Has been a few busy weeks for me, working up to 14 hrs a day. Not good, but I have decided to quit the restaurant business all together. It just isn't worth it: long hours and bad pay. I can do some winetastings of my own while running my own company.
So these days are all about finding a new job. I am lucky enough to have a man who makes huge amount of money so I won't be in the sh*t if I don't find a job immediately.
Yesterday as I was filling out a job application for "The Big MakeUp Company" one thing I had to do was describe myself in five words.
My fist idea was was: "Great sense of fashion" my second was "a fierce and fab personality" not good enough for a job application as true as it might be :)
Eventually Mr S made up a few nice words that'll hopefully get me the job.
I thank who ever invented on line shopping and AMEX gold cards. Have done most of my christmas shopping on line this year. It's great - a few clicks and gifts are delivered. Mr S' son M is spending the holidays with us so need to get him a gift to. What should I buy for a 23 year old guy who likes fashion, women and parties?? Any ideas?
My first plan was to get a book about fashion but he doesn't really read so now I'm desperate for ideas!
Take care
Love/E

Urban Cowgirl
Am trying out a new style: Urban Cowgirl and it's really working. Today I wore a grey knitted dress, jacket from POUR and cowboy (girl) boots from Bianco when Mr S and me went shopping today.
Christmas is closing in on me. I'm not a very Christmas-friendly person: it seems to be mostly about buying gifts for people - I want to buy gifts for myself, eating huge amounts of food - suddenly my jeans size is 32/34 instead of 30/34 as it used to be so I don't really need anymore food and a lot of stress.
And I don't know what to get for my family for christmas...
I went to Oslo with Mr S on his business trip a few weeks ago where I had the chance to met up with girlfriend H who now lives there. She seemed very lonely and in a way more human. She actually showed a little weakness. I think it's good for her to live there on her own for a while. Might give her a new perspective on her life and what is important.
Oslo was quite boring actually. The shopping is about the same as Stockholm. I did, however have the best sushi I ever had at Alex Sushi. It has been voted the best sushi restaurant outside of Japan. It was fierce!
I saw the famous painting "Skriet" at the National Gallery, probably the best thing in Oslo.
At the hotel we got room no 1408 which was weird after having seen the movie 1408.
Nothing happened though :)
Last weekend we went to Malmo for Dick's 40th birthday party. We had time for a quick stop in Copenhagen and some shopping at Illum. I like Copenhagen. Mr S was offered a job there but I don't think he will accept it.
Kitchen update: We well I have decided which one I want. If I get my way we will buy a kitchen from UNOForm. I really like their design and quality. It will be expensive but well worth the money.
Other than that these last few weeks have been mostly about work. Until christmas I'll be working non stop and I'm not really looking forward to it. I am looking forward to retiring. I have only worked since I was 24 but it feels like a lifetime already and to thing I propably have 30 years to go it overwhelming.
Hopefully I will land a really well paid job so I can retire early and just relax (or win the lottery ;))
Now I must eat!
Take care
