Actually I may be a little under average height for a Dutch woman, since Dutch are the tallest in the world, but as far as I can tell I’m pretty standard size. I usually buy Medium sizes clothes and my shoe size is also average or a little below. This makes for reasonably easy shopping as long as I don’t want to shop too ‘young’. However, considering how I look like my mother, this generally okay frame will probably be expanding in years to come. Meh, that’s okay. I just need to remember to adjust the size of the clothes I buy and order. (I have a stack of verrry neat and nifty t-shirts in my closet from when I was smaller than this. That makes me sad more than what my body actually looks like.)

How I did it: Went to Texas, met one of my people there. Meeting that one was AWESOME!!! and it was only a little sad that I did not meet the other one but she was unable to make it due to, I dunno, stuff.Read more about my adventures in Texas here. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Saving up money for the flight, arranging matters, looking at my man friendly-like, and going! I was very happy to receive the invitation and although I was a bit bummed that none of my other buddies could make it, I am glad that I did. It was great to meet C (a.k.a. smartstuff) and it was fabulous to see her marry the man of her dreams. Thank you smarts for having me there! Read how I did it…
How I did it: Really? I kept walking. Short distances, long distances. The 30km walk I did in October really helped because it required long training sessions as well. However, the short walks to and from the supermarket with my kiddies always added substantially to the grand total. It's pleasant to go for a walk and just getting my shopping gave me 1.6 mi each time. Hurray! Read how I did it…

In fact I made several. I looked up the recipes on the internet, bought the ingredients, and mixed them all together. I poured them into the moulds, waited for a while and voila! Lotion bars. Now I have one on my sink to rub on my hands after I wash them to stop them from having dry skin. So far so good. I only used scented oil (jasmine) that wasn’t so suitable for the purpose so that should be done differently next time. :)
