hang out your flags.

now i really need to lower my enthusiasm and go to sleep, 'cause the yalarm will go off at 6.30 am tomorrow morning (and i'll need to prepare the yaporridge, take a quick yashower and take a yawalk in the park before we can all sit down again - tomorrow is my yaday!)

oh madeline

madeline albright just guested on a dutch show and in my next life, i will be marrying her (provided she'll be a 30 year old attractive guy).

and that's all you're getting out of me, tonight.

behold. yannick now eats his yoghurt with a spoon (he had already mastered the art of eating solids with a fork). and looks mighty proud while doing it. and white. yoghurt. everywhere.

went to the ballet yesterday - think i haven't been since i was... 12. they danced 'coppelia', of which the music was written by my step dad's ancestor léo delibes. we were there with my parents, brother and step sister and her children. the stage and costumes were awesome and it was great to finally see a choreography to the music our parents used to bore us with on sundays.

oh yes

i booked!

flying into sfo may 14, flying back home from msp may 22.

hell yeah!

(now i just need to find a really cheap flight from sfo to msp, or i'm screwed)

instinct

i went to the hospital last thursday with yannick for a complete physical (for him). on a regularly basis, his hand and feet turn blue and at the daycare centre, they kept insisting we should have him checked. it's funny, but i never worried for a second. i just knew that there would be nothing wrong with him. but since they were so persistent, we made an appointment anyway.

he's officially super healthy. and i officially concluded that i rock at keeping a toddler happy while he has to sit still for about an hour. and i can officially declare that it is an utterly draining thing to do.

booking flights this week, by the by!

natalee holloway

if this is true, i can't help but be intrigued how someone that young can keep his cool for so long and not say a word before.

the dutch journalist will 'unveil the whole story' on dutch tv this sunday. after that, we can all put an end to this two-year-long uber-drama, hopefully. not to mention her parents can get some closure. and dr. phil can revel in his being-right-all-along.
