A really nice week end

Had the greatest weekend!
Friday I was at Marden with some of the girls. Ran into a ex co-worker from my days at Siemens. He works in Copenhagen now and really seems to enjoy it. His girlfriend (who did give me the evil eye) lives in Stockholm. That must be hard to keep up a long distance relationship like they do...
Got home just in time to watch a live concert with U2 on TV. Was really really cool.

Saturday was laundry day...again and then off to have coffee with Nicky and he told me all the latest gossip.. He has a new boyfriend who seems like a really nice guy. Am happy for him :)
Told him about Platinum man and his advice was to move on. I've told him how I feel but apparently he can't handle it as he called again on Saturday. I didn't answer as I really don't know what to say to him...
Dr Carter-guy called and asked me out on Saturday night. I had plans with Anna T's birthday party so he came along. We had a great time and he seemed to enjoy meeting some of my "nutty" friends :)
We went back to my place and had a huge brunch on Sunday.

Sunday I went to the movies and saw "The living castle". It's a Japanese film, made by the same guy who made Spirited away. It was ok, quite a fascinating story. Then some of us went for coffee. The discussion of our summer holidays came up. Jonas can't seem to take responsibility for him messing up last summer. He keeps blaming the rest of us for "stressing him". If he has a problem with making decisions.. well that is too bad but deal with it. People make decisions every day...

So, today I'm having my hair done. Will be nice once it's done...
Met a guy at the party Saturday and he wants me to host a champagnetasting for his company :) Great! I just don't know how much I should charge him. Am meeting with Peder tomorrow so I'll ask him for advice.
Better get back to my hair now
Take care

Up and down

On the upside: I may have a new job :)
I did my internship at Huvudsta Gard last spring and now I may have a job there as waitress/sommelier/conference hostess. I really enjoyed it so it'll be fun.
Also picked up new hair for my weaves and got a hold of Roseline so I'm having my hair done on Monday. Maybe I'll have her come over to my place so I can work a bit while she is braiding me.

Tonight I'm going to a Fado-concert with sis, Henrik and Mi. We went to this amazing concert in Lisbon this summer. It won't be the same but Fado is really cool.

On the downside: Told Platinum man that I wasn't really interested in him... My exact words were: "I like you but not enough to get into a serious longdistance relationship". I think that was nice and honest. He thinks I should have told him that before we met...but how would I know that... Oh well, too bad because he is a nice guy but you can't please them all.
Oh by the way his name is Erik Rolf so that explain the name confusions...

The other guy I met - Dr Carter look alike - was very nice. Might be seeing him again actually :) And there was an immediate click ;) not that we made out or anything but we are both definitely interested.

Oouups just remembered that I have absolutely no idea where my Fado-ticket is.... Must find it!!!
Yesterday I went into town to have lunch with a friend. Afterwards I walked back throught town and suddenly I fond myself shopping at H&M...how did that happen?!?! But I do need some new clothes to wear when I look for work...Oh right I have a job...I'm a shopoholic in denial :)

Well better start looking for that ticket now...
And remember any 10000 mile journey begin with a new pair of shoes ;)

I don't like Mondays

and I'm bored...
Therefore I agreed to date a guy who looks exactly like Dr Carter (Noah Wylie) in ER...
He was nice.. we went for coffee and strolled through some furniture stores. He has just moved back to Stockholm from the US and needs a whole new setup of furniture. It was fun. But I don't think I'll see him again. The other guy who I had scheduled a lunch with on Wednesday is...hm (I am judgmental!) not hot. I don't want to go! I wonder if I can cancel...

Today I was supposed to finally pick up my bike, my dad left it a the repairplace this morning, but did he bring the key...oh no! So I have to pick up the bike tomorrow when I am swamped with stuff to do.
Have to call Rosalie to get my hair done tomorrow so I'll look fab for the next party I'm going to on the 19th.

The creepy-stalker guy had apparently sent some textmessages again. He only has my jobcellphone. I thought he had given up but no... Kattis at my ex-job sent me an email with all my messages - that was sweet of her. I think I'll just ignore him again like I did before.

Platimnum-doc sent a message today. He said he was looking forward to seeing me again. I haven't answered him yet since I really don't know what to say. I don't mind seeing him, we had a nice time, but I am not interested in him in the "boyfriend-kind-of-way". It's probably for the best that I'll just be honest with him and tell him the truth. I think he is a nice guy but not "my guy". God, I hope he won't be too sad. The upside is that he lives in Malmo so I won't have to tell him to his face. Is it ok to send a textmessage?!?! Or if he calls tomorrow I'll tell him.

One thing I've been thinking about is why can't people be happy for eachother instead of putting eachother down? I've been through a lot lately and would have needed support from some people I thought could count as my friends. Maybe certain people are important at certain times in your life and then you have to let them go...
Easier said than done.

Platinum man

The date with the doctor, he is actually a neurosurgeon, was nice. We started out with dinner at East and the off to Sturehof and Berns for drinks. The food was really great and I made some nice winechoices to go with.
As we were on our way home he insisted on us spending the night together "just sleeping" ...hm yeah right...
Eventually at my place he got to sleep on the couch, it a 2-seater...Sometime during the night he came over and laid down in my bed.
He is a nice guy, well educated, intelligent, we had some really nice conversations, very generous (had his AmEx platinum card working all night ;)) but it did just not happen. There was no spark, no "click"on my part. He seemed totally interested but I'm not. Too bad but that's the way it is. But since he lives in Malmoe, I can blame it on the fact that I donät want a long distant relationship. Or I'll just tell him that he is a nice guy but not my type... maybe that is nicer as it is the truth.

Saturday we had breakfast and I wanted him to leave asap as mornings are not really my thing. He finally left and I called sis to make plans for the night and hopped into the shower.
We met up with the rest og the gang and played boule. It was really nice once we got the hang of the rules :) We will do it again some time soon I think.
Afterwards we had dinner at a really niceMalaysiann restaurant. Hannah went off to met some friends and her ex Olof. I'm not even getting into their on and off relationship....
Some left and me sis and Henrik went over toDan'ss &Stefan'ss place for some wine. We started talking about next summers holiday. It seems like we will be renting a riverboat in France :) Seems like fun.
Mi and Jonas left early. I don't really know what was Jonas' problem but something happened and they left...

Today sis is helping me with my new and improved cv. I'm finally starting my own company. I possibly have a job starting at the beginning of next year (keep your fingers crossed).
Peder has helped me a lot too. I can't believe how many nice people I know. And of course Gonzo, an incredible source of inspiration :)

So now I better get on with everything. I dropped a painting on the floor the other day so the glass broke. Today I will try to turn the broken glass into a serving tray. If I succeed it will to totally cool :) And I'm also putting up some new lights in my apartment and I also have to come up with a good name of my new company :)

Hope you had a nice weekend and take care

Datethoughts

As my blogger-buddy Mark pointed out, dinner on Friday AND museum on Saturday is a bit much with someone I have never met. I'll do my best to get out of the museum-thing...unless he is totally nice.
Yesterday I searched the internet as I have his cellphonenumber. He told me his name is Erik. When I searched for him (paranoid - I know...) I found out that the person who has his number is called Rolf...Wonder what I should do with this information?? We are after all meeting in a public place, a restaurant, and I'll leave his name and number with sis and Gonzo. As I don't yet know the restaurant I'll send the girls an sms as soon as I know where we are going.
What else can I really do?!?

Anyway, today I had lunch with sis and Henrik. We went by a really nice second handshop where I picked up a skirt, a bag and a jacket. All in all I paid 4 euros :)

Saturday night I'm gathering my gang and we are going to play boule. Will be fun. I'll also bring up the subject of renting a canal boat for our next summer holiday. I want, as always, go to France and this year I might actually get my way...I'd love to visit the northern part, like Brittany or Normandie.
Tomorrow I'm having breakfast with Peder, my mentor. He has the most amazing contacts. I wonder how he keeps them up. I am so bad at that. I guess I should start emailing some of the people I used to work with just to say 'hi'.
Peder is helping me to start up my own company. He has a project he thinks I should run and for this I must have my own so I can get paid in a legal way. Then i can call myself CEO, I suppose :)
Will be so cool. I hope I can pull it off.

Got amazing support from Gonzo, as usual. She is the best :) I have some really great people in my life actually. The others...well maybe I was naive thinking you can be friends with an ex. Maybe you can be frineds with some of your exes but not this one. Once the bad rumours start I don't want any part of it anymore. So bye-bye and have a nice life :) My life is moving on and I'm going with it, See ya!!

Take care!

New pants...

today. I know I probably shouldn't but I've been wanting them since this summer and now I had to buy them. The pants will be my "looking for a great job"-pants.
Stopped by HvM and got the face cream I'm testing and she threw in 2 magazines too. Tried to enjoy them at a coffeeshop downtown but no...what is the deal with all these screaming babies and their fathers/mothers... Is it ok to change your baby on cafe-table???
I'll enjoy them at home instead with a cup of tea and some cakes :)

Erik - the doctor - called yesterday night. A very nice surprise. I wonder what he has planned for us Friday. He won't tell me anything, I know it involves dinner, good wine and drinks so I'll dress for the occasion. Damn, what shall I wear?!?! Friday is the "big" date and on Saturday we are going to a museum. God, what if I won't like him...

Today fall came and with a vengeance... it's raining and cold and windy. So riding my bike to the gym is not really a option. I'll do some yoga at home instead.

