E on a plane

Saw "Snakes on a plane" the night before we went to Brussels. It probably wasn't that smart not only was the movie a huge waste of time but I also spent the whole flight thinking about what I would have done if the plane suddenly filled with snakes. I'd probably start crying...

Brussels was nice. Met with friends K&J and their baby Sabina. She was sweet but too noisy for me. K&J tried to have a baby for about five years before little Sabina came. They live in a very nice apartment in the northern part of Brussels.
We, on the other hand, stayed at the Holiday Inn at the airport. It was ok, wall to wall carpets everywhere in a sort of "back to the 70ies" style. The staff had probably the ugliest clothes I've ever seen. Dark blue pants, white shirt and a dark blue sweater.

Bought a few boxes of the famous Belgian chocolate from Wittamer, Godiva and Pierre Marcolini.
Also bought a pair of pants from a Belgian designer Nicolas Woit. He makes absolutely fierce clothes and some of the greatest dresses I've ever seen.
I'm going to wear the pants when I go to Oslo next week and meet Hannah. I've heard that Oslo is quite a posh town and meeting with Hannah freaks me out. I don't know why she stresses me out so much since we have known eachother for ages. It's just that meeting with her drains me of energy.
It's like some people I know, like girlfriend T and Gonzalita give me nothing but positive vibes, energies and love while others, like Hannah and friend M, give nothing back.

The last couple of days have been all about work and very little play. But next week we are going to Oslo (Mr S to work and I will shop and visit friends) and on Saturday we will fly to Skane for a birthday party. Hopefully we will be able to get a few hours in Copenhagen for some christmas shopping.

Mr S' son wants to spend the holidays with us. I think that is so sweet. For once I'm actually looking forward to the holiday season, not very much but a little :) For once...

Take care
Love/E

From Ms to Mrs pt II

The photos from our photographer Roberto has arrived. And they are really great! Now we need to decide which one goes into the paper: Mr S wants to publish a photo.

Second recap of wedding:
Woke up, had brunch with Mr S, the kids and N, did my hair, facial, off to make up, make up done, picked up flowers (in the last minute I added a blue ribbon - something blue...), went to the hotel, changed clothes, cab to the museum, photo session, wedding ceremony, more photos, food, speeches, toasts, more food, dessert, drinks, dancing, presents, cab back to hotel, champagne, sleep.

My dad is turning 65 this week. Sis and me are taking him to dinner and an exhibition. First we wanted to buy him a flat screen TV but if we ordered it now it would arrive on time for his birthday.

Had a very nice weekend. Friday we watched first Zodiac 3,5/5, it was really good and then the Swedish movie Beck - I Guds namn 3/5.
Saturday we went to dad's birthday reception and then off to girlfriend Sus' 40th birthday party. We all chipped in for a really cool gift: a toy box for big girls. One thing we got her is The Cone. I don't really know how it works but she promised to give us a report once she has used it.
The party ended sadly though. She got a call saying that her grandfather had died so we all left at around 1.
I remeber when my grandfather died. Even if he was old and quite ill you're always unprepared for when it happens.

Sunday we met up with sis and M&J for a movie 1408 which was a huge waste of 2 hours of my life. I admit it was a bit scary but I really don't agree with the label: scary movie. It's more of a psychlogical thrill.

Tomorrow I'm off to Brussels to met some friends. Mr S will be working and I'm going shopping. This time I'm better prepared than I was in Lisbon. I have printed out a lot of shopping and dinner tips from the internet and asked around where to go and what to do.
I've only been to brussels once before and that was quite a while ago. But I remeber that the food was great.

Now I'm off to lunch with Mr S :)

Take care
