and I'm bored...
Therefore I agreed to date a guy who looks exactly like Dr Carter (Noah Wylie) in ER...
He was nice.. we went for coffee and strolled through some furniture stores. He has just moved back to Stockholm from the US and needs a whole new setup of furniture. It was fun. But I don't think I'll see him again. The other guy who I had scheduled a lunch with on Wednesday is...hm (I am judgmental!) not hot. I don't want to go! I wonder if I can cancel...
Today I was supposed to finally pick up my bike, my dad left it a the repairplace this morning, but did he bring the key...oh no! So I have to pick up the bike tomorrow when I am swamped with stuff to do.
Have to call Rosalie to get my hair done tomorrow so I'll look fab for the next party I'm going to on the 19th.
The creepy-stalker guy had apparently sent some textmessages again. He only has my jobcellphone. I thought he had given up but no... Kattis at my ex-job sent me an email with all my messages - that was sweet of her. I think I'll just ignore him again like I did before.
Platimnum-doc sent a message today. He said he was looking forward to seeing me again. I haven't answered him yet since I really don't know what to say. I don't mind seeing him, we had a nice time, but I am not interested in him in the "boyfriend-kind-of-way". It's probably for the best that I'll just be honest with him and tell him the truth. I think he is a nice guy but not "my guy". God, I hope he won't be too sad. The upside is that he lives in Malmo so I won't have to tell him to his face. Is it ok to send a textmessage?!?! Or if he calls tomorrow I'll tell him.
One thing I've been thinking about is why can't people be happy for eachother instead of putting eachother down? I've been through a lot lately and would have needed support from some people I thought could count as my friends. Maybe certain people are important at certain times in your life and then you have to let them go...
Easier said than done.

Platinum man
The date with the doctor, he is actually a neurosurgeon, was nice. We started out with dinner at East and the off to Sturehof and Berns for drinks. The food was really great and I made some nice winechoices to go with.
As we were on our way home he insisted on us spending the night together "just sleeping" ...hm yeah right...
Eventually at my place he got to sleep on the couch, it a 2-seater...Sometime during the night he came over and laid down in my bed.
He is a nice guy, well educated, intelligent, we had some really nice conversations, very generous (had his AmEx platinum card working all night ;)) but it did just not happen. There was no spark, no "click"on my part. He seemed totally interested but I'm not. Too bad but that's the way it is. But since he lives in Malmoe, I can blame it on the fact that I donät want a long distant relationship. Or I'll just tell him that he is a nice guy but not my type... maybe that is nicer as it is the truth.
Saturday we had breakfast and I wanted him to leave asap as mornings are not really my thing. He finally left and I called sis to make plans for the night and hopped into the shower.
We met up with the rest og the gang and played boule. It was really nice once we got the hang of the rules :) We will do it again some time soon I think.
Afterwards we had dinner at a really niceMalaysiann restaurant. Hannah went off to met some friends and her ex Olof. I'm not even getting into their on and off relationship....
Some left and me sis and Henrik went over toDan'ss &Stefan'ss place for some wine. We started talking about next summers holiday. It seems like we will be renting a riverboat in France :) Seems like fun.
Mi and Jonas left early. I don't really know what was Jonas' problem but something happened and they left...
Today sis is helping me with my new and improved cv. I'm finally starting my own company. I possibly have a job starting at the beginning of next year (keep your fingers crossed).
Peder has helped me a lot too. I can't believe how many nice people I know. And of course Gonzo, an incredible source of inspiration :)
So now I better get on with everything. I dropped a painting on the floor the other day so the glass broke. Today I will try to turn the broken glass into a serving tray. If I succeed it will to totally cool :) And I'm also putting up some new lights in my apartment and I also have to come up with a good name of my new company :)
Hope you had a nice weekend and take care