Am meeting with Peder on Thursday and he is helping me start up my own company. So excited!! Now, I read somewhere that if you want to make money you have to look like you have lot of money... So this justifies my shopping...or maybe not?!?!
If I get this job I want I'll be doing PR and event for designers - which would be oh so cool :)

Gonzo called after reading my last entry about the rumors. She is great which is more than I can say for some. Well, I'll let it go now... Will not let any negativity drag me down now. I don't need that.

Now I'm going to make myself a cup of tea and read my fashion magazines :)
Take care

Icing on the cake

Had a great weekend. Actually it started on Thursday with a nice good bye to my co-workers, or now ex-co-workers...
Then off to Bistro Jarl to meet the girls. Most of them left at around 10 pm but Gonzo, Jess, Tove and myself strutted over to Riche for a last glass of wine. It turned out to be a few more glasses but hey... what can you do?
Left Tove in the arms of a tall and handsome man and crawled into a cab with Gonz and went home. Woke up on Friday feeling quite ok actually.
cleaned the apartment and my mum stopped by for some coffee. She stayed for about one hour and we didn't get into any fights - good sign maybe I'm growing up...
Friday night had dinner with Mi, trying to solve her bad jobsituation. I think she should leave that crap job. Had a nice dinner and a few drinks and came home at a quite decent hour.

Got up on Saturday and did my laundry. Then I met sis for coffee and picked up a nice bottle of sauvignon blanc for Ulf. Went to Ulf's house warming/birthdayparty. It was very nice. Got to catch up with some friends I haven't seen in a while. Then off to Maria's party also nice. Peder is the coolest. He and I have now made some really cool plans for a jobproject for me. It's nice to have people around who inspires me instead of bringing me down. I must learn to keep the positive ones in my life and get rid of the negative ones. Got some disturbing news about rumors that are being spread about me. I can't really be bothered with all that shit right now but I probably have to deal with it eventually. Why can't people just leave me the f*ck alone!?!? If your life sucks... well to bad but it's really not my problem and don't lay it on me.
Trust me you do not want to go there...
Guess I'm learning who my friends are.

Today I'm going to spend the day on the couch. I have some writing to do. Need to upload the notes from the latest champagne tasting and then I'm updating my cv.
Intend to rent Hitch tonight too and have a nice dinner.

Am quite excited about the date on Friday. Eric seems to have made some serious plans for the evening and it's all a secret :) Will be fun! Asked what to wear - I am a woman ;) - he said "going out clothes". But does he mean going out like classy dinner-going out, trendy barhopping or what??? Must ask him to be more specific. He is really nice and unmarried which is a big plus considering my last dates... :)
But the downside is that he lives in Malmo, like the extreme south of Sweden. He is originally from Stockholm but moved to Lund for med-school. He is considering moving back to Stockholm if the right opportunity comes along. He actually asked me if I could consider moving to Malmoe. What kind of a question is that...we haven't even met yet.
Oh well, we'll see what happens on Friday.

Oh by the way, HappyButterfly have you watched Crash yet???

Take care and thanks for the support :)

Song of the day: Should have known - Robyn

What do I know?!?!

I'm 32 and as of tomorrow unemployed! And, I'm pleased to say, not very worried about the future. Things have a tendency to work out for the best anyway :) I might end up in Paris or New York or London or just stay in Stockholm...

My best friend Mi has some serious trouble at work. She has been very badly treated by her bosses and coworkers so I think her best option is to leave her current job. I am seeing her tomorrow to try to cheer her up a bit. We are going shopping, having dinner and a movie. I'd like to see "Grimm".

Today is the slowest day ever at work. It's nice though as I have some cleaning to do. Got the nicest bottle of wine from my co-workers the other day and they seem quite sad to see me go. God, I hope I won't cry as I leave!

Yesterday I was at Berns: They presented "the 40 most important persons under 40" I see a very slim chance that I'll end up on that list - but I have 8 years to go so we'll see :)
Ran into some friends, Jess among others. Haven't seen her in a while it was nice. Am seeing some of the SC-ladies tonight for some wine and chatting. Brunchgirl is coming, 9 months pregnant. I hope it won't be all baby talk.

Got home just in time to watch the latest episode of Lost. Love that show, it so exciting!
Jocke is lending me Lord of the Rings pt III.
Actually, sometime I miss a real swordfight. Don't get me wrong, I'm not endorsing violence but it seems more fair to fight man to man instead of lauching weapons that kills millions on the other side of the planet but a simple push of a button...

Have a date next Friday with a doctor. He has apparently a whole evening planned out for us and it's all a secret. Wonder what I shall wear?!?! ;) Am probably being a total girl but I do want to look good... I think he is the type Hannah referred to when she told me to start dating nicer men.

Anyway, time for one last coffee and the guys have bought some cake too :)

Take care

Internet-support

from my blogger-buddies makes me happy :)

D is so in the doghouse. He had the nerve to email me today and offer a massage... Damn!
Oh well, he is not my problem but I got some seriously great ideas last night that I actually might practice ;)

Went training today, it was quite fun but I am so tired that I couldn't really focus.
At work today I briefed the girl from Gothenburg who is taking over after me. She is quite odd but very funny. Not the person I would choose to hang out with.

Have a date with a guy who seems very nice, in the good guy sort of way. Maybe Hannah is right I need to stop losing at "bad guys" and go for the good ones instead.

Read Mark's blog about achievements and what you'll bring into a relationship. I think you bring yourself with all your good sides and the bad sides.
It's like Carrie in Sex and the City said: "When you find someone who loves the you you love. That's just fabulous"
So that's what I'm looking for :)
And of course THE passion that'll sweep me off my feet. I want to find the man that makes me want to stop looking for others...

Date with the married man pt II

Found out that D is married. Met a friend of a friend of his and he told me that he is married and has a 1 year old son... Well, what can you say?!?! I'm glad I at least didn't sleep with him. And I do feel sorry for his wife but maybe she knows.... I don't know and I don't care.
He sent me a mail today to apologize and ask for a second date. I haven't answer him yet, don't really know what to say or if I should confront him or just leave it alone.

At work today I got the nicest good bye-gift: a really nice bottle of wine and some chocolate. I'm making a cool pannacotta for Thursday as it is my last day there. Don't know when I'll find the time though but I'll get it done :) I like them a lot and I want to give them something.

Tonight I'm thinking about calling JE to check on how he is doing. He sent me a message today asking if I wanted to meet him after work today. I answered that we should talk later and that I would call him. So I suppose I should call...
Am not really in the mood but I'll see what I'll do later.

I'm just watching the funniest episode of Friends: Chandler is handcuffed to a chair in some womans office :)

Ok, got to eat now and listen to Bodies without Organs

Date with the married man

Friday was the Blind Date-day. Was totally stressed out at work... again or maybe I should say as usual. Stress and having way too much to do is becoming my reality. Never knew work could be like this...
Anyway, Friday after work ran home to pick up contacts I ordered on the internet then back into town to meet Blind date-man.
We met for drinks at Nordic Sea hotel. I was late, of course as I just missed the subway back to town. He was sitting at a table drinking bear. As he got up to greet me the first thing I see is...the wedding ring. What is it about these men. Can't they just pick up some flowers and go home with their wives?!?! He told me he was happily married but wanted to meet someone when he was I Stockholm. Damn, what an a*hole!
Made up an excuse to leave early, the dinner - excuse. Went back home to listen to some cd's I got: Robyn, Lenny Kravitz and Bodies without Organs :) Great music!

D called later and we had a long talk about everything: life, love, work, friends... He is really nice.

Saturday I got up very late and went over to co-worker M's apartment to pick up the last of his stuff. Why do I promise people to do these kinds of things?!?! Called once I got there and he was very happy and grateful.
Went back home and rounded up some friends for a movie/dinner/drink-evening.

Watched the French movie "Cache" - 3,5/5 the ending was very strange and I can't really decide
if I like it or not... But do watch it and give me your opinion :)

Then off to pizzas for dinner at Primo Ciao Ciao and drinks at Storstad. Took a cab home and fell asleep.

Sunday morning D called at a horrible hour! We decide to meet for coffee but he had to change our plans in the last minute... God, I hate that so now he is in the doghouse! Will call him on Tuesday when he has suffered a bit for his poor timemanagement....

Went over to Tanja for her birthday celebration: some lovely cakes, coffee and portwine. Very adult kind of celebration. At least in the beginning and then she broke out some winebottles. Wine at 6 o'clock is a lovely idea :)

Well, better get back to watching Bridget Jones' diary on TV

Have a great evening
Take care

Fell on my nose

yesterday. In a very un-graceful way as I was running to catch the bus.
The bus obviously stopped and every one stared at me. A nice girl came over to help me get back on my feet. Staggered and limped on to the bus, feeling like a total idiot...
Was stressing to get to the champagnetasting on time.
Then of course, the phone rings and a customer VIP is waiting outside our office to pick up some stuff and who has to go back?!?! Me. He was supposed to come at 1 o'clock but no... he strolls in a 5.15 pm.
Limped of the bus, got on to another and met up with the guy. He was, however, nice enough to give me a ride back downtown.

Got to the tasting 20 mins before it started and AT was quite irritated. The actual tasting went very well.
We tried: Henriot, De Venoge, Launois and Leclerc-Briant

Afterwards some of us went for dinner. Due to VIP-visit I had no time to eat before the tasting so I got quite hungry. Had another glass of wine, some food and went home.

Today it's cold and I'm tired. Am actually quite looking forward to leaving my job. I finally get to sleep in the mornings... but I guess after one week of sleeping in, I'll be climbing the walls again.
Got my self together and email the English application with my translated cv. I have quite high hopes for that job because I think I would enjoy it.

