Little wolf's new trick

Haaa, what a lil devil!
It's been 3 nights now that we go to bed, happily, just the 2 of us, you know. Kinda NORMAL.
But when we wake up in the morning, it's (black) magic, we're not 2, but 3 in the bed!

In the middle of the night, Loup manages somehow to jump above his baby bed, without making any single noise, and quietly, in a very dark flat, finds his way to our bed, where he just quietly joins!
There's nothing we can do against that simply because we do not realize the trick when it happens!


(no worries, Loup is safe and well trained to clean the windows here
That was our revenge trick today :P
)

What do you want to do when you grow up?

When I was a lil one, I never dreamt of being a doc, or a cop, or a famous actress.
I think I did not have such a dream at all.
And I was kinda jealous of those who knew exactly what they wanted to do.
Well, at least I had no frustration later (such dreams almost never comes true!)

A miracle happened, much later!

I became a doc, a cop (lol), an actress sometimes, a clown, an adventurer, an artist, an entertainer, a philosopher, a show girl, a nurse, and so much more: I became a mama!!!!!

I would have never thought of that 20 years ago ...and I'm still surprised!

The carrot at the end of the week...

...is the weekend! huhu!


...and next weekend will be something ... simply because we've no plans. Nothing. Except a meeting at Lola's school, a birthday at friends' for the kids, one Midsomer Murders, 3 Lost, lots of cuddles here and there, and rugger, lots of rugger too.. Specially tomorrow evening, England vs South Africa, bloody exciting! (I would almost support my Roastbeefs friends there... jocking ;-)

I'm also happy for Loup that the weekend starts. It's been a bit tough for him at the kindergarten.. When he's there, he keeps asking for his mama, puts his shoes on, takes his coat hoping to join me, etc.. and he just struggles so much when we leave to go there... :(

A blue lil fairy among the roses

Lola is really the only one to wear a blue tutu during her dance classes!

Wearing pink, playing with pink stuff, etc., is more than just a fashion at their age, more than an attitude, it's the way they look at life I think.
No stress, no threat, no worries, no violence, love, prince charming, hearts, sweetness, mamas and papas, dolls, giggles, first lil secrets with girlfriends, optimism, beliefs, fairy tales, candies.
... Life in pink!

And when I see Lola, life in pink is not as boring as it sounds, trust me :)
I cross my bits so that Lola can enjoy a pink-ish life as long as possible, with lovely blue touches here and there..

Counting sheep

I usually sleep rather well. But yesterday, without planning it, I entered the realm of the Insomnia, the real one! And I can say I explored it for a while.
I went to bed at about 1.30am, and last time I checked my watch, it was 4.30am..

After less than 3 hours of sleep, I said hello to an horrible zombie in the mirror..huuu...
I'm kinda happy this day is almost over now!

Here's my lullaby for tonight. The song is really lovely, and I KNOW it will inspire me.

Life can be sweet

Loup is back from Bretagne (after 4 days). Phewwww, I missed him!
We've just shared a couple of hours of cuddles and games and giggles. It feels wunnerful!

While he was still away though, we decided to spend a *perfect* Sunday.
So yesterday we joined friends (Oli and Tanja from Hamburg) in the center of Paris. We had a great meal at Le Paradis du fruit, a place where I was sure to find some vegetarian food for our friends. I hadn't been there for 15 years maybe, and it was pretty kewl, Lola loved the "Paradis terrestre" menu :)
And I fell in love with their orange pie + chocolate. It was a culinary miracle! Warm pie, close to a clafoutis with oranges, with creme anglaise and a delicious chocolate on top of all that.

We've also been caught by the rugger fever there, South Africa/Samoa. Just great!
Later Lola and Martin went to cinema and I came back home to work on my book. A fine fine day.


(btw, thanks to all the Springbokers who posed for me!)

80% is done!

... 80% of my new book :P
Now I have to put everything in the computer, choose the fonts, add the text and mix this nice cocktail to get a nice result.
I show you a bit more of the first page, that won't tell you much, but give you an idea. The text will be really included into the illustrations.

A *free* evening, croustillants, mangue et Brouilly

Loup is away for the weekend. He's with his grand'ma, paying a visit to the sheep in Bretagne :)
That was very unexpected (a last minute idea), and as soon as he left we made a reservation in a great lil restaurant not far!

So first thing we made was having a great diner, to celebrate Martin and I's first meeting (9 years ago). Well actually we remembered the day after the restaurant there was this event to celebrate! lol

Lola was so happy that she decided she had to go there with her crown. The dinner was perfect, from the glass of champ' to the scalop of foie gras with fresh figs, etc. The only mistake was my choice for a veal's liver, it came certainly not from a young veal, and was not as good as we make it!

