Back to earth

Have been oh so busy with oh so boring things lately. Not even worth mentioning - only work.
But Saturday sis, Mr S, Henri and me joined the frenzy of the Stockholm nightlife at it's best and went to berns to see and hear Omar. It's been a long time. last time I saw him was in Paris and he was really down and out back then. Too much of everything. But Saturday he looked great and sounden great. I managed to get his autograph before the show and thank him for a great show afterwards.
Berns was crazy: too young, too much booze and to my surprise (I know, I am getting old) women/girl wearing way to little. When I was younger I would go for either cleavage or legs - not both. At a very young age I learnt that cover it up is sexier. These girly women were wearing next to nothing: short skirts, short tops or hot pants...
I suppose I'm getting old but I would never be caught wearing what they were wearing.

The show was really good and sis got really drunk. I suppose it's partly my fault since I bought her a very strong P2 (vanilla vodka, apple sour and sprite). I had one as well but having worked for a year in the restaurant business my tolerance level for alcohol is high, probably too high to be considered healthy...
Anyway, Mr S had the car so we shoved her in the back seat and went home by 2 in the morning.

This week end my aunt is turning 70 and I'm called to "family duty" to appear at a surpsie party for her on Saturday. I suppose all my boring cousins will be there with their obnoxious kids. Wonder what I shall wear...

Well I'm still at work. One might wonder why, at least I do so now I'm off :)

Take care

Yes, we can!

Today is "Yes, we can"-day when Mr Obama will officially be announced the Prsiden of the United States.
I watched his speech on tv, there were some thing I really liked, some I liked and some I didn't like. One thing he said that I reacted to was: We will not change our lifestyle" I really think we all, every signle one of us has o change our lifestyle. If we want this world to go on. The situation we are in today, both the shifts in climate and the financial crisis, depends on something and I do believe it is our lifestyle that has got us all into this situation. 

Now, on a more positive note: I really believe that Mr Obama can and will make a difference. It will be hard and hard descicions must be made but I think if anyone can do it he can.

Personally I have booked a Valentine's Day trip for my man and myself to Copenhagen. I believe in creating things to look forward to. Espescially now during this dark and rainy period.

Now I'm off

A good question

Have you stopped living even though you are not dead?

Something to think about....



I do lead a charmed life. Am surfing the web with a glass of Taittinger and watching my husband making me dinner :)
A very good start of the week end.

Take care

MSC Fanatsia Dec 20 - 28 2008





13 hours of fun

Have had a few lazy days with only some shopping, hanging out with friends and Mr S, eating good food and drinking good wine.
Picked up a pair of pants from HOPE and a shirt from The Shirt Factory so now I am ready for whatever challenges might come my way.
In my horoscope for 2009 it says that thingw won't calm down until October but I will come into some money and home, frineds and family will be important to me this year. I was hoping for something like: You will become financially independent and move to a caslte in Italy where you will spend your days watching the wines grow"

Yesterday I met up with girlfriend T for lunch at Sturehof. We left some 13 hours later after both lunch and dinner, several glasses of wine and champagne. Felt like a good way to end the holidays and to start my detox period. As of now I will limit my intake of red meat, alcohol, salt and sugar. I will go to the gym 2/week and do about 15 mins of pilates at home per day.
Hello Beach 2009 and size 8! Good bye Big Booty and size 10.

Now I will work on uploading some pics from the cruise.

Take care

Happy New Year

Had a lovely New Years Eve with friends.
Arranged, with very short notice, a really good dinner. Everyone brought 40 euros worth of food so we had oysters, coquilles St Jaques, duck breast, salmon rolls and a lot more. Wine, beer, champagne and booze. I went very easy on the drinking - only half a bottle of chapagne and some dessert wine. The last ones left at 5 in the morning.

The first day of 2009 I spent cleaning the apartment, drove a car back to friends, dropped of M at the station and made chicken burgers and finally watched "Day after tomorrow".
I am trying very hard to not think about work - I don't have to be there until next Wednesday but work still is in the back of my mind all the time. Maybe I should try some yoga to relax me...

Tomorrow I am going to try to upload some photos from the cruise. I have some really great ones from Egypt and the pyramids.

Take care
