Surrounded with love

I spent a wonderful Christmas in Bretonie.
My babes and parents around,
A blessed moment.

With boots on : )

Back to my beloved pollution!

...and to my high heels (wearing them already!) and oh god, to my big BOY! Yeah, my big computer! Large screen, real keyboard and enjoyable mouse... God, that makes a difference!


I'm sorry for the lack of words here and there, on blogs, on FB. It was hard to get time to sit and enjoy. I'll take my revenge : ))

okok, I'm just posting my holiday postcards for now and relax a bit : )


During this past month, I can say I was quite relaxed, yet always thinking hard... about work mainly. Love too, sex sometimes. I'm transparent.

Not a clear blue sky in my head though, never. I enjoy that pretty much.








My devils, my demons. Loup caught in the toilets again (after 35 minutes, I start to worry!), this time with my books about pin-ups! lol. Really....... so cute!

My tigers... loved the countryside of course, and easily got used to it. We had many cuddles times and lazy times. So different from the past years. Perfect













And of course... beach stuff.
Hey it's summer after all : ))

Chocolate, Mojitos, Sex (just like everybody,huh) and ... Sport!

Holidays or not, my addiction for exercise does not fade away. Talk about addiction huh.
I might get a super short night, 5 hours, I might feel exhausted, crawling to reach my breakfast.. I'll still get my fix.

As usual thought, i gotta find time for it. Always complicate.Can't sacrifice my work and gotta be available for the devils.

In Paris, I do exercise really late in the day. Here in Bretonie, I do it super early. Sometimes at 8.00am I'm already running along the river.

One day I'll be running, the other day I'll do musculation. On the third day, I have a break though. That's about my rhythm. I really need it, that time for myself. Physical.

Pleasure is reached when pain is overcome. So good.

Lazy devil and demons

Bons baisers de Hamburg **

** From Hamburg with Love!

In two days I'm back to Paris. We've come here for a week, to stick with the family because of hard times (i won't talk of that on here, my blog is focused on the light stuff)

Enjoying Hamburg without sharp temperatures and biting snow feels like paradise. Again, I'm under the charm of the city, its rocking places, its harbour, everything's perfect (but the temperatures on wintertime!). Give me a few millions and I buy a house there, I'll watch cargos passing everyday, that really takes me high! lol : ))

It actually reminds me of Miami ... LOL  the real city, so alive, and the harbour, the wilderness so close! (Well my hearts beats for tropical Miami though! the temperatures there are simply perfect! : ))

Soon, more funny photos, more news too! :P

Faster pussycat!

if you knew how many things I gotta (want to) blog about!
My life's speed, I live with a chronometer in mind. Every minute counts. I need to walk a bit and stop running.

But anyway, I'll have a full week (next week) to blog more peacefully than usual.
In 18 minutes (lol) I gotta make a special session of body combat at my sport club, then I jump in the car for 10 hours of driving to reach Hamburg (for a week).
We'll pack the kittens too, it's gonna be fun fun fun ;-)

Really I don't know who reads my blog but be sure I have much inspiration for it, boiling mind for it. Just give me another day and I'll be back at ewws my Beaudies

(taking a minute to purr now)

Just found the keys of my bloggie!

Oh Gawd, bit dusty around here :P

February has gona like a supa fast train. I love that!

Martin has gone older. 
But hey, you know how it is with men getting older... wine etc! And that's very unfair!

 **
6 nations' Cup has just started again
So far, so good. Tomorrow, so exciting, we play England!!! yeaaaahhh!
 **
Talking of rugger... a miracle happened. A friend (she and I used to share passion for rugby and a hundred other things), a very good close friend, a sista really, that I thought lost ad vitam eternam reappeared in my life.
That makes me so deeply happy!
**
Another friend of mine (that some of you know) a Canadian pirate, a sista too has gone through very tough times. Still in the middle of it, but recovering. That broke my heart. Why life can be such a bitch with angels?!!!
**
Martin has created a blog for the kittens :P When they were born, there were 4 kittens. The plan is to make a blog with the whole gang, our 2 demons and their 2 other brothers who live in different families :)
**
I almost never talk of negative or tough stuff in here. It does not help me to share, usually. Strange huh? But I'm most concerned with Lola at the moment. She's having crisis close to epilepsy, always during the night, an hour before waking up. It happens on some irregular basis since December. 4 times in February. Thankfully, not so often, huh. But you'd see that happening, it's scary and heart breaking. Doctors haven't found yet, we're slowly but surely making progresses to discover if she suffers from terrible nightmares or something else.
**
I have spent 3 days alone in Paris during the kids'holidays. That was like a dream, you know... just time without worrying, just time for myself. But got sick during the three days lol. That sucked!
**
I have almost made an overdose with sport last week. Just too much, my body was really begging for me to stop I think. I have stopped for 2 days, now I'm back to it. Phewwww ;-)

Voilà, these were all the news aside, the news I wasn't to talk about in here. But there you go.
Now it's time to blog, for real : )

Striking back!