Okies, a few pics to give you an idea of the happy moment.
(please, notice Lola's pose here, that's now the ONLY way she pose for photographs now and she highly recommends it to everybody!)







Between the legs ...

... of the Eiffel Tower :


(photo taken by Martin yesterday)

We lost our first match yesterday, but t'is ok I'm ready to support any other winning team ;-)
Just a pity it was not as fun to watch as expected. Next match: New-Zealand/Italia, I think I have to support Italia against the Invincible !

Oh, and here's what Lola started to draw the other day at the restaurant. We never really talk of rugby at home, so we opened HUGE eyes when we saw that. It was her teacher who explained them what was rugby! lol! Good point for the teacher!
:P

Something's happening today ( ? )



and if you like rugby and photography (well or if you're just curious, huh ;-), I really advise you to check the wunnerful links on Mahie's blog, just here

new first times!

Lola's first time today is named classic danse!
It was her idea, I'm not at all pushing her to make as many activities as possible, just the opposite, having fun at her age is what matters.
But she wanted so much to try it! I asked her if she wasn't more into judo, and she looked at me as if I was talking another language, rolling eyes and all. lol

I can't wait to see how it happens!


(her shoes HAD to be pink of course, and her tutu too, but we failed here ;-)

And Loup's first time today is named straight in the target
My lil devil peed for the first time in the real toilets! An important detail in a man's life!

(proud mama here!)

Ouch !

For my new book, I've abandoned watercolour to use pens. And that's bloody exciting (but really :P) !
I hope to show you soon the result with one of these new illustrations (probably before the end of the week).

The thing is, I can't tell about anything yet, but I might get more involved in some seious illustrations works again... and I might have to work a lot in very short periods of time.
So I needed to find helpful equipment, like these beaudiful pens.



I got about 50 of them at a pretty good price.
Wanna know the price?
Yes, of course.
hehe
I had them for a total amount of 170 euros!!!!


You'll tell me if you like the result... I'd better hurry now to finish that new book!

Misssh von Tease

I've sometimes wondered about the popularity of miss Von Teese

Dita

What do you think about her by the way?
(yeah I know, it's one of my *whathefook topic* days :P)

Dita von Teese rhymes with ...
orgies
quickies
zombies
cheese
candies
ladies
beauties
see the results



dunno.. she's like THE new generation pin-up, but there's nothing glamorous in her to me, she'd rather scare with the her you've-been-a-bad-bad-boy hard face! Brrrr!
(but maybe that's precisely what men enjoy in her :P)

Rugger cup 2007, final countdown!

5 days and we're there!

I've been a few times in stadiums to watch rugby, great for the atmosphere, but I really prefer it on TV.
Well, I love sport on TV! (même pas honte ;-)



(I watch it with Martin -in case you wonder who plays with the batteries here-)

I've always loved rugby and I think it was really the game itself that seduced me at the beginning (then came the calendars, etc )

And we still watch it whenever we can.

Oh, and Loup, 22 months-old, has played rugger for the first time this week... and that was fun! He just tackled (plaquer) his lil friend at the right moment every time his lil rugby partner got the ball!)

(but I don't want my baby to start with rugby any time! I wouldn't stand the injuries and the violence of it!)

I wish I could recommend the new calendar, but the front picture (I thought the guy was peeing on the ball! huuuuu...) is really not motivating enough! Too much make-up, ridiculous pose. What a pity! We only wanna them running nekkid in the prairies!**

Anyway... the best is to come. And that is really the exciting part!

(love that lil video below! :P)



** well if you get details about the calendar, you still have my email address, huh :P

The never ending story

When I finished my studies, I thought I would never heard of school again. No more teacher, pressure for exams, etc.
Now I'm a mama, I feel I'm starting a new cycle with school! Different, but probably more stressing!!!



The end of holidays, that's something.
Saying goodbye to yellow brick roads, etc. Pfff, not fun!

Lola will start her last year in kindergarten on Monday and Loup will start on Tuesday at the creche (he will go there 2 mornings/week, he and I should survive that ;-)

but well, I still hate school ...
(and I'm happy my kids can't read English yet :P)

One more for the pleasure ?

Because it's Saturday, because Loup is having a nap and Lola is at a birthday party (the birthdays season start early here! or does it ever stop really, huhu)

It's quiet around, we're enjoying some yummy chocolate with a cup of cawffee.
And Mika's singing the beaudy of life. Paradise!