I have another date tonight :) Might be nice... we'll see. We are meeting at Nordic Sea hotel for drinks. I have told him that I have dinner plans later - good thing to have a back up plan if he turns out to be an idiot. If he's nice, I'll tell him my dinner plans changed ;) What a bitch but everyone does it! If I'd go out on a weekday I can always blame work but Fridays is a bit harder.

Am also trying to write a "Thank-you and Goodbye"-mail to my coworkers. It's hard I wish I could just leave and kind of vanish without a trace.

I think I'm going to make them a Pannacotta on Thursday before I leave :) Maybe I'll make the one I had for a dinner party: Muscovadosugar and Gran Marnier... Should be a hit :)

Well, better get back to work now

Take care/E

Running like a fried rat...

is a direct translation of a Swedish expression for when you are totally stressed out. So today is my fried rat-day :)
Have to write a job application in English, translate my cv, pickup 6 bottles of champagne at Systembolaget, bring the bottles to Nordic Light where I am hosting a champagnetasting tomorrow, run back to the other side of town where I'm meeting Mi for dinner and then off to a Robyn-concert. Now, I know it's all my own fault and it's all about pleasure but still... I must whine a little bit...
....
....

Ok I'm done!

So this week has been a full blown chaos at work. Rescheduling of plane tickets, rental cars and hotel rooms. And of course I'm stuck in the middle.
Went training yesterday, was actually quite fun once I got there. Sis is a great training partner. Came home and heated up some lasagna and started reading for the tasting tomorrow. Got some notes done, checked my email and my blog-buddies :).

Tonight is the Robyn-concert which will be fun. Mi and I are going, first to dinner and then the concert. It's sold out so I'm glad to have scored tickets.
Tomorrow Torbjorn and myself are hosting a champagne tasting. This time we are tasting vintages (De Venoge, Launois, Henriot and Pol Roger)
Just heard that the Pol Roger-bottle we ordered has gone missing... So I guess we'll have to find something else.

Now I better get back to creating order in my chaotic life....

Take care/E

One of those days

you just wish where over. No one seems to be able to decide anything at work which makes my work impossible... I just have to sit and wait!

Finished this amazing book I got from Gonzo to review. It really very nice. I finished the review in the last minute.

Found this really cool job that I'm applying for. But I have to write the application in English and I also have to translate my CV.

Did some IMing with the soon to be priest. He keeps bugging about sending hm pictures of me since "looks are so important" God, drop it already. We might met on Friday anyway so then he'll see what I look like and if he doesn't like it... well too bad. The way he was going on about looks I assume he is the hottest guy on the block.

Am trying to get a boule-game and dinner together. Most people have answered yes which is nice. H has said yes to boule and she will probably say no to dinner since she doesn't want to eat with M&J.. they are so cheap bla bla. I would actually prefer if she didn't coma at all. She is not any fun to be around right now.

Oh well, should get to bed now. Have a big customer coming in tomorrow so I must be in the office early.

Sweet dreams

What is it about sex?!?!

Friday Gonzo called and my quiet night at home turned into after work with some wine a Berns and the dinner at Riche. The food was ok, I would say, not great but it's always nice to hang out with Gonzo. She is really an energy kick that I need right now. Will start to look for a new job this week...
At work some of the people I'm working with found out that I'm leaving and got really upset. So I'm gonna try to use some of my contacts to find something and cooler to do.

Was supposed to met D after hours but he was out with some friends and go really drunk so he called me when I got home. He is quite into the... more explicit type of phone sex... I can write the dirtiest textmessages or emails but actually saying it. It's a bit harder :) Well, at least he seemed to enjoy it.... I believe I prefer the "real thing" so to speak.

Saturday was laundry day. Got most of the laundry done and then off to sis to pick up a nutcracker and an oysterknife for the dinner party. Got sms from H asking if I wanted to have dinner with her. I'm sorry to say but I was happy to have other plans. I don't have the strength to deal with her extreme negativity right now. I need people around me to pick me up not drag me down...Tried to talk sis into having dinner with her but she feels the same way about her. It's sad because we usually have fun but lately it's been to much. I pity O who is going to Barcelona with her, I'm glad I'm not going...

The champagne dinner was really nice. Some really nice wines and great conversations. Oysters are not really my thing... to much like seawater for my taste but the rest was great.
Got home at a quite decent hour and called A to decide about breakfast today.
He took me to the strangest place, Cafe String, not really my type of place... but breakfast was nice and I do enjoy his company. We had a nice walk around Soder.

Got home and fell asleep reading the book I'm reviewing. It's not a boring book, but I am so so tired...

D has apparently some back problems so he had to got to some chiropractor... poor guy.
This other guy I've met is also very into sex. I don't know if I bring that out in him or if that is his normal behavior. I've been told that I look like sex but seriously....We are going to met for a drink some time next week and then I'll see what happens.
Oh, and I've been asked out by this guy who is studying to be a priest. We have had some really nice conversations about religion and beliefs. He seems very nice. But can I date a priest??? Don't know unless I try, right :)

Well, dinner is in the owen. Made a lasagna and tried a few new tricks. Let's see what that tastes like.

Tonight I finally watching the movie I got 3 weeks ago, Mona Lisa's smile, with Julia Roberts. Hope it's nice, I need some distraction.

JE called too. His broken arm is better so we are taking a weekend away soon. Maybe I can get him to go to Barcelona with me as other J and myself not really talking anymore. Wonder why, I thought we were cool but apparently not....

Do visit my girl HappyButterfly and cool US army man Chairborne Stranger and don't forget very funny English guy Caustic Sofa

Anyway have a nice Sunday and take care

Song of the day: Dance with the DJ - Alcazar

Fashionistas and madmen

Went to Nordic Light hotel to check out their new martini bar with a date on Wednesday night. The martinis where great, the date was .... strange. He was a very nice guy - well educated, welldressed, wellmannered but very strange. He wanted to talk about sex and sex and sex and then some more sex.... Don't get me wrong I like to talk about sex, can do it for hours but with my friends not total strangers. So I let him do most of the talking and I did most of the martini drinking ;)

Yesterday, sis and I had dinner at Jensens and then we saw Saturday Night Fever with lovely Andreas from Alcazar. The dancing and singing was great - the acting was not so great but Andreas is fab so he is excused.

So inspired by Ali and Gonz I too will state my fashionlist:

My style: working: regular and classic. playing: colors and glam
Favourite designers/brands: Xuly Bet, Tara Jarmon
Budget: increasing...
Fashion icon: Mary J Blige
Must-have this fall: boots, boots, boots
Worst fashion error: Miniskirts and anything during the 80's
Worst fashion memory: Boy toy-clothes
Best-buy: my black Biancoboots from last fall, red Italian dress purchased in Rome in 1997 and I'm still using it.
Worst-buy: a pair of shoes in Budapest - to small and so not me
Favourite clothes: black Bianco boots, butt-loving Cheap Monday-jeans
Favourite shoes: black Bianco-boots, Esprit sneakers
Most expensive: Tara Jarmon-dress which ex-boyfriend still has
My jewelry box: all about silver
My fashion motto: Fuck it, I'm fab :)

This weekend is all about luxury: doing the vintage champagnedinner thing tomorrow and Sunday it's fab brunch with lovely A.

The Wednesday-date guy called and wanted to have drinks tonight. I haven't decided yet but one quick drink can't hurt (famous last words ;)).

On Thursday there is the champagnetasting so I need to start cramming my books again.

Ok, back to work now. Have so much to do today I don't even know where to start....

Take care

and oh so tired!! But having good faith for a great fall and winter.

Picked up the jeans I've been craving - Cheap Monday - just love them!
Applied for a really cool job today too. Have to work on my CV now as I only have 3 more weeks to go now. But it looks like it'll be some very busy 3 weeks.

Read my horoscope today and it seems like I will have a lot of fun comingmy way. I only believe in it when it says something good or fun... like "you are having a pair of Manolos strutting your way" ;)

Got an amazing energykick from my girl Gonzo last time I saw her. She has had some bad news but I hope everything will work out for the best.

A is back - amazing, sexy, funny and great sex-A. We had the best time last summer and I haven't forgotten about him, or any of the things we did. Well, we'll see how things work out...

Am still looking in to moving to Paris to work. Don't really know what I'll do there but Paris is always Paris. Can never get enough of that city :)

Need to catch up on my sleep now

See ya

Song of the day: Don't wanna talk - Lynden David Hall

Still under the influence

of the amazing movie, Crash...

Can't really think of anything to write here, feeling very unfocused and restless.... Don't know why.

Song of the day - Girls go crazy - R Kelly

CRASH!!

God, what a movie. It is by far the best one I've seen this year. It has everything: laughter, tears, frustration, anger...Had a great weekend.
Friday was By the Sea with PLF and some of her friends. Had some wine and some really good laughs. Got home at a quite decent hour due to some stuff to do on Saturday.

Saturday met M for some serious shopping. First off to the STREET-market at Soder. Picked up the most amazing ring 400 sek, but I'm worth it. Then stopped by WeekDays for some Cheap Monday-jeans but didn't have the patience to wait in line so I'll go back on Monday. M needed some jeans so off to TopShop and the Lee-store. Tried to get her to buy the same ACNEjeans as I have but she wasn't sure... I'll keep on working on it cause with her legs they really work :)
I needed boots - got the nicest pair at Bianco and a quick stop at HM got me a few new tops. I wish I was as efficient when it comes to work as I am when I'm shopping :)
Meet J for a quick coffee and then we saw Crash. Am still totally affected by it, amazing :)

After the movie we had a nice Italian dinner at Kol & Kox. Got home and tried on some of my new outfits and went to bed.
Got a weird sms from creepy date guy at 4.30 but can't bothered to answer it. My one fear is that he'll just show up on my doorstep one day. Wonder what I'll do then....On one hand I am a 32 year old woman and quite capable of taking care of myself but on the other if he wants to hurt me (or worse) I'm on my own...
J sent a mess from a "schlager"-party. Doesn't seem like his scene. He seems more like a rock kind of guy.

