Am very happy today:
I went looking for cars with Mr S today. Actually drove two cars one Peugeot 307 and one Alfa Romeo. I prefered the French and Mr S the Italian... negociations continue. I realized that I really like cars :) In the Alfa I did 130 on the highway, was so nice! That car is made for speeding in - loves it :)
He did say that he would buy the French if/when I pass my drivers license... I do however think having a learner's permit is good enough!
Once I have a drivers licence I have to drive alone and that really freaks me out.
Then we stopped by IKEA and a few other places looking for kitchens. We are having our bahroom and kitchen renovated in January. I don't know where I am supposed to live during this time but the co-op are providing "possibility to shower" i. e. a shack in the yard. Hm, can't really see myself shower in a shack in the backyard but there is a first time for everything. Or not...
Afterwards we went to the movies and saw The Bourne Ultimatum (3/5). Mr S loved it, I wasn't very impressed actually.
Yesterday we had brunch with friends Gonza, T and sis. They are really lovely, had such a nice time. Afterwards we went on to fix Mr S' clothes for the wedding, it's finally done! I was really stressed out about that but as always Mr S manages to fix things in the end. Now it's about 3 weeks to go.
Am looking into the possibility of going with Mr S to Lisbon after the wedding. He is going to work in Lisbon for abut 10 days and I might be tagging along for a few days. I can't decide if it's a good idea or not. He'll be working and entertaining clients and I'll be on my own most of the time anyway: going to museums and shopping. Lisbon was really nice as far as I remember but being there all alone... I don't know.
Found one of my favourite tunes on Itunes. So that one will be the song of today
Take care

Fall is...
a good time for a fresh start, I think. But also a good time to remember and recollect.
9/11 came and went. Here in Sweden most people remember the murder of Ms Anna Lindh but obviosly also the Twin Towers in NYC.
I think most people remember what they did and where they were when these two events occured.
When the Twin Towers were attacked I was working and listening to the radio. At first I thought it was some lunatic who had flew a small plane, somethink Cessna-like, but the I realised the it was a passenger plane and it was some sort of an attack.
On 9/11 this year they aired a documentary about the families and how they coped with the money they got from the 9/11-fund. It's amazing what money can make people do...
When Ms Lindh was murdered I lived in Nykoping and followed the news all that night. First thing I did when I got up the next morning was turning on the TV and they reported her death. She and her husband lived in Nykoping - her husband was the mayor.
This fall will be a huge new start for myself as I'm starting a new life as married. Wedding are fun, great parties and a lot of love in the air. Marriage is fun too, maybe not party all the time but once you remeber to keep the love in the air it's all good!
Found a pair of shoes for the party and they are fierce! Black and shiny and just enough bling to make me happy :)
Now I'm all set: got the shoes and the dress to go with it, the bag to clutch and the perfect match in Mr S :)
Take care

Going downhill?!?!
Poor poor Britney! Her performance at the MTV Awards wasn't her best ever. She looks absolutely miserable. Stiff, no energy and just sexyness - just nothing.
I wonder what went wrong there? Maybe a case of too much too soon...
Me, on the other hand, is quite please with my situation. I left my sales job. Sales just isn't my thing. I found myself looking around at the others thinking "How could anyone in their right mind enjoy this?!?!"
That job was like a Hermes-scarf fierce in every way but not my style.
Now I', playing housewife. I'm not very succesfull but it's quite nice. I thought I could lie on my couch and do my nails and eat candy all day. According to Mr S I'm supposed to clean the house and have dinner ready for him when he gets home...
In his dreams, I want to shop at Prada and drink champagne :)
Take care

The pole is my friend!
I've been poledancing!
Oh yes, indeed I have.
It started Thursday when O called Mr S and asked if we wanted to have brunch with him and H Saturday. I thought it would be nice so we decided to meet up at Clarion hotel.
Late Friday night, after we chased wedding clothes for Mr S, we tried to get a table for the brunch but it turns out that they don't serve brunch on Saturdays.
O then suggested Mosebacke instead.
Got up quite early on Saturday since we neede to find some fabric to make a vest for Mr S. I had an idea that it would be cool if his vest matched my dress. This won't happen since I have apparently picked a dress in an unusual colour (sort of pink+red+purple...).
Anyway we got to Mosebacke and H showed up. Apparently O had an emergency call from work and would be arriving later.
After about 1,5 hrs suddenly sis walks in looking very guilty. I of course immediately thought she was on a date but no. Next person to show up is my girl Gonza and then M. Merveilleux and Ylva with a videocamera in her hand shows up.
Then I begin to understand what is going on...
We walk for a while in the rain and end up at a quite freaky looking gym. Pictures of men kicking eachother in the head are on display.
It turns out that I am going to learn sme serious poledancing. I had a great time but it was really hard. I now have a newfound and deep respect for strippers.
At the gym some more of my friends turn up even G&V who came in from Brussels.
After 1,5 hrs of sweaty poledancing sis, G, D and myself (shout out to G and D: very few men would put on a skimpy little dress and work a pole like they did!!) show our stuff. There where a lot of pictures taken of this event to Mr S's joy since he wasn't there.
After the pole we went back to H's place for shower and champagne. Now it was just the girls. Mr S picked up sis and drove home to get some clothes for me. After a while I was blindfolded and taken to a car driven by my dad. I wasn't supposed to know but I heard him cough :)
We arrived in the Old Town where D met up with me and took me down a few stairs into a room where all of my fab friends where waiting. Actually almost everyone who are coming to the wedding was there. A few months back I told sis I didn't want a girly bacheloretteparty rather a night out with friends and that was what I got. We had a great time: good food, great champagne and of course a lot of cosmopolitans :)
At around 11 pm Mr S arrived and we stayed until 3 in the morning. After a quick stop at Max for some food - home and off to bed.
Sunday I dragged mysef out of bed at around 1 o'clock and spent the entire day watching dvd's on the couch :)
I had a great time and I truly have some amazing friends!
Take care