Are you good at selling yourself?

Because I am not at all, when it comes to my work!
I've been offered yesterday to expose my published books in a shop and I answered I did not find them good enough..

REALLY!

(sigh)
I really think my first works are not that good. Or is it a total lack of confidence? I wonder.
I feel I'm very objective when it comes to my own work, and when it's crap, it really is.

pffff

I think if I sell 10 paintings today, I will run to that shop and give them hundreds of books to expose.
And I might win lottery too one day. And put a foot land my bum on the moon too.
Who knows!

My booze-fuelled romp with footie star *

While I'm waiting patiently for another book (about kids' literature business) to be delivered, here are the three one I'm about to start! I just can't decide myself about Potter (I want to know the end of it!) or Blood knight (which belongs to one of the most exciting series I've read so far)



I will definitely improve my slang between 2 chapters anyway. So please forgive my English if I use strange words from time to time.

Some expressions (like the title: * ma nuit d'amour et d'ivresse avec une star du football) do not seem very easy to use in everyday conversations, but that's a detail. It's going to be very funny! I'm all excited to learn all these new words! Yeeehaaaaaa

New hair cut ...

... and home-made!
Loup is being such a tiger when we go to the hairdresser that I give up with that.
The other day I decided to cut his hair myself. I started, Martin finished, watta team! Loup was watching tv while eating honey pops. it worked very well!

See the result!



(see the difference?!! come on !)

Popcorn and tomatoes

It was my lucky turn to take Lola to watch a movie last weekend!
Our choice was Ratatouille and I did not regret it! We spent a great moment! Lola was just old enough to watch it I think, for youngers it might be a bit long, dunno.



The movie was visually fantastic and the topic just my kind of topic! :P
It was also very nice to discover Paris via the talented guys from Pixar.

Oh I don't know if you've seen the movie, but in it there's this shop with dead rats behind the window... I had completly forgotten about it, but it exists, I remembered about it instantly!



awful!
(ermm, I don't want to be a rat in my next life, thank you...)
edit: (...except in a Pixar movie, huh!)

Double shock for the shrimpette

Yesterday we took the kids to the zoo, they loved it of course.

Except when I took Lola to the vivarium, she wasn't afraid of the snakes and other lovely pets, but... we came across the home of a big lizard with the shape of a dragon, and just in front of our nose, behind the glass was a baby mouse literally taping her lil hands against the glass wall to desperately escape her fate!
First shock for Lola, how someone could have done that to the lil mouse!

Then I told her to not worry, the lil mouse will join Joe and have a happy life on the clouds with him.
Ha yusss.
Oh but (slapping meself) stoopid me!
Joe is (was) our cat!

Second shock for Lola, Paradise might not be as expected..

argggg...

and now on the cute side of life:

Loup taming his first hippo, checking carefully how his teeth are doing (ok, the hippo is fake, which you can guess only if you have ever been around a real yawning hippo! No one can survive that!)



And here is the most adorable red panda, which reminded me of the Pompoko's tanukis! (Pompoko, what a wunnerful film! One of my fav'!)



Look at his lil face! awww! :P

I could be violet sky

I had never paid attention to Mika really, the name, the guy, nothing inspired me really.
But then it's been a few weeks I've listened to what he does and finally, I've got inspired! Even the name, even the guy! Refreshing, full of energy, just what I need sometimes to make my time with the devils more relaxing!



Martin says he does not like it at all, but tssss he will dance on it before the end of the month (it's the ABBA syndrome, you can't escape it!)

one long, huge, endless week

...before school starts again!
Kids are getting wild and I have no idea where they get their energy from! I make them run and scream everywhere, I take them wherever I can, etc... hoping at the end of the day they'll be exhausted, but nenene, nothing works!

The worst is when they start fighting against each other, or focusing their energy on me! Yeeehaaaaa mama is having 1 minute of break on the sofa, let's entertain her!



I am the exhausted one at the end of the day!

I even found myself with bleeding lips 2 days ago because of Loup having fun punching what/whoever around him! really!

I wanna school to start and suck all the energy of my lil devils! (Loup will start kindergarten twice a week, which is not much but enough to give me a break!)
:P

Short night

Lola did not sleep well last night.
Same for us, naturally.
After waking up 2 times, I couldn't sleep anymore. Insomnia is having fun with the blogwriters it seems. (sigh)

I couldn't close my eyes and I started to think (eeeck). And my mind suddenly was stuck to the small place we live in. Or rather the lack of space of the place we live in.
We can't afford for more space (55m²), and it's kinda too small for 4 people.
We can't move from Paris for the moment, because of work. We can't change of flat, too expensive, we can't go to Paris suburbs, almost as expensive.
I think of getting whatever job to bring more money. But what if the money is used for baby-sitters? that would simply make things worse.
Yawn.