Datethoughts
As my blogger-buddy Mark pointed out, dinner on Friday AND museum on Saturday is a bit much with someone I have never met. I'll do my best to get out of the museum-thing...unless he is totally nice.
Yesterday I searched the internet as I have his cellphonenumber. He told me his name is Erik. When I searched for him (paranoid - I know...) I found out that the person who has his number is called Rolf...Wonder what I should do with this information?? We are after all meeting in a public place, a restaurant, and I'll leave his name and number with sis and Gonzo. As I don't yet know the restaurant I'll send the girls an sms as soon as I know where we are going.
What else can I really do?!?
Anyway, today I had lunch with sis and Henrik. We went by a really nice second handshop where I picked up a skirt, a bag and a jacket. All in all I paid 4 euros :)
Saturday night I'm gathering my gang and we are going to play boule. Will be fun. I'll also bring up the subject of renting a canal boat for our next summer holiday. I want, as always, go to France and this year I might actually get my way...I'd love to visit the northern part, like Brittany or Normandie.
Tomorrow I'm having breakfast with Peder, my mentor. He has the most amazing contacts. I wonder how he keeps them up. I am so bad at that. I guess I should start emailing some of the people I used to work with just to say 'hi'.
Peder is helping me to start up my own company. He has a project he thinks I should run and for this I must have my own so I can get paid in a legal way. Then i can call myself CEO, I suppose :)
Will be so cool. I hope I can pull it off.
Got amazing support from Gonzo, as usual. She is the best :) I have some really great people in my life actually. The others...well maybe I was naive thinking you can be friends with an ex. Maybe you can be frineds with some of your exes but not this one. Once the bad rumours start I don't want any part of it anymore. So bye-bye and have a nice life :) My life is moving on and I'm going with it, See ya!!
Take care!

New pants...
today. I know I probably shouldn't but I've been wanting them since this summer and now I had to buy them. The pants will be my "looking for a great job"-pants.
Stopped by HvM and got the face cream I'm testing and she threw in 2 magazines too. Tried to enjoy them at a coffeeshop downtown but no...what is the deal with all these screaming babies and their fathers/mothers... Is it ok to change your baby on cafe-table???
I'll enjoy them at home instead with a cup of tea and some cakes :)
Erik - the doctor - called yesterday night. A very nice surprise. I wonder what he has planned for us Friday. He won't tell me anything, I know it involves dinner, good wine and drinks so I'll dress for the occasion. Damn, what shall I wear?!?! Friday is the "big" date and on Saturday we are going to a museum. God, what if I won't like him...
Today fall came and with a vengeance... it's raining and cold and windy. So riding my bike to the gym is not really a option. I'll do some yoga at home instead.
Am meeting with Peder on Thursday and he is helping me start up my own company. So excited!! Now, I read somewhere that if you want to make money you have to look like you have lot of money... So this justifies my shopping...or maybe not?!?!
If I get this job I want I'll be doing PR and event for designers - which would be oh so cool :)
Gonzo called after reading my last entry about the rumors. She is great which is more than I can say for some. Well, I'll let it go now... Will not let any negativity drag me down now. I don't need that.
Now I'm going to make myself a cup of tea and read my fashion magazines :)
Take care

