I've actually always hated it ... only when I was 14, 15 and more, I found it kewl enough to go back to school and have fun with the gangs of friends!
I hope my babes will love it more!
Tomorrow's our last day of holiday. Well, I was impatiently waiting for school to be back, so here I am.
But I had forgotten when your lil one start with school, it's a new separation. And mamas are not that made for separations with their babes.
Anyway, Loup will start at school, Lola will start with serious school, and I will run to never be too late here and there.
All that means too I'll be back *at work*, even if that means my own lil biz, I've to make it work, huh ;-)
School sucks!
(but you keep that for yourself, huh :P)

Tell me everything about your summerish juke-box, I mean MP3 !
Dunno but sometimes on summer, like on every season, there are bands, songs, to which we stick.
What music did you really enjoy during summertime?
Music tastes being so personal, so different from one person to another, so close to the inner self (I think), I expect very different answers from ewws.
Personally, I've got completely addicted to 2 bands/singers.
None of them was really of Martin's tastes, so I think our trips by car were not that fun to him... (of course I insisted to put MY music!)
I really but REALLY fell in love with 1 band and one album.
The band is Rammstein, industrial metal stuff (pssshit, don't run away!), and the other one is an album by Moby (baaa, don't run away again!), Hotel, which is absolutely incredible. I fell in love with every song of it, which I did not expect one second.
Here are 2 videos,
One of my favourite by Rammstein, in which SnowWhite is a quite dominating junkie
and another from Moby's Hotel. Unfortunately there are no videos of my fav songs in it. But if you're tempted, just get it. No way you can regret it :P

Fitz-ish !
Today I woke up, and so the computers did, just as usual.
And quite early in the morning (sowwwy we're that addicted, yup)... who am I talking with?
........ Fitz!
You don't know him (except you Ariel and maybe Jack and Kiki too, hmm?), but he's a friend of mine since at least 12 years! Which also means people start to get long-term-friendly-relationship via the internet!
We've spent so much time together online with other American friends. It was a fine gang, helped me a lot to improve my English slang ;-)
I remember most of my wages were spent at the time for huge telephone bills. lol. (je me tapais quand même des factures de 3000 balles!)
Anyway, Fitz is one of the nicest person I know (and I don't say that only because he used to send me kilos and kilos of candies from Texas).
I met him too once, had a very fine dinner in Paris.
But we had lost contact for 3 years... and then this morning he was just there online!
I was as surprised as if I had met him in the street!
Great surprise.
I bless, kiss, cuddle the Internet for the few excellent friends I've met on it!

Get a lil something moving between your teeth ?
(yup I can write glamorous titles)
Not so long ago, I had some wunnerful lunch with friends, blogs' friends. A few of them are born chefs, they love cooking!
At some point, were were talking of salad, most of them mentioning they never eat salad conditioned in plastic bag.
I nodded with the others, hehe... But my inner self blushed, realising the last time I prepared a *free* salad, I was maybe 14 years-old and it was for my grand-ma. Since then I only took the tasteless washed ones imprisoned in their in plastic bag.
Soooo, once back home, I decided to try the real salads.
Haaaa beautiful, gorgeous salads!
I quickly remembered (hellllo city goil) and realized that I could not just cut the salad and serve it.
There were lots of little people in my gorgeous salad!
I had to wash it, huh. (hellllo city goil #2)
But the little people loved their shower apparently.
I gave the salad a good bath then.
Same activity on the leafs!
Haaaa, but I had forgotten vinegar. Poured some in the water.
hm.
Waited.
Observed.
Got impatient.
I still had a more crispy salad than expected!
Ok, the taste of it is so much better... troooooe troooooe! ... But, any idea how I can easily (without sweating, getting mad and swearing) get rid of the little people in them?
yumm! :P
PS: this was not my salad, huh! hehe

And if my salad didn't really frighten you...
...then what about this wunnerful creation?

The artist-designer, who lives in Hamburg, represents a perfect cocktail to me: creativity + inspiration + gift + perfect technics.
And I'm definitely jealous of such talent!

What about a retro haircut, hm?
Don't you find this photo absolutely fascinating?
(and I don't say that only because my hubby's on it :P)
Back in the late 1980s, Martin (the cutie on the left :P) is posing with 3 friends, the smiling girl was the lil sis of his girlfriend, the 2 others, 2 friends of the time.
I gotta mention the scooter was Martin's (he's very proud of it)
-men and vroom vroom gadgets - tssss - shaking head -
Too bad we can't see really Martin here because he had a very kewl haircut -he says-, a long horn on top!
The pic was taken in the (old) tunnel under the Elbe. Woooaaaaa!
I really do love the photo, so representative of a generation, of a time, of a mood.
I could say they're all very cute actually, but then I'd feel way too old.
No, they're kewl, simply kewl :)
(Martin, what was the favourite music of this gang, can you remember? just curious! ;-)

Another very first time ...
...for Lola, whose first tooth has just fallen (and the 3 other front teeth are moving! 
)
...and for I, who had to suddenly wear the little mouse's outfit (our *tooth fairies* have round ears and simply luuuve cheese :P)
Lola was soooo proud, losing a tooth was like winning a medal! Now she can't wait to go to school to show it :)
And I made a pretty good job as a mouse, despite the stress of waking up the devils in the middle of the night :D

Fried eggs à la Candy
Voilà, in French when you have small boobies, we say you have fried eggs (oeufs au plat)...
Actually, I have just lost one "bra size", and I understand you don't care at all about it... but in a woman's life, that's not just a detail! Oh nenene! That's drama, TRAGEDY!!!
...
Good point is that ... tomorrow I need, absobloodilutely need to go for shopping!
Summer bits
Honestly, with the fookin weather we have in Paris, I can hardly remember what it feels to lie down in the sun :(
...which did not happen that often during our holidays anyway!
Here are the pics...
(you gotta click on "slideshow" once there, okies? :P)

My Parisian mason ...
(watta posh title!)
... is 1.60m tall, blond, blue eyes, lovely suntan, probably younger than I am. She (yup "she") wears jeans just like mines, was careful and pleasant. We talked of masonry as we could have talked of whatever.
Times have changed, huh!
That's kewl!
And my bathroom should be repaired before the end of ... next month! :P

Where is my Bobby Poppins (aka perfect babysitter) when I need him?
Apparently, the lil devils do not need to recover from their wild holidays...nope..not at all... unlike their broken mama!
Besides, the pollution makes my eyes so sore that I don't know anymore whether I can't open them because I'm exhausted or not. Life's hard sometimes ;-)
Soooo I guess I'll need another couple of days before sorting out my summer pics and share them around here. But the deal is ... naturally I show you mine if you show me yours, huh
During the holidays, there is that lil film we made, where I have some interesting dialogue with an oyster (why the hell am I talking of that again?), (oh yuss, that was a transition! :P)... but instead I'll show you this one I've found the other day :P

I insist, my karma is just fine!
I'm back and already blogging! Yeeehaaaaa!
Voilà, that was the positive touch of that post :-)
Now, I worked soooo much during the last days (hobbit house stuff) that my left arm has gone on strike. Will refuse to do anything! Been 3 days. grmmmphhh!
So unpacking luggage will take more time than expected. Much more time even since we've faced a lil problem when we arrived... No more ceiling in our bathroom. I mean the ceiling was there, rrrrrright, but on the floor! Shiteroo!!!
GRRRMMMPPPHHHHH !
well, it could have been worse... me with both arms blocked and useless, and the ceiling that could have fallen while singing under the shower.
Soooooooooo, t'is not THAT bad!
Yeah, I'm kinda happy to be back..