I finally slept like 4 hours.

I woke up like a zombie.
But all the dark thoughts had vanished! The miracle of sunny mornings!
Small space, but happy life. That's what matters at the end.

Show me your bits part #2 : your wallpaper

After the handbag/pocket thingie, why not sharing with us your desktop wallpaper on your bloggie?
I know there have been a lot of games like that, but I think (thinking hard) it's a good opportunity for you to get rid of the dust from your desktop and to show us THE wallpaper that sticks to your computer, and then to yourself (mais qu'est-ce qu'on s'amuse, oulala!)

For once, Martin and I have really close wallpapers (and I only realize that now I write this post!) I like a lot Martin's Cylon here! I will steal it, some day :P


Martin's desktop


mine

I've been looking for a new one for ages. And this is just what I wanted! (in case you wonder, it is from princesse mononoke/ mononoke-hime)

About 30 pages

that will be the *size* of my new book for children.
I've finished with the basic work (text and doodles), that means 20% of the work is done.

Next step: working on the illustrations, details and colors. Pffff! I hope I'll finish it in less than a month! Lots of work here (almost same amount of pleasure though ;-)

Girls celebrate (sunny bananas dance on its way)

...ladies blush, and men get upset : Jack's back with his new bloggie!

I think the whole world already know about it ;-), but in case you missed that piece of news, it's here! Enjoy!

Psshhhhit, and you thought all this publicity would be for free, hm?

edit: oh and it's our lucky day, there's another bloggie from Jack-the-inspired-writer! A very interesting project, you can chere here !

Battlestar Galactica : the girls !

Except JL and Benoit, I don't think any other around here has followed the new Battlestar Galatica (and well,you miss something, really! :P)

We've just finished with the third season and it's been beyond what we could expect. Science fiction at its best!
For the fans only (who cares, otherwise!), here's a lil video with the main female-ish characters of the series (it happened during the last Comic-Con. There's also (a bad bad) Xena in the gang of Battlestar! Wooooo! hehe



What next? more of Lost and Prison Break, we're a season late with dem!

It's in the bag!

aka allez hop on vide son sac

Following Mahie's (GREAT) idea, here's what I carry in my bag wherever I go.
I don't care so much about exposing you "my" stuff, but I would love to discover what's in your bag or in your pockets!
That's the idea you know, I show you mine, you show me yours (not getting salacious again, m'enfin!!!)... hehe



you will notice here:
my wallet, a marker, a pen, my diary, kleenex, aspirins, tic tacs, arnica (homoeopathies stuff for the kids), 2 lipsticks, my mobile (well, it should be there! :P), apartment keys, car keys, pills, eye lotion, plasters, and carousel tickets.

Your turn to play the lil game! Even if you only have a wallet in your pocket! :P

gimme my chef's hat ...

... because I finally made a REALLY good strawberry pie! :P
Which means I found the key to make a purfect short pastry (pâte brisée): using hard butter (=not melted) cut into small pieces.

There are things that when they're home-made just taste 100% better! ...like (trying not to get salacious here ), mayonnaise, vinaigrette, pastries (short, flaky), guacamole, pizzas, etc. I wish I was a "born chef" with an instinct for cooking, you know (but, nenene, I always need books!)

I know a pair (or two :P) who was absobloodilutely satisfied with this strawberry pie
(such a pleasure to cook a lil something that does not taste just weird or unusually strange!)

Better than a diagnosis from the doctors

My grand-mama has been in hospital for 4 days now, but she'll be out in 2 days.
She had problems with blood pressure, but nothing alarming.

The problem is that we're in August, everybody's on vacation, so there were no relative around to take care of her. Only my sister and I. But it's complicate with our kids around. She's in an hospital in the middle of nowhere (near Paris), and children are not accepted where she is.

Sooo, we couldn't come and take care of her before yesterday.
Gweno (my sis) took care of the kids and Martin and I went to see her.

After 5 minutes, Martin was sleeping in front of my very-talkative grand-mother.
Literally sleeping!
lol
My grand-mama asked me if he wanted to lie on the hospital bed to have a good nap.


so, I think THIS was the proof everything was ok, really... As usual my grand-mother's talks had broken Martin in a minimum of time!

