Tuesday's Tallies - April 15th 2014

Hello Lovelies!
So here we go!
Wednesday:
I started off the day by watching Lilo & Stitch for the unteenth time. When I was finished I wrote and printed out a couple resumes/CVs/whatever for me and my boyfriend. 
When I wasd finished doing that I asked my little brother to help me and we carried down half the DVDs we have in the attic (my family is a bunch of home-video-addicts. We've got a couple on video cassettes, but since digital is so much easier, we film nearly everything that happens...) I started archiving them on my external hard-drive because the DVDs wouldn't live much longer. We have a lot of DVDs... There's probably hundreds of euros worth of blank CDs there...
Thursday:
I asked my dad to drive me to the nearest city so I could not only hand over all those CVs but also to ask in the daycare if I could do six weeks of work-experienc that's required to get into the school I was admitted to. It was a lot of walking, but in the end I went back home with the phone-number of the daycare's boss and only one CV that I couldn't hand over because the place was closed...
Friday:
I called the daycare's boss and got an appointment for Monday to talk it through with her, so we'll see how that goes! I also went through the last DVDs of the first half. These are now all archived:
All those boxes are full of DVDs in cases. It's mental... Imagine all the money that could've been saved by just buying an external hard-drive right away x)
Saturday:
Oh my gosh. I feel like every few DVDs that are archived grow new ones on the To-Do-pile! There's just no end to it!
Oh and by the way! Tomorrow my friend Libby's gonna audition for X-factor! My fingers are crossed and I wish her all the best, we'll see how it goes tomorrow :)
 Also I braided my sister's hair:
Sunday:
I think I've never had as weird a day as today. I was just supposed to go for a walk with my best friend, his new boyfriend and his parents. We had quite a nice afternoon with their dogs near the rhine. Until his boyfriend got a call from a friend who was asking where we were to meet up with us. Another gay friend. And our town is really small and I thought how many gay guys can there be. I was very surprised...
But even more so when I saw that mysterious friend. It turned out to be my ex-boyfriend. You can imagine what a weird meeting that was. His fiancé is a lovely guy! We spent the rest of the afternoon talking about him! It was really fun and it drove him mad x)
I guess you wanna know how it went for Libby... Well...
She didn't get through... But she takes it quite well. She's more comfortable on Youtube anyway. :)
Monday:
I managed to do my hair really pretty today! :D
I haven't touched any of the remaining DVDs since saturday... But... I'm gonna work on it... Probably... Maybe...
Tuesday:
Today I went to my boyfriend's. His best friend picked me up at the station and we went to his home together.
I've also started working on a scarf at the beginning of the week - I even made a picture, but unfortunately I left the memory card at home... I'll show you next week :)

Tuesday's Tallies - March 8th 2014

I blog less and less... So I decided to start doing weekly-ish updates on what I'm doing, whether it's crochet, knitting or other crafty stuff.
So here we go for the very fisrt update!
Since my last post I have been making a lot of dresses for my dolls. Here's a picture of all of them:
Tell me which one's your favorite! I'm really curious! 
I also did some non-crafty things this week.
On Friday, for example, I became an aunt. My little niece was born at 7.02pm French time and she's gorgeous!
Can't show you a picture of that though... Sorry.
On Sunday I went to see my boyfriend's American Football match. Here are some pictures:



 
He's the number 52 here. Although that's not his official number. He doesn't have one yet. But that doesn't matter, because hes the only one with flashy green shoes, so he's easy to find in the mass of players.
I took a load of other photos. Some of them I took with my Ricoh reflex camera. The one that needs a 35mm film. I brought them to the drugstore for developping yesterday. I'm really excited to see how they turned out.
Then, on Monday, something amazing happened. I looked into our mailbox and found a letter from the school I applied for in january. It was to tell me that I was in. They had a place for me and they just needed me to confirm that I would take that place. I'm so happy.
I kind of humiliated myself a little later though. It took a while to sink in, but when it did, I was on the parking lot of our local Zeemann walking with my sister and I suddenly started crying. 
I'll admit, I was really worried they wouldn't take me. I had some issues with the paperwork earlier. But now everything's fixed and from september on I will be going to school again.
I'm very excited.

There wasn't only good things this week. Actually this week started out with quite a bummer, but I'm just so happy right now, that I don't want to spoil my mood by talking about that again :)

See you guys next Tuesday! Enjoy the nice weather and spend some time outside.