Today I slept for hours, guess I needed the sleep. Then I met AT and F to plan our huge champagnedinner thing. We'll be downing 3000 sek worth of champagne - will be so nice!
Chatted a bit with Andre in London. He invited me to come and stay with him when I'll be unemployed.

Have to start reading the book I'm reviewing. It due on the 11th.

Take care
Song of the day: Come Undone - Duran Duran

Goodiebags...

Had a nice night at Kharma with homegirl Gonzalita at the Dermalogica mingle.
Had my skinscreened. Actually the news were better than I thought.
Gonzo gave me a new book to review and two mascaras to test. The book seems very nice.

Got some advice on skinproduct which I'll be trying out. I'm going shopping with other girl, Mi on Saturday so we'll stop by the motherships of fabness NK and pick up some of the stuff. I also need new fall jacket and new boots. This fall I'll spend walking around town on crisp, clear and sunny days in a very english countryside mannor :)

Also made time for a date last night. Had a glass of wine with a guy from SD. He was very nice, lookwise 100% my type but I don't know...We will probably see eachother again soon, so we'll see. Might also meet JE for lunch today. He is a lot of fun, very much a mother-in-laws-dreamguy. My mom would probably like him and for me (in my very childish teenage rebellionway) it's a downside.

Tonight I'm going out with PLF. Haven't seen her in ages so it'll be fun. last night we were out we downed one bottle of Xanté, it seemed like a good idea at the time but I paid for that the next day... :) but we had fun.

Told J about crazy-stalker guy. He promised he'd help me if I needed it. I have done kickboxing for 5 years but it still freaks me out a bit... Ran into him on the street the other day and he actually followed me to a coffeeshop. Damn!

Better get back to work now

Getting LOST again pt II

Found the most amazing text online today.
I'm going to translate parts of it:

"When Cain killed Abel, at the dawn of mankind, God called to him and said: Where is your brother Abel?" And Cain called back to God "Am I my brothers keeper?"
The answer is yes. Yes you are your brothers keeper. That is why you are here.
If someone is cold
You shall give him clothes
If someone is hungry
You shall feed him
If someone is afraid
You shall comfort him and give him a place to feel safe
It is just that simple and just that hard
The other one is a stranger, just like you"

That's something to think about, isn't it?!?!

The other J called today. We are having lunch on Friday to catch up. We had a great time when we dated last summer. Just a few dates and then I met A and fell head over heels.
J is nice, very funny and charming, has a good education and a great job. A very "good on paper" -guy :) Just the kind of guy mama'll like... Question is, is he the kind of guy I'll like?!?!
I mean I know I like him but do I like-like-like him? Well we'll see after Friday lunch :)
He has promised as soon as he is better, he has a broken arm, he is going to "abduct" me some place cool. I have no idea where to but I tried to get him to tell me on the phone today but he wouldn't... Could be fun.

I have now 3 weeks left at work and then I have no idea what I'm gonna do. Paris is an option I'm seriously considering, New York is also an option and of course getting a job in Stockholm and staying here would be the easiest thing but I feel like I need to challenge myself a bit now. I've had it to easy for a while now and I need a change of scenery.
Sure, I'll miss my friends but we'll keep in touch. that's why IM was invented :)

Better get back to LOST now. Sawyer is my favorite, Jack is dull, Kate is boring, Locke is cool and the Asian guy is kinda hot ;)

Magnet Monster - Space Lords

Confessions

These are my confession:
I miss him I miss him I miss him I miss him I miss him I miss him I miss him...
a little bit less every day.
Now that's said and I won't say it again.

My girl Gonzo is adorable. She is encouraging me to get my fab ass to Paris and I really think I'm going. God, now I feel that excitement inside that I haven't felt in a long time...
I want to find that feeling of happiness again, you know when you feel happy on the inside - where it really matters.

I'll always have Paris :)

What a day...

Have been feeling sick all day. The only upside is that it isn't morningsickness ;)
Am still feeling sick and have a soar throat... A little selfpity is always good.

Anyway, work is ok - am still quite on top of the situation. I guess I don't get it yet... that I'm actually leaving. For the first time in my life I will have absolutely nothing to do. What a thought! If I would be abducted on Saturday night...noone would know on Monday morning since no one would miss me... I wonder what that'll be like.
(Watching Scrubs - love that show :) Zach Braff has the most amazing lips actually...and he is funny to. Do watch Garden State if you have to opportunity)

So, about my pathetic love life... what to do?!?!
Sis thinks J and I are perfect together and she has told me not to let him go.
H thinks he isn't "good enough for me" (her words not mine) and he doesn't treat me in a very nice way.
And me, what do I think...
On the one hand: he is great, he has almost everything I ever wanted in a man, we do have fun together most of the time. Once, when I really needed him he was there for me.
The downside is that I feel like he is looking for something else ie I'm not his type.

I hope we can stay friends. I guess we won't be going to Barcelona... Oh speaking of Barcelona. H&O are going. She said the meanest things about O last time I saw her. I can't believe that he puts up with all the crap. He totally deserves better... Because he is a really nice guy. Speaking of nice guys G is so funny. He ran Lidingoloppet on Saturday, and then we went out for drinks. He insisted on drinking beer even if he'd rather had cocktails - strange but fun...
I'll go to Barca some other time :)

So, what shall I do?!?! Last time I spoke to him...or well I sent a message but I felt quite good about having the guts to do it. So maybe I'll just risk making a total fool of myself and tell him how I feel about it...

I'll sleep on it and decide tomorrow - in a very Gone with the Wind-kind of way :)

Take care
Song of the day: Walking away - Craig David

Love don't live here anymore

Can't even begin to tell you about the date I had on Friday... He was sweet,kind and oh so dull!!!
Sent an SOS text mess to J, but what is it about men... They don't get it, do they. He was supposed to come to my rescue but oh no he was at home playing a videogame or whatever. So I suffered... Don't mean to bash the guy but he is not my man so to speak...

Got home quite early and off to bed.
Spent most of Saturday in front of SATC, managed however to get my laundry done...
Then into the bathroom to do girl's stuff and get beautiful for the M&P-party. Meet up with J and H at Storstad for some drinks and then off to the party. H and I left early due to some...Unexpected company I wasn't to keen on...
Met G and his cousin at Sturehof for a few drinks (mostly vodkalime). I have a new theory: if I stick to the same type of alcohol I don't get as hungovered... Let me tell you: it's not working;)
At least not with vodka. Next time I'll go for champagne instead.

Today was the big familyday:mum and dad have been married for 40 years and this was celebrated with MammaMia - the musical and dinner at Pontus. Very nice. Actually managed to spend an entire evening with my mum and not get into a fight or some twisted teenage sulking. Maybe I'm growing up?!?!

Have been tearing myself up about J lately. I have so much going on right now that I really need his support but on the other hand I can't stand the fact that he is seeing someone else. I do believe I'm as close to being in love as I have ever been... Need to talk about this soon but not yet. On the one hand the best thing for me would be to not talk to him or even see him at all until I'm over totally over him but I don't want to do that. He is so kind, nicer to me than I deserve, and supportive and just great...I need him in my life. He means a lot to me and I want him as my friend. Maybe we need to really "break up" before we can start over as friends. The greatest thing would be to go to Barcelona, have a fab weekend with shopping and laughing and good wine and good food and then end it there and then. This way we could end it in a good place and I'll remember him fondly. BS but I'll try to believe in it.

I'll call him tomorrow...Maybe... Possibly if I can find the strength to do it.

Song of the day:Separated - Usher

A quiet day

today. It's official: I'm leaving! It feels pretty sad actually. Having a job gives you a certain sense of security.
Applied for the other job today. Sis wrote a great application for me and I sent it today - keep my fingers crossed...

If that doesn't work out I'll look into working in Paris for a while. I mean if I survived Nykoping - Paris can't be that bad....
J called me back today. Didn't tell him about it. I don't want to bother him with my problems but he is incredibly sweet to me. On the upside: I'm now free for a trip to Barcelona whenever. On the downside: no money...
Maybe I'll tell him later...

I actually have a date tomorrow with a guy from SD. Might be fun but I'll have sis as a plan B incase he turns out to be a drag. We are meeting for a drink at 8.
At work everyone is really nice to me. T, K and I had lunch today. T is really funny, he tells all these crazy stories from when he was living in Gotland.
I didn't really get that much done today, didn't seem like anyone else did either.

Tomorrow I get paid so I'm going to look for a new pair of boots for the winterseason. God, there are so many cool clothes out there now and I need to go shopping....

Sunday the family are going to watch MammaMia - the Abba musical and then dinner at Pontus by the Sea - can be nice. And in two week sis and me are going to see Saturday Night Fever starring lovely Andreas from Alcazar :)

Anyway, take care!

Love/E

Song of the day: Never stop - Brand New Heavies

Losing my

...job. My employment will end in one month which feels kinda sad. I thought I would at least get until this summer to find a new job. Felt sad today and called j but he didn't have time to talk. I probably shouldn't lay this on him, it's not really his problem.

Found this really great job I'm applying for today. Sis is helping me write the application.