Icing on the cake
Had a great weekend. Actually it started on Thursday with a nice good bye to my co-workers, or now ex-co-workers...
Then off to Bistro Jarl to meet the girls. Most of them left at around 10 pm but Gonzo, Jess, Tove and myself strutted over to Riche for a last glass of wine. It turned out to be a few more glasses but hey... what can you do?
Left Tove in the arms of a tall and handsome man and crawled into a cab with Gonz and went home. Woke up on Friday feeling quite ok actually.
cleaned the apartment and my mum stopped by for some coffee. She stayed for about one hour and we didn't get into any fights - good sign maybe I'm growing up...
Friday night had dinner with Mi, trying to solve her bad jobsituation. I think she should leave that crap job. Had a nice dinner and a few drinks and came home at a quite decent hour.
Got up on Saturday and did my laundry. Then I met sis for coffee and picked up a nice bottle of sauvignon blanc for Ulf. Went to Ulf's house warming/birthdayparty. It was very nice. Got to catch up with some friends I haven't seen in a while. Then off to Maria's party also nice. Peder is the coolest. He and I have now made some really cool plans for a jobproject for me. It's nice to have people around who inspires me instead of bringing me down. I must learn to keep the positive ones in my life and get rid of the negative ones. Got some disturbing news about rumors that are being spread about me. I can't really be bothered with all that shit right now but I probably have to deal with it eventually. Why can't people just leave me the f*ck alone!?!? If your life sucks... well to bad but it's really not my problem and don't lay it on me.
Trust me you do not want to go there...
Guess I'm learning who my friends are.
Today I'm going to spend the day on the couch. I have some writing to do. Need to upload the notes from the latest champagne tasting and then I'm updating my cv.
Intend to rent Hitch tonight too and have a nice dinner.
Am quite excited about the date on Friday. Eric seems to have made some serious plans for the evening and it's all a secret :) Will be fun! Asked what to wear - I am a woman ;) - he said "going out clothes". But does he mean going out like classy dinner-going out, trendy barhopping or what??? Must ask him to be more specific. He is really nice and unmarried which is a big plus considering my last dates... :)
But the downside is that he lives in Malmo, like the extreme south of Sweden. He is originally from Stockholm but moved to Lund for med-school. He is considering moving back to Stockholm if the right opportunity comes along. He actually asked me if I could consider moving to Malmoe. What kind of a question is that...we haven't even met yet.
Oh well, we'll see what happens on Friday.
Oh by the way, HappyButterfly have you watched Crash yet???
Take care and thanks for the support :)

What do I know?!?!
I'm 32 and as of tomorrow unemployed! And, I'm pleased to say, not very worried about the future. Things have a tendency to work out for the best anyway :) I might end up in Paris or New York or London or just stay in Stockholm...
My best friend Mi has some serious trouble at work. She has been very badly treated by her bosses and coworkers so I think her best option is to leave her current job. I am seeing her tomorrow to try to cheer her up a bit. We are going shopping, having dinner and a movie. I'd like to see "Grimm".
Today is the slowest day ever at work. It's nice though as I have some cleaning to do. Got the nicest bottle of wine from my co-workers the other day and they seem quite sad to see me go. God, I hope I won't cry as I leave!
Yesterday I was at Berns: They presented "the 40 most important persons under 40" I see a very slim chance that I'll end up on that list - but I have 8 years to go so we'll see :)
Ran into some friends, Jess among others. Haven't seen her in a while it was nice. Am seeing some of the SC-ladies tonight for some wine and chatting. Brunchgirl is coming, 9 months pregnant. I hope it won't be all baby talk.
Got home just in time to watch the latest episode of Lost. Love that show, it so exciting!
Jocke is lending me Lord of the Rings pt III.
Actually, sometime I miss a real swordfight. Don't get me wrong, I'm not endorsing violence but it seems more fair to fight man to man instead of lauching weapons that kills millions on the other side of the planet but a simple push of a button...
Have a date next Friday with a doctor. He has apparently a whole evening planned out for us and it's all a secret. Wonder what I shall wear?!?! ;) Am probably being a total girl but I do want to look good... I think he is the type Hannah referred to when she told me to start dating nicer men.
Anyway, time for one last coffee and the guys have bought some cake too :)
Take care

Internet-support
from my blogger-buddies makes me happy :)
D is so in the doghouse. He had the nerve to email me today and offer a massage... Damn!
Oh well, he is not my problem but I got some seriously great ideas last night that I actually might practice ;)
Went training today, it was quite fun but I am so tired that I couldn't really focus.
At work today I briefed the girl from Gothenburg who is taking over after me. She is quite odd but very funny. Not the person I would choose to hang out with.
Have a date with a guy who seems very nice, in the good guy sort of way. Maybe Hannah is right I need to stop losing at "bad guys" and go for the good ones instead.
Read Mark's blog about achievements and what you'll bring into a relationship. I think you bring yourself with all your good sides and the bad sides.
It's like Carrie in Sex and the City said: "When you find someone who loves the you you love. That's just fabulous"
So that's what I'm looking for :)
And of course THE passion that'll sweep me off my feet. I want to find the man that makes me want to stop looking for others...

