5 on Friday

It seems to me that I pretty much suck in this whole blog thing, lol.  Or it could also be that I suck at writing trip reports…
Someone I used to read her blog from had this “5 on Fridays” thing.  I think I will steal that idea from her and see if I can keep up with posting at least once a week.

Since today is a Friday, here we go with my first 5 on Friday!

1. Two more weeks.  I am not counting down or anything, but it’s only 2 more weeks until my next vacation.  Flying to Miami, going on a cruise to Labadee (Haiti), Ocho Rios (Jamaica), Georgetown (Cayman Islands) and Cozumel (Mexico) on Royal Craibbean’s Liberty of the Seas.  The cruise will be followed by 6 days in Orlando, to shop and visit the Rat.  Err, Mouse that is ;-)

2. Eight more work days.  Only 8 more work days at the client, because the last two days before going on vacation, I’ll be in Paris for a training.  I am looking forward to it, because this is a training that wasn’t mandatory and that I picked out because I like the topic: Process Methodologies.  I hope it’s not too much about the basics and that I will learn more about Lean and/ or Six Sigma.

3. Six kilogram.  That’s the weight I managed to get off.  It’s not as much as I wanted, but it’s better than nothing and I can feel the difference in my clothes.  After my vacation, I’m going to join Weightwatchers again.  I have done it before, and I know it works for me (but only when I pay every week to get weighed at the meeting).  Probably because it isn’t a diet but a lifestyle and one isn’t hungry all day long.

4. One more week.  One more week until my style and colour consult session.  I am really looking forward to this!  From a previous workshop, I know that I am a summer, but I really want to learn what the good and bad colours are for me, which make-up will and won’t work, what hair colour would look good (I tried a new one last week, and while it’s not awful, it’s too dark).  I am very colour-challenged, so I really need help with this.
Also the style advise should be very helpful: what kind of skirts and tops and what not will help to hide my not so good features and accentuate my good features.  I’d love to have a more “Sex and the City” look but have no idea where to start so I hope this will help me in achieving that.

5. 99 euro.  That was the maximum I wanted to spend on a new cell phone.  My old cell phone worked perfect, and then last Sunday it didn’t want to “slide” anymore, so I had to get a new one.  I hate making phone calls and don’t use all the gadgets that many cell phones have (only calls and text messages) and I really hate to spend a lot of money on it.  I got an LG touch screen one.  It looks pretty fancy, was within my budget and I even managed to make/ accept calls and send text messages.  I am so good, it scares me to death!
