Snapped Year

I'm back

2011-11-09T15:34:00.000+01:00

Folks, I'm back.
Think it could help me to get through all struggles of life to just shout out it loud (well, more or less)

My newest thing is my own weightloss challenge: Getting rid of 10 pounds till christmas/my b-day.
Hope I'll have enough consistence to keep on my points plan.

Thursday is weigh-in day. So we'll see if see first "new" week was okay...

Bye for now!

As time goes by...

2011-06-14T22:25:00.000+02:00

Long time no see...

I think I really should write a little more. I have to find a way to get "my day out of my mind". And how could it be better than writing everything down? And by the way:I really need to write a bit more in english for not to forget how to do... ;o)

Monday Mayhem

1. What do you think would happen if the sun were to rise in the west and set in the east one day?
Everything will be upside down I guess..

2. Are you tired of everyone talking about New Years resolutions when you know darn well they have no chance with them?
Oh, yeah. So much. That's why I don't make any for myself...

3. What is the most repeated meme question around?
Can't tell. Haven't done memes for ages.

4. Coke or Pepsi?
Either. As long as it's sugarfree. But Pepsi needs to be cooled, otherwise it doesn't taste good.

5. What should we do about kids screaming and running around in stores?
Screaming and running with them ;o)

6. Ever write graffiti (messages on walls)? If so what did you write?
I did on school trips. It was surely kind of "I was here" or stuff like that. Hey we were kids!

7. Is there really a "fat gene" or is that a figment of my excuses imagination?
Ha! Now you got me. So I wouldn't say my overweight just because "fat gene". It's less of exercise plus wrong/too much food. But for me it's harder to stay slim than other people. All girls of our family are "big"...
BUT I allready lost 20 pounds. So it's not only the "fat gene"...

8. Do you know of anyone or have you been subjected to anyone who thinks they can sing but cannot? What is a good way to get out of letting that person continue to sing in our presence?
Luckily I don't know one. It's enough watching the talent-shows on telly ;o)

9. Are you happy that the "holiday's" are over?
Yes and no.

10. What is the best thing about January?
Is there something? Never thought bout that.

Okay, tired now. Need to go to bed.
Good N8!

Impressions from the train stop

2011-01-03T21:46:00.000+01:00

Waiting for the train to take me home after work.
My office lies next to the A-road, so what you see are the cars and trucks rushing by. But it was quite cold! Brrr..

Sleepy head...

2011-01-02T21:26:00.007+01:00

After being sick the last day (No, not coz of too much party!!), I needed a bit extra sleep today. And Mr.C caught me...:o)

Do you still remember the first person you kissed?
Oh yeah, I do. But uuh, it wasn't nice.... ;o)
Would you rather take the picture or be in the picture?
At the moment rather take it than being in it. Ask me again when I left 40 lbs...(more bout that later...)
Has anyone ever called you lazy?
Yeah, my mom, whenever I didn't want to clean up my room *g*
Has anyone told you a secret this week?

Who was the last person to make you mad?
My new colleague. She thinks she's better than all others... Bitchiness you see? ;o)

The really best one I have is sitting next to me. It's Mr. C. But my best friend Mrs. B is about 3 kilometers away. And my other best friend Mrs. J is living in England.
Would you rather swim in the ocean or a lake?
As long as the water is nice, I don't prefer one. Oh, wait I like the surf! So, I would say the ocean.

Reste-Essen

2011-01-01T23:31:00.001+01:00

For that we had Raclette yesterday (we nearly have every New Year's Eve *yummy*) we had "Reste Essen" today.Yummy again...
PS: "Reste"="Leftover", "Essen"="Food" ;o)

Happy New Year....

2011-01-01T22:29:00.004+01:00

Happy New Year 2011

The same procedure as last year, Miss Sophie? The same procedure as EVERY year, James!

(For them of you who don't know this quote: It's from " Dinner for One " - a famous comedy sketch here in germany always shown on telly at new year's eve)

So my every year's procedure is NOT to make any new year's solutions. I don't keep on them anyway ;o)
The next thing is trying to keep on writing my blog. I start it nearly every year and really really want to keep on it. But it doesn't last long... :o(
So I hope I'll do it this year. At least a picture a day. Taken on that day for sure.
We'll see... :o)

So, that's all for now, off to watch some telly...

Sch... Wetter...

2010-09-07T10:29:00.000+02:00

Das Wetter heute ist so richtig bescheiden. Dauerregen und auch nicht wirklich warm. Da möchte man viel lieber zuhause auf dem Sofa mit Schatzi kuscheln. Erst recht nach ner "schlecht-geschlafen-Nacht". Schnief. Naja, leider geht es selten danach was man möchte....

Jaja, ich bin ja schon groß...

2010-09-06T21:25:00.000+02:00

Na toll. Hab heute von meinem HNO-Arzt erfahren, dass ich ne Woche im Krankenhaus bleiben muss, wenn meine Nasenscheidewand gerichtet werden muss.
Ja, klar ich bin schon groß. Aber trotzdem kommen mir die Tränen beim Gedanken daran, dass ich ne Woche alleine schlafen muss. So ganz ohne Chrissie. Ich weiß ich bin verrückt. Aber ihm geht's ähnlich. Wir haben die letzten 6 Jahre so gut wie keine Nacht alleine verbracht. Oh weh, naja, ich bin ja schon groß. Ich schaff das schon... :-S

Neue Woche - aber nich wirklich besser

2010-09-06T12:01:00.001+02:00

Na die Woche startet doch super. Aufstehen mit Kopfschmerzen ist wunderbar. Und dann ist auch die Chefin aus dem Urlaub wieder da. Und der andere Senior-Chef (eigentlich ja gar nich richtiger Chef aber eben Vater von Chefin und deswegen natürlich ganz wichtig und eben Chef - meint er) ist schon wieder schlecht gelaunt und sucht die Fehler der Arbeitnehmer. Dieser Mensch ist einfach nur unangenehm.

