1999. Lithography. It's gone.

I've spent about 5 hours in my parents' cellar and in my cellar trying to find the plate.
Without success.
I'm sad but the past 6 weeks made me learn how to accept the destiny without complaining.

Four car accidents, my son battered in the kindergarten, me battered by a student at work, the death of my little apple tree (I won't post an update picture, it's too sad), a burned cap and some other "little" misfortunes I don't want to bore you with.

But - what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.
I know now that I have a very nice guardian angel who made me survive all car accidents without serious bodily harms.

My whiplash symptoms are almost cured, the student wrote me a very long letter of apology, the cap will get a patch, Sam won't invite the bully-kid to his birthday party and the apple tree will live on in my heart.

And I somehow have the feeling that my guardian angel will bring me the plate some day.

The braid is gone. First pic without...

... and I'm happy.

Merry Christmas... :-(

.

I wish you a wonderful, peaceful Christmas.
May all your wishes come true.
And may all your family members love and respect you with all your "quirks" and "imperfections".

For me it's the most sad Christmas of my life.
I'm vegan since May and it's like a family tragedy.
My parents don't understand it, don't want it, don't accept it, don't tolerate it...

Tons of carp and sauerkraut with bacon on Christmas Eve.
Beef rolls and fried red cabbage with bacon and butter-sauce on Christmas Day.
Cheese cake for dessert.
To eat masses of animal protein is a Christmas tradition.
I don't know what to do.
I feel sick.
My stomach aches when I'm thinking of what will happen when I don't eat...
But I'll surely be ill when I do. 
I'm sad and in despair.


It's the Christmas decoration in my kitchen.
I hope you like it.

Avocado-Baby.

Amazing.
I planted the pit on August 17 and that's how it looked like a week ago and the day before yesterday.
It grows very fast since I first noticed the germling inside the pit.
Wonderful.
It's about 1,7 inches now.
I love it.
It makes me smile every time I watch it.
I need to find a name for him.
I'm sure it's a boy.
I photographed him with my Blackberry.
I didn't want to scare him with my big camera.

Mailbox.

Amazing.

My parents brought me this amazing stone from their Spain vacation in September.
A miracle of nature.

Thank you SO much for your wonderful birthday wishes.
:-)))))))

Happy birthday today...

I want to share this with you...

Flowers from my dad (first pic) and from my workmates.

What a wonderful day :-)))

I can't finish her... I'm sorry...

.

.

It still hurts too much.
I've tried but...
She'll stay unfinished...
When I started this painting I was full of hope that she would overcome it...
We have a gig in November and I deleted her songs from the set list...
I can't do this...
It still hurts too much.

Everything grows. I need your help.

My little apple tree grows.

It's almost three months old now.

And my hair grows too.

It's almost seven years old now.

„Only“ seven years...

However the haircut is more than twenty years old.

And... maybe it's stupid... but since a couple of weeks I'm thinking about a drastic change.

I'm bored of long hair. 

The braids, buns, ponytails...

I even bought me a short wig to look different for a day. 

A really nice one.

And the result of this stupid mispurchase was that I discovered that I'm allergic to wigs. 

Or the hair. 

Or the chemicals that are used to color wigs... I don't know.

*LOL*

And some weeks ago I cut my hair about 8 inches shorter but this didn't help. 

It still looks the same.

And I don't want to look the same as I did when I was twelve anymore...

You can see HERE how my hair looks like exactly at this moment.

And I can't wear it undone because it's disturbing. 

Especially at work.

And in the kitchen.

And when I'm painting.

Or making photos.

Or... almost always.

I'm simply not a top model who stands or sits around in a picture.

I watched many „From long to short“ videos on YT and...

From Audrey Hepburn to Louise Brooks or so?

From bun to bob?

What do you think?

I NEED YOUR HELP!

You can see HERE, how my apple sapling looked like in July.

Sun and rain on my terrace...

I'm vegan since May and two months ago I noticed that I started to see the world in a different light.
I always loved nature but now I discover more of its beauty than I did before.
I'm more spiritual and it feels like I know myself better.
I found answers for many questions I was asking myself for years.
It's an interesting journey...

Gotcha!

He came here to console me.
I had a bad car accident yesterday.
Again.
The third accident with this car.
A MINI.
It seems to be cursed or something.
My parents  (quite superstitious) advised me to sell it and buy a new one because it brought me bad luck from the first day on.
And the repair would cost almost as much as an employee's car.
I'm a passionate MINI driver so it'll be a MINI again but I'll ask my MINI dealer for a lucky color.
What do you think?
Red? Was my first MINI, with white top.
Yellow? Lemon on wheels, matches my new vegan lifestyle.
Eggshell white? No... not a vegan color *lol*.

The headache and dizziness are gone. I don't need a doctor, I think.

Did I mention here that I have a wonderful new job?
That's why I disappeared for a while.
The first weeks in a new job are always difficult but I feel integrated into the team now.
I brought tons of dried fruit to the office on my first day and they ate them all up in less than four hours.
I think they want more, that's why they are so kind to me :-).

I always try to see things positive.
I had a bad accident but I'm alive and will have a new car (of necessity :-).
And this time with rally stripes!
