1. My Florida vacations are doomed. Really. First time I went, I had back problems and could hardly move. Second time, I fell down the stairs 2 weeks before the trip, broke my ankle and went on crutches while in a cast (I now know that that was a stupid idea, I should have stayed home). Third trip, I had a good vacation until the last day where I fell and spent 4 months at home.ยต
This time, meaning leaving next Saturday, everything looked good. I still have not broken anything, no… But there happens to be a volcano in Iceland who decided to become active. I hope by next Saturday the sky has cleared and the airlines are flying as normal. If this trip is going to be ruined by an exploding volcano, I will also explode.
2. Tomorrow is my style & colour session => yeay! On Monday, I already had the first follow up session regarding the use of Artistry products. You have to put your head in a box with special lighting that allows looking “under” the skin. Well, using those products has improved my skin a lot. It is still not perfect, but I’m felling way better and prettier.
3. Next week, I will be going 2 days to Paris for a training. I really hope it will be interesting and fun. I will leave Thursday morning early by Thalys (train) and coming back Friday evening by Thalys too. It will be late by the time I will get home, so I will have to make sure I am somewhat prepared regarding my packing.
4. Packing. I really should start this weekend, at least to see if I need to last-minute buy some things. I don’t like to pack early, but this time, I really should get organized. Want to bet I don’t do anything this weekend and will just freak out next Friday around midnight?
5. I have butterflies. I can’t do the whole story on a public place like this blog is. But I have butterflies. :-)

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!