It's cold, it's gonna be a lot colder when I get to Hamburg in a few hours.
I don't have super warm clothes for winter... what's the point anyway? We're expecting global warming, and (phewwww!)  I'm ready for that! bikinis, sun lotion, summer giggles, etc.. in stock.

Of course I could surf on the Christmas wave and get into the magic of it... getting warm and comfortable! But... come on...  just see below where it could lead me!

 

Nonono, I could not paint anything if I wore a blanket with sleeves (look @the pic, they look like a sect!) or supa ugly boots! It's way too extreme! My mind would be disturbed, I'd get supa kitsch! (which wouldn't be that bad, I reckon! lol)

I've no real winter boots so far. It's ok, I can stand cold feet in pretty boots! ... with the only purpose to get a productive mind you see! :P

Oh and I've just received those lovely arm warmers (oh no way, don't tell me you find them ugly!). Ok, they get lots of holes in them... That's not the point! Everything's in the mind, if you decide it's warm enough, then it is , right?

Paris, a wild wolf & a running mama

After 10 days of Heaven in Miami... had to get back to a cold and grey Paris. Stop, I don't complain! I love Paris, but really in November, it sucks. I thought I would not get used to the brutal change. Thank god, Loup was very helpful, keeping me VERY busy ;-)

Lola's spending her first vacations in Hamburg, all by herself (without her mama d'amour!) at her grand parents' :)))

So Loup had a full week to torture his mama, to teach her how to become a proper knight, to explain her why telling cul all the time is so funny, why chocolate can't hurt the stomach, why I should pay him whenever we play @ playmobils (//oO\\), why it's so good for his health to eat in front of tv, why having 23 swords already (I've counted them!) is not enough when you plan to be a real knight.

God, boys are fascinating, and I truly mean it! :)))

... but they can't fool us, nenene.
Hm, well, there might be some exception :D

Still in orbit :)

I really, really did not expect my trip to be that good.
I loved it overthere. Fascinating in many ways. I'll tell you everything about it. But for the moment, I put the one of the songs that you simply hear everywhere there at the moment. Can't make 3 steps without hearing it. This one is pretty bad, actually I can tell it's crap, real sticky crap. lol. But with a fine margarita, or a cold mojito (actually you do need them to possibly enjoy these songs)...  in front of the beach, you might start moving your ass on the beat! :P

in orbit for a week

Florida, me voilà. ! ... gotta check how warm the sun can be in Miami! I'll be back with an answer :)


cheers!

Waving goodbye to lovely Bretonie

First day back in Paris... first concert (!), first friends ("Woaaaaaaa! it's been a months I've been waiting for you", so France shouted as taking me into her arms! hehe that was sweet)... first happy times with school friends for the devils, first bonjour every 3 seconds as walking outside. Paris is truly a great city to me, warm and friendly.
But cold, shit, I need sun and heat already...

I woke up 2,3 times last night, not knowing where I was anymore. Expecting strange birds to sing, old Bretonish ghosts to move around. But I'm adjusting already.

Summertime in Bretonie was really some kind of experience. And I don't talk of the sunbaths only. A total independence. Far from the family (...), far from everything. I've discovered great neighbours, some making the best drinks, the others already keeping the devils at night sometimes, and another one always bringing food for 10 when invited! lol
Then I got the visit from dear friends there, their presence changed everything. I've spent some times of true happiness.


Comfort was limited, as I had no kitchen, nothing to make the laundry, nothing to warm up the house but the fireplace. But it was fine, perfect.

The little tavern on the prairie (5 crowns!)

I had no idea what would this room become.
Suddenly it looks and feels like an old tavern, no kidding!

The old table (18th century, yeah I'm proud and I bet the table has seen lots of pretty asses! :P), the candles and oil lamps, the "ivrognier" (just the name is inspiring, I can't translate it, just know that "ivrogne"is a drunk man, an "ivrogner is some kind of old furniture in which you can put bottles). I don't have enough bottles yet. lol. Well, we have, but they never last!

There's also a Christ somewhere, I did not want him in my house. Can anyone start a petition for me? :P

Anyway, when you enter this room, you are in a tavern! You only see half of it on the pics, there's also that big fireplace in the middle of it! ... and when you start sipping your Bretonnish (or not) beverage, then you expect thieves and whores and weird creatures (like you!) anytime! I love it!














