Things that make syou go hmmm...

I am tired! And I only have myself to blame.

Last week end we were out partying... again. This week end we were out partying... again.
I have been out every week end for the last month. I am too old for this so next week end I am going to rest, no alcohol, no parties. Just sleep and healthy food, or at least that is the plan: a week end of detoxing.

Mr S had a friend from Egypt here last week. He came with us for drinks on Friday. And he sure can drink. In spite of being a muslim he knocks back shots with the best of them.
Seems strange to me to actually claim to be religious and still do the things your religion is against.
But he is a nice guy and I think he will enjoy living in Sweden.

Our plans to move haven't really developped in any direction. Mr S is still casting his vote on Koh Samui while I am still in favour of either Italy or the Caribeans.
What I really would like to do is go work for an organisation like the MSF to be able to do something really good.
I am going to look into that.

Now I need some more tea. i have already started my detox by drinking detox tea and lemon water.

Take care

Sunday Night sessions

It's been a very calm and quiet week end.

Friday me and the Ladies had dinner at Cloud Nine. It was as always nice to see them again. Feels like we haven't seen each other in ages but I suppose sometimes life gets in the way of living...

The food was ok, I'd give it 3/5. I had halibut that wa perfectly cooked but it lacked a bit of spicyness.

For dessert we moved into their "Dessert room". It was actually quite disappointing. They offered 2 3-dessert menus for 300 sek (about 30 euros each) As much as I love sweets I won't spend 300 on it.

True to form we stayed until they closed.

Saturday I got up and had some errands to run. Once back home I logged onto hm.com an d quickly bought a Jimmy Choo for H&M bag. I don't really need it (nor should I buy anything at the moment) but I liked so what the h*ll...

I ahve put myself on a shopping "diet" until I go to London. No spontaneous shopping for things I don't need. All I bought this last couple of days is a varm sweater since my office is so cold.

Today I did my laundry and that is about it. I have been reading my self help book also. I chose "Who will cry when you die" by Robin Sharma.

He became famous as The monk who sold his Ferrari (why?!?!). The book is good, some thing he says are totally obvious and some are just nice.

Now I have to do my nails and start preparing mentally for driving to Arlanda and pick up Mr S. He has been in Scotland playing golf at St Andrews.

Take care

Joie de Vivre

These last couple of days I felt my spirit weaken and darkness started to surround me. But today I feel my joie de vivre return.
Work is busy - sometimes it feels like it's too busy - and I have to skip out on doing a lot of things during the week days.
Last week I took a well deserved Friday off. Mr S and me went into town and checked out some stores, if you are in town Norrgavel is well worth a visit. Expensive but I think the quality is worth the money spent.

In my book club we are going to read a self help book. At first I thought I would read a book that would help me be more in the moment and not space out like I usually do. But then I think that I like spaing out and thinking about rather what I am going to do than what I am actually doing. So I am going to choose a book about effiency and how to get things done. I am going to become a "doer" - not really my style. I believe in paying people to get things done.

At the moment I look forward to a week end in London and then we are off to Spain for Christmas, will be back in time for New Year.

Having moments to look forward to is important and also creating those moments worth looking back upon.

Take care

And suddenly

it's November and the snow is falling.

It was vacation then back to work and then.... black hole. I have done a lot: worked (too much), partied with Mr S and friends and so on and so forth.

I am a member of a private cocktail club these days. It's a very old school, feels a bit like the old prohibition days and I love it. Each member is allowed to bring one guest so I tried to bring sis last week end but she had other plans.

Sis has bought an apartment with her new man and they are moving in together in the beginning fo next year. I am totally against it since he is still married to his wife but he claims that he is leaving the wife soon. Action speaks louder than words is all I am saying.

Since they also have a son the actual divorce will take at least one year to become final.

Well, I gave her a piece of my mind and made her cry so now I will keep my mouth shut.

I have her best interest at heart but at a very young age I learnt to know when to shut up.

Like now...

Take care

Love/E
