I like the King of Queens.
The show is old, the plot is simple but it's fun to watch! Nice cast.


I don't like it when staff at the bakery squeezes the Pain au Chocolat or Croissant brutally with the tongs and the poor, former fluffy pastry ends up flat in the paper bag.

I don't like walking behind a smoker in the street when I am trying to catch some fresh air after work on my way home.

I like watching birds jumping around in treetops.

I like watching birds in general. And of course listening to their chitchat.

So much for today.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Soignée and Neat for 70 EUR

This morning I ended up with this: A basket full of goodies:

The skin perfector was the reason I visited the E-Shop in the first place. And I ended up with a full basket. This basket costs approx. 70 EUR. I could live without the moisturising booties, the rollers and the pop-up-brush. But not without the Becca shimmering skin perfector.

Friend G and I used to discuss how easily we spend 70 EUR these days. Too easy. This vicious Euro, we lost the sense of of the amount of money and value we spend, due to the "new" currency. What was 500 Schilling before is now 35 EUR. 500 Schilling was something you would keep for days in your wallet.
So the reason I am posting is posting today is that I dislike the easiness how willing I am to "just spend" 70 EUR.

Oh, how these items promise a neat, soignée and well-groomed appearance.
What to do?

PS: The rollers are my - hopefully ! - last attempt (the velcro and the velvet ones did not work out at all (velcro pulled the curls out when removing the rollers, velvet shedded velvet all over the floor and the hairstylist says, they will always shed ...). I know I look better with my straight hair, but still!

You Can Tell Christmas Season is Finally Over ...

Late November I opened my best-ever Christmas Season by cancelling a project at my 2nd job. I have received a lot of quality time in return. Now it's Feb 1st and I am back to double-duty.

During daytime I am Paula C Kent ...

Ordinary printer in an ordinary office

And at night I become Super MC Paula ...

A cheapo H&M cosmetic pouch provides the professional appearance.
(The fake-fur is a wind-shield. )

Marie Curie does her best and tries to stop me ...

"No, please, stay with me! Don't go working late!
Lets have a good time and stay at home!"

The red herring aka necklace from H&M is a nice try.
Those innocent eyes, who could resist them.

So, in case you wonder why post infrequently these days, I probably had a long day at 2 jobs and am right now hanging out with Mr Paula and a cup of tea.
