… takes the morning train…

Yep, my son started at the Radboud University of Nijmegen this week.

He leaves home every morning on bike. At the station, he takes the train
to Nijmegen and there he takes a bus to the University… and of course the
other way around when the colleges are finished. (it takes one-and-a-half
hour from home to University where he studies “Artificial Intelligence”)

We have breakfast together, I have my coffee and the moment he waves
goodbye, I start my writing job.

Strange, how fast you can fall in a routine, isn’t it?

HAPPY (NON)BIRTHDAY MICHELLE!!!

Oh-my-oh-dear….

I really thought today was  my friend’s (and co-teacher in the new workshop!)
birthday… but I learned yesterday that I had the date all wrong.
It was August 21 – Bummer!
I planned this birthday post to show you the card I made for her birthday,
and send you all over to Michelle’s blog to cheer… and now I’m too late

But HA… I know it’s her HUBBY’S birthday today, so there’s still celebration
going on in the LaPoint-Rydell house… YEAY!
So hop on over to Michelle anyway and send some extra love for Michael!

Happy birthday Michael!

And to the both of you… we may get older but we are still “wild at heart!”

…’cause look who came home yesterday!!!

There’s nothing
more to wish for
when you’re a
mother then to
have your boy
back home
safe and sound.

And see how tall
he “grew”

*teehee*

He wore
cowboy boots!

With a heel, indeed.
I look waaaay smaller then I am – ahem…
Oh, you curious ones… alrighty, I’m 5′6″)

And there’s more good news… OH MY…
it seemed all the good things came right my way this week!

Ever since she said YESSSS (almost 4 months ago)
I’ve been walking around with a big smile on my face.
We’ve been having “secret chat sessions”.
We’ve been brainstorming.
We exchanged ideas and concepts.
We started preparing, creating and writing
and we laughed.
BOY did we laugh a lot!

What is this all about, you might ask, and who is “she”?

Most of you guessed it already: I’ve been in Zeeland the past few days!
My dad was here last Monday and I took the opportunity to ride back
home with him to stay a few days with him and my mom and visit my
friend Lena. I took my camera with me and although I always do that
when I visit my parents, most of the time I forget to take pics while I’m
there. But this time I actually used the camera and took some photos!
(Remember you can click on the photos to enlarge)

Here’s one of me
that shows the
overall feeling
I had while being
in Zeeland…
relaxed and
easy going!

See that orange
vest? I saw it in
a boutique and
it screamed to me
“I am made for you”
- and since my mom
thought so too
she bought it for me!

Thanks so much mom,
I LOVE IT!

…short break!

Something nice came along so you won’t find a post today.
Be back on Friday to show you the photos!

Have a nice week!

A lot of you filled out my little poll in the right side menu already,
THANKS!!! (If you don’t know what it’s about, please read my
former post and fill out this poll! Your opinion is highly appreciated!!!)

I’m so glad I asked for your opinion! It’s getting clear now that I should
do something about the colour of the type I’m using for my posts so
chances are that this will be the last post in the “light grey type”…
I’ll decide on a new colour after the weekend.

..

On to the good stuff…
