I seriously need a break! Some sun would be nice too. I don't ask for much: a week end in a warm place with some food, some wine and a lot Mr S...
Work is boring. Mr M is getting fired for "having criticised the management". I guess we live in North Chorea now and not a democracy. What he did was he sent a letter to or bosses with some remarks and ideas how to improve our work situation. Next year, in February, a new design hotel will open just around the corner from my job and that means some serious competition. And they are getting Marcus Samuelsson from Aqvavit in New York to start up their dining room.
Sometimes I don't know why I even bother...
This week we are meeting with the wedding coordinator person...I am not looking forward to that. She does not share my opinion about how the bar is the most important factor at a party.
It's just simple math: people drink - people relax - people have fun or drink themselves into oblivion to forget a crappy party! Simple!!
I didn't buy The Dream Bag. Well, at least I haven't bought it yet, instead I got a pair of black high heels and a bag from Zara. I will look fab wearing them :)
My mother called and informed me that she is hosting a family get together in two weeks. Since I never went to the last one not coming isn't an option. All my cousins i.e The Dull Crowd will be there with their kids. And so I expect a lot of questions about wedding and family plans etc etc.
I wonder why it is mostly women who find it so provocative when I say that children are not in my plans... ever. Sometimes I think they look upon me like a freak. Well, I guess I'll be hanging with my lovely child free friends and Mr S and enjoy the live we have chosen for ourselves.
Take care
Love/E

Perfection
In my quest for the perfection I have found the perfect bag! It's not just a bag - it's a small piece of heaven on earth - simply a masterpiece by the master himself Salvatore Ferragamo. When I was in Firenze some years ago I visited him museum and fell in love. And now I have found the object of my almost uncontrollable desire. It will cost me about 1300 euros but it's money well spent and it'll also give me 1300 new point on my Am Ex Gold card. Whenever I shop I use that as an excuse - the more points I have the more upgrades we'll get on our honeymoon :)
Mr S doesn't really agree with my logic, he said something like: typical women...
On good thing about my job is the give aways: invitations to wine tastings and sample bottles of wine. At the moment I'm working on a Pommery After Work-event. So a nice man from the Pommery agent in Stockholm gave me three small bottles in the coolest bag. Now all I have to do is convince our restaurant manager that this is a wonderful idea. His first comment was: "That is a bit to gay for my taste" He just doesn't get it, which I also told him. Sometimes I wish I could keep my mouth shut! But making that kind of comment it never OK. It just isn't.
Sis' birthday is on Saturday. Since I'm working I have forced her to come and have dinner at the restaurant. I have bought her a book about the south of France since she is going there on vacation. She and some of her friends are renting a car and driving from Cannes. Sounds really nice. What we will do this summer I don't know yet. It seems like it'll just be sis, me, Mr S and M. Henri. But maybe the fewer the better.
I have bought a dress. I'm not yet sure if it's The Dress but it's A Dress, long and red. I would never wear white, it's just not my colour. It was not too expensive, about 370 euros. Next week we are meeting with the wedding coordinator. She comes along with the place for the wedding. I don't really feel like we need one but she might have connections we can use.
She wrote an email to me saying that it is about time that we meet. Good god, we are going to say "Yes" and then just party - no big deal. There'll be no floral arrangements, no seating, no speeches. Just a great bar, good friends, great music and party. How hard can it be?!?!
Now, I have to eat!
Take care/E