Besides, I think I beat Caroline Ingalls on her own ground (phewwwwww!): the lil tavern on the prairie sound much more cool!

The conspiracy theory

My subconscious and my body joined together and organised an evil conspiracy against me!
In the worst way, they tried (and so far succeeded) to force me to some kind of ugly laziness!!!


I was getting back to work (on my painting) on Thursday, when I washed a glass which was broken. I washed it quickly with much energy and strength in the movement. Perfect for a good clean scalp. 5 seconds later a nice bit (top middle part of my index) was lying on the sink. I know I try to make it sound horrible, but it was! lol ... I could see my tendon!!!!

It bled and bled and I took a a clean rag to press it around the finger. The devils asked me if I was going to die (told you it was tragic!)

I took the car with my bloody rag at the end of my finger and drove to join family, let the kids and found medical help. Nothing could be done, the flesh and skin were in my sink. Good, no needles involved. Oh just a needle for a vaccine later.

Anyway there's a nice hole on top of my finger and it hurts whenever I try to use my hand with pressure. I don't want to wear any bandage as recommended for 3 weeks, because when I changed it yesterday, it was stuck to the flesh and it felt really bad to take it off (me poor lil thing lol)


I could show you the wound, but hey I've not crossed that limit (*reality blog*) yet. :P

Been two days now I can't do anything because of that bloody finger! I can't do just "nothing"! No, life's short so that wound should better heal very quickly, I am like a lion(ess) in cage!

grmmmphhhh!!!

First taste

... of my river, @7.00am


I ran for one hour, up and down the hills and along the path you see on the left. Waw you couldn't imagine all the lil animals (and huge birds) I've seen!

For a moment I thought Nessie was also in the party, I've seen strange things in the water!

It's a perfect place for running, beautiful & peaceful... yet very alive (early creatures awakening, boats starting to sail, fishermen already very active to hunt the trout, etc)

I like that. It's distracting (because just running is a bit ermmm... * yawning * )

Holidays à la Candles, quick news

I've arrived in tropical Bretonie a couple of days ago. With a super bad cold (sigh), got almost rid of it now.

I spend my days working on the hobbit house... By Friday I need 2 rooms to be done so the devils can sleep there and so I can have a place to work for the painting biz.


It's exhausting, working inside like for 7 hours. I stress, push myself, never sit down and relax.
LOL. Yeah, masochist me.

Soon I'll take more time outside. But when i start something and want something done, nothing stops me. Can't stop till I get satisfaction :)

I'm getting back to it, I hope to show you soon really good results of all that work & precious sweat! : )

Challenge

ok, Loup hasn't broken his lil leg this time. Should be more kewl.
But hey, 8 weeks of holidays for kids... isn't that a kind of punishment for parents?


I will survive.

But it's LONG!
(does that make of me a bad mama???)

Les p'tits Parisiens

get back to school tomorrow!!!

So many holidays for the devils! I already see summer holidays as the big threat! lol! Hopefully this year Loup won't break his leg and I'll get much more time both enjoy these holidays while working at the same time! :)

Well even if I was really busy to make their holidays feel like holidays, I managed to work, and to do something I can almost never do: reading.





Spring feels so good. We're all sucking the sun warmth whenever we can, the winter was a bit too long.

I still haven't won the lottery, can't buy a huge artist' place to have fun and travel all around the world, but that will happen someday. For now, I'm (almost) back to work, I love it (so very lucky me to still be able to make the work I want), and will focus on making a series of dreams come true!

Spring in Bretonie ...

...meant a lot of new works in the hobbit house (I've learnt how to put tiles in the bathroom, thought it would be way harder, but it's quite easy!); Spring there also meant some unexpected weather, glorious one, and a very green garden with flowers popping out everywhere. Lovely, refreshing for the city one that I am ;-)

On the road again

hm (checking the time here), I should jump into bed soon if I want to sleep at least more than 3 hours! :P

Will be in Bretonie for 4 days. I'm really happy to join my devils, I've missed them of course. Besides, it should be..... sunny ! ... yeah no rain, no cold wind. Gonna be a shock :)

I should be there for breakfast, I like that, driving in the very early morning = not wasting time! Then we have the full day to... work on the hobbit house lol.

Well I'll be there on time if shit does not happen... unlike what happens below (I think it's a vid from just over the pond! no? :P)

Régis sort sa caravane - Video streaming

(thank you Jérôme, oh that was a good one!)
