Oh neiiiin!  
Der Lastwagen, der meine Sockelleisten liefern sollte, hatte wohl einen Havarieschaden und nun sind meine Leisten noch nicht da. *heul* Jetzt kann es sein, dass ich doch noch übers Wochenende ausharren muss. Dabei hab ich mich schon so gefreut mich wieder einrichten zu können. *snief*

Edit: Jetzt dauert es echt noch das ganze Wochenende. Ich könnte abkotzen! Rainer hätte heute Vollgas gegeben und ab morgen hätte ich eingeräumt und alles wäre Sonntag fertig gewesen. Jetzt kommen die Leisten (hoffentlich) am Montag. Da hat Rainer aber Tagdienst und kommt erst abends wieder und Dienstag hat er geteilten Dienst, was bedeutet, dass er auch den ganzen Tag weg ist. Vor Mittwoch bekommen wir jetzt also effektiv die Wohnung nicht fertig. *grml*
Wir hatten uns mit EINER Woche Baustelle abgefunden, nicht mit beinahe zwei Wochen...

Parkett  
Die lange befürchtete Woche ist gekommen. Unser Parkett wird raus gerissen und durch ein neues ersetzt. Wäre nicht das Problem, wenn wir Kohle für einen Urlaub auswärts hätten und in der Lage gewesen wären dem Ganzen zu entfliehen. So sitzen wir nun zu viert in Kevins 15qm Zimmer rum und versuchen die Zeit tot zu schlagen. Auch ne Art der Familie näher zu kommen...^^
Ich versuche mir einzureden, dass es ganz lustig wird. Dass wir diese Tage irgendwie überstehen. ABER unser Vesper haben wir vorhin im Stehen in der Küche eingenommen! Ich mag da noch gar nicht ans Abendessen denken.
Ich muss mir jetzt auf jeden Fall viele eBooks auf meinen Reader laden, damit Rainer dann später an meinen Laptop kann. Sein PC ist derzeit abgebaut und in Tobis Zimmer geräumt. Und dort können wir nicht vor Abend reingehen, weil die irgendeine Grundierung auf den nackten Boden auftragen müssen und dann können wir da erst gegen Abend wieder in die anderen Zimmer.

Hab ich erwähnt, dass ich nie für ein spartanisches Leben gemacht war? Ich hab mich immer über Janeway amüsiert, die in 'Resolutions' mit Chakotay auf New Earth festsaß. DAMALS fand ich das noch lustig. JETZT weiß ich, wie das nervt und ich hab noch meinen Laptop und Strom etc. Es ist nur ungemütlich und eng. Und ich brauche meine Privatsphäre nun mal. Ich kann doch keinen Slash lesen, wenn mir meine Männer dauernd in den Bildschirm linsen. *umfall*

Asyl wäre toll...

First things first....  
This entry is stuffed with spoilers for Fringe, Vampire Diaries and Camelot! Not much I think but I don't want to piss somebody up. If you are not up to date with this shows don't read my entry!

Happy belated birthday my dear [livejournal.com profile] tinini!
I'm so incredibly sorry for being so late. Hope you'll forgive me. {{hugs}}


How is everybody?

I'm sorry for being absent these past weeks. I put a lot of effort in the World of Warcraft guild I'm part of but ... well, I'm not sure it was worth it. For the time being I quitted my account. The game can be so frustrating sometimes and it's supposed to be fun. And only fun ... Tried some other games and got kinda stuck with Cabal online. It's a nice game but I don't think I'll get as addicted to it as I was with WoW. Could be a good thing though. Really.

Found some time to re watch McLeod's Daughters Seasons 4, 5 and 7. Don't have the others. *snief* At least not yet.^^ And I finally watched the most recent Fringe, Camelot and Vampire Diaries episodes. Can you believe what Mr. Abrams did? I'm dying to see the next Fringe season. oO How could ANYONE not remember Peter? *dies* But something like that had to happen. It was just to good to be true that Peter and Olivia finally had their happy end.
The VD season finale was also heartbreaking. Can't believe what happened to Jenna. Loved her so so much! And yay, finally Stefan is out of Damons way to Elenas heart. <3 Sry, Stefan fans but I'm with Damon. *drools* Am I the only one who wants to see Tyler and Caroline become a couple? I love their chemistry. It's amazing.
And yes, I finally started to watch Camelot too. Wasn't sure I'd like it because two shows with more or less the same theme doesn't work for me. At least not until now. ;) Camelot has everything I miss on Merlin, but ... Merlin is Merlin and as amazing Camelot is... there is no Slash pairing and except for Merlin (who is kind of weird!) no hot guy! Arthur is sweet, and Gwen is sweet. They are sweet together but there is no fire. BUT I love Morgan a lot. She is how I imagined the evil witch should be. Merlin's Morgana is whiny at first and blinded by her hatred at last. No facets nothing. I'm not happy with what they've done with the great character of Morgan(a). She is not someone you would respect nor is she someone you would fear. And I really, really hope we'll see some better character shaping on Merlin's next season. :(
Plus I have to say that I like Camelot's Gwen more than Merlin's. Never was a big fan of Angel Coulbys Gwen. It's not her fault though. As an actress she is wonderful, but her character is boring and there are NO sparks between her and Bradley. I just can't ship them. It's so sad. :(

