QUAKE

Back in the 90s my parents, my ex-boyf and I used to play Canasta once in a month. Lots of fun, lots of food and LOTS of alcohol were part of that one special night. We went to bed some minutes earlier - the earth started shaking, the bed did, I did. I was so plastered I thought some more or less little creatures were coming my way to haunt me… thrill me, kill me, grill me. Seconds later the whole fuss was over. Me? I couldn´t sleep, still waiting for the creatures to come.

Next morning my parents told us we´ve had a minor earthquake the night before. A 3.2 magnitude as far as I can remember… the first earthquake in my life - the earthquake that made me stay away from alcohol for a looooong time. I´ve never ever been that drunk again - and I´ve never ever played Canasta agian.

However, the above mentioned earthquake wasn´t me… the 2.8 magnitude in Bremen, Germany (April 03, 2008) wasn´t me… but… well, I´ve been to that place which must not be named today in the morning… the enemy under my feet told me something like: “This scale is NOT produced for trucks or elephants!” -

See, Hamster 2.0 is growing, my belly is… and the rest of me… well, is growing, too. If you fell the earth move under your feet… this could be my fault. Ooooops… sorry. Another great reason for me to stay in bed: Avoiding earthquakes…

Happy Manic Monday, peeps!

Coffee and cake anyone?

Let´s forget about Raoul, the blogger formerly known as Sanni. I need to change my name again!

I´m not a huge fan of gaming consoles, but there´s one reason why I absolutely love the PS3: The Blue-ray Disc Player.
We love watching movies. We´ve been out to cinema at least once a week before until Luis was born. Today we prefer to watch a movie at home, on the couch, covered with blankets, while the little one is sleeping upstairs. Home cinema rocks, as well as home-made (salty) popcorn.

Yesterday I found out the blanket does not only keep us warm. It´s also a fantastic helper. I can hide under the blanket. What happened to the girl who loved watching movies as scary as possible? The fan of SAW and Hostel??? I found myself hiding under the blanket, suffering from heart rhythm disturbance (!!!) while watching “I Am Legend”.

Can you believe this? I totally freaked out while Frank and Jersey went out for the good-night walk after we watched the movie, because I was DARK outside. Going to sleep after they returned? Impossible. I stayed up until 3 am and had weird dreams during the rest of the night!

I still hope it´s a matter of pregnancy hormones. Yes, I am trying to blame it on the hormones. The best excuse for every odd thing… gorge attacks, crying my eyes out without any reason, hiding under the blanket while watching a (pretty cool) PG-13 movie.

Can you hear me, oh dancing pregnancy hormones??? It´s all YOUR fault! Sheesh!

Otherwise I will never ever again have the possibility to watch the Looney Tunes without a hiding place. No more Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner? Impossible!

Coffee and cake, anyone?

Homer: Trying is the first step toward failure.

HEADS - Fool

April Fool´s Jokes have always been very popular in my family. Papili (my Dad) used to send me into April by playing some fabulous tricks on me. I tried my very best to step into his shoes when I was a little one.

My favorite April´s Fool Joke:

About 3 years ago I send a text message to those peeps in my mobile I haven´t contacted or heard of in a while.

Dear XYZ!
Thank you so much for your friendship during the past months/years.
Today is THE day - the final step is taken. Please update your contact informations.

I´m no longer “Sanni”. From today on my name is “Raoul”. My sex change is finally completed.

Kindest regards, Raoul.

Oh, I would have loved to be a fly on the wall, seeing the facial expressions… especially that one of my Ex-boyf. I never heard of him again. Oooops. He was the only one I didn´t inform about this being an April Fool´s Joke. I wonder why. *ROFL*

The best April Fool´s Prank Papili surprised me with is posted by Jersey.

What´s your favorite April Fool´s Joke?

Happy Tuesday, HoTties!

Coffee and cake anybody?
