Quiet???

So it's nearly 10am on a Saturday morning here in Wassenaar. (in case you want to know how to pronounce it you say Vas-naar) anyway. The family has left for a fun filled ski trip and left me with the dog. I have no plans for the next several days that they are away. Its going to be grand. I kicked off my weekend with a lovely bath. Now, for most of you that might not be a big deal, but for me.. that is bliss. They have 2 bathtubs in the house but 1 is in the parents bathroom and the other is in the kids bathroom so neither are good for me to use. Instead I take a shower in my bathroom with no shower door. Seriously. No shower door. Its so funny! My showerhead is attached to the wall across from my mirror in the bathroom. It cracks me up. If I were a man this would be optimal for shaving my face, but since I don't shave my face it works nicely when removing makeup in the shower. Lol. Anyway, back to the bath. It was lovely. And in honor of "National Wine Day" yesterday I uncorked a bottle of red wine and had a glass while watching Everybody Loves Raymond. I would call my 1st day a great success. Perhaps today I will whip up a batch of Chocolate Chip cookies with my last bag of chocolate chips.. mmmmm yes... That does sound good. Later this week I plan on taking a trip to Rotterdam. I hear its pretty cool. Apparently there are a lot of boats that go in and out of there so if nothing else, it will be neat to look at the boats. Also I plan on going to one of the biggest open air markets in Europe. Guess where it is? Right here in the Hauge!!! I had no idea it was so close! I literally live about 30 min biking distance. I'm pretty excited. You may laugh at me, but honestly I love love love the markets here. You can get so much for so cheap! One of my favorite things to do is go somewhere on a Saturday (b/c that is when most towns have their market) wander around the town and then poke around the tents at the market and get some fresh fruit or veggies or something to eat. I haven't been brave enough to get the fish just yet.. and maybe I never will be.. I think I'll save the fish to get at the meat store and cook it at home.

Also this week I'm hopefully getting my train ticket to go to PARIS!!!! Whooo-hoooo!!!!! I'm seriously so so soooo excited about going next month!!! I have these visions off seeing the Eiffel tower and the Louvre and all the painters on the sidewalks and then sitting at an outdoor cafe drinking some French wine. I know its silly, but dang I hope the weather is nice so I can have a fantastic Paris experience! :o)

Well, this blog is kind of meaningless, it was more of a "I'm bored and I'm putting off cleaning my room so I'll post a blog" kind of blog... hope everyone is doing well!

Happy Weekend Everybody!