On the plus side: went by NK to pick up some make up to cheer myself up today and as I walked through Kungsan this really go looking guy came up to me and asked me out :) He is from Jamaica, it's not a very Swedish thing to just walk up to someone on the street and ask them out. Haven't decided if I'm going or not yet.
Am meeting some friends on Friday a bit later for drinks - will be fun. And on Saturday it's Maria's and Peter's party - the theme is RED so I'll be wearing my red dress. I do believe I look a bit like a prostitute in red but what the hell... I know most people who are going.

At work I rule :) I have most of everything under control now which feels good. I will leave everything in order. I don't know who will be taking over after me, supposedly someone in Gothenburg. I'll be getting that information later.
I hope I do get to go to the Finish ceremony in Gothenburg... Oh well, maybe this is the kick in the but I need to get all my other plans going. I will definetly look into the possibility to go work in Paris or New York.
If I were to move abroad I would really miss everyone but I wouldn't be that far away, Paris is only 2h 45 ms by air....

Better go to bed now

Take care

Too fast for love

Time flies... sometimes too fast for me to catch up...
I think I missed one day last week, suddenly it was Friday again and I don't know what happened.

The week end was nice but full of stuff. Friday I was home cleaning the place and then my stray friend Nicky came over for some apple martinins. We watched some fashion shows he had on VHS and bitched about fashion.
Saturday I realized that I forgot to turn off my alarmclock....

Saturday night HN had his birthdayexhibition. It was really cool :) He showed some of his favourite items and clothes. Afterwards we went to Nalen for a light dinner and some drinks. They had a really great drinklist. H wasn't there. She was at Storstad with someone and didn't want to join us since she is oh so annoyed that Swedish people are so cheap...
Was probably for the best any way. I'm tired of having to defend my self and all swedish habits that gets her going. Will see her on Saturday though for Marias and Peters party.

Got home at a quite decent hour, shared a cab with sis and T. T has got a new fab job - shout out to her!! Decided to go out for cocktails some night and some dancing, haven't gone dancing in ages... Will be fun!!

Oh and I got a nice surprise too: K, who lives in Bruxelles was at HN's party. It was really nice to see her and her sister again.

The baptism was nice. I got him a small chair, tip from a co-worker. It seems like Tindra, the big sis, liked it the most.

Sunday was spent avoiding creepy date-guys calls and textmessages....
Went for walk and did my duty as a citizen and voted in the church elections. I also, very discretely, covered the bills from the Swedishdemocrats... it's illegal - I know but a little civil disobedience can't hurt :)

Then back to the house to make some calls and Nicky came over again for some SATC and som epopcorn. Made ribs for dinner and enjoyed them with some wine.

Late at night creep date-guy send textmess asking if he could come over. He said that if I really wanted to meet him time and place wouldn't matter. Ok, newsflash: time and place always matters!!! Always! I don't invited someone I've met once and don't really like over at 11 at night when I'm in bed...
Told him that if he wanted a bootycall he was barking up the wrong tree. He claimed that booty wasn't what he wanted and that I should try to be more spontaneous.... I am but not when I'm half asleep...
Anyway, think he is gone for good now, I at least hope so...

Monday I met AT and T to plan our next champagnetasting. We are going for standard/prestige/magnum this time. And also some more about the actual winemaking. Means I must get started on some reading...

Am tired today, due to a naughty conversation with J late last night ;)

Am going to call G about meeting up Saturday night. He is so much fun to hang with.

Better get back to work now. I'm annoyed today due to some peoples total lack of competence...

Fall is here

and with a vengance. This last week has been cold and rainy like it usually is in September.
This obviously means I need to get a new warmer jacket :) and if I have a new jacket I'll be needing boots too...
Will do some serious shopping as soon as I can find the time.

Saturday is HN's birthday. I'm gonna get him that cool belt I saw at HM. He is actually holding a small sale of all of his stuff. Quite a cool idea! I'm dying to see the movie Crash so I'm going to suggest it for Saturday.

Have so much stuff to do at work right now. But tomorrow I'm gonna take some time off to go and visit R, who is in the hospital. He doesn't want flowers so I thought I could bring him a cool magazine so he'll have something to read. At first I intened to pick up something about motorcycles but then...It might not be such a great idea since he crashed on his bike and ended up in the hospital.

Saturday in stepbro's sons baptismceremony. And I, late as usal do not have a gift. So Thursday or Friday I'll go and try to find something for him... Can believe how fast the days are going - feels like I miss at least one day each week.

Better get back to LOST again :)

Song of the day: Shame - Alexander O'Neil

Dinner with friends

Had a great weekend :)
Friday was spent alone at home: cleaning, watching tv and listening to music. Creepy-date guy called and I, very unwillingly, picked up. He wanted to come over and rent a movie... Damn! He just doesn't know when to quit, does he?!?!? Told him that I was spending a quiet night at home. He insisted on calling me this week and we should met for drinks. Ok, I admit I haven't been totally straight forward but still.
H thinks he is a total psycho. I did actually ask him about the 8 calls last Sunday and he said he never called. Uuuhm...right - ever heard of caller id?!?!

Saturday was great! Got up decently late, had breakfast and then off grocery shopping as friends were coming over for dinner. Decided to make Mole-chicken and Pannacotta. If I may say so myself: I am quite the cook :) It was really great!! For starters I made mushroom sandwiches and we had the De Venoge blanc de noir to go with it. Oh so good :)

With the food we had Riesling from Chile and with the desert my Noe from Jerez.

After some talking about everything from IDOL 2005 to politics we decided to leave the house for some drinks. Sis went home and HN didn't join us either - they had a concert the next day.
H and me met up with G and A at Sturehof for some rasperry carpinoschas and some great laughs. Told G about creppy-date guy and he laughed until he cried...

Sunday was laundry day and then off to sis' concert in Oscarkyrkan. They sang some gospel with was really nice. After my spirit had its share it was time to satify my beautyobsession: watched Batman Begins (3,5/5) with the gorgeous Christian Bale. Nice to see Liam Neeson not being the good guy...

Had a glass of wine and some thai food with H. She is in one of her bitter periods again. This time it's all about how cheap people in Sweden are... and she has to leave because she can't stand it. Was temped to ask he if she found me cheap too, especially after the dinner on Saturday night, but I didn't.
I do think it's all about how you decide to handle things like that. You can get all worked up about it or you could just ignore it... Leaving is not a solution to anything as you are taking you with you wherever you go....

Big shoutout to day to Ali and Carl who got married this weekend :)

Champagne, champagne part II

Had the champagnetasting at Grappe yesterday. It went very well, everyone was very nice and asked a lot of questions. I couldn't answer all of them but Torbjörn was a big help.
After the tasting we had some cheese and I shared another bottle of Pierre Peters with AnnaT.

As Grappe closes quite early we moved on to TBar at Diplomat for some champagnecocktails. Was home at a quite decent hour but quite undecently drunk and sent some very indecent messages to J ;) He was playing records at a club somewhere. Now, that is very cool - he is actually a DJ :)
At least I didn't get caught dancing on the way home this time... ;)

Had an important meeting this morning so the subway was of course late and I had to run most of the way. Am wearing my new ZARA-top today and I, if I may say so myself, look damn nice in it.

Spent most of the morning suffering from the "Day-after" - effect but after lunch it feels better.

Heard that R, my ex since ages, has been in a car accident. He is in hospital with a broken pelvic. Damn, that must hurt. Will call him when I get some time...

So, today is Friday and tomorrow I'm sleeping in!! Gonna be so nice. I really need to cathc up on my sleep as I've been a very busy girl this week.

Gonna spend the rest of the afternoon faking work and looking for great stuff to do in Barcelona with J.

Take care

Song of the day: Robbie Williams - Something beautiful

Fall is

a great season for me. Love the clothes and the weather, well not today as it was raining, but I love those clear, crisp falldays.
I can wear warm clothes, eat indoors and wear sunglasses without any second thoughts.

At work today I rocked :) Was in total control and manage to hold up at least 3 phones and a few other things at the same time... I'll show them that i'm really good at what I do - no doubts about that.
J and I are still planning our possible trip to Barca - it would be great if we actually could do it. I hope I can get some time of.

This Saturday I'm having a dinner party. Have invited H, G, sis, T and J. Tanja is going to Italy so she can't come but H is coming that'll be fun. We are going out for cocktails afterwards. Am probably doing AW with Gonzo on Friday which is usually very funny. Haven't seen her in a while so it'll be great fun.
Haven't decided yet what to eat but the desert is decided PannaCotta so i think I'll go for something light for maincourse.
I also have to prepare for the champagentasting tomorrow. We are tasting grapes this time, should be interesting...

Haven't heard anything from date-weirdo today. Good, maybe he finally got it. He seemed liek a nice person but I simply wasn't interested and absolutely not attracted to him. But I really think calling 8 times in ine morning is way over the top. It's a fine line between courting and stalking :)

Well that's over and done with.

Take care!

"Someone who doesn't judge me"

A very wise person said that today. The question was: What turns you on? Who do you want to be with? He answered "Someone who doesn't judge me"

That is what I'm looking for too.

T is gone. We apparently didn't have the same opinion about some things. Like having sex on the first date and such... I can't bothered with someone who judges me like that.

Spent a busy day at the office getting all the travels together. Obviously office-idiot had to find some fault with what I was doing. Then I did some shopping with H. We stopped by NK but didn't find anything then onto Zara where I icked up some casual wear for work. Speaking of work: I'm working on getting J to go with me to Barcelona. Think we would have a great time: shopping and partying, sightseeing and doing cool stuff.
Am thinking about putting togheter a dinnerparty on Saturday with G and H. And I'll see if J can join us - either for dinner or later if we go out. Am so dying for some real fun with people who really care about me.