Und dann muss ich heute nachmittag auch noch zum Allergietest. Echt käse schon wieder alles.
Naja, wenigstens ist das Wetter heute besser...

Ich kram jetzt erstmal in meiner Tasche ob ich noch 'ne Schmerztablette finde.... :(

Zum Glück hab ich noch eine. Wär sonst auch blöd gewesen. Jetzt muss sie nur noch anfangen zu wirken... ;)

And I try try try...

2010-09-05T17:41:00.000+02:00

Although I really tried to, I didn't write regulary. But I think I really should. It helps me to sort out my feelings and thought. So if you don't mind, it could be I write in german. Coz this is my mother tongue and it's easier to write my thoughts down.
I'll try to translate my words in english as soon as possible but can't promise.
So hope to see you soon!

Love, Sonny

Meme: Booking through Thursday

Welcome to my first BTT.
Todays question:

So … you’re halfway through a book and you’re hating it. It’s boring. It’s trite. It’s badly written. But … you’ve invested all this time to reading the first half.
What do you do? Read the second half? Just to finish out the story? Find out what happens?
Or, cut your losses and dump the second half?

And here is my answer:

That depends on my actual mood. AND if I already have another book waiting to be read.
If I'm in a good mood I'll finish the story - hoping that the end might be better than the beginning. Hope dies last ;o)
But if I don't feel well and I already have another book waiting for me I'll dump second half.
Luckily, I haven't had a bad book for long time. But that is coz I'll ask me sister to borrow me books. We have quite the same liking when it comes to books. So if she didn't like the book she normally won't pass it on to me except I'll really really ask her for.

So, that's my answer. Hope you liked it. Please come back if you find time.
Oh, and comments are very welcome!!!!

TV-Time

2010-05-04T21:30:00.001+02:00

Like (nearly) every tuesday night we hanging around at home, relax and watching House MD. We love it. Allthough I'm not sure if I like to have a doctor like him when I'm at hospital... ;o)

Dog-sitting

2010-05-03T21:00:00.000+02:00

Today all my plans got discomfitted by my dad. He called right when I wanted to go home from work and asked me to look after bennie coz he had to go to hospital with my niece and her mom. Fienchen had an accident while been swimming and hurt her girlie parts. So I rushed to my dad's house and spent the whole afternoon til seven there until my dad turned back home.
But luckily everything is okay with our little girl and no bad injuries.

Barbecue - the "light version"

2010-05-02T21:30:00.001+02:00

We had Barbecue today. And for that I love barbecues but still doing weight watchers® I'm trying not to have so much high calory food. So for me I chose pepper filled with rice and chicken breast. Topped with some selfmade low fat herbed butter. Yummy. (Btw, chris got the "normal" version)

May Wine

2010-05-01T20:12:00.000+02:00

Today is first of may. This means for (nearly) everyone day off. It's Labour day. And as I am a quite traditional girl - at least when it comes to celebration-traditions ;o) - I serve May Wine today.

It's soooo yummy... We love it!

A photo a day....

2010-05-01T18:32:00.002+02:00

Okay, from now on I really try to post at least a photo every day with a short comment why it was taken/what it shows. If I have time, I'll even write some more or take part in meme or so.

So I hope you visit my blog to leave a nice word for me. I will stop by at your site too to say hello.

Hugs, Sonny

Thursday Thirteen - What's in my bag

2010-01-21T16:59:00.001+01:00

Welcome back!

Today is a "girlie-one":

13 Things that are (nearly) always in my bag

my mobile - If I forget it at home a feel kind of naked... (weird I know)
my i-pod - It sometimes happens I forget it at home coz at night I'm listening to audio books (and I admit they are for children - like three questionsmarks) with it to fall asleep easier
my little moleskin calendar - I have a special one, coz on mine Chrissie wrote a special note just for me, so I'm sure no one will have exact the same ;o)
a little (well not that little to be honest)"emergency"-box - it includes plasters, pain reliefs (I hate headaches!!!), antiallergics, little thingies girls need once a month, nailpolish remover wipes, nailglue, scrunchy and hair grips and some more little helpers- you see everything a girl could need in emergency... :o)
My esprit pen
My WeightWatchers Diary
chewing gum - I hate bad breath!!
dog treats - I love dogs ;o)
my sony cybershot - forgot it today, that's why I can't show you pics of my stuff (coz I'm not at home at the moment, maybe I'll update this later)
a WeightWatchers bar - mostly "rich toffee" coz I like it most (and so I can avoid points-trap)
my purse - Allthough it's quite empty at the moment... Just been shopping ;-)
tissues
nail polish - just in case... ;o)

...and to be honest there's always lots of more stuff in it. The problem with us girls is that we always have a bag that wayyyyyy tooooo big! We'll never find a thing when need it... Well, that's my experience. ;o)

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you liked my list. I'm just off to WeightWatchers Meeting now..

Hungry...

I forgot my sandwich at home this morning. I only had some pineapple chunks to eat. I was sooo hungry when we got home after work. I. Am. Scatterbrained.

The same procedure as last year?

2010-01-04T23:46:00.001+01:00

First time back at work after season's holiday...

And it WAS the same procedure as last year:

But for that I decided not to get too stressed this year

(we'll see how long this new year's resolution will last *wink*) I just sorted everything out and so I managed the chaos (again...)
