Friday 03 October 2008: The big news today? Sarah's haircut of course! Another shallow day at Face The Day!

Sarah says:

It's the weekend - yet another weekend! Time flies. Life feels so busy. Too busy. But it's busy mixed with lazy. Too lazy. It's weird. I have lost my whole sense of time since my husband starting working at his new job and having much later hours. I have these hours after work with just my daughter, which are nice because I love spending time with that lovely little light of my life - but which also have a certain emptiness about them because they no longer include my husband. There's no real "family" time in our lives lately and I find myself really missing that. We will find it back again! I am sure of that. We have to. The first months of any sort of change are the roughest ones to get through. I long for a few months from now when we are back in pace with each other and our home feels like a family lives in it and not just three people in their own worlds. My husband is out tonight and I'm home with my kid. She'll go to bed soon and then I'll fold laundry that's been piling up for a couple of weeks. It'll feel lonely. It'll feel empty. I'll make it feel a little better by putting some good music on and maybe calling an friend from The States afterwards - but still it will feel like something is missing. I know what's missing - my husband. I miss him a bit. Not in any sort of dramatic way. Nothing like that. I just long for a game of Yahtzee with him and my daughter - and for a real homemade meal that we sit at the table and eat together. In time we'll find all that again. Anyway - the news of today was my haircut! I like it!

For some reason I can only get this hair photo to save sideways! Oh well! Another view for once!

Heidi says: my big news? None actually :) Nice weekend ahead. Tomorrow we are going to a Radio Modern retro party in the casino of Knokke. I can't even express how much I long for that! Dressing up and dancing, meeting old friends! Aaaah, can life be sweeter than that?
Yesterday, I went to the lindy hop lesson with my sister in law Sandrine. She started three weeks ago, with her partner, but he couldn't make it this time so I replaced him to keep her company. I was very sweet. The teachers Genevière and Didier (Apollo Swing) were genuinely happy to see me, and it felt like coming home. It made me think of a couple of years ago, when Nico and me and Katrijn, Alexander and Wout used to go to the lesson every week. We had so much fun! Yesterday, it felt like that time wasn't gone yet. We could snap into it just like that. Tomorrow night we will. We will dance our ass off! Hehe...