Date with the married man pt II
Found out that D is married. Met a friend of a friend of his and he told me that he is married and has a 1 year old son... Well, what can you say?!?! I'm glad I at least didn't sleep with him. And I do feel sorry for his wife but maybe she knows.... I don't know and I don't care.
He sent me a mail today to apologize and ask for a second date. I haven't answer him yet, don't really know what to say or if I should confront him or just leave it alone.
At work today I got the nicest good bye-gift: a really nice bottle of wine and some chocolate. I'm making a cool pannacotta for Thursday as it is my last day there. Don't know when I'll find the time though but I'll get it done :) I like them a lot and I want to give them something.
Tonight I'm thinking about calling JE to check on how he is doing. He sent me a message today asking if I wanted to meet him after work today. I answered that we should talk later and that I would call him. So I suppose I should call...
Am not really in the mood but I'll see what I'll do later.
I'm just watching the funniest episode of Friends: Chandler is handcuffed to a chair in some womans office :)
Ok, got to eat now and listen to Bodies without Organs

Date with the married man
Friday was the Blind Date-day. Was totally stressed out at work... again or maybe I should say as usual. Stress and having way too much to do is becoming my reality. Never knew work could be like this...
Anyway, Friday after work ran home to pick up contacts I ordered on the internet then back into town to meet Blind date-man.
We met for drinks at Nordic Sea hotel. I was late, of course as I just missed the subway back to town. He was sitting at a table drinking bear. As he got up to greet me the first thing I see is...the wedding ring. What is it about these men. Can't they just pick up some flowers and go home with their wives?!?! He told me he was happily married but wanted to meet someone when he was I Stockholm. Damn, what an a*hole!
Made up an excuse to leave early, the dinner - excuse. Went back home to listen to some cd's I got: Robyn, Lenny Kravitz and Bodies without Organs :) Great music!
D called later and we had a long talk about everything: life, love, work, friends... He is really nice.
Saturday I got up very late and went over to co-worker M's apartment to pick up the last of his stuff. Why do I promise people to do these kinds of things?!?! Called once I got there and he was very happy and grateful.
Went back home and rounded up some friends for a movie/dinner/drink-evening.
Watched the French movie "Cache" - 3,5/5 the ending was very strange and I can't really decide
if I like it or not... But do watch it and give me your opinion :)
Then off to pizzas for dinner at Primo Ciao Ciao and drinks at Storstad. Took a cab home and fell asleep.
Sunday morning D called at a horrible hour! We decide to meet for coffee but he had to change our plans in the last minute... God, I hate that so now he is in the doghouse! Will call him on Tuesday when he has suffered a bit for his poor timemanagement....
Went over to Tanja for her birthday celebration: some lovely cakes, coffee and portwine. Very adult kind of celebration. At least in the beginning and then she broke out some winebottles. Wine at 6 o'clock is a lovely idea :)
Well, better get back to watching Bridget Jones' diary on TV
Have a great evening
Take care

Watched the French movie "Cache" - 3,5/5 the ending was very strange and I can't really decide
if I like it or not... But do watch it and give me your opinion :)
Then off to pizzas for dinner at Primo Ciao Ciao and drinks at Storstad. Took a cab home and fell asleep.
Sunday morning D called at a horrible hour! We decide to meet for coffee but he had to change our plans in the last minute... God, I hate that so now he is in the doghouse! Will call him on Tuesday when he has suffered a bit for his poor timemanagement....
Went over to Tanja for her birthday celebration: some lovely cakes, coffee and portwine. Very adult kind of celebration. At least in the beginning and then she broke out some winebottles. Wine at 6 o'clock is a lovely idea :)
Well, better get back to watching Bridget Jones' diary on TV
Have a great evening
Take care

