this anymore. I was sooo tired and they were, too. Finally, we got to a bar as well. But this was such a wrong decision. I'm sure we raised the average age for about 5 years (we are between 28 and 35). The music was quite loud and we wondered that House music is still up to date. Our cocktails took hours to arrive. But we laughed quite much at those teens, especially at the girls with their deep neckline and high-heels they couldn't walk in.
Although we were tired and "old" we had a blast and enjoyed it very much :-) It was a nice night out and I think we will do this somewhen again!

Sunday, we were able to sleep in and have a wonderful breakfast before picking up D.

So, the weekend was really gread and I did enjoy it very, very much!

Have a wonderful Monday and a good start into this first week of March (time's flying fast, isn't it?)!