Other than watching loads of series I enjoyed the weather and the cooling right now. My garden really needs more rain. The grass already died. :( But my flowers and the new hedge are growing ... because I'm watering them every day.^^

Well that's it for now. Gotta go and check on my chicken. I'm starving.

Love you guys! ♥

Twilight, Fringe, Writing ...  
I've finally finished the Twilight series. Awesome. A bit too sweet at some chapters for my taste. I missed Jacob at the end of the story, but ... well, I'm aware of the fact that it's a story about Bella & Edward.^^ I'm just such a huge fan of Jacob. Native Americans always had a special place in my heart. ;) Can't wait to see Eclipse. ♥

The Fringe season finally was ass kicking! I can't believe I'll have to wait months before I can watch new episodes!!!!!! *faints* I just love the characters, the whole storyline, the x-files touch and of course Josh Jackson. ♥

And I have managed to write the second chapter of Shadows of the Past, my follow-up to You don't know. Just sent the document to my beta reader. :D It was really about time to write McKirk again. Or Jones or whatever you wanna call that ship. *gg* Yayness for cute guys kissing. Slash rocks! ♥

Other than that I've been busy with World of Warcraft. There are days when I ask myself why I'm still playing that game. It can be soooooooooo boring. But ... I don't know what else I should do. Any ideas? Gardening is off the list because of the never ending rain. I will be in my garden as soon as the weather gets better again.
As for arts/icons - my muse is gone missing. :(

Garden  
I was working in my garden for almost 3 hours. I pulled out weeds (not done yet), cut my Roses and Buddleja davidii which were frostbitten (so much for the global warming *haha* this was a fucking long and fucking cold winter) and I seeded some new flowers (vetches, asters and some others - forgot the names *sigh*). This year I'll go for violette, rose and loads of pink.^^ I already have tons of blue flowers (i.e. forget-me-not and Nigella damascena). Needed some warm colors too. As soons as they blossom I'll show you pictures. I think my bed will become really nice this year. :)

Now my back is hurting like hell. *thud*

Apple green is <3  
I really love apple green. A couple of weeks ago we (my hubby and I) renovated my mom's kitchen. You might remember. I told you about it already. Well I talked her into a apple green wall on the opposite of her amazing dark red kitchen cupboards. It's a perfect contrast and I simply love it!
Now there was a lot of paint left and I took it. *hehe* Just painted a part of one of my hall and it already looks awesome! Gotta paint it again, because twice is better. But as soon as it is dry I'll take a picture of it so I can show you. :D

Garden  
I am all run down. I've worked for almost 4 straight hours in my garden today. But now it's coming along and it's beginning to look very nice. :) I just have such pain in my back and hands and feet I cannot tell you. I am simply exhausted like hell and beyond. All I wanna do right now is to eat (chicken wings and fries), go to bed and watch Lost 3x15. x|

Destiny  
Today we went to the garden, to have a barbeque with my parents in law and it was a very nice afternoon. :) As I sat on the table I took a look around and detected a amazing butterfly at one of my flower perennials. It is a Vanessa atalanta - Admiral. He sat there for more than 15 minutes and I started to wonder why he just sat there. He was not drinking any juice from the flowers nor did he fly around. A few minutes later - after the barbeque - I took a closer look. He remained sitting - after I tried cautiously to touch him. He climbed at my finger instead of flying away and I was totally happy. I mean I admire butterflies and one just climbed at my finger. After the rapture I began to realize that he might be ill or something. One of his wings looked damaged, as if a bird or something caught and bit him. But I thought, hey he made it to your garden, so maybe it is not *that* bad. Now I think it is THIS bad and it was his destiny to fly into my garden, right in front of me. I took him with me. He is now right beside me and I have this bad feeling that he'll die tonight. Not because I took him with me, because of the damage on his wing. *cries* I'll keep him forever. I can't put him on a flower outside. I think as long as he lives he is just food for the birds and I don't want him to end like this. Unfortunatly the pictures we took with my cellphone ain't that good. :( But I'll show them to you anyways. ;)

