Saw "The Devil wears Prada" (4/5) last night. Really liked it up until the cheesy ending. I don't really believe a girl would give up a career like she did and don't even get me started on the boyfriend! A more unsupportive person than him I couldn't imagine....
But the clothes... and the shoes... Loved them.
Picked up a pair of shoes and a couch at Livingstore for the new apartment. God, we are moving on Sunday and I haven't packed a single thing yet... Today I intended to get started on packing my clothes but I don't know where to start. Maybe I'll just start with my sheets instead. And then I have to make sure that I get my internet and phone connection in the new apartment too.
Apparently the latest fashion in the wedding industry is the Morning Gift To Him (Morning Gift used to be land or a house so that the newly married woman would have something in case the husband would die). These days the morning gift is erotic or exotic photos of the bride in lingerie. Mr S loves it, I don't. I hate having my picture taken as it is and doing it crawling around on a big bed in my underwear... it won't happen!!
I got all this information from a wedding magazine I picked up yesterday after the movie. In the magazine I also found the most depressing articles and ugly dresses. Told Mr S that I'm not the woman who will wear a meringue dress and smile on a pile of rose petals, which is in my opinion a terrible waste of flowers...
Now I should get on with my packing...
Take care

Remember the 80ies
Saw George Michael yesterday and it was really nice. He truly has an amazing voice and the whole concert was very slick, the stage setup was great and the musicians too.
Had a really nice weekend, finally and entire weekend off work!
Friday I went out and picked up a pair of very cool boots from Bianco. Met up with Mr S for a quick coffee. He was in quite a bad mood due to a job offer he got. He wants the job but feels like the terms weren't as good as he wanted them to be.
Negociations continues...
Saturday it was the Home Design/Digital Home fair. It was well worth a visit since we found a couch we actually both liked :)
The Digital Home part of the fair wasn't really my scene. I'm quite happy with my "old" stereo - I've had it for 3 years now and it is apparently out dated.... The thing to have these days is a small box that you connect to your computer and hidden speakers in every room. Hmm, Mr S is getting one of those for the new apartment...whatever makes him happy...
Sunday it was the Travel fair. Not as big as I expected but it was fun. They had arranged a semi blind winetasting (when you know which wines you're tasting but not the exact order) and I am proud to say that I nailed the result :)
Today it's raining and I'm working until 1.30 am....
Take care

Just say No
I have what one might call a "saying-no" -issue. I find it hard to say no to things. Mostly to fun things like going out for dinner when I've planned to stay in. I never say no to that last drink. You know the one drink you shouldn't have, the one drink that makes you swear that you are never drinking again the next morning.
Unfortunately I also have a hard time saying no to phonesales people, extra working hours and any other kind of charities.
BUT yesterday I said no to extra hours at Huvudsta and this morning I said no to a fundraiser who called and wanted me to donate 200 sek to the deaf. Now I feel bad about that but I rather choose my own charities (usually MSF).
I'm selling my apartment. It feels kind of sad, since I really love it. I have been very happy here but I guess it's time to move on with Mr S. On November 1st we get the keys to our new place. We discussed the wedding last night but we didn't make any decisions more than that we are going to take an evening and try to make some definitive plans. At least we must find a place to have the party. It's weird whenever we talk about or I think about the wedding it's always the party. We haven't discussed the actual ceremony or the major thing: being married. But I suppose every day life won't be that different.
I found a cool movie sale so I picked up some movies:
Crash
Must Love Dogs - saw the other day 2,5/5
Pusher
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
The Cave - saw it last night and it was a total waste of time. I'd give it 0,5/5 and now I'm being nice!
Tomorrow I'm taking a course in "Responsible alcoholmanagement"...

Job v/s Life
I used to have a life but now I have a job.... or to be correct 2 jobs. I can't say no to Huvudsta because I like working there and at Nordic I'm still the "new girl" so I need to make an impression. If it was up to me I wouldn't work at all just hang around and do nothing.
So we have put down the 10% down payment on the new apartment and it will be officially ours on November 1st. That'll be nice. A friend of Mr S is going to help us with some redecoration and painting. I hope it won't take too long.... I want to move in as soon as possible.
Our party was great and since then it seems like all I've done is working. The job at Nordic is fine, not that many guests which is too bad since the place has great potential. I have a 6 months trial period and after that I'll evaluate it and see how it feels if I want to stay or not. The upside is obviously the money, that I get to do something I enjoy and that I'm having fun. The downside are the working hours - I hardly ever get to sit down and have dinner at home anymore since I work almost all evenings and weekends, I miss out on a lot of stuff with Mr S and my friends and I'm sleeping most of the day and come home late at night.
Sometimes Mr S annoys me. He has so many plans and says that he is going to fix stuff but nothing ever happens. I left a light build for him to change and it was just lying on the kitchen table for 2 weeks until I changed it myself... MEN!
Wedding updates: none I did however look at dresses again but white is really my thing. I don't really know how I want the wedding to be. Mr S says "all I care about is that we do it" But I intend to get married once and then I want every thing to be great. When the time is right I'll bring it up with him. Right now everything has been so crazy with my job and us moving...
Now of to work!
