Have you ever wished you could change your life? Simply fire your loudmouth, arrogant slime ball of a boss? Move to that tropical island of your dreams? Get away from all those know-it-all-people in your life? I dreamed about it for a long time and I finally made that jump. This blog is about my new start and beginnings in living out my dream. Welcome to my blog and join me in this adventure of a life time!



Happiness

This week has been so relaxing for me that I start to feel lazy. I don’t know why I feel lazy because I work 30 hours a week, I swim approximately 3,5 km after work each day, I go to the gym 4 times a week and I clean my house. I think it is because the time that I have to spare is filled with lazy things like laying in my hammock reading a book, going to the beach, hanging out with friends, etc.

Sometimes my life feels surreal. Whenever my phone rings I am almost expecting a phone call from my former boss to tell me to come back from my holiday. But this isn’t a holiday, this is my life now. In my ‘previous life’ I worked and worked and then I worked some more. My whole life consisted of working in the swimming pool for 40 to 50 hours and if I came home I worked in the houses we developed. Having spare time feels like such a luxury to me and sometimes I actually feel guilty for having time to myself.


Not amused

Have you ever written a post and after re-reading it (before publishing) you decide that maybe you should not post it? I think I have about five posts sitting in my drafts section right now. All of them have different reasons why I haven’t post them (yet); too personal, too emotional, too much ranting in one post, etc. This week I wrote a post about what happened on Monday night/Tuesday morning and after re-reading it, I decided that I better not post it. Why? Because I was extremely angry when I wrote it. Now that I’ve calmed down I will tell you about it, in less harsh words.

Monday night was great; movie night with my friends. We watched ‘Knocked up’. I thought it was a pretty funny movie and we had a good laugh about it. After the movie Lee stayed over and the next morning we had breakfast at 5am. I thought it was so cool that he wanted to have breakfast with me so early. When I was ready to go to work I was in such a good mood, but that changed pretty quickly when I got to my car. I immediately crashed from cloud nine down to earth. Why? Because the tyres of my car were flat. Not one, not two, no… All four of them were flat! Turned out that some psycho had slashed my tyres. I have a pretty good idea of who might have done that, but unfortunately I have no way to proof it. Fortunately Lee drove me to work otherwise I would have been too late.


7 Facts About Me

Theresa from A Bumpy Path tagged me with the 7 facts meme. I really like this meme, because with this meme you get to know some funny facts about people that you otherwise would not know.

Here’s the rules:

1. List these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.

You’ll have to read on for my 7 facts and see who I tagged.

1. I hate going to the hairdresser. I haven’t been to one for about a year, so my hair is getting pretty long now.
2. I am thinking about getting a tattoo on my foot or my ankle. I have been thinking about that for years now and since I can’t make up my mind about what I want it might never happen.
3. Somehow I get better along with guys than with girls. I’ve had a few female friends, but unfortunately in the end the friendship always turned sour. Guys don’t give me as much drama.
4. As a kid I believed I could ’swim’ in the air. I was very disappointed when I found out that I was just dreaming that I could.
5. I’m addicted to water; I drink at least 4 liters a day, I swim in it every day and if I can’t I stand in the shower for a very long time to feel the water on my skin.
6. I don’t think I could live without my laptop.
7. I knew I wanted to work in the swimming pool since I was four years old.
