I am in a committed relationship and I don't know how it happened. I guess when it's right it's right.
Friday sis and I went to buy the sheets for G&V. Then we went back to our parents place for dinner. Sis looked like she was up o something all night and as we were leaving it turns out that she had a date that night. I offered to join her just to make sure that the guy was not a psycho (that's at least my official reason - I'm curious) but she said no. I called Mr S and we met up and went to Vinbaren for some wine and cheese. I like the fact that he is as into wine as I am. We had a really nice time until a couple came and sat down at the table next to us.
Sometimes I get a bad feeling about a person and the guy really gave me the creeps...
Saturday my parents were supposed to come over with the printer they gave me. I thought this could be a good time for them to met with Mr S, briefly and casually. My mum calls and I tell her that Mr S was at my place. She sounds very uncomfortable and it turns out that she sends dad in and he acts like a total idiot. I got angry and upset both for my sake and for Mr S.
Anyway, I tried not to let it get to me, even if it did.
Mr S and I spent Saturday together. We decided to go to the countryside. We went to Gripsholms castle and Mariefred, a small (very small) town right next to the castle. We had coffee and sandwiches in a place that didn't accept credit cards...
As we came home we rented Wedding Crashers (1,5/5) and The Weather Man (4/5).
And I fell asleep.
Sunday I met up with my friends for brunch and then off the G&V-reception. Hannah called and couldn't find the way to the hotel where we met. To my misfortune I answered the phone and had to take her abuse. Like it's obviously someone else's fault that she can't find her way around town... Might be nice if she could grow up and take some responsibility. I do understand that her life is about to change in a major way as she is finally done with her thesis this fall. But still... nice behavior is not to much to ask for.... or is it.
As I come to think of it... she wants to go abroad, probably the US, and do an MBA. Almost all of my friends have studied abroad, and so have I, and she is like the last one to go. I do wonder if she is nervous about going since she might not be as good a scholar as she wants to be...
And her behavior towards Mr S is still weird...
Gotto get going now, I have a meeting in town soon...
Take care
Love/E

Happy Birthday to me :)
I'm 33 now wishing I was 27... My next "big" birthday is f***ing 40.
Have had the nicest couple of days, very much including Mr S. I worked until quite late on my actual birthday. Mr S was invited to the opening of a new posh club downtown and he asked if I wanted to join him. We went and it was... ok. The place is really cool, in a sort of designed cool way but the party was kind of dull. No dancefloor, nothing really happening just the same people you see around town hanging out and having drinks. I guess I should give it a couple of visits before I decide.
For my birthday Mr S gave me a bottle of champagne I hadn't tried before, 3 red roses and a 50 euro gift certificate at NK. God, I nearly started crying. As I'm writing this I'm staring at the fab roses.
Yesterday I gathered some of my friends for dinner and drinks at Pontus by the Sea. We had a really nice time, in spite of the fact that Hannah (true to her judgmental self) started going off on her thoughts on healthcare and money. I believe she actually looked Mr S in the eyes 3 times during the entire evening... and when she called to tell me that she was on her way her comment to his presence was "that figures". It's hard to believe that this is the same person who goes on and on about people having no class and being trashy.
At least the rest of my friends seemed to like him. I know he is nervous about my friends not liking him. He has most of his friends in the south of Sweden and he wants us to go down there for a weekend so I can met with them. That could be fun and I would also get to met lovely Sus who lives in Malmoe.
Today I'm having the compulsory birthday dinner with my parents. My dad called me the other day and told me what he is getting me: a wireless network :)
He seems to be doing well and he told me that he has lost some weight. If it's due to the cancer or just vanity I don't know.
Today sis and myself are meeting to pick up the weddingpresent for G&V. We are getting them fierce sheets.
Got the final booking confirmation for the boat for the summer :) It's just one month to go and then I'll be sipping Sancerre wine on the Loire river. Am so looking forward to that.
Mr S asked if he could join us in Paris but I'm not sure. I think this time I'm going to do Paris with my friends and he and I could go later. We have plenty of time since I do believe that this is my man.
Am now slowly staving so breakfast is a must
Take care/E