Here I am  
Sorry for the lack of news. I was working in my garden the last couple of days, coz the weather rocks and I have a lot to do there. And in the evenings I'm so tired that I almost fall into bed after the shower. *sigh*

I have finished two new fanlistings I wanna plug. Comfort for another, the Hurley/Libby fanlisting. <3 And I also have a new ST: Voyager fanlisting. Always by your side, the 7.12 Lineage fanlisting.
I'm quite satisfied with both layouts, although they are very different. What do you think?

Der Hobbit in mir  
Scheiße, Leute, ich bin total kaputt. Hab gestern das sagenhafte Wetter ausgenutzt und angefangen in meinem Garten zu arbeiten. Bedeutet, dass ich eine Konifere - etwa drei qm groß - mit samt dem beschissenen Wurzelwerk entfernt und den Steingarten meiner Mutter umgesetzt hab. Jetzt hab ich Muskelkater wie noch was, aber es hat total viel Spaß gemacht. Und heute nach dem Mittagessen geht's gleich weiter. Heute reißen wir die alte Weide am Häuschen raus, die schon fast von allein umfällt. Außerdem werd ich einige Rosensträucher umsetzen, verschiedene Pflänzchen umpflanzen und wohl anfangen das Haus auf die Renovierung vorzubereiten. Ich will mich im August hinsetzen und mein Werk bewundern können und bis dahin ist es noch ein ziemlicher Weg. Zum Glück hab ich einige Leute, die Lust und Zeit haben mich bei meinem Vorhaben zu unterstützen. :)

Yeah, ich steh voll auf die Natur. Und nach so einem langen Winter werde ich den Frühling und Sommer wohl besonders genießen. Aber keine Angst, meine VL Hobbies werden nicht zu kurz kommen.

Gestern hab ich 5 neue Brushsets auf deviantart.com hochgeladen. ;)

Neue Fließen - endlich!  
Endlich, endlich. Gestern hat Rainer (mein Mann) zusammen mit Hans (mein Schwiegervater) angefangen im Flur die langersehnten Fließen zu legen. Ich hab schon gedacht, dass das niemals was wird. Ständig hatte Rainer eine andere Ausrede. Aber jetzt - endlich - haben sie angefangen. Die erste Bahn liegt schon. Sieht lustig aus, eine Bahn Fließen im Flur zu haben, die vom Schlafzimmer zur Wohnungstür führt. *g* Freue mich schon total drauf, wie es aussehen wird, wenn es dann mal fertig ist. :)
Einziges Problem, was jedoch eine Reihe anderer Probleme nach sich zieht, ist Tobias. Er hasst es im Wohnzimmer oder Kinderzimmer eingesperrt und seiner Freiheit beraubt zu sein. Gestern waren wir bei Bärbel (meine Schwiegermutter) unten, aber da stehen so viele Sachen rum, die er nicht anfassen darf - wie Anlage und Keramikzeugs, Bücher, CDs etc., dass es ihm da auch nicht gefallen hat. Heute gehen wir in den Garten. Bald, um genau zu sein. *freu* Sind zwar gut 2,5 Kilometer zu laufen, wenn nicht gar ein wenig mehr, aber das ist es mir wert und das tut mir auch gut. *gg* Hoffentlich ist Tobias dann etwas ausgeglichener heute Abend.
Hab eben Rinderrouladen und Spätzle gehabt. Zum ersten Mal eine selbst gemachte Soße dazu, nix mit Maggie Fix. *bg* Hatte nämlich keins mehr und musste improvisieren, weil ich zu faul war bis zum Minimal runter zu laufen. Hat total genial geschmeckt - wenn ich mich selbst loben darf. *hihi* Ich überrasche mich immer wieder selbst, denn obwohl ich es hasse zu kochen, kann ich es erstaunlich gut. *lol*
Nun ja, mal sehen, was der Tag noch so bringt. (Hoffentlich Muse für ein oder zwei angefangene Stories. Ro/Chakotay und McShep *yay*)