Fell on my nose
yesterday. In a very un-graceful way as I was running to catch the bus.
The bus obviously stopped and every one stared at me. A nice girl came over to help me get back on my feet. Staggered and limped on to the bus, feeling like a total idiot...
Was stressing to get to the champagnetasting on time.
Then of course, the phone rings and a customer VIP is waiting outside our office to pick up some stuff and who has to go back?!?! Me. He was supposed to come at 1 o'clock but no... he strolls in a 5.15 pm.
Limped of the bus, got on to another and met up with the guy. He was, however, nice enough to give me a ride back downtown.
Got to the tasting 20 mins before it started and AT was quite irritated. The actual tasting went very well.
We tried: Henriot, De Venoge, Launois and Leclerc-Briant
Afterwards some of us went for dinner. Due to VIP-visit I had no time to eat before the tasting so I got quite hungry. Had another glass of wine, some food and went home.
Today it's cold and I'm tired. Am actually quite looking forward to leaving my job. I finally get to sleep in the mornings... but I guess after one week of sleeping in, I'll be climbing the walls again.
Got my self together and email the English application with my translated cv. I have quite high hopes for that job because I think I would enjoy it.
I have another date tonight :) Might be nice... we'll see. We are meeting at Nordic Sea hotel for drinks. I have told him that I have dinner plans later - good thing to have a back up plan if he turns out to be an idiot. If he's nice, I'll tell him my dinner plans changed ;) What a bitch but everyone does it! If I'd go out on a weekday I can always blame work but Fridays is a bit harder.
Am also trying to write a "Thank-you and Goodbye"-mail to my coworkers. It's hard I wish I could just leave and kind of vanish without a trace.
I think I'm going to make them a Pannacotta on Thursday before I leave :) Maybe I'll make the one I had for a dinner party: Muscovadosugar and Gran Marnier... Should be a hit :)
Well, better get back to work now
Take care/E

Running like a fried rat...
is a direct translation of a Swedish expression for when you are totally stressed out. So today is my fried rat-day :)
Have to write a job application in English, translate my cv, pickup 6 bottles of champagne at Systembolaget, bring the bottles to Nordic Light where I am hosting a champagnetasting tomorrow, run back to the other side of town where I'm meeting Mi for dinner and then off to a Robyn-concert. Now, I know it's all my own fault and it's all about pleasure but still... I must whine a little bit...
....
....
Ok I'm done!
So this week has been a full blown chaos at work. Rescheduling of plane tickets, rental cars and hotel rooms. And of course I'm stuck in the middle.
Went training yesterday, was actually quite fun once I got there. Sis is a great training partner. Came home and heated up some lasagna and started reading for the tasting tomorrow. Got some notes done, checked my email and my blog-buddies :).
Tonight is the Robyn-concert which will be fun. Mi and I are going, first to dinner and then the concert. It's sold out so I'm glad to have scored tickets.
Tomorrow Torbjorn and myself are hosting a champagne tasting. This time we are tasting vintages (De Venoge, Launois, Henriot and Pol Roger)
Just heard that the Pol Roger-bottle we ordered has gone missing... So I guess we'll have to find something else.
Now I better get back to creating order in my chaotic life....

