I will love you forever

Was allegedly the last words of Patrick Swayze before he died.
So sad, another childhood idol gone too soon.

Me, I'm not gone yet even if it might seem like it. Mr S seriously suggested that we'd sell everything and go backpacking around the world. Apparently he does not know me at all: I don't back pack. End of story.
I would however consider moving abroad, renting a house somewhere not too warm and not too cold and stay there for a while.
His suggestions:
The Caribean (too hot)
Thailand (maybe)

My suggestions:
Italy (good food and I do speak some italian)
France (he didn't answer so I suppose that is a no)
Scotland (I want to learn archery and run on the moors - Mr S said no)

Well, no matter where we'll end up I will love him forever

Take care
Love/E

Working day and night

I have been too busy with work to have time to live lately.
Feels like all I have done is going to work, coming home from work and sleeping.
I don't even want to think about how many hours the average Joe spends working in one life time comapred to many hours are spent on doing important things such as living, eating good food and buying shoes.

Today I am so tired... but I have myself to blame. Yesterday I was invited to a "Winemaker's Dinner" at an Italian restaurant - 4 course meal and 4 different wines plus champagne. God, I love champagne. If there was a fire at my place what would I save: my champagne bottles or my shoes (Mr S in an adult, perfectly capable of saving himself) it's a toss up...
My all time favourite is Billecart-Salmon cuvée Elisabeth Salmon rose - if you haven't tried it do so. It's expensive but money very well spent.

Met sis' new boyfriend - there is a story I will tell sometime very soon. He seems like a nice enough guy. And they seem very serious, are going to check out an apartment this week end and all. I hope se won't become one of those I hate with a life style - styled home and shiny hair.
Ah yes it seems like I will be going to London in december - yyeehyyyaaa!

Now I must get back to work

Take care

Getting the shot

It seems like the new flu "Swine flu" or H1N1 will be huge, and not huge in a good way like the latest Gucci bag. The Swedish goverment are planning to offer everyone a flu shot. last year I had a flu shot, for another flu, and once I had the shot I got sick. Of course there is no telling if I had become sick anyway but getting the shot with the intention of staying wee and then getting sick is kind of not cool.
So far only one peron has died in Sweden, a man in his 30-ies, out of the about 400 who are infected - that are known.
A friend of mine had it. She came back from London feeling quite poorly and she went to the doctor and was diagnosed. For her it was like any other flu and after a week or so she was fine.

I can't deide if I am going to get the shot or not. The main issue I believe is that so many people will be sick at the same time. Some say that it will affect the economy (sick people don't shop...).

It will be interesting to follow the development. A my work I don't kow anyone who has it yet but some people are bound to get sick since we are 250 people working here.
At Mr S's job 7 are down with the flu already and they are asked not to com into the office unless they have to.

I wish I didn't have to come into the office unless I wanted to...

Take care
