Sod's law When spontaneous barbecue becomes a quest for finding a place to set up the fire. All public beaches are totally crowded and security turns us away. So, I'm sitting in the car with a bottle of cider and waiting while my man solves the problem) In any case, the weather is awesome, I'm relaxed and ready for future adventures!

Weekend The happiest moment of the week is Friday evening. Everybody leaves office early, you are buying a bottle of wine and looking forward to a nice date with a book. The whole weekend is in front of you and you can do everything you delayed during the week: Wash the dishes Clean the appartment Cook something (I'm sick of delivered food already! :) And if you are lucky enough you still have some time to rest, to go for a barbecue and to meet with your friends:))

Suitable time Do you notice that all important dialogs happen in the middle of the night? Always before significant meeting, before or after a difficult day. I'm able to start any kind of tough conversation only if I'm tired like hell, totally unhappy and so overwhelmed, that I'm indifferent about result. Because I'm to afraid to spoil good mood or romantic moment with serious topic. It is nearly impossible to stay calm and talk in reasonable arguments, when you want to cry out loud. Instead of useful conversation, that helps you to connect with each other you are risking to start a great fight. Every single psychologist says that talking is very important part for building strong relationships, but how to become brave enough?

How to kill your ability to read and write in English:) About for years ago I found a website with tones of my favorite series in English. My journey began with first subscription. I've started with "friends" and "gossip girl", both were previously seen in Russian. It was difficult to understand actors, but day by day it was getting easier and easier. My passive vocabulary is growing, I can easily speak in English (not flawless, of cause). For for years TV series and films were only English thing surrounded me. No books, no writing. So it's damn hard to describe my thoughts on paper without practice. Peace of advice : don't forget to practice every aspect of the language :)) even grammar!

Relationship What do you think about necessity for controlling your partner? I suppose, that our previous experiences are playing a big role in converting us into control freaks:) For example, youx ex always lied to you about where and with whom he/she was, and now you want to control when your sweetheart comes home, when he/she should call you or when to go to bed. You become suspicion and nervous, and more you are trying to control, more he/she resists. I'm totally for healthy and respectful boundaries, but relationship is a choice. And if you chose to be in one, you should respect your partners wishes, rights and private space.
