An ode to my name
I have not been a very reliable writer I have to say… bit bad really. But life seems so boring if you have to write it down after you’ve been trough it already! However, I had a lovely weekend, with a lot of laughs, dressing up (like a guy for cryin’ out loud), champagne, seeing old friends, sleep, and Dutch TV. Yeah, that’s right…this girl has realized she can watch Dutch TV for free on her laptop! It is like I have found a massive treasure! It’s cool, because after cooking and having dinner, I can curl up in bed with Big Brother, Expedition Robinson, and Nieuw Dier (jesus, soooo goooood!! The Dutch version of Little Britain really).
Then, on Monday, A. calls me for a glass of wine. Every time she returns from Holland, she text me last minute! Thank God I could make it last two times, but I’m about to tell her off ;) (I need to know up front if I can handle a night out again!)
Anyway, that evening ended up in bed ALL DAY Tuesday! No real hangover though, if that’s what you think! I woke up at 9 (after snoozing since 7.15am)…hahahaha…recognize that Lalo?… Had brekkie at 10 and went back to bed…and re-entered this world at 5pm!!!!!!!!! 5PM!!!!!!!!!! That’s the only GOOD thing about the PhD you know: only work when you’re conscious!
Anyway, I was a bit shocked though. But also realized that if something like this happens, it was bound to happen. My body needed it. And I gave it to her! Go girl!! :D
Then I opened my emails and guess what… another message from the past. From a friend who I had last seen at least 10 years ago!!!! He google-ed and found me!!! (Luc en Carla… herinneren jullie je Ivo nog??) Life’s full of surprises!
Mum, dad… I want to thank you for my name.
After 29 years, this moment has finally come…
