the past few days?
Well let's start with today: I went to Heesch to talk about upcoming articles and pick out the products that I am going to use in my upcoming workshop there on the 12th of September, which will be a cool wooden album. Hurry if you are interested in joining because it is almost full.
On Monday I went out with one of my best friends, Regina to see Mamma Mia, the movie.
We LOVED it! I had seen the musical which was sooooo good a few years ago with my mother and the movie was so well done and just as funny. And the songs brought back so many memories. Afterwards we went to sit on a terrace since it was still so warm. We had such a good time talking all evening that I totally forgot about time. I came home late and I forgot to call DH(normally I ALWAYS call that it is going to be later or that I am on my way home) and he was not too happy. I could see it came out of him worring and he admitted that the next day :)
Yesterday another good friend that we both have know for years now came over to have diner with us and it was so good to see and talk to her again.
On Friday I will meet and have diner with another old friend of mine who I also love deerly, I am so looking forward to that as well.
The reason why I am seeing more of my friends is that by talking to my therapist I became aware that I hardly had any social life. In my mind I was always too busy to meet or whatever. So that is why I maybe saw my best friends once or twice a year, truly sad if you think about it. I did talked to them on the phone(3/4 times a year hehe). Luckily I have know them for years now and everytime we meet it is like the old days again, so all is good. So this is what I promised myself. To spend more time with my friends, to get a deeper connection, to show them that I am there for them and that I care about them.
What else did I do? I finished an article, will be starting on a few more this week and next week. I played with the new Cricut Create. Another thing that I would normally never ever do. After I found out I had ADHD I also realized why I never used any scrapbooking machinery. I just couldn't focus on the text in the manual, s therefor I just said I am not a machine person :), but it is actually kind of fun to work with and the kids love it.
Remember this song? I sooooooo loved it when I was young and I was so into rab/hiphop back than. I heard it on the radio today and I was dancing in my car while driving hehe.

Heel gaaf nummer inderdaad. Gelukkig heb ik een cd waar het op staat en die gebruik ik regelmatig tijdens het lesgeven. Volgens mij vind iedereen het een top nummer.
