When I see this, I just *know* I need a new game. Don't you want to play too?

Then again, I just don't like playing RPGs online with thousands of other players. Especially if I don't know any of them. Er. I know, that could be a bit of a problem, if you're into roleplaying games. But hey, I loved Baldur's Gate, I loved Planescape:Torment. And I played them solo. So there. I'm just an anti-social gamer!

Happy second wedding anniversary to Pieter and me!

Two years ago, I got married - and I didn't even know yet that Olivier (in the tiniest possible form) was there too!

Oooo yes, it's perfect today. The editorial department and me will be going to the beach! We're going to make & paint our own kites, fly them and have a BBQ after - and it's hot out there! Yeeehaa!

Sun cream, anyone?

... and then he surpised us all and walked!!

He'd been practising for a while now, but today, he did it for real. Let go of the table and step step stepped to me! And to Pieter and to me and back again! He can't stop. You should see the triumphant look on his little face!

He cries, and cries, and cries some more. And then: hey, look! It's another molar!

Sigh...

***

Also. You get up at 7 because he's crying and wide awake. You're fed up with him by 9. What to do? Hell if I know.

(Playpen. That's it. He's now sitting in it, fiddling with a stuffed animal. (He must be really sick. When did he ever play with a stuffed animal? The only one he likes is that really tiny hedgehog we got him at IKEA's, and even that is just for bedtime.))

***

Or: feed him banana and apple. Makes him very happy. New energy and all that.

Because I said I would. And because I wanted to write something (got to keep this blog alive) but was completely & utterly uninspired:

Our kitchen before...


... and after!


There's still that ugly hole above the stove that needs work, but we're not going to talk about that here. It took the good kitchen installation firm boys five whole days to build in this kitchen anyhow. (Just for reference: our kitchen must be one of the smallest on earth.) Five days... Poor guys.

O! O! Before you go, I need you to see our sink too. You know what? Why not take a look at all of my House & Garden pics. Everyone's bored *sometimes*. What better way to waste some time?

Life is two weeks of snot. Followed by one and a half week without snot, but with a fever, because we're making molars here. After that, it's snot again. Repeat.

Still, we do love each other. To bits, actually.

Hi! If you're looking for pictures of Oliviers second year (so far), they've been moved to my Flickr account!

The first year's still at the old address.

End of service announcement!

I eat. I sleep. I work. I play. That's it. Maybe I'll have something interesting to report soon.

Or maybe not.

Did you know that our kitchen is almost finished? Yes, it's true. I've even got the pictures to prove it. Maybe I'll post them soon. Or maybe not. Heh.