One of those days
you just wish where over. No one seems to be able to decide anything at work which makes my work impossible... I just have to sit and wait!
Finished this amazing book I got from Gonzo to review. It really very nice. I finished the review in the last minute.
Found this really cool job that I'm applying for. But I have to write the application in English and I also have to translate my CV.
Did some IMing with the soon to be priest. He keeps bugging about sending hm pictures of me since "looks are so important" God, drop it already. We might met on Friday anyway so then he'll see what I look like and if he doesn't like it... well too bad. The way he was going on about looks I assume he is the hottest guy on the block.
Am trying to get a boule-game and dinner together. Most people have answered yes which is nice. H has said yes to boule and she will probably say no to dinner since she doesn't want to eat with M&J.. they are so cheap bla bla. I would actually prefer if she didn't coma at all. She is not any fun to be around right now.
Oh well, should get to bed now. Have a big customer coming in tomorrow so I must be in the office early.
Sweet dreams

What is it about sex?!?!
Friday Gonzo called and my quiet night at home turned into after work with some wine a Berns and the dinner at Riche. The food was ok, I would say, not great but it's always nice to hang out with Gonzo. She is really an energy kick that I need right now. Will start to look for a new job this week...
At work some of the people I'm working with found out that I'm leaving and got really upset. So I'm gonna try to use some of my contacts to find something and cooler to do.
Was supposed to met D after hours but he was out with some friends and go really drunk so he called me when I got home. He is quite into the... more explicit type of phone sex... I can write the dirtiest textmessages or emails but actually saying it. It's a bit harder :) Well, at least he seemed to enjoy it.... I believe I prefer the "real thing" so to speak.
Saturday was laundry day. Got most of the laundry done and then off to sis to pick up a nutcracker and an oysterknife for the dinner party. Got sms from H asking if I wanted to have dinner with her. I'm sorry to say but I was happy to have other plans. I don't have the strength to deal with her extreme negativity right now. I need people around me to pick me up not drag me down...Tried to talk sis into having dinner with her but she feels the same way about her. It's sad because we usually have fun but lately it's been to much. I pity O who is going to Barcelona with her, I'm glad I'm not going...
The champagne dinner was really nice. Some really nice wines and great conversations. Oysters are not really my thing... to much like seawater for my taste but the rest was great.
Got home at a quite decent hour and called A to decide about breakfast today.
He took me to the strangest place, Cafe String, not really my type of place... but breakfast was nice and I do enjoy his company. We had a nice walk around Soder.
Got home and fell asleep reading the book I'm reviewing. It's not a boring book, but I am so so tired...
D has apparently some back problems so he had to got to some chiropractor... poor guy.
This other guy I've met is also very into sex. I don't know if I bring that out in him or if that is his normal behavior. I've been told that I look like sex but seriously....We are going to met for a drink some time next week and then I'll see what happens.
Oh, and I've been asked out by this guy who is studying to be a priest. We have had some really nice conversations about religion and beliefs. He seems very nice. But can I date a priest??? Don't know unless I try, right :)
Well, dinner is in the owen. Made a lasagna and tried a few new tricks. Let's see what that tastes like.
Tonight I finally watching the movie I got 3 weeks ago, Mona Lisa's smile, with Julia Roberts. Hope it's nice, I need some distraction.
JE called too. His broken arm is better so we are taking a weekend away soon. Maybe I can get him to go to Barcelona with me as other J and myself not really talking anymore. Wonder why, I thought we were cool but apparently not....
Do visit my girl HappyButterfly and cool US army man Chairborne Stranger and don't forget very funny English guy Caustic Sofa
Anyway have a nice Sunday and take care

