It's another Flowerbomb!




Hello!

Pff, this weather is making me depressed! (along with some other things about which I won't talk now... :P)
It's cold, it's rainy, it's cloudy and it's windy.
A good thing I have autumn-break, so at least I don't have to cycle to school while it's pouring. Always look on the bright side of life (tadatadadatadadadadaaa).
Even when the sun isn't shining!
Maybe I'll go to Aachen tomorrow, I don't have to work... But I don't know what to buy or do there. Some way, I'm not in for shopping, Starbucks or whatever right now.
Strange. Very strange. Well, let's just blame the weather.
And the picture above is totally cheering me up again. Took it this afternoon, while searching for more hidden Home-Decorations. My little sister bought these wooden tulips for my mother's birthday. Sweet, isn't it?
And at least we have a lot of flowers at home, some roses, a pepper-plant, some kind of green thing with big leaves and lots of orchids.
I love orchids! They're so delicate and lovely.

Now this entire story makes me think of a conversation I had with a friend lately, about plants and flowers:
Friend shows me a picture he took of one of his carnivorous plants (yes, he has carnivorous plants... SCARY, I think. Spotted some at a shop with Jasmijn lately, and we both agreed they we're creepy).
I: "Uhm, not completely my style.."
He: "No, it's not a sunflower... :P"

It just crossed my mind, it doesn't even have anything to do with the entire orchid thing. But I found it totally sweet he said sunflowers were my style, as I love sunflowers, too.
But for now, I'll have to do with the orchids, which goes great too.

That's all for now!
With love,
Kirsten



P.S. : Got rid of my glasses, wear contacts now. Like it?
P.S. 2: Went to Aachen yesterday, more about that later. I wrote this blog on Tuesday, but due to an error , I couldn't post the pictures, so delayed it to today.

Two little pigeons telling us a lovestory



Hello!

It's such a wonderful day! It's warm, even for a October day, and I'm sitting here with my Grandmother, and we're watching wedding dresses. I love weddings, and I think it's too bad that I hardly ever have to visit one. For the dresses, I know I'm way too young to marry, and I don't want to right now, I don't even have a boyfriend. But these dresses are so pretty!
I mean, look at this one:



I can almost imagine myself wearing it, you know, with lovely done hair and make-up and looking all pretty. And then, my handsome Prince Charming (who, I can't help it, I always imagine a bit like a younger version of Patrick Dempsey, with a hint of Robert Pattinson... I wouldn't mind!), and then we get our happily ever after.
Yeah, dream on Kirsten, Earth is calling for you!
But, well, a little dreaming won't harm anyone. I do so almost all day every day, and I never noticed many troubles coming from it, so.
Like today, I was wandering through our house, and then my mother's home-decorations caught my eye. We have more than I thought, if you look well, you'll find them almost everywhere! I like them, they give the house a relaxed and playful touch, I think.
The two pigeons are adorning the bookshelve in our living room. Aren't they cute?
(In fact, I like these two because they're stone, real pigeons are a bit scary, I think. I don't like birds that much)

But I think that will be it for today, I have to help my mom making dinner or so...
Remeber to love! ;-)

With love,
Kirsten

P.S.: Who knows what the pigeons might bring one day...
