I have this serious "where my life is at"-post in my head, but still no time to write it. Busy with work, Reverse Bang artwork and preparing for the big trip to Australia (in TWO WEEKS!). This is just a quick picspammy update before I crawl into bed early to get ready for my family's Sinterklaas celebrations in The Hague tomorrow.

FRIDAY
Dyed my hair yesterday and I wasn't going to take pictures this time (since it was just a touch up for traveling;) but I simply had to show you the funky black gloves that were in the package of dye.
Beware: I also couldn't resist making a photo of the result... )

SATURDAY
Today I went to Amsterdam to help out brotherdearest and his girlfriend with yet another move. Their landlord suddenly had to sell the house, so they were practically kicked out. Luckily they managed to find another apartment at a great location; it has a view over a canal!
In between moving stuff, building a bookcase and hanging up shelves, I went into town (to pick up a present for tomorrow) and had a wonderful hour by myself of checking out yet another part of the city.
It was gorgeous weather for photos! (Of sites, not people;) )

The end.

Night, night! (Expect a picspam of family-fun tomorrow;)

Dyed my hair yesterday - after letting the grey show for about a year and a half now, I wanted to be a redhead again;) Here's a photoset of the before, during and after...

To get my online life a little bit more organized, I want to start doing weekly updates in this journal. Not sure how long I'll keep it up, I'll probably mostly translate and summarize the daily blah from my Dutch blog, only the most interesting bits of course;) )

Ugh, I'm so done with being sick. I haven't had a good night's sleep in five days, I can just about catch my breath in between attacks of the barking cough and I'm exhausted. Obviously I feel guilty as hell for being sick in the one week where I had tons of work scheduled (and okay, fine I'm a control freak and wish I could do my own project) so I made arrangements with the bossman for tomorrow that he will come and get me if the coworker gets too overwhelmed. If that happens my mom will pick me back up from work. There is just no way I will survive a bicycle and busride to and/or from work, but I'm sure I can do my project if they just get me behind my Mac. We'll see what happens. Shut up.

Last week I got a haircut and I promised some of you pictures, so here they are )

My mum was sweet enough to get me some groceries, so if you'll excuse me, I'm going to have a popsicle before bedtime. Because it's soothing for my throat, like medicine. IT IS!

Got my hair cut today. Last time I went into a hairdresser's was over two and a half years ago. Before that was even longer in between cuts, so I guess it's progress;)
I had been thinking about getting a trim for a while and when I passed the hairdresser's on my break this afternoon I stepped inside just to see how scary it was. I got a good feeling about the woman that talked to me and when she said I could make an appointment for tonight, I decided to do it before I lost my nerve again;)

I think I bit my lip the whole session, but the young woman who cut my hair was very patient and understanding and made me feel at ease. I had to give up about 15 cm (about 6 inches) but my hair looks so much better for it - and I'm still able to twist it into a bun, so yay! May even consider doing upkeep every few months now. Not such a bad experience this time.

Check out the result!
(No before pictures, but it kind of looked like the 2009 edition, so click link above to compare;)

My head feels weird. But in a good way;)

I think I'm (close to) ovulating; I'm hungry and horny all the time, it's exhausting, so I'm hanging on the couch tonight. Only got up to post pictures of my new haircolour: I'm a redhead again;)

Yes, I heard the snippet of the new Panic! at the Disco single, but I need to listen to it more to form an opinion. So far I'm glad to hear it has a beat:)

Does anyone else have an issue with truckloads of spamcomments these past few days?

So after whining about my food issue this afternoon I decided to get busy in the kitchen. If I was gonna eat, I might as well put some work into it;) I made poffertjes!

It's a Dutch specialty: tiny pancakes, mmmm )

I ate them while I watched the last two episodes of CSI on the big screen. (zOMG, if you've seen 'm, let's talk?) and was very satisfied afterwards. Good dinner:)

I'm not sure if I mentioned my sadness about the haircut here, I think I only tweeted about it? Anyway, I posted pics of my new style braid. If you can even call it a braid

I also tweeted about receiving the vinyl LP of my DeLuxe edition of Pretty.Odd. I think I'm still supposed to get a CD/DVD as well, but the awesome design of the albumcover was already worth the money (including shipping and handling): Look how pretty!
