My evil twin

Girlfriend Jezz brought a person calling him or herself Dan Leffler to my attention. He or she has posted comments on my friends bloggs and webpages posing as me.
If anyone gets an email or a comment from Dan Leffler or EJP (email: serenity_73@gmail.com) then is not me!

Take care/E

Let it snow

Last Saturday the winter really came. I was having afternoon tea with some friends. Going into the cafe the weather was OK... as we were leaving the snow was blowing in sideways. Today it is sunny but really cold. And I am watching the European figure skating championships :)

Met with the Ladies from Sallskapet yesterday. We had a lovely dinner at Ingrid's and exchanged some make up stuff. I walked away with some really nice eye shadows and a fierce top.
Met with sis earlier to go to our favorite shop JUS and their annual sale. I bought a jacket and a pair of pants from POUR. The designer is my friend H's sisters boyfriend....

New on the apartment: We bought a really cool table for the living room. I think it'll work great with the big couch. My apartment is slowly starting to come together :)
I do, however, live with a very neat man. Mr S has filed all my papers in a cupboard, it's a good thought but I can't find them... Annoying! But I guess it's a nice thought from his side.

A nice thing happened at work: I am going to be in charge of the wine cellar :) So for the next two weeks I am going to spend looking through all the bottles. Am really looking forward to this project! It also means that I'll be working on my own and I won't be needing to confront our new Bar manager. I feel quite sorry for him since after two days everyone hated him and he hasn't really improved. I think he is really unsure of him self and need to put people "in their place".

Wedding update: Mr S found a place that seems promising for the party. It down town, we can bring our own booze and it's not too strict. We are going to check it out this weekend.

Take care

Me on 2006

My best memory:
- Vacation with my friends on the riverboat in France

My worst memory:

This year I stopped:
- caring so much of what other think of me
- spending time with people who drag me down

I'd love to take back:
- the great summer
- some things I've said that has hurt some people

And I won't take back:
- the promise I've made to myself to become a happier and stronger person

Most overestimated:
- A lot of stuff

Most underestimated:

Chock of the year:

OK, I admit:

My name is Bond

James Bond. As one of the last persons on earth I saw the latest James Bond movie this weekend. It's a pre-quel "how James Bond became the man he is" kind of thing.
Daniel Craig did a good job filling Pierce Brosnan's suit. There was a lot of showing of Daniel's well tones body and a lot of poker playing - something for everyone. I did enjoy the body more than the poker games and I mostly enjoyed Mads Mikkelsen as Le Chiffre, he is really really HOT
One thing I like about Mr S is that he really doesn't care if I comment on another man's look.
Like my psycho-ex boyfriend did.
Any way, after the movie we took a stroll around town to find someplace to have a drink. We ended up at Berns where they have an amazing drink list. Had a few drinks while watching the crowd. It's amazing how little clothes some people put on for a night out. Some get away with it but most people don't.
Sunday Mr S and I watched the first season of CSI on DVD. I really love that series.
And then we went out to his office to pick up some stuff. As I entered the door the alarm went off! Eventually a security guy showed up but that was after about 20 mins... Had it been a break in we would have had plenty of time to empty the whole office and leave.

Oh, and one more thing: to the gentlemen who was kind enough to offer me a date. Thanks but no thank. I have found my love and intend to stay with him, married or not :)

Take care
Love/E

New Year

Worked all night on New Years eve at NH. Sis and some friends were there for dinner and celebration. Afterwards we went over to sis' place for a few drinks. Since I was working the nest day too we didn't stay late.

The new bar manager has started and I dislike him already. He seems quite insecure and shows it by trying to put people in their place... Well actually he doesn't really speak to me since I'm a waitress and he is the bar manager, but his attitude annoys the h*ll out of me.
Am quite sick of NH so I'll start looking for a new job.

Mr S is choosing between 2 jobs, the lucky guy. He wants them both.
I am trying to talk him out of getting married and into spending the money on a world wide shopping spree for the two of us. He is not convinced yet and I don't think he ever will be. He wants to get married.

Now, my list of 5 thing I want to happen this year:

1. I'll get a fab job, maybe even run my own wine bar
2. I finally get my drivers license
3. We finish the apartment
4. Mr S and I travel to Paris and Rome
5. I will continue feeling good about myself and become a stronger person.


Best wishes for 2007

Love/E
