…about me I haven´t mentioned before - brought to you by my dear friend Desert Songbird, who had tagged me with this MEME:

1. Girly Girl:
I´m glad to be a girl. Otherwise my parents had chosen a very contemporary name for me: MANFRED.

@ MANFREDs all over the world: I´m sorry. Manfred is a *ERM* nice name, but doesn´t fit to ME =P

2. Parking Space:
I park my car exactly between the lines. The wheels have to be straight. I won´t drop out of the car unless I´m satisfied with the parking position. No matter if I´m delayed or have to adjust 1.476 times. I won´t deboard.

No. NEVER.

3. Eye Brows
A huge treat to myself is having my eyebrows waxed and tinted. Eyebrows frame the face. Same with my lashes. They are tinted - but I haven´t permed them (yet). LOL

4. Conversation:
Although I´m kind of shy I try not to show it. I can have a conversation with anyone. I ran into an old friend a few weeks ago (after more than ten years we didn´t meet each other) and he introduced me to his wife saying: “This is Sanni. She is so fine with conversation - everyone in the room feels like a friend of her.” That´s one of the nicest things anyone has ever said about me.

5. Kitsch:
I try to risist any kind of kitsch - mostly successful, unless I´m on a holiday/vacation. I have to buy kitschy souvenirs whenever I´m on a leave. The whole stairway at our place is decorated with kitsch collected from all over the world. The most tremendously thing? I guess it´s a wooden record shaped like a tiny thick dick!

Oh, yes, Matt-Man: I can play it - and I look fabolous blowing the dick-pipe.

Oh, no, Matt-Man: I won´t post a shot of me doing it until you´ve posted the promised picture of yours. Show me yours and I´ll show you mine! LOL

I tag:

Turnbaby
Top Champ
Mrs Lifecruiser
CrAzY Working Mom
Empress Bee (Of The High Sea)

Oh, and I thought of Travis, but I realized he´s been tagged with me. So he got out of the trap (this time!) =)

What to do with a Meme: Copy the questions in a post of your own and then fill in the answers. Tag some unsuspecting bloggers. Let the person who tagged you know when you’re done.

And now my moments of *OUCH*:

MY WEEKLY SURVEY


I will exercise for comments - my 5th week´s past…
Thank you all for commenting on my posts - you folks rock my behind =)

To facts made me change my fitness training:
1.) I was pmsy - better to say: I was feeling like a whale anyway and
2.) I´ve tried to jump into my good old Replay Electra jeans. I was close the knobs *YEAH*
But having a look into the mirror… I considered myself looking like a pot-bellied pig in my beloved jeans… my (after-)pregnancy belly is still a mess.

So I decided on Thursday to do change my plans from doing one minute execerise for each comment you leave into 5 sit-ups for each comment I will recieve. This plan is a definite hint for me being nuts…

- Sun, Feb 4th: 8 Minutes - push-ups
- Mon, Feb 5th: 22 Minutes - running
- Tue, Feb 6th: We´ve been to the CPD Fashion Fair, Düsseldorf, Germany. No post, no comments - but 8 hours of racing on the fairy =)
- Wed, Feb 7th: 46 Minutes - work-out
- Thu, Feb 8st: 31 x 5 sit-ups = 155 sit-ups (*OUCH* I´m… jaded)
- Fri, Feb 9th: 38 x 5 sit-ups = 190 sit-ups (*double-OUCH* A promise is a promise )
- Sat, Feb 10th: 41 x 5 sit-ups = 205 sit-ups (*triple-OUCH* I can´t believe I´m doing this! LOL, no - I shouldn´t laugh! I can´t laugh! I can´t breath!)
- Sun, Feb 11th: Chill-out Sunday with friends at our place. No post, no comments - You wonder if I didn´t post anything on purpose? =) I didn´t cheat… I´ve done my “ordinary” exercise: 60 minutes of baby-yoga with Luis!
- Mon, Feb 12th: 24 x 5 sit-ups = 120 sit-ups (felt much more likeable than Saturday)

Although I was feeling pmsy: No weight-loss-sin fell into my mouth… okay, I confess I´ve had a huge portion of virtual BBQ-Ribs @ my friend Vinny´s Monday Matinee on THE COUCH. The ribs came with a huge Pepsi and were only $2,50 - I couldn´t resist. And by snoshing the ribs I made sure not to bite my finger nails! Such a great read - just go and check it out!

I´ve lost 0,5 kg (1.1 lb) - and 1.5 cm (0.6 inch) of abdominal girth (YAY! *EndZoneDance*)!
Thanks again, my drill-instructors! Please keep up your great work and comment, comment, comment =)

Catch ya,

And now…
… our moment of Homer J.:

omer: Are you saying you’re never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal.
Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.






Feb 4


It´s Sunday…
I feel as snug as a bug in a rug!

The XXth Men’s World Championship 2007 was hosted in Germany during the last weeks. Host Germany and Poland were to play the WCh final in “Köln-Arena”, Cologne, Germany today. The German Team around head coach Heiner Brand has won the WCh final - 29:24

Germany is handball world champion - Congrats to the guys!

Thanks a lot for making a dream of many people come true: Germany - A winter tale!


My attention was turned to Bremen, Germany today as well. My fave German Soccer Club Schalke 04 took on Werder. Schalke made it! The boys won 0:2 - and are front runner of the German Soccer League.

SCHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALKE!!!

I´ve been pretty sportive during the last week as well. Thanks for your support!
