Icy times

We went home from Kitzbuehel sunday late morning and did a nice drive with the car - decided to stop at Tegernsee and did a nice walk there by the sea..... found this

more sweeties.....

Sweet ones :)

summer feeling? no - wishing it was summer ....

 

Today I am really looking forward for summer - stumbeling over this photos make me wish wearing tops and shorts :)

Doing or not doing - that's the todays question.....

Normally I am not "proud" of photos I've taken - and I am not "proud" of how I edited them - like here in this collage. But every time I stumble over this one I think I should print it on canvas - and in a really big way - like 120 cm X 80 cm - walls now we have enough LOL...

Sweetie Ben - got his "Betthupferl" before he went to bed - and is looking what Max gets...

New years kinds .....

Playing around .....

Love playing around these times - finally found my way (and time) back..... Now time to do a few nice shots again....

 

Let the new year begin.......

.... so I am back!!!!!! Hopefully!!!!!!! I had one wish on new years eve - a little more time for myself and I found out that its not a thing that we can wish - its a thing we have to do for ourselves: TAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF - nothing can be more important than taking time for yourself. If you need a rest - take it - if you need a nap - take it - if you are tired- go to bed.
To be honest I am in an age where you can see if you don't have enough time for yourself..... sadly but truely I found out that I am looking "older" these days and I won't complain and whine around - I know the reason for that: Leeeeessss sleeep and leeeeesss time for myself. So I want to change that! NOW! HERE!

Now I want to show you some photos - some photos which are "the reason" for myself looking older - the renovation of the other half of the house we bought. We had a new years party with 11 people and this is my new dining room:

And this is our new half of our living room....

And this is her son - he always has sad eyes - is it just me who see it or anyone else... I think for a 12 years old boy his eyes should "look" much happier,,,,,

This is the daughter of my friend who moved to Essen last year - photo taken the morning of new years eve....

Christmas

Already December....

....and I am sooo behind all my things I have to do....This year is going to be one of my most stressfull years ever - but nevertheless I love my life!!!
Still recovering from my third degree burned thumb - it looks awful and I am not going to be a "hand model" anymore (I never thought about that lol). But it looks really bad and I got told by my doc yesterday that it will last over the next year to recover completely. I will never never never caramelize sugar....thats for sure.

But I won't bore you with that story - here last week we had an amazing winter week and I enjoyed every day even driving with the car was horrible. We had lots of snow and it was quite cold - til the weekend and now we have degrees in the plus again and the snow is melting away (sadly).

Some pics of our winter so far:

...have a lttle patience.....

...they are "Back for good" - LOL . On friday hubby celebrated his birthday and as every year I have no clue what to give him .....I always have an idea only 3 days before his birthday what makes me crazy ....

this year I ordered two tickets for "Take That" - you know these boygroup from the early 90th???? Robbie Williams joined them and I think he got kicked out. Anyway - they are "back" since 2007 and Robbie is going to join them for their tour.

But what am I going to say with this entry? I have to go through work of 6 long weeks - I have to do entries and to read blogs of all my friends and it seems I am wayyyy behind everything - but I hope to be "on time" within the next two weeks

therefore - have a little patiecne.....

I love autumn.....

...and its not only me - as you can see.....

captured two weeks ago when I walked the dogs....

I am back.......

...... after more than 6 weeks of sickness I feel way better these days - not good or even healthy - but wayyyy better and I want to let it know the whole world!!!!! Especially my dear blogger friends who asked kindly every now and then how I am feeling - girls - without you I wouldn't feel as "good" as I feel now.

It seems this neverending coughing and sneezing comes to an end - I never had something like that before - started as a cold and ended up in a pneumonia with a broken rib - heavens - what a "journey"....

But I am back and cannot wait to get in touch with you all again - I didn't take much photos these weeks but formy 365 days challenge I pushed myself every day to grab the cam - now I have to upload "3 weeks" of photos---- will take me a few "moments" - but be sure I will do it!

See you these days - cannot wait to come back to all your blogs .....

                

Week two - 365 days challenge is up.....

take a look at my second week I am joining and enjoying this challenge

Sick :(

I am sick - for nearly 10 days now I feel sick with sore throat - running nose, headache and feeling tired all the time so I went to the doc today who gave me a prescription with lots of pills and antibiotics and told me to stay in bed for 3 days! Funny she  - isn't she? Told her whats going in here and she said I should stay 5 days in bed instead of 3 - hehe....

Now I am not in bed but with comfort clothes on and every now and then I jump into bed and get off again - my little wee ones don't know how to handle that - but are very nice and don't do the nonsense they normally do. Maybe they feel that "mum" isnt't feeling well......

When I looked in the mirror this morning I saw a face and told myself : I don't know you but I will clean you anyway - LOL. Seems my cold and the nights with less sleep and all other facts are leaving signs :(

Wishing all my blogger friends a nice and lovely weekend - will try to rest a little more as I need to be back on my feet again soon. See you all next week :)

new blog.....

I finally have created a second blog to show my 365 days challenge seperately - will update it every monday to show my week - so here we go - my first (half) week so far:

Kerstins 365 days photo challenge

yes - she is back again and hopefully will stay......

A million thanks to my always positive and inspiring friend and TUT partner Marcelle I cannot resist to join the 365 days challenge - found out I need to do something for me and what helps me though the tough and hectic time I have right now is grabbing my camera and doing photos. So I won't talk a lot about it - I start right now:

This are my first two photos for this challenge:

first is my daily newspaper which I read with two cups of coffee every morning  - second is a blog of a "blogger friend" (you know who you are ;)) - I am always impressed by her photos and her way of blogging
I will upload and show my photos once a week - so keep your fingers crossed I will continue til Oct 01st 2011 :)
