With a little bit of luck...

and some work we'll be done with the apartment this week end :)
Mr S is in Munich on a job interview. I really hope he gets that job since that company has an office in Paris and I would love to live there :)

At work it's the usual chaos. But I believe it hit rock bottom two night ago when a large group came in, ordered the most expensive champagne we have and unpacked 3 bags of take out hamburgers... people never stop amazing me. And just to make matters worse the left without paying the bill. Fortunately they were staying at the hotel so we could find them.
The new Maitre D' seems to be an odd figure, I can't really figure her out yet.

Bought three amazing lamps last week end, probably the most expensive lamps I've ever bought but they were totally worth the money. Ran into Stepbro with wife and 2 kids at the furniture store. The kids are cute and all that but I'm so glad that they are not mine and it's not my life. I'm happy living in an apartment with white walls with Mr S.

At the moment I'm working on finding a kitchen we both like, and a bathroom.

Have the weekend off so tomorrow I'm going shoe shopping ;) Haven't bought new shoes in a while. Actually I think I'm going to buy some shoes and then pick up a glossy magazine and have a late lunch and a cosmopolitan or a glass of champagne. Oh yes, sounds like a lovely plan for Friday!

Now back to the laundry.

Take care

Ups and Downs

On the upside:
- new winter coat from Zara
- got a nice offer from the hotel manager at work: will get a dinner for two all expenses payed by work. Guess I must be doing something right :)
- Sunday brunch with sis and a bit of shopping
- Walk in closet almost done
- New bed delivered

On the downside:
- Didn't know that renovating would take so long
- Dust everywhere
- Too much work leaves no time to play
- Creepy guests at the restaurant (Finnish guy got drunk and fell asleep at his table...)

Mr S promised me that the renovating will be done by next week but I have my doubts. As I think about it the apartment wasn't that bad...

Take care/E

A life offline

is no life. If you're not on the Internet you don't exist! I have been offline for almost a week now due to moving into the new place. The actual move went quite well but at the moment I live in a total chaos of dust and paper covered floors.
A friends of Mr S (I call him The Kid since he is only 23) is helping us repaint the apartment.
I got to choose the colours so wed will have one gold coloured wall in the outer hall, the living room will be grey and pearl white with a red stripe right behind the TV. Once it's all done I'll try to post some pictures...

Work is the usual chaos, we are under staffed and fully booked. Lately there has been a lot of events: Future Design Days and the Filmfestival. What is it about "arty" people, can't they just relax and have fun?!?! Their parties seems to be more about checking who else is there and who you should avoid...

Sis has met a new man. We had dinner together a while ago and went to the movies, watched Borat (4,5/5). I haven't laughed that much in ages! It is truly a must.
Anyway, I don't really like the guy, he just gave me a bad vibe.... but I have to give him a chance since it was the first time we met and he was probably nervous.

At the moment I am eagerly waiting for the new beds we bought to arrive. They were supposed to deliver them yesterday along with the rest of the stuff we bought but the beds didn't fit in the van. I called the transport company yesterday and told them they must be here before 2 since I'm working today... we'll see...

Last night I met up with some of the girls fr dinner and drinks at Diplomat, The food was a huge disappointment but the the champagne was great :)

Wedding updates: None - focus has been on moving and getting everything in order. But once that is done I suppose we should try to find a nice place for the party. I do tend to spend more time planning the party than the actual ceremony. Wonder what that says about me?!?! ;)

I got my first real paycheck the other day so I intend to spend some money on myself... simply because I'm worth it :)
Winter hit with a vengeance on November 1st. I couldn't get home for all the snow so some of us got to stay at Nordic Sea hotel :) It's amazing how this happens every year once the snow comes. All the roads get blocked and public transports completely break down. It took my father 2,5 hrs to get home, it's usually a 20 mns buss ride...
I can't believe it since we do live in the northern part pf the world where it does snow!

Better get on with something now

Take care/E
