(not) new in town!

I think i can say now that i m officialy not new in town!I completed a month in the new appartement and 4 weeks at job...so i guess i m getting old:)It has been only one month but to me it seems a lot longer, but in a good way...It's a complete change from Strasbourg and I feel so much better here:)
This week i had my first guest, a friend came from Brussels and i will be paying back the visit around the 10th of May!!
We had a great time, i even got a day off to go sightseeing with her...

my friend posing as a mermaid...i think we both gave a good laugh to those passing by:)
We walked for hours, had coffee ina coffee shop named Central Perk(does it remind you of something???), chatted for hours, exactly what I had missed!The rest of the days I didn't get to see her a lot, because i was working, but we managed to go for a fondu with collegues and then to UN drinks.She really liked the fact that she didnt see Geneva as a tourist but rather as a"local" and i like the fact that i have a completely different life to show to my friends!
She left yesterday and now i m enjoying the empty appartment, because the landlady and her bf are off to Berlin and she's not coming back until Tuesday!So i profit from their absence and listen to loud music, talk until late at night with friends and family on skype, leave my door open and walk around in my underwear:P
Today i also cleaned the house, i want her to find it clean and nice smelling when she comes back:)I might buy even some flowers to welcome her.
Speaking of flowers, my great collegue(who is unfortunately leaving on Tuesday:(....)bought me a bouquet of pink tulips the other day, just because!

my desk with the flowers on it and my lovely collegue in the back!
the gift i bought for her to remember me...it's KORRES, a greek mark of cosmetics and bath products, eco friendly with great smells and textures and quite affordable(though definately not cheap)-they are international for quite some time now and i found a shop in the shopping center next to the train station!
I LOVE TULIPS!!And the color..just what i wanted!So i kept them until yesterday at the office and now i brought them home, the y look so ince in my room, in front of the window!!!

my desk at home, the new curtains and the flowers...they are all screaming SPRING IS HERE!!!
Weather today is kind of crappy, rainy,cloudy, though not really cold...but still, doesnt urge me to go outside to walk or anything...I should be soing some exercising, but what kind of?And where?Still havent decided if i  m going to subscribe to the gym...and their website is in german and cant find where i can switch the language to see the ser
vices and the prices:(
Today might be a good day though to go to the beauty salon, for the waxing i ve been thinking about for months now:P
I found a salon near my place, the lady seems nice, it looks clean and for Geneva the price i think is ok.I have been postponing it for ever because i m afraid of the pain, but i think i m having a shower in an hour or so and going there to get it over with already.
I am waiting for spring to come, put all my winter clothes in my suitcase and start wearing happy colors and my spring shoes!My friend left me 2 small gifts before leaving:the pink curtain, to match my green one ad a pair of bright red ballerine peep toes!I love them!!!

my spring shoes...