Julia, Cesar, Rosalie, etc

Voilà I've finished sorting my 500 photos!
Here are the last 3 online albums from our vacation (I recommend you to used the slideshow tool btw) :)

1. Sheep from Ouessant
From the moment we tried to find Ouessant sheep farmers on the internet (back in May) to the final meeting with the selected farmer (2 weeks ago), we learnt a LOT about these lil sheep! I think we now know almost enough to turn ourselves into sheep farmers, if we want one day!


New lambs in the family


2. Breton Sunset
These are not the most interesting photos, but every evening, I just couldn't stop admiring these beauties from the sky!

Sunsets (made in Bretagne)


3. Our work on the hobbit house
these are the most frustrating photos. I think we've worked so much everyday that we forgot to take pics really! How frustrating!
Here you will see some part only of our work: we got our new doors and shutters, (which means lot of patience, cement, concrete, sandpaper, blue painting, white spirit, etc)
HUGE work (surtout le ponçage)which took a lot of time.
We've also finished all the renovation of the walls in the living room, with lime (pierres apparentes et joints à la chaux).
We've started to build an outside wall, with stones, for the terrasse (which is still a mess for the moment), and worked on the rain waters exhaust system. We've also varnished (to protect them from insects and give light to their original colour) all the wood lintels (les linteaux, les poutres en bois au dessus des portes, des fenêtres)

Well, we've done a lot, and all the official works to get connected to the mains (tout à l'égoût) should start in a month or so. THAT will also be a main change.
The problem (cough cough), is that we're running out of money for the works in the hobbit house! That's another problem, but I have confidence in lottery :P

A blue hobbit house

First summerish photo album

more than 500 photos, huh. Digit cam are wunnerful, but in the old times you just had a 24 photos film and you were happy with it! lol

I've selected less than 20 pictures, about just the 4 of us here. I must say Martin and I spent 6 hours working in the hobbit house everyday, so these pics do not tell everything about our holidays. Other albums to come

Sourires made in Bretagne

Random songs tralalaquizz

Directly from Mel', here's THE quizz of the week!

The rule of the game: you get questions and you answer with random songs titles.
(using your MP3, puter or stereo -lol the last one sounds a bit like stone age)
You do NOT chose the songs, you just use the random function and write down for each question the title of the next song that comes. And then you can comment it.

I'll just turn my dusty yahoo radio and click on next song.
It should be funny or lead to some nonsense; let's goooooo:

1.How do you feel today?
Metamorphosis One (from Battlestar Gallactica series)
into metamorphosis could be the way I feel just everyday when I think of it!

2.Will your life be successful ?
I can't hardly wait (Juliette Lewis & the Licks)
Well, I'm married to the man of my dreams and we get 2 adorable devils, it is already sucessful to me! But I "can hardly wait" to be a famous painter :P

3.How do your friends see you?
Hotel California (Eagles)
The song was about drug and addiction, no? I doubt any of my friend is that addicted! lol

4.What's the favorite song of your best friend?
Highschool Lover (Air)
maybe!

5.What's the story of your life?
Love her madly (the Doors)
let's make it "Love them madly" ;-)

6.How was it back at school?
Surfin' on a Rocket (Air)
erm, it was kewl, but not THAT kewl

7.What's the best thing about your friends?
Mr Moon (Jamiroquai)
The best thing is they're all very different and all bring their precious differences in my life

8.What's your plan next weekend?
No excuses (Alice in Chains)
no, no excuses. My grand-ma is in hospital since last night (she was not feeling ok), so we'll take care of her next weekend.

9.How would you describe your grand-parents?
Light my way (Audioslave)
Hmm, not sure it still work this way ;-)

10. How's your life?
Dirty Hary (Gorrillaz)
Hm, no, not a song for my life, I'd rather chose hmmm this one because I really still have sand in my shoes!

11.What song for your funerals?
I cannot believe it's true (Phil Collins)
lol! And I can't believe I've phil collins in my radio, but why not after all

lol! Just a perfect title for the way I see other kids in my life ;-)

17.What song for a strip-tease?
Knockin' on Heaven's door (the Guns')

You should try the quizz!

Unpacking the luggage (wanna join)?

Why did I take so much luggage, I wonder!
(I know I had been warned about it! grrmppphh)

Anyway, I'm back, happy and motivated, even if I feel a bit exhausted tonight (you know how holidays can be, huh ;-)

Soooo, I'm on my way to sit lazily and watch some SF and think about nothing except baddies and goodies :)

Yeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

PS: my bloglines notifier tells me my fav bloggers have written more than 180 new messages! Wooaaaaaa! You've been over-active, you blogging creatures!