The Monsters strike back
I'll be damned! Lordi won the ESC!!
Was over at A-K's place for our annual ESC-evening. Plenty of laughs, wine and fun. We also did the usual betting thing. I thought that Russia would wine and Finland would come in 3rd, but how wrong was I??!! I thinks it was great and kept playing "Hard Rock Hallelujah" in my Ipod all day yesterday :)
Last week was The Week from Hell. Was working double almost everyday and was so tired on Friday I nearly started crying when I dropped a wineglass on the floor at Huvudsta. This week seems so much better already. Having my hair weaved tomorrow and I'm only working Wednesday and Thursday :) AND on Wednesday it's my birthday. I'll be 33 but I can't decide if that is a good age or not... One might think that at 33 I would have a plan, or at least some idea of what I'm gonna do with my life but one is so terribly wrong. All I really want to do is buy shoes, drink cocktails and laugh...
The weekend was great! Friday Mr S came back from Malmoe and he came over with some take out sushi and wine. We had a really nice time and....yes he told me that he is in love with me :)
Saturday I needed to pick up a dress for the G&V- pre-wedding event next weekend. Mr S has a car, a really cool 2-seater, so he gave me a ride to one of the big malls a bit outside of town and I finally found a dress. One thing less to be all stressed out about. Then we picked up thaifood and went home so I could change clothes.
Stopped by Hannah's on my way to A-K for a quick glass of wine. I got the feeling that she wanted to apologize for being a total bitch last weekend but she eventually didn't. What she did say, and that seriously bothers me is that she thinks Mr S is "slimy". Seriously, grow up girl!
Sunday we, that is Mr S and me not Hannah and me, had breakfast in bed and then we went to the movies with Henri. "The DaVinci code". I can't really decide if I liked it or not. The actual film is very...nice. The photo is great, good actors, the storyline is ok but there is something missing....I'd give it 2,5/5 because it really never gets exciting.
Then we went over to sis' place for some dinner and the hockeygame. And I'm proud to say that Sweden won again. World champions and Olympic champions in the same year - how cool isn't that?!?! So now he has met my sister and Henri too and I think it went well. Must however call sis and check what she thought of him.
Almost all the arrangements for our summer holiday are final now. The boat has been paid for, what is missing is hotels in Paris and traintickets. Am so looking forward to going to Paris again :)
Spoke to my dad on Saturday. He was out buying new stuff for his computer so I suppose he is doing quite well. He is having surgery this fall and seems to be in good spirit so am I.
Take care

"I've never fallen in love...
only stepped in it a few times" That is my favorite quote from my favorite movie "Peter's Friends" (if you haven't seen it, it's a must!!)
Anyway, I supposed you could say that I am close to stepping into it right now :) Am seeing the very passionate Mr S at them moment. We met for the first time some time ago, while I was still seeing Dr C, at a network-lunch. A couple of days later we had lunch. Then all the stuff with Dr C started and ended so we didn't really met at all.
Last Monday we met for icecream before sis and me treated dad to dinner.
Monday we had dinner at RAW, probably the best sushi I've had in a long time. Afterwards we went to another place for cheese and dessert. Then back to his place ;)
We have spent every night together since Thursday and it's really great. With him I immediately know what is going on and he actually tells me how he feels.
Friday I had drinks with Hannah and Emilia and Mr S joined us a bit later. Then we strolled around town to find something to eat. We decided to try a place called The Dancing Dingo - looking back the name should have been a warning... Hannah and I had kangaroomeat - let's just say it wasn't great. We were treated to dessert that wasn't great either. All in all it was probably the worst meal I've had in a long time.... Or no I should give them credit for having really good wine and bread....
Saturday we met with Hannah for some shopping. I need a dress for a pre-wedding party I'm going to in two weeks. Didn't find a dress but picked up a pair of new cool sneakers :)
In the evening we rented a movie "The Aviator" with Leo DiCaprio, surprisingly good.
Next week could turn out to full blown chaos. I have two jobs now plus some things to do for my own company... Well, I can sleep when I'm old and wrinkled.
Better get back to my laundry!
Take care/E

Music, music
so the Eurovision Song Contest is getting closer by the minute. I love it and I hate it. Love it because it is the one time when I can binge eat tons of candy, bounce up and down on the couch yelling at the tv "you suck"...or wait I actually did that during the icehockey championships to. Anyway, Finland is causing a huge deal this year by sending Lordi and I LOVE IT!!! They look like the UrukHai from the Lord of the Rings but the song kicks some serious booty :)
Today it's nice and sunny so I suppose I should leave the couch. Tonight I'm having dinner with sis and dad. My mother is in France celebrating a friends 70th birthday. I wish my friends would whisk me away to Nice for my birthday. Hey guys, you have 2 weeks to buy the tickets ;)
Dad, being the strong silent type, doesn't really want tot talk about his illness. It's kind of hard to bring it up when he so obviously does not want to. Well, we'll see what happens.
Last week I spent stressing about Dr C's party. It went very well apart I think. Hannah and me went over there right after the winetastsing at Uffes. Since I had spent Friday fixing most of the food all we had to do was setting things up.
We stayed long enough to hear some guy, Dr C has the strangest friends I must say, telling a story about how he was I New York and I quote "a big fat f***ing n****r" was driving his cab. That was my que to exit! Seriously, anyone using the N-word is just not ever ok. They deserve nothing but contempt and public flogging!
Hannah and me left the party and went to AG for some wine.
Now I just got a call from Mr S and we are meeting for coffee.
Thursday I was supposed to go on a date with Marty, a guy I met on the dating site (yes, I'm back there again) but he had to go to London on business. He promised he will make it up to me next week with a large amount of champagne. And I intend to hold him to his word :)
Now, I strongly suspect my girl Gonzo is in love and that is lovely :)
All in all I have to say this week has been fun and I have a good feeling about the rest of 2006. We are almost half way and like the song goes "things can only get better"
And, one more thing before I go: I have friends like Sam and I love them dearly. Thanks!
