at last! I'm free... or at least I will be in about 12 hours. The end of NH and never again :)
My sweet J is also leaving, he is off to work at a very posh night club. I think his gay-diva attitude will work wonders there.
I wonder how my black-diva attitude will work at the new place. I'll find out in August and keep you posted...
Take care

Back in business
Have been home for about a week now. Greece was lovely!
We had a few days in Athens for some citylife and shopping. The Acropolis was closed due to strike but I suppose it'll be there next time I go to Athens :)
Big things have happens in Ms E's life:
I have landed a new high end job. Junior Sales Executive. It sounds great but it's hard work for shit money. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to accept it, or well I have accepted it but I haven't decided yet if I'm going to start. it is supposed to start on August 6th so I still have some time to decide.
This is my last weekend at NLH. Thank God! I wasn't actually supposed to work but after meeting my sweetheart J I decided to be a good sport and finish in style. Apparently he has been on his own for a few days as Miss J now is the "shift supervisor" and too good to actually work...
So I guess I'll be running my ass of for a few days. Oh well, my ass has become pretty big so if I loose some of it, it's a good thing :)
Picked up a huge amount of dvds on sale the other days so I have stuff to do. And I also wasted almost 3 hrs of my life watching the horror "Transformers". My god, I have seen a few shit movies in my life but this... People starve in the world and money are being wasted on crap like that!
Yesterday I saw Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix - it was ok. I haven't read a single Harry Potter-books so I guess I've missed out on some of the story.
Wedding update: NONE!
Diva-like friend U is getting hitched on September 1st. She has ordered custom made M&Ms from the US with hers and future husbands Ls initials on them. I didn't even know you could do that... Don't get me wrong: I think it's pretty fierce but itsn't it a bit over the top?!?!
But what the hell if you have the money to send why not spend it.
Says I who paid 90 euros for a clutch bag...
Now, food and shower :)
Take care

Greece
Am right now at an internet cafe in Methoni in Peleponess in Greece.
We have had a few really nice days so far. It's not as hot as I thought but it is hot...
I have seen ancient Olympia, Delphi (no oracle...) Parga - small town on the western coast and the island of Lefkada. The coolest thing was the Aceron river and the Fountain of Youth. The water was about +3 and the current was really really strong. We walked up stream for about 1 hour. The amazing thing was that after a while I really couldn't feel my feet due to the cold water. But I got to swim in the Fountain of Youth so now I'll be 27 forever ;)
At the moment I can't wait to get to Athens for some serious shopping and big city-stress :)
Greece is not lika I thought it would be. Most people are very kind and interested in asking questions. Obviously they stare, so far I've seen two other black persons - both tourists. Here in Methoni there are hardly any tourists so we could very easily find a place to stay. It's not a 3 star place but it seems nice.
The car is ok. I actually got to drive for a while even if it is totally illegal. Don't know what would happen if I got pulled over by the police...
I'm working on my 2 of 3 (fierce skin and loosing weight). Trying to get shiny hair is really no point at the moment...High humidity = frizzy hair....
Am going to finish my beer now. Possibly not the best hing since I'm trying to loose weight but what the hell...
Take care

On the road
Tomorrow we're off to Greece!
The roadtrip has already gotten a shaky start. Got a call today from the rent-a-car-place telling asking if we could reconsider the 9 seater and take two small cars instead. Oh well, according to Mr S that i very much like Greece.
I'll try to update a few times during the trip as I take internet for granted :)
For those of you who understands Swedish we have our on line journal at:
www.resedagboken.com and look for traveller HelenaP