J has been the best: encouraging and supporting. If it hadn't been for him I'd sink like a stone and just vanish. He is much nicer to me than I deserve. I hope I can "repay" him someday.
He is coming over, I hope, some night this week so we can hang out, just the two of us.
There so much more I can say but I'm so tired now...

Take care and remember to surround yourself with people who wants only good thing s for you :)

Alca-star gazing

I'm an Alca-star :)
Went to the Alcazar-consert after all on Friday. Some wine with the co-workers made me feel better. Had a surprisingly nice time doing AW in the office.

Met sis, Henri and their ethiopian friend at Gröna Lund and the concert was really great! It's their last performance for now - no one knows when they'll be back. But they ended with fab style and total gala. Lost of dancing and some really cool moves. I think they managed to squeeze in all of their hits in the show. And they where absolutely beautiful!
Met lovely Mats, Magnus' boyfriend and soon to be husband.

Then we ended up at Strand for some wine and talking.
Yesterday was the Kräftskiva at Wessens. Really nice but very cold. Sang a few song and translated them into english for Isakurh. When you think about it most swedish songs are about drinking and/or forgetting your troubles by drinking. No wonder we have a rep to be sad and moody but heavy drinkers :)

Today I'm screening my calls.. due to creepy-Kevin calling. He suggested that he should come over here today for "coffee". Don't get me wrong I do respect a mans whishes to get some but he is not getting any with me... I don't find him very attractive but I don't know how to say that. I wonder if I'll get away with not answering the phone ever again when he calls. I mean when will he get it stop calling. He has called me 8 times today! I would call once, leave a message and leave it at that. Must have some selfrespect and ride. Never ever beg - that's just sad...

If he calls again I will answer and just say 'no'. I suppose this is what A means with my boundry-issues... I'm not good at saying no to things or to people. Usually that's fun cause I end up going to or doing a lot of funny stuff but sometimes it can get me into trouble... like today. He knows where I live, what do I do if he just shows up on my door step?!?!? GOD!

I'll just say that I keep the phone on mute - which is true and that I'm ill - which is close to the truth (am coughing today) and that I'm staying in today - which is almost true and that I'll call him this week - which is not entirely true...

Ego-cuddling...

is always nice! Had my share of that yesterday. First I was totally on top of my jobsituation. All the stuff I finished last night would have broken a weaker spirit ;) Then went on a date with the Kevin-person who has been after me for a while. He waited for me for 45 mns outside my office so he must have been really eager to met me. We had a quite nice time but since I'm not really feeling well I kept it pretty short so I was home at around 8.
Then he started to send me some quite odd textmessages... It's not that I mind getting dirty messages it's just that I don't want to get it from a person I've known for 2 hrs...

And then to totally make my day T called and asked: "where is my woman?" Told him his woman was in bed feeling ill. Too bad cause he wanted me to come over and see his new place. We'll do it some other night... He missed me which I like :)

Was checking out Barcelonatickets today, about 6000 for two tickets to Barca. I'd love to go with J since he is almost my equal when it comes to shopping and partying. Actually I think he is more into partying than me and we have fun together. He is a nice guy (I'm not writing that just cause I know he reads this ;)).

Having some doubts about the Alcazarconsert tonight. As I'm going to the Wessen-party tomorrow I don't think I'll be going tonight and I don't want to go alone...
Am not really feeling well but am feeling happier today. Probably because I got som much done last night and really showed my capacity at work.

Think I'm going to spend Friday night with a nice glass of wine and my new favourite pass-time: not T as one might think, but SuDoku :) and maybe rent a DVD.
If you need me, I'll be on my couch ;)

Take care!

Getting Lost again

My favourite TVseries in on again. Lost on channel 4. It's so exciting!
I read the coolest theory about it: all the people on the island are actually dead but they have to face their demons to get to move on to the afterlife...Seems reasonable!

I confess: I'm a shopoholic. Had a meeting in Kista today and to get to and from the office I had to pass through Kista C, which has a lot of stores. On my way back I suddenly found myself trying on a new skirt in one shop and picking up a knitted sweater in another. Oh well, I work hard and earn my own money and I'm worth it :)

My work situation is improving a bit but I don't think I'm gonna stay after this project is over. Haven't felt very happy lately but I don't know if it's my job or my life in general.
Got my bathroom done, got some new clothes, solved some financial issues and I'm still feeling disturbed by something... I don't know what it is. I think I really need to have some serious fun. Like one crazy night Gonzo and I had with H&O at Berns...

Will round up some people next weekend and party!
Maybe it's the T-situation. Maybe I expected to much....

Don't miss the wonderful John Legend tonight on TV at 22.30

Take care
Song of the day: Live It Up - John Legend

With a little help

from my friend J I finally got the mirror and the shelf up in the bathroom :)
Due to my... creative measurements we had to move the mirror around a few times and this has left some not so nice holes in the wall. I'll try to find some nice paint to cover them with...
I suppose I can blame the crookedness on my faulty eyes... I have to get new glasses soon!

In exchange for his physical effort I made dinner. Think my cooking skills surprised him ;) But my grandmother taught me well. She started when I was 7. My first lesson was making a bearnaisesauce from scratch and if I didn't get it right she'd pour it out and I would start again...
Picked up some wine on the way home too and we shared a bottle as J wasn't driving. He has sold his car, the Smart. Seems like he had a nice weekend canoeing in the wild. Actually he was in my old hood - Nyköping. Creeps me out just thinking about it. I'm so glad to be back in town!

Thinking about asking T to join me at the party on Saturday. Must take this under some serious advicement... Wonder if creepy couple M&M are coming. I'm so mean but I hope they break up soon. Can't stand them together - they truly bring out the worst in eachother...

Shouldn't you be with someone who makes you feel relaxed and brings out the best in you not a person who you compete with in everything. Oh well, as I so rarely meet them I don't really care.

Started planning a bouleevent with my posse. Boule is a nice sport. You don't sweat and you can drink wine doing it :) Speaking of sweating I'm going boxing tonight again. And I'll wear my new white sporttop :)

Saw the coolest belt that I need (if I want it - I need it) it has "I don't need your attitude, I got one of my own" written on it. Just one problem: it's a mans belt so it's quite large but maybe I can make new holes in it. Must have it!

Today it's nice and sunny, unfortunately I have to be indoors working. Speaking of the weather: hope things work out i New Orleans. I haven't been yet and I'm dying to see the old French Quarters.

List of places I want to visit:
1. Egypt - the pyramids
2. Paris - can't ever get enough
3. New York - for the vibe
4. New Orelans - the big Easy
5. Napa Valley - for the wine and the views
6. Las Vegas - "we're in Las Vegas tonight" :)
7. HongKong, Shanghai and Macao - decadent and mysterious
8. Peru - The Inka trail
9. Haiti - history, rum and vodoodolls
10. Berlin - clubbing and shopping
11. Istanbul - carpets, palaces and bellydancers
12. Rome - Ecce Roma
13. Alaska - coola nature very Peak Performance
14. Barcelona - Gaudi and shoe-heaven
15. San Fransisco - hills, trams and trannies

and so many other places...

City-girl

Have realized that I am a city girl and totally incompatible with nature...

Was supposed to go to one of the Kräftskivor on Saturday. I got the impression that it wouldn't be that far. I ended up walking through the woods in my heels for about 35 mns... That is too far! What's wrong with throwing a party down town?? The party was ok but my mood changed radically after the walk so I left early.

Friday was Annica's party. It turned out quite well. She enjoyed it very much and she is worth it. I wasn't able to attend the actual disputation but they said she did great. Good girl :)
Sat next to Love, which was nice. Haven't seen him in ages so we caught up. He is actually a father since 2 months.

Yesterday I wanted to work on my bathroom and get the mirror and the 2 new cool shelfs up.

Apparently my walls are made out of concrete and they really didn't cooperate with me and the drill... Called T but he was moving into his new apartment so he could help me. Called J and he was away doing something outdoorsy . Not even the usual "you are som masculine and pease help me"-routine didn't work... But he is coming over tonight to help me - very nice :) And I'm supposed to make him dinner. Very 50ies... Big Strong Man working with tools and Small Weak Woman in the kitchen ;)
Very Me Tarzan- You Jane

But not every Jane has her own toolbox :)

My parents finally got rid of the other house - good news. They stopped by last night with some of the stuff my grandfather left me, his chessgame among other things. Me and granddad spent a lot of time with that game so it means a lot to me. I wonder if it'll feel strange to play with someone else...

Friday I'm in love...

or am I?!?!

Don't know but I'd love to find out :)

So Friday...tonight it's Annicas disputationsfest which I'm not really looking forward to... My parents are gonna be there - not fun at all and I'm tired and I've seen the guest list and most guests are her strange scientist friends. Well H and sis are gonna be there so that's ok I guess.
Tried to get G to join but he has a bachelorparty tonight.

Tomorrow it's AnnaT's kräftskiva - it's somewhere in Lijleholmen, quite far but some cool people are going.

Yesterday turned into a long long day... Worked until 7.30 pm with travel management. And then off to M&P for some champagne.. actually not some I think we downed 8 bottles for 5 people ;)
Am not really feeling as tired as I thought I would but I got home at around midnight. Guess I'll pay for it later.

Next week I'll take one afternoon and do all my shopping for the fall season. I really love the fall lines this year: purple, red, dark green, great fabrics and great styles.
Need new boots, at least one handbag and one larger bag, a few scarves, a nice hat.

Am wearing the Xuly Bet tonight and the fab white shoes, regardless I will at least be fab :)

Might be having dinner with T on Sunday but we haven't decided yet. I might be in a coma due to too much partying so we'll see. I love that he finds me beautiful and sexy - I know I'm a sucker for compliments but what the hell...

