WOOPSY DAISY

People who know me, know I’m more of a city girl, not really big on nature. It’s not that I don’t like nature, it’s more that nature hates me. Really. I went camping one time with friends. I had to go home early coz some bug had bitten me and I got an infection on my foot and I couldn’t walk for three days. So it’s kinda of big deal for me that in the past week I went in the wood three times! First two times I went on Rožnik. That’s a hill on the side of Ljubljana. Everybody knows it and it’s embarrassing for me that I needed 5 years of living in Ljubljana to go up the hill for the first time. And today I went in the woods with my mom to gather some chestnuts. And boy did we get lucky. We gathered total of 11,5 kg! That’s 25 pounds! Dude! That’s a lot!

This is not actually our pic. But it's pretty :)

But when we got back, I was hammered! I was so tired. So first thing I did was take a loooooong shower. Then I went to my bedroom and just chill and watch an episode of Mad Men. And then, Ozi joined me. She’s been such a cuddly machine since Matic left I almost can’t comprehend. Here are some shots of her, how cozy she can get with me :)

I completely forgot about one more piece of present/bon voyage bag for my darling Matic. I got him slippers :) I knew he always liked those goofy Homer Simpson ones.

And I really really wanted to give him those, but they didn’t have them in his size (big foots) so I got him Bart instead :) he was pleased nonetheless.

YOU FARE WELL IN STORMY WEATHER

..as Anthony would put it.

If you didn’t guess yet – my love is gone. He went on one year student exchange to Liechtenstein. Of course it isn’t that far, but we decided we won’t spend money on visits because we are planning a trip to NYC in the summer. So better to work hard so we could play harder? Something like that. Anyways, if you’re interested in regular posts about Liechtenstein, here’s his blog.

But this won’t be a post about my whining about that he is gone. No, no. This will be about how awesome I am :) as a girlfriend. I know how modest this sounds (eighties feel channeling in 3..2..1..).. NOT! But I feel pretty darn good about how I’ve handled myself the last few days. Instead of crying every 5 seconds (did plenty of that in last month. Plenty!) I took the productive way. I organized a go away party (which was not a complete success but it was really nice). And this was the invitation:

It says: Matic is going (without Tanja-me) to Liechtenstein!

And the muffins (well, small portion of them anyways). I only 'decorated' these few, so I showed I can, but the reast were plain and healthy. And with no lactose (I'm intolerant).

banana + chocolate, strawberry + vanilla, apricot + ginger

Then I came up with a list of things I knew he wouldn’t remember to pack. So a day before leaving I gave him a ‘bon voyage’ pack. It contained:

-        Fonsy shmonsy black tea (vanilla orchid) – coz he doesn’t drink coffee, and coz vanilla supposedly makes you feel in love :)

-           Fonsy shmonsy thingy that you put the tea in so it drains in water? So not good at explaining this.. here it is!

-           Special edition of moleskine planner

Pacman FTW!

-           Sewing kit (if he loses a button)

-           Post its – so he can claim his territory

-           Plastic hangers for towels

-           Diy key chain – coz he’s getting new keys there

What's new pussycat?

Baby got back!

See the little pink cross? It's the fanny! :)

-           Ear plugs + big black (manly) sleeping mask – coz he has a roommate

-           Diy laundry hamper

It's actually pretty big, it's just folded here.

Pretty cool pack, no? If you’re thinking I forgot to put my picture in there – don’t worry. I’ve made him a special cube for his bday. It was this cube with our pictures (so 6 pictures) but you could start opening it and re-designing it so 3 more pictures appear (larger). Pretty cool.

I think he was happy about the whole thing. He even promised that when I’ll be moving to my exchange town (next year – Milan, Italy) he’ll pay for the van – coz I haz so many things :)

Honey, if you’re reading this – I luvz u!! kiss kiss***

Ajolina

Ms. Henrietta Berlioz the First (and the last)

Quite some time ago I promised you a sublime version of compilation photos of my beloved cat, Ms. Henrietta Berlioz the First. And the last, because she’s sterilized so.. no kittens for our family. And here it is. Ozi in all her glory. Enjoy!

Ozi, just a week old! And still blind!Oh, and don't worry.. this is not my man hand. It's my bf :)

 

 Awww.. take a look at this cuteness.. covering her eyes with her paw..

 Strolling on a beam in our apartment.. she does that often.

 For some strange reason she loves to sleep on clothes.. it doesn't always go well for her.

 When she was still with her two brothers (Geri-the black one, T-bone, the tiger) and her grandmother Greta (her mom Liza wasn't too fond of them)

 Yeah.. not so surprising once you get to know her.

 I really don't like when she goes to the roof, because she can get hurt.. and because she always messes up the wall underneath the window. So there she is.. looking like'woot??'

 Picture of her heiny :) from the bottom of the glass window.

 Posing like she knows how.

 And blessing me with a glance. And I just know she's thinking 'this is SO pedestrian' :)

 The two loves of my life.

 Silly cat.. fell alseep while watching TV.

 I got her a custom made bed from the same material that my couch spread is made (ok, my mom made it for her) and she loves to ravish it and THEN sleep in it..

 Kinda makes me think she wants to go shopping.

 I know it's bad quality photo, but if you actually see her.. it's pretty cool.

 Yeah.. us two. I know I know I look completely ritardet here, with one of my boobs up and one down.. but I still love the photo.

 And this one I think totally captures her personality :)

CHUBBY LITTLE FINGERS

Few years back my sister showed me a clip of this British TV series which is supposedly the original of the well know and popular American version ‘The Office’. Anywho.. in the clip there is David Bowie (<3) playing to some random guy a song which I don’t remember at all. Well, almost at all, I remember a part that went ‘..chubby little piglet..’ of course it was meant for this ‘random’ guy. I loved it. 

