Love rules

So finally they are getting engaged Crown Princess and her man.
They look fierce together and so so in love. I'm glad for them.

I, on the other hand, am working my ass off and looking forward to the return of the light and the sun. Still haven't had a chance to wear my new shoes since the ground is still covered in snow. God, I really hate snow unless I am skiing on it and that I haven't done in ages.

At the moment I am terribly anooyed by Linda Skugge and the likes of her. I read some of her columns in CHIC magazine. SHe writes about how women who have kids are so much better, sexier, smarter than those who don't. And living in the suburbs is so right and everything else is not real and people (women) who don't have kids have no connection to reality and cannot be stressed out since they don't know what stress is.
I should not let insecure women like her get to me but seriously...
Isn't it hard enought to be a woman these days without having to turn on eachother? Instead, can't we just respect eachothers choices and be happy for eachother? I admit: screaming kids on a plane or in a restaurant annoys the hell out of me and I do believe that some places just are not the right place to bring your children but that does not mean I cannot be happy for a woman who wants kids and gets pregnant.
I have chosen not to have any children - that is my choice and I am content. So many times have I heard "oh you change your mind" -Hello, I'm 35 almost 36 I don't htink so or "you'll regret it eventually" - Well then I'll get a dog and a young lover to keep me occupied

What if I would go up to a pregnant woman and say "Oh you'll change your mind" or "what if you'll regret it". They'd probably slap me.

Would it be more fun if we instead embraced our differences? If we were all the same - imagine what the world would be like?!?!

Now - back to work

Take care

And then the snow came

again....
It is seriously white outside.
I bought new shoes in Copenhagen that I am dying to use but I can't while it's snow up to my knees outside.
Copenhagen was very nice. We stayed at a good hotel, The Phoenix and had our Valentines day dinner att a very good restaurant Ego - really really nice food and atmosphere.

Saturday we spen mostly checking out the shops: Illum, Birger Christensen, Magasin du Nord. Sunday we met up with Mr S' son and his very pregnant girlfriend. She is.. nice nothing more nothing elss just nice. Not very funny and not vey interesting just nice. I always thought he would go for someone a bit more... of everything. She has a very annoying habit of talking about him when he is sitting just next to her "A thinks this" and "A likes that"- hello, he is 27 years old and can answer a question by him self.

This week I have been very cultural: Tuesday I went to the opera and saw Swan Lake and yesterday I saw Cabaret. Swan Lake was wonderful but Cabaret was quite disappointing.

Now I have to do my nails...

Take care

Rock around the Clock

Yesterday Mr S and me went to see "Buddy Holly - the musical". We got free tickets from work - one of the upsides to my job. It was really good, I was plesantly surprised. Buddy Holly made some seriously cool music that still works today.

Friday I had champagne, I would say I had a huge amount of champagne, with sis, Mr S and girlfriend T. Simply because we are worth it :) We had dinner at a newly opened, or reopened, italian restaurant "Per Lei", really great. If you are in the neighboorhood it is well worth a visit, Birger Jarlsgatan 24.
Saturday I watched Top Model - Canada almost all day and that was about it. Oh, I ordered pizza online as well. Good thing these online stuff, I only had to leave the couch to answer the door :)
And of course the Swedish Eurovision Song Contest has started. It is amazing how an entire nation just stops and spends an evening in front of the tv watching it. As do I...
Sunday we went to visit the Nordic Light Furniture fair - very artsy. It's amazing how some people suffer from a "I am desinger therefore I am dressed in balck and acting difficult"-complex. Lighten up - everything is more fun then.

Met up with gay-boyfriend J, he still looks amazing: like a dark haired Ken doll. We had a few laughs while watching and commenting on fashion statements of people passing by.

Now I am going home. Mr S is out of town so tonight I'll watch "Wall-E" and eat pop corn

Take care

Spanked

Looks like the Swedish hockey team is about to smack up the Russians. This I like. At the moment Sweden - Russia 3-1

Mr S is half asleep next to me on the couch. Yesterday his best friends N was here and they spent most of the evening and night doing "boy-stuff"while I was doing girl-stuff in the bathroom.

Work is busy, haven't been home before 7 at all this week but tomorrow it's Friday and I'm meeting sis and my posse for some champagne - simply because we are worth it :)

Now: time to download some more music

Takce care
