Had this amazing idea for a book this morning. I had the whole first chapter, or at least parts of it in my head and now it's unfortunately gone... It was a really good story though, about a timetraveller called Lucious, a very beautiful man, who helped people get their lives back in order.
I was seriously considering writing a book a while ago. Comparing to some of the really crappy books I've read it can't be that hard.
My life is for once quite under control: I have a new job starting Monday. I'll be at Nordic Light hotel working in the restaurant and eventually they'll be opening a winebar where I'll be. I think it's a good plan for the future.
And the good news is that Mr S and me are going to sign a contract for a new apartment today. We got it for a very good price 18.000 euros, believe me for Stockholm this is good :) It's a 3-room apartment so I will get my walk in closet. A friend of Mr S who is a carpenter is going to help out renovating.
On Saturday we are throwing a party to empty our booze cupboard before we move out. It should be fun. There'll be about 20 people, mostly my friends. Mr S's friends are quite weird in that way. They all live in Skane and never leave it. For instance: when we all traveled to Vilnius for Gosta's wedding he was surprised since he and his friends would never do anything like that. Hardly any of them will be coming to our wedding since we are doing it here in Stockholm.
Too bad!
Now I must get on with something a bit more productive than surfing the web.
Take care

Switch
The election results are in and the right wing alliance won. So Sweden is up for a system shift. I do think it's for the better. The socialdemocrats have ruled for 10 years and a change is necessary. I'm looking forward to the next 4 years :)
Last week was all about work. Did my trial day at Nordic Light and it went quite well. You know how sometimes there are people you don't like, just like that and for no real reason. Well, this one girl at Nordic is exactly like that. She didn't like me and I didn't like her... but we worked together all night. I will however be the bigger person and be disgustingly nice and pleasant towards her.
I also worked at Huvudsta which was nice as always.
Friday Mr S and me stayed at home watching the final pre-election debate. Saturday we didn't do much until it was about time to go to Jessica's party. Just as I was about to start getting ready I got a call from Nordic Light and I got the job :) YESSS!!!
We decided to go out for dinner - my treat, before the party.
Jessica's party was nice as always. Got to met some friends I haven't seen in a while and also made some new friends. Met one of my blogger buddies IRL.
Sunday I wish I could have slept in but I had for some reason (I'll never know why) booked laundry at 9 in the morning and then we went apartment hunting all day. Some apartments are really horrible, total style disasters.
Sunday night Henrik had his birthdayparty/ electionevening. Was nice but some people had just a little too much to drink :) (nb it was not me ;))
Last night I took my rings off as I was washing my face. I tend to take it off when I shower and stuff. Anyway, this morning it's gone. I think Mr S has taken it - don't know why though. He was odd when he left this morning, seemed kind of upset but I was half asleep so I didn't really ask him about it. I guess we'll talk when he comes home tonight.
To him the rings are important symbols but to me they are not. I guess we need to come to some sort of understanding about this. I love him regardless any piece of jewelry....
Now I have to clean the apartment...again as a realestate person is coming tomorrow. We have found an apartment we like and are probably buying it.
Take care/E

Choices we make
Soon it's election time in Sweden. This means that all the different parties are trying to get votes in any way they can. I have not yet decided how I am going to vote but I'll probably go for the right wing alliance as I usually do. I strongly believe that Sweden needs a change in the political system. The socialdemocrats have been in charge too long and nothing has changed.
Yesterday it was 5 years since the World Trade centers were attacked. Still no sign of Usama and still no end to the so called War on Terror. I wonder how long it'll be until someone can admit that they were wrong.
I personally am trying to choose a nice dress for my wedding, an fierce apartment and a cool job. I think I have seen too many apartments - I wonder if I am getting an overdose on seeing how other people live...
Mr S and me went into this one place last Sunday and they had carpets everywhere and the walls where covered in paintings and silly little decorations. Who can live like that??!?! I have 6 paintings on my walls - that's it!
Last weekend was all about parties :) Friday was Hannah's dissertation thing. We made the silliest presentation about our holidays. Some actually thought we were serious... Everyone seemed to have a good time and I got a lot of compliments about my wine choices. Mr S got seriously drunk and shook his little booty on the dancefloor to everyones enjoyment. I guess his Saturday morning was less enjoyable since he had to get up and help some friends move... I stayed in bed until 11 and then I dragged myself over to the couch and watched a American Next Top Model - marathon.
Saturday night we went over to PLF's birthday celebration. We stayed until 2 but then I was so tired I could have fallen asleep on the spot. Sunday we saw some apartments and then dinner with my parents to celebrate the engagement. We exchanged the rings in bed at 3 in the morning :)
Tomorrow I am working my "test day" at Nordic Light hotel. I hope it'll go well...
Take care

The Ring
I'm wearing it right now and it is looking very fierce. Gives me quite an adult look :) We are not yet officially engaged but I'm a bride in training one might say. The big day is planned for Sunday since we are partying both Friday and Saturday.
I think I have decided on what job to choose: I'll go for Nordic Light. It seems like the wiser choice after all. Unless I'll change my mind again...
Right now I'm sitting opposite of Mr S in the kitchen. He is working and I am just surfing the web checking up on my blogger buddies :)
Yesterday I was supposed to go training but I misread the schedule and got to the gym about one hour late... Well, I went running instead and it was ok. Might be running with a friend next week. It'll be good for me - I need a bit of a kick in the ass when it comes to training.
Today I made Mr S drive me around town to pick up the booze for Hannah's dissertation party on Friday. First of to Solna to pick up the wine I ordered. The woman clerk could find my order in the computer since the idiot who answered the phone when I called spelled my name wrong. Had he forgotten the h in the end - fine it happens but he wrote Elisadeth instead of Elisabeth...Eventually she found the order and we could get going. Today I've spent 700 euros on alcohol :) Seems like it'll be a great party. Made a very exclusive playlist for her. I think she'll like it.
I have no idea what to wear for Hannah's party. Her mother is coming and she is apparently quite traditional and stiff. I wonder if white shoes and red dress will be ok. I have a tendency to look a bit like a Park Avenue call girl in red but this dress is kind of low key.
God, I'm tired and tomorrow I'm putting in a 12-hour shift at Huvudsta. Sometime I lead a charmed life and sometimes I'm only one step away from hard labor....
Better get into bed now
Take care/E

New beginnings
I have currently 3 cool joboffers and need to decide soon. One might say that I am quite indecisive. Sometimes it takes me 10 mns to decide what cheese to get at the supermarket...So how can I decide about work?!?!
The first one is at a restaurant called Paus where I would be an actual sommelier. Their menu is really ambitious but it's still a very nice and not at all posh.
The second one is Nordic Light Hotel. The interview was today and I seriously rocked. If I'm thinking career Nordic Light is the way to go.
The third is Huvudsta where I use to work.
God, how can I decide this?!?!
Wedding update: we are picking up the rings today - they are fierce.
Went into a creepy dress store today and Oh My God! White princess dresses isn't really me...
Take care
