Today's Two for Tuesday: 1.
Today's Two for Tuesday:
1. What sound do you love to hear and why?
The sound of the sea at the shore. It's soooooo relaxing. I can only listen to it on my summer holidays because the nearest sea to where i live is at least 1500 kilometers. :( I would love to live next to a sea or ocean.
2. Is there a smell that you find particularly unpleasant? Why?
Vanilla perfumes and deos. I hate them.
I just came back on
I just came back on Friday from a wonderful beach holiday in Crete, Greece. Everything was as perfect as it can get, the place, the sea, the food, the people! Yum! I want to go back!!
Yesterday i had to go to the dentist to get a tooth done that i have had problems with for a couple of months now, but the tooth was dead (that's what caused the problem) so it didn't hurt. Huh. Horror. I have to go back on Friday to have it finished (i have a temporary filling now which tastes AWFUL! Why don't they make these in yummy flavours? :) ).
Today i am off to Balaton (largest lake in Hungary) for a family holiday. I'll be back on Thursday.

Phew... after an 8-day hiatus
Phew... after an 8-day hiatus from my computer and the internet i FINALLY got it back today. (My computer died last Wednesday.) It wasn't fun, i can tell you. Tomorrow i will be off to a wonderful beach holiday on Crete, Greece. I can't wait! 24 hours from now i will be basking in the sun or swimming in the sea! It's 35 C here today so i can't wait for the cool plane trip and the sea...
I spent a small fortune on sunscreen today. I was fairly satisfied with the purchase... only to come home for a free package of NIVEA sunscreens (4 bottles of different SPF lotions, plus after-sun plus selftan lotion) which i got as a gift for my new Elle subscription. :) So now i have 5 bottles of sunscreen and 2 aftersuns. :)

My first ever Friday Five:
My first ever Friday Five:
1. Where are you right now?
In my boyfriend's office in Vienna, playing on the spare computer while he is working.
2. What have you lost recently?
My computer. :( Not completely, it just died temporarily, so i practically lost it. I will get it done next week.
3. What was the first CD you ever purchased? Does that embarrass you now?
The soundtrack of "Mad Love" the movie with Chris O'Donnell and Drew Barrymore. No, it doesn't embarass me, it's still one of my favourite CDs. More interesting are my first tape that i bought (i didn't have a CD player until i was about 16.). It was a Mariah Carey best of. :) Needless to say i don't listen to it any more...
4. What is your favorite kind of writing pen?
Oh, so you *had* to ask... :) My two favourites are both LAMY pens: a fountain pen and a ballpoint that write soooooo smoothly, very cool!
5. What is your favorite ice cream flavor?
Banana and Chocolate. Together, on top of each other, chocolate at the bottom. :)
Spending the weekend in Vienna
Spending the weekend in Vienna again. Tomorrow we'll go to the Vienna Love Parade. I hate the music they play on these trucks, but it's still fun! Last week we went to see the Gay Pride Parade in Budapest. We took some great photos, i will post them soon, i just didn't have the time and then the computer power to do it yet. (My computer just died on Wednesday out of the blue, and i can't take it to the store to get it done until next Tuesday. So until then... no photos! But when i ever get them posted, i will also add the Vienna ones. :)
Another new Starbucks opened in Vienna yesterday, and it's not going very well... when we wen there yesterday it was half empty, the same today at 3pm. Weird... the one next to the Opera, that was the first to open last November is always packed full... But i don't care, i like it's atmosphere and i don't have to cope with a crowd if noone ever comes there. :) (As long as they don't shut it down...)

Almost to the day one
Almost to the day one year after the last one (which was also the first) i am yet again blessed with a urinary tract infection. For those of you who have been lucky enough not to know what it is, it's painful and basically a pain in the a** (not literally though...). I am off to see the doctor later today. So much about the productive day i am supposed to have today...

I did *nothing* productive or
I did *nothing* productive or useful today. But i ended up with a headache nevertheless. :( I should organize and clean up the apartment and especially my room before my parents get back from Canada but i just didn't feel like starting to do that today. I'll try tomorrow...
