pretty merry

this week.

 

These are the moments from my seventh week of 2015. All photos were taken with my iPhone.

 

1. Monday / the happiest mail ever. A's aunt sent over a big package. there may or may not have been jumping up and down and squealing involved when it got opened.

 

2. Tuesday / no words needed. sunset when leaving the office.

 

3. Wednesday / thin sliced potatoes in a baking dish, on top of it spinach, Brussels sprouts, thin sliced zucchini, tuna from the can, mozzarella, another layer of thin sliced potatoes. on the very top sour cream and parmigiano. baked. yum. and Chinese cabbage and baby spinach as a salad, with a mayo-yogurt-sour cream-mustard dressing. and macarons. a simple Wednesday lunch/dinner. and oh, no, I didn't make the macarons ;)

 

4. Thursday / Spanish class and 'oraciones temporales'. a nice evening followed.

 

5. Friday / a very very short nap on a Friday afternoon turned to a very long nap. a very needed one. recharging my batteries is on my to do list. under urgent.

 

6. Saturday / sea bream for lunch. quick, healthy and so good. on an easy rainy Saturday.

 

7. Sunday / movie night! with popcorn, of course. the movie we've watched was Turist. it was ... different. I liked it. 

champagne for everybody!

 

rainbows. unicorns. glitter. cake for breakfast. and champagne. champagne is always the answer.

bring it on, 34!

this week.

 

 

These are the moments from my sixth week of 2015. All photos were taken with my iPhone.

Since this post is a.g.a.i.n. prepared way after the week's end, I am thinking of changing the series' title with 'that week' ... but then again, as long as the memories are recorded, better late as never :)

 

1. Monday / days are getting longer. it is so nice to leave the office when the sun is still up. semi-up, at least. counting down to spring :)

 

2. Tuesday / this is how weekly meetings in our office look like sometimes.

 

3. Wednesday / the first in this year. the first of many, haha.

 

4. Thursday / good times with my Spanish classmates. champagne and Spanish tortilla were involved as well.

 

5. Friday / a total American Beauty plastic bag scene in the morning. when I managed to pull out the phone and take a picture, the bag was just back on the ground, but I stood there for a few minutes and watched it twirl in the wind. brought back some nice memories (I know ... I don't need much for that). a nice way to start a day.

 

6. Saturday / lunch for one. and enjoying a super slow Saturday home alone.

 

7. Sunday / sun was peaking through the clouds all day and then when I finally managed to get up from the couch and get out, I was rewarded with crisp and nice wintery air. a long walk did me good.

I've loved this song ever since I first saw the movie City of Angels. each following time I've watched it (and by that I mean I've watched it A LOT of times) I loved it even more. and each time I hear it on the radio or through my playlists I have to listen to it with volume way up and if I have a chance (and by that I mean if I am totally alone and no one is listening) I sing it at the top of my lungs and it usually stays with me a couple of days ... like this time.

 

 

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
When sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you'd bleed just to know you're alive

this week.

 

These are the moments from my fifth week of 2015. All photos were taken with my iPhone.

 

1. Monday / is there any better thing to start your Monday with than with a donut? well ... there probably is, but this was quite nice as well.

 

2. Tuesday / somebody asked me if I deliberately plan other things on Tuesday and avoid my pilates sessions ... hmmm ... not deliberately, no, haha. but, the massage was even more necessary.

 

3. Wednesday / my office sometimes looks like this.

 

4. Thursday / dinner. wine. internetS. almost like a date. almost.

 

5. Friday / new hair. and a great Friday night.

 

6. Saturday / the necessary groceries shopping before watching Boyhood and eating popcorn. I liked the movie a lot. haven't seen all of the Oscar nominees yet, though, so I can't judge, but ... it's a very good movie and I loved the idea that it was filmed through 12 years.   

 

7. Sunday / Australia Open finals in my pjs. #teamdjokovic