Song of the day: I want you - Savage Garden

"Oh I want you, I don't know if I need you but I'd love to find out"

Now playing...

"Living la vida loca" with the ever so fab - Ricky Martin.

Just remebered how my very drunk sis staggered around a New Yearsparty some years ago singing this song and then falling alseep on a couch. Quite a funny sight :)

Finally the client event is over and done with. I worked it quite nicely, if I may say so myself. Looking very business-like and smiling and greeting all the guests.
The service at Clarion wasn't the best but all the small issues where quite quickly solved.

Met two really nice sisters that I'll be staying in touch with - exchanged businesscards :)

Finally swallowed my pride (and gave into my my lower needs ;)) and called T. He was home but he came over for dinner. He has had a haircut so no more backslick and he is growing a goatee and my God he looks great. So sexy and very masculine - just as I like it. And like icing on the cake he is smart, funny, ambitious and sweet AND likes to dance and cook...

We watched a really crappy film "French Kiss" with Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline, I almost fell asleep a few times but he kept waking me up.

The end of the week is filled with parties. M is celebrating her Taiwan-thing with champagne at P's place tonight. Friday is Annica's disputationsfest and Saturday is AnnaT's kräftskiva.

Just got an invitation to a kräftskiva at Wessens' place. Their parties are infamous and great. Am really looking forward to that. Unfortunately PFL is having her birthday drinks the same day so I'll miss that.

Precious

Precious occasions need to be appreciated :)
Had one of those walking to work this morning. The sun was shining in my face, John Legend in my Ipod and no stress....

Did accomplish a good thing today: finally put up the new shelf in my bathroom. Drilled and stuffed the holes with silicon and then hung the shelf. It looks really nice. Now I need to get a nice mirror so I can finally g get rid of that dreadful bathroom cupboard.... Am also thinking about repainting the walls but that'll be a later project.

Feeling a lot better today, the medicine I got is really helping I'm just worried that the wine I've had this weekend might have some negative impact om the effects. I'll try to look it up on the internet.

The party on Saturday was really nice, too bad som many left early. H, sis and me left at around 11. Sis went home and H and myself carried on to Riche for a few drinks. Talked to G, he was at Storstad so we never met up. He is the funniest guy. He called me just as I got home at around 2.30 to make sure that I wasn't mad at him for not showing up. We decided to meet for dinner some night this week. He is going to run in the StEriksloppet, that's 21 kms which is FAR!! I asked if he wanted to go running with me some day and he said yes. Now as I think about it maybe it's not such a great idea after all... I don't want to embarras myself but pukin gor passing out ;)

Went shopping with Mi on Sunday. Picked up some really nice stuff at HM: a top, a new belt with the writing "I'm not totally worthless, can be used as a bad example" on it, a scarf and a couple of thongs. Talked to T and it seems like he got the job he wanted which is cool and he is also getting a new place.
Then we went for coffee at MOJO and had a nice chat. As usaul with Mi, we laughed a lot and got quite loud... :)

This afternoon I got a surprise call from Kevin - the date who never showed. He wanted a second chance and I told him to call me next week. Also asked hi m why he didn't show. He claims that he was at Bistro Jarl but couldn't find me. I mean wouldn't you call then - I know I would... Oh well I don't think he'll call me back as I was quite rude to him... We'll see.

J told me that he was chased by some animal in the woods the other day. I think it was a badger. The y have quite a nasty bite I'm told. The woods are dangerous - i've always sadi that :)

Thinking about putting together a fall-evening with the Portugalposse... Either go bowling or play boule and then off to some nice place for dinner.

Noone wants to go and see Alcazar with me. Cannot believ that. Will make them go dancing in the world of disco!

Now it's almost time for CSI - gotto go

What's new?!?!

Came back from Gothenburg yesterday night. The flight was ok and the party was great.

Office-M came by my hotelroom to shower and we went together to the operahouse. It was really nice, good food and great champagne. Met the rest of the ERT-crew. They are all very nice. I think they like me more than the people I work with.... Maybe that's mean but sometimes I think it's true.

Tonight it's the 50-ies party organized by Maria and Peter. Am really looking forward to that. Sis, H and myself are going. We are meeting at H's place for make-up and some wine. And then off to the party in my pink shoes :)

Got my hair done and it looks great :) What really bothers me is that she said 3 hours and it took almost 6... T called and wanted to go for coffee but I didn't have time. Called him yesterday but no answer so I'll just hold off...

Saw J last friday - he has quit smoking and looks really nice. Has stared working out a lot too.. maybe I should try to get my act together in the healthylife stye dep.
Only wine and candy once a week
Healthier food and more excercise...

Just got a great idea: will indulge myself with a new pair of shoes or a bag for each 5 kg I loose :)

Now I should clean my apartment and get going...

See ya - take care!

Gunning down romance....

now playing in my baby Ipod. Have had a nice weekend again. Today sis and me went to IKEA and she was driving... She passed her drivers test this week. We got a bit lost but we finally made it. Picked up some stuff for the bathroom which I'll be fixing up later. Saturday I had my hair done. It's actually not ready yet - have to go back on Tuesday and finish it. Can't believe how long it took this time. Had to stop att 8 o'clock because I was going to meet with G and H for dinner. Stressed home to change and then hopped in a cab and went to Sturehof for dinner then off to NOX for drinks. G's friend H also showed up - he is really nice. G and I ended the evening at Riche with some wine.
Friday me and H went to Berns for AW. Got a chance to catch up a bit with Robbie and Svempa - two of the nicest guys I've worked with. Came home at aroung 11, quite intoxicated and very hungry. Had some food and popcorn and watched SATC.

J came over at around 1. He seemed quite down but it didn't seem like a god time to ask him what was going on. I'll try to ask him soon. Don't like to see him look unhappy.

Sent the review to Gonzo and she loved it. I'm glad cause I wasn't sure how to write it. I hope she'll send me another one cause I really enjoyed it. And I also got to read a book I probably wouldn't have read.

Last week ended very busy at work. We are now finalizing the travel plans and we will start making reservations on Monday. Looking at a quite busy schedule thi week too. And on Thursday I'm off to Gothenbur for the boatparty. Will be staying at a hotel, I love hotels!
Nice breakfast and someone else cleanin up your mess :) Speaking of cleaning I dropped some stuff under the bed so I had to crawl in there..... and God I really need to clean under the bed...

Better get started on the bathroom now.

Take care

Song of the day: Let it flow - Toni Braxton

New hair..

is on its way :) Called Patrice today and she can see me tomorrow evenig, just great! My weaves are truly looking bad right now. Bought new hair today spent 720 sek ans then another 1500 to Patrice, but I'm worth it.

Have been very busy at work this week and tired so no updates for a couple of days.

Sis passed her drivers license yesterday - am very happy for her and other EC-sis is getting married. I actually thought there were married.. but there you go :)

Coworker M almost got me loosing my temper today. The problem is that I don't really know what it is about him that totally rubs me the wrong way... but there is something! Need to address the problem so I'll bring it up with K soon. I will get to go to Gothenburg for the boat-party. WOnder what I shall wear... Am thinking about the black Zara-dress and my pin up shoes. We'll see...

Monday I'm meeting with AT and JL to plan the champagnetasting - will be fun and then I'm having dinner with cousin S too. Haven't seen him since easter so we have a lot of catching up to do...

Talked to T on the phone today which left me smiling almost all night. He is so sweet! I hope his jobsituation will work out. He is buying the new apartment -with a fireplace - that is nice.
Went to boxclass yesterday for the first time in 4 months. Believe me am paying for that today ;) Will start running once a week and boxing nce a week. That should be enough to keep me fit. I don't want to be too healthy after all :) Next week we need to make the arrangements for Bellmanstafetten... if we are going to do it that is. So far it's just H and myself so we need 3 more at least 1 male... Up for the challenge anyone?!?!?

Sunday sis is driving me to IKEA and then we are going to the movies - should be nice. Fridaynight is all about T and myself. Haven't seen him in a week due to work overload. Fun to have a lot of stuff to do but not so much fun comin ghome at 9 ever night because of work... And next week seems to be even worse with the Gothenburgevent as the peak. Wonder if officeM and me will travel together, hope so since I don't really like to fly...
Would love to see his place in Gothenburg to.

Better be off to bed now
Sweet dreams

Song of the day: Freedom 90 - George Michael

Sundaynight thought:

cool, soft and mellow. Was awakened by a textmess from Gonzo asking about latte and some catching up. We met at Västermalmsgallerian and had brunch. Then some shopping. Picked up a new shirt and a winestand for the kitchen.

Then back home to pick up some grocerys and spent most of the day reading the book I'm reviewing for VR.

Saturday was spent running with H, watching the Prideparade (fab) and dinner at H's place with sis and E. Haven't seen E in ages. I'm glad she is doing better now - she was totally burned out last time I saw her but now she seems to have gotten things together.

T called and wanted us to come over after dinner but the huge amount of talk and wine got to me so I went right home at about 1. He is great even if he has his ways.... He is very "couple-oriented" and I am not. Maybe I've been single too long, or have had to many strange relationships to give up my freedom and independence that easily. I wouldn't date anyone else (unless Lenny calls ;)) but introduce him as my boyfriend is a bit too soon.
Asked A about the toothbrush and he thinks it's my "relationship neuroses" that pops up. He claims that he noticed that about me when we were together last year but he didn't mention it then. When I met him last weekend he said I need to work on setting boundaries and need to learn to say no... Suppose he is right.
I'm going to start on Monday by letting office-M know what I think about his way at work.