Why is this relevant? Glad you asked. Today my friend Katja sent me few pictures we took on our holyday (which was the first time btw I went on holyday with my girlfriends.. yeah.. don’t have many of them.. shocker isn’t it??) and on one of them I’m stuffing my face with ‘jufka kebab’. Do you know the dish? It’s awesome. So here’s me.. eating. 

How fab do I look with my nice cocktail rings??

SKOOL IZ PHŰNN

Today I had the last exam this year. I wasn’t really stressed out, mostly because I decided last September I don’t want to get my diploma so soon, which means I’m staying back this (my 4^th) year (we have 5 years to finish). So this fall was actually the first fall since I got to the faculty that is not completely hectic, full of chaos and nerve wrecking.

So in order of this easiness I’m giving you a gift. And knowing me.. you can probably know already it’s a boobie gift. Hope you’ll like it. (the source is once again modfetish)

 Of course there's an elephant chasing but nakid ladie on a beach! Gotta love vintage photography :)

WORST BLOGGER EVAH, pt. 2 DAYS OF GEEKNESS

It kind of hurt my feelings the other day, when my bf asked me (while I was lying on the couch, doing nothing) if I’m planning to write part two of ‘the worst blogger’. Coz I’m that bad at this. But come to think about it.. I really do suck. Hard. And the worst part is, I really do want to write more and share my magnificent ideas :) it’s just hard to get use to having this new responsibility – keeping you guys informed and such. The bright side of it is (for you, not me) that my darling honey bunch is going away for a year in about a week. This makes me believe that I will be more diligent in the future, mostly because I’ll be all alone and lonely and sad and will have to make myself useful by doing things. And writing this blog is definitely one of them. You understand now the ‘u not me’ part I assume.

Anyways I have some major (and I do mean MAJOR) news to share. As many of you don’t know or even dare to think so (coz am that fabulous) I’m pretty much what popular society would describe as a ‘geek’. Or worse.. hipster geek. You’ve seen I haz zie raybans. I have the bob hairdo. And I own a snow white cat

Henrietta Berlioz aka. The Tarzan Cat

(of which pict are promised and in the making of compilation, but I still got u a sneak peak.. u know.. coz I’m that nice), because dogs are sooo pedestrian! And because I have a pretty bad allergy on them. I also like indie music.. blaaaah.. so boring. Given these new facts about me, you probably won’t be surprised when I say I also like SciFi novels. Aaaaaaand of course one of my favorite writers is George R.R. Martin. But to give me some credit I’ve known (as oppose to most of my hipster friends) his works for quite some time.. even before the ‘game of thrones’ series were even announced. Yeah, coz I’m not mainstream :)

So anywho.. dear old Georgie has announced a new book! (been waiting for it quite some time now, bout 6, 7 years.. 8 maybe) And in order of promoting this new bestseller a holy event took place. He came to signing to Slovenia. You can imagine my overflowing joy! I was a jibber jabber star struck fan, annoying everyone around me with my anticipation, probably the whole 2 weeks before it even happen. Surely I was excited even before, but those last 2 weeks were the hardest on the one closest to me (having to put up with me). And the nervously awaited day came at last! I was there about an hour and a half before the official signing should begin and I waited for measly 3 hours to get to him. And when I did.. oh man, it was a spectacular blur :) I have this habit of talking senselessly when I’m nervous and nervous I was! I started the ‘conversation’ with babbling about how Tyrion is also my favorite character (as its his <3) and he seemed happy enough about hearing that. But after that I sort of jumped on the crazy train. I started saying how I love all the names in the books, they’re really special and how I can’t wait to get pregnant and name my baby after one of them. And how it was faith that I found one of the promotional bookmarks with mistake (blank page/side) so he can sign it. And then (of course) I asked if I can take picture with him even though he specifically said in the beginning how he doesn’t mind if we photograph him during the signing but not to ask him to take pics with us because it would take too long. But he said I can! And I was soooo happy that when I started walking around the table on his side I tripped on the rug and almost fell in his lap. All in all a very interesting experience. Special. Heartwarming. Lovely. I felt even more special when I found out that not all of the fans got personalized signing in the book from him. I did! :)

see how uninterested he looks while signing to others

let the babbling begin!

talking bout my pregnancy to be

the destined blank-paged bookmark

be awere of my semi thumb up! im not a total geek afterall

Well, this was kind of a high light of my summer. Like I said – I’m a geek. 

I would really like to write some more about this and to relive this magnificent experience, but I have a dinner to cook. I normaly never cook.. not really good at it. But since my bf is leaving shortly I have this urge to cook for him. Maybe so he'll have a better memory of me, when he's away :)

worst blogger evah

So I’m probably the worst blogger that ever lived :) I don’t even want to look at the last date I posted something. The thing is I honestly believed I had next to nothing readers. And shamefully enough I lost every trace of motivation to write or even check the blog. You can imagine my surprise when I finally got my lazy ass to check the statistics and see the ratings. All I can say is ‘wiiiiiiii’ :)

Guess what I’m trying to say is thank you guys for reading! Luvz u all :)

Oh, and one more thing.. I’ve been asked by the ones close to me why do I sign off with ‘Ajolina’ name. The thing is.. my name is not Ajolina (figures) it’s Tanja – nice to meet y’all :) but when I was little my sister called me Tanjolina and I liked it but I figured that Ajolina sounds prettier. Does it? Anyways,

For now, take care,

Love, Tanja :)