Fashionistas and madmen
Went to Nordic Light hotel to check out their new martini bar with a date on Wednesday night. The martinis where great, the date was .... strange. He was a very nice guy - well educated, welldressed, wellmannered but very strange. He wanted to talk about sex and sex and sex and then some more sex.... Don't get me wrong I like to talk about sex, can do it for hours but with my friends not total strangers. So I let him do most of the talking and I did most of the martini drinking ;)
Yesterday, sis and I had dinner at Jensens and then we saw Saturday Night Fever with lovely Andreas from Alcazar. The dancing and singing was great - the acting was not so great but Andreas is fab so he is excused.
So inspired by Ali and Gonz I too will state my fashionlist:
My style: working: regular and classic. playing: colors and glam
Favourite designers/brands: Xuly Bet, Tara Jarmon
Budget: increasing...
Fashion icon: Mary J Blige
Must-have this fall: boots, boots, boots
Worst fashion error: Miniskirts and anything during the 80's
Worst fashion memory: Boy toy-clothes
Best-buy: my black Biancoboots from last fall, red Italian dress purchased in Rome in 1997 and I'm still using it.
Worst-buy: a pair of shoes in Budapest - to small and so not me
Favourite clothes: black Bianco boots, butt-loving Cheap Monday-jeans
Favourite shoes: black Bianco-boots, Esprit sneakers
Most expensive: Tara Jarmon-dress which ex-boyfriend still has
My jewelry box: all about silver
My fashion motto: Fuck it, I'm fab :)
This weekend is all about luxury: doing the vintage champagnedinner thing tomorrow and Sunday it's fab brunch with lovely A.
The Wednesday-date guy called and wanted to have drinks tonight. I haven't decided yet but one quick drink can't hurt (famous last words ;)).
On Thursday there is the champagnetasting so I need to start cramming my books again.
Ok, back to work now. Have so much to do today I don't even know where to start....
Take care

Battered and bruised
and oh so tired!! But having good faith for a great fall and winter.
Picked up the jeans I've been craving - Cheap Monday - just love them!
Applied for a really cool job today too. Have to work on my CV now as I only have 3 more weeks to go now. But it looks like it'll be some very busy 3 weeks.
Read my horoscope today and it seems like I will have a lot of fun comingmy way. I only believe in it when it says something good or fun... like "you are having a pair of Manolos strutting your way" ;)
Got an amazing energykick from my girl Gonzo last time I saw her. She has had some bad news but I hope everything will work out for the best.
A is back - amazing, sexy, funny and great sex-A. We had the best time last summer and I haven't forgotten about him, or any of the things we did. Well, we'll see how things work out...
Am still looking in to moving to Paris to work. Don't really know what I'll do there but Paris is always Paris. Can never get enough of that city :)
Need to catch up on my sleep now
See ya

CRASH!!
God, what a movie. It is by far the best one I've seen this year. It has everything: laughter, tears, frustration, anger...Had a great weekend.
Friday was By the Sea with PLF and some of her friends. Had some wine and some really good laughs. Got home at a quite decent hour due to some stuff to do on Saturday.
Saturday met M for some serious shopping. First off to the STREET-market at Soder. Picked up the most amazing ring 400 sek, but I'm worth it. Then stopped by WeekDays for some Cheap Monday-jeans but didn't have the patience to wait in line so I'll go back on Monday. M needed some jeans so off to TopShop and the Lee-store. Tried to get her to buy the same ACNEjeans as I have but she wasn't sure... I'll keep on working on it cause with her legs they really work :)
I needed boots - got the nicest pair at Bianco and a quick stop at HM got me a few new tops. I wish I was as efficient when it comes to work as I am when I'm shopping :)
Meet J for a quick coffee and then we saw Crash. Am still totally affected by it, amazing :)
After the movie we had a nice Italian dinner at Kol & Kox. Got home and tried on some of my new outfits and went to bed.
Got a weird sms from creepy date guy at 4.30 but can't bothered to answer it. My one fear is that he'll just show up on my doorstep one day. Wonder what I'll do then....On one hand I am a 32 year old woman and quite capable of taking care of myself but on the other if he wants to hurt me (or worse) I'm on my own...
J sent a mess from a "schlager"-party. Doesn't seem like his scene. He seems more like a rock kind of guy.
Today I slept for hours, guess I needed the sleep. Then I met AT and F to plan our huge champagnedinner thing. We'll be downing 3000 sek worth of champagne - will be so nice!
Chatted a bit with Andre in London. He invited me to come and stay with him when I'll be unemployed.
Have to start reading the book I'm reviewing. It due on the 11th.
Take care