H seems to got through one of her bitter periods at the moment. She totally bashes everything that isn't to her liking right now and that makes her quite an annoying person to be around.
Told her that she needs to lighten up a bit.
She actually made me quite mad on Friday when she questioned my parents lifestyle and choices. They has, according to her, no careers and are by her definitions failures... Sad, very sad. My parents focused on having a happy life together and a family not working their asses off.

Was thinking about what motivates me. I really don't know. Having fun, seeing my friends being happy, having cool plans to look forward to, obviously shopping for cool stuff... and so many other things.

Do surround yourself with people who wants good things for you.
Do surround yourself with beautiful things.
Do indulge yourself with things you don't need but want.
Do have at least one good laugh a day.
Do wear great shoes and bags.
Do eat good food and drink good wine.
Do listen to music that affects you.
Do take care of your friends.
Do enjoy the small things in life: the beautiful sky, the sun in your face, the smell just after the rain.
Do sleep enough
Do tell people around you that you love them, you never know when you'll get a second chance.
Do respect other and they'll respect you
Don't be bothered with things you cannot change.
Do change the things you can

Better get to bed now.
Take care

PRIDE

Well, not gay and proud but straight and proud :)
Proud of myself, my friends, my life and the choices I've made - some good ones and some bad ones. But everything I've done in my life this far made me the person I am today and that is a person I like and I wish all the best...

Finally cleared things with J yesterday and he seemed very cool about it. No more unfinished business and that's good. Have now put all that behind me and am ready to move on. Not that I regret anything. J is a great guy and we've had a lot of fun toghether. And I'll always remeber him fondly (very mature I must say :))

So yesterday I went to Berns for AW with H. Not so many people I know there but we had a great time as usual with some roséwine. Then off to Rio with MT, P and P and a few others. Danced with some halfnaked lithuanian underwearmodels - had a great view over very well toned abs ;)
Got home at a quite decent hour 1.30ish and off to bed. Today it's running again. Have signed up for Bellmanstafetten - why, God why?!?! So now I need to put my money where my mouth is...

Then is the Prideparade! Love that event - 100% love and gala. Apparently some fascist or whatever are going to do something so this year it's even more important to be there.

H and me and sis are going.

Better hit the shower and get into my running gear.

At 3 I'll be somewhere on Skeppsbron maybe I see you there :)

Have a PRIDEday!

III Be proud and work on those abs ;)

An evening with T

can save any bad day :)

Didn't get a chance to talk to coworker M yesterday so I hope I'll get the opportunity today.
This morning he has been all over me again about a document that is totally out of my control.
I'm depending on others for answers and until I get them there is nothing I can do!

T called just as I was leaving work yesterday and we decided to met at the stairs at Dramaten. Went back to my place and picked up some food and rented a dvd, Closer 3,5/5 on the way home.

He cooked and I watched - just the way I like it ;) Had some wine with dinner and just talked. Can't believe how easy it is to talk to him. Told him about my family and all the expectations they have had on both me and my sister. He told me about his family and childhood, it felt very nice. Then hopped into the bathtub with a GT and then back to the couch to watch the film. I really enjoyed it and he fell asleep :)

Borrowed his Ipod and had a Lenny Kravitz-moment. He is so great (Lenny that is but T is pretty damn good too)! Reminded me of the concert so I had a big smile on my face.
Went to bed and fell asleep almost immediately - totally relaxed from the bath and his arms around me. God, I sound like such a romantic whimp but it felt very very good...

Woke up from the sun in my face this morgning and felt really good. Had breakfast together and off to work. I had a phoneconference at 9 so there was no time for sleeping in.

Saw a poster in the subway about a tango and flamencoshow that I would love to see, it's at Dansens Hus and some other places in town. On Saturday we are going to the V&Smuseum to see an exhibition about wine and food. Will keep a low key on Saturday - just dinner and a movie again.

Friday me, H and MT might be going to Rio for a crazy night with my gay posse. Will be so much fun! Last time I was there Gonzo and I ended up dancing like nuts to schlagers with some incredibly cute gay guys.

Will get myself together and call J today - shit! Must really get it over with now. If I do I will reward myself with a new pair of pants :)

Better get on with my work now

Take care/E

New and improved baby

IPod today :)
Updated with my all-time favourite Prince, bootyshaking Ricky and smoothsinging George. Had a nice walk to work this morning and a nice run last night. Ran for about 35 mins nonstop and pretty fast. Was absolutely beat once I stopped but I guess that is the point....

Had the doctors appointment this morning. Good to get it over with and finally decide what to do. God, what a mess I'm in right now.

Office-M is back today which ruined my whole day. Will bitch about this with Gonzo today. And today I must bring it up with him. His behaviour is not acceptable. Will talk to K about it first...

She has hooked me up with VR to write bookreviews - really cool. She'll stop by the office sometime this week with the books I'm to read. Today I'll pick up an issue of the magazine and check it out. Haven't read that paper since I was 16 or so. Oh, I actually got some issues when I did the booty-shots last year :)

Hopefully I'll see lovely T tonight. He is totally supportive but the decision is mine to make.

Saw that J has linked to my blog so I must return the favor: do visit J and say 'hi'

Lovely and soon-to-be-married HvM has her own "bride blogg"in Swedish but really fun. She'll be a fab bride. Wish her and M all the best :)

This weekend I shall invited the HC-ladies to cocktails and some catching up on Friday. Must be somewhere classy and cool. Must think about this today.

Have a lot of stuff to do today but absolutely no inspiration to work... as usual :)

Decided to change my song of the day to Commandment of the day

So the first one is:
I) Do indulge yourself because you're worth it :)

Newfound friends...

made me happy this morning: I found my cd's that I thought were MIA :) So tonight I'll update my baby Ipod with Depeche, Prince and ever smoothsinging George Michael.

Had sis over for dinner and a few glasses of wine yesterday. She had been on a date on Sunday and they went to Clarion, so did me and H but we never met. The service was really bad there - I hate that. The bartender is totally hot but good looks don't really help when it takes 20 mns to pour one lousy glass of rosé. Had I done that when I was working they would have kicked me out on my booty...
Talked to sis about money and clothes. I realized that sometimes I wear clothes for about 5000 sek... No wonder I have no money :) But like I use to say: If I'm going bankcrupt I look damn fine doing it.

Got the nails I needed from dad so soon my walls will be covered with bling, will look very nice I think on my white walls.

Met with A on Sunday too and got some really upsetting news from him. I totally have myself to blame for this but still... Need to talk to J so I think I'm meeting with him this afternoon.

Was dreaming about T all day yesterday and all night last night. Love his smile and his eyes. I don't however love the fact that he has left his toothbrush at my place... I don't really know what we are or are becoming but I like it :) and I like him...
Will call him today and see if we can go to the movies tomorrow. I'd like to see "War of the Worlds".

My co-worker Alex came back today. His brother, Robin, died this summer.
Robin was only 18 years old. Apparently he was at a friends place watching a movie and just hanging out. He said he felt a bit dizzy and just 5 mns later he was dead... They still don't know what happened. I feel so sorry for him!

Makes you think, doesn't it?!?! How everything can just end and all the plans you've made just change in one moment. Alex is only 22 but he had to grow up fast...

If I get the chance tomorrow I'm going to speak to my coworker Martin about his attitude towards my work. I mean what is the point of asking me to do something only so he can tell me it's wrong and redo it himself. Maybe it's his insecurity issues and he feels like he needs to "put me in my place" to feel like a greater person... I don't know but it's totally unaccepable. He is very much the type My-way or-the-highway wich is sad but very common.
Or maybe he just has a small dick (God I'm so nasty ;))

Anymay, need to do some updates now...

Take care

Song of the day: Ghetto Religion - R Kelly feat Wyclef Jean

Total

confusion!
Haven't updated in a while due to no internetconncetion yet... and the neighbour have installed a firewall. Cheap b*stards ;)

So what's new???

Thursday was the date-with- Tommy-day. And my God, he is gorgeous! I was really tired and intened to try to get out of the date. He called me and suggested that we should go to some pub and have a beer... Uuuhmmm I don't think so. Eventually we dicided to met at Fridhemsplan at take it from there.
I was first and while I waited I started talking to a dutch guy who was also waiting for someone. So Tommy appears and he is oh so fine :) We went to a place I have never been before Dova's... Strange place but very cheap but great service and ok food. I have paid 3 time as much for worse food than that.

Sat there talking to eachother and a Romanian guy who sat down at our table. Went back to my place and spent a great night and morning together. Good thing I had Friday off....

Gonzo and I were ladies who lunch on Friday. Had a decent Ceasarsallad and rosé at MS Gerda.
Then met up with Hannah to pick up movietickets for the evening.

Had coffe and cake at Gateau and then off to BOB to met up with the rest of the posse. Had some food and wine and then to the movies. We saw Fantastic 4 (1,5/5). Then we stopped for a nightcap at Oxid before heading home.

Got up on Saturday to clean the apartment. It smelled like rug....
Then Hannah and myself were ladies who sweat jogging around Hagaparken. Called T when I came home and he came around later for dinner and a movie. Saw "Maria full of grace" (4/5), really great!

He is so sweet. Am apparently not used to a guy calling when he says he will call and takes care of me. When we where walking home on Thursday and was carrying some stuff which he took in his bag. Sunday morning he got up and made breakfast and did the dishes from dinner the night before. Good God, Hannah says he is a keeper :) and I tend to agree with her... Hope things work out for the best.

Got the sweetest and most amazing comment from my girl Gonzo. She added some stuff to my 500-list.

Now I need to at least seem like I'm working....

Take care
