Welcome to my 7th Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt, Ladies and Gentlemen!
This week´s theme is “SILVER” - It´s jewelery-time!
The picture shows the rings we have chosen for your “little secret” beginning with “W” - ending with “edding” =)

How do you do justice to a moment which carries two people off into that exciting adventure called marriage and which is meant to last forever?

The rings are available @ JOOP!-stores which sell jewelery as well. I confess: The material is white gold, not silver, but I´m so excited and so deeply in love with Frank (and these rings LOL) I want to share our rings with you…Please sign up on Mr Linky and don´t forget to leave a comment!
One comment=one minute of excersise
Get me running! =)

Thanks for stopping by,

And now…
… our moment of Homer J.:

Homer: Aw, twenty dollars! I wanted a peanut!
Homer’s Brain: Twenty dollars can buy many peanuts!
Homer: Explain how!
Homer’s Brain: Money can be exchanged for goods and services!
Homer: Woo-hoo!

Welcome to my 8th feast…
Feel free to nibble - I hope it´s tasty!


Appetizer (feat. wine: Château Myrat Primeur Cru Classé, vin blanc, 2005)

If you could take lessons to learn any musical instrument, which would you want to learn?

To make a long story short: I´d love to play a mean guitar… more precisely: bass guitar!




Soup (feat. wine: Mas de Daumas Gassac Primeur, vin blanc, 2006)

Have you ever mistaken a person for someone else?

I guess so, but it was not embarrassing enough I can remember… (like a friend of mine who has mistaken her boyf with another guy… and kissed the foreigner!)

I have been mistaken for someone else a few times because I´ve had a celeb look-a-like in a German Soap Opera a few years ago…


Salad (feat. wine: Ausejour Becot Grand Cru, Saint-Emillion AOC, 2000)

On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being highest, how well do you keep secrets?


If you tell me a secret which is for my ears only I´ll give me a 10. I will never disclose any secret - no matter what happens. Not even torture (like titillation LOL) will worm this secret out of me.


Main Course (feat. wine: Geyser Peak, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma County, California, 1997)

What’s the closest you’ve ever been to a dangerous animal?

This morning! There was a wild tiger sleeping on our couch - being the fearless person that I am I even touched and feeded it! =)


Dessert (feat. wine: Corton Charlemagne, vin blanc, 2005)

When was the last time you lost your patience?

Yesterday - I had to contact the so-called “hotline” of our internet-provider in order to report a(nother) technical breakdown. It took about 30 minutes to follow the menu (”If you are calling because of BLAH-BLAH-BLAH press 1″ - …) until I reached the point “technical problems - internet” and the topic “connection failure”. After being placed on hold for another 20 minutes, listening to annoying background music, I recieved the message: “All lines are busy right now. Please try again later or use our ONLINE (!!!) SERVICE CENTER for free!”

Arrrrgh!!! Enough said =)

I hope you enjoyed my feast! Please don´t forget to leave a comment - I need a double dose of daily exercise after guzzeling this feast =)

Thanks for stopping by,

And now…

Homer: I want the answers now or eventually!

Welcome to my Thursday 13 Edition No 10
Today I present you 13 Weight Loss Tips that help me skimming. Here we go:

1. Motivation Guaranteed:
 Climb in and out of a pair of your old XXL pants.

2. Reward Yourself:
 For every kilo (2.2 pounds) you lose give yourself a treat, for example flowers, a cinema ticket or a visit to the beautician.

3. Work Wonders:
Place photos of yourself at “heavier times” in the fridge next to the snacks – you’ll be able to resist all temptation.

4. Boost Your Morale:
After weighing, plot your weight loss on a graph and watch that curve go down.

5. Distract Yourself:
Don’t wait to start eating out of boredom – jump into the bath with a good whodunnit instead.

6. Search Out Allies:
Exchange experiences with others who are also trying to lose weight, for example at a diet forum.

7. Learn Control:
Tell friends and family that you’re on a diet so that they will support you and not serve up your favourite food.

8. Enough Is Enough:
Clear away food as soon as you’ve finished eating. If you’re the sort who likes to munch on leftovers, take a hold of yourself.

9. Moooove:
Run up and down stairs several times – movement deadens sharp hunger attacks.

10. Allow Yourself Dessert:
Order a sorbet in a restaurant – sweet and low in fat.

11. Zone Out:
Excersise to your favorite music. Listening to external stimulus takes your mind off of the physical activity. That’s the secret to making “exercise time” fly.

12. Set Realistic Goals:
You can lose 50 pounds in a week if you work out 12 hours a day and eat nothing but celery - but not if you’re human. Slow and steady wins the race.

13. Remember That The Fork Is Not A Shovel:
Eat slowly! Your brain doesn’t know that your stomach is full until twenty minutes after it actually is.

And of course: YOUR COMMENTS - please leave a comment to get me running. I will exercise one minute for every comment I recieve =) Thanks…

Happy TT,

And now…
… our moment of Homer J.:

Homer: See you in hell, dinner plate!
