Have had a lump in my throat all day today. A dear friend of mine lost her mother last night. She wrote the most amazingly beautiful email to all of us. I know she'll be fine, she is a lot stronger than she knows but it's still so sad.
I, on the other hand, made my second modeling appearance today, as a man actually :) It's for a medical magazine - they are going to show how hard it is to tell the difference between women and men. The photographer told me I looked like a gangster rapper. I know he meant it in a good way.
It was really fun! And I made some money which I obviously spent almost immediately (I did mention that I have some shopping issues, didn't I?!?!) on warmer winter boots. Winter is back in Stockholm and with a vengeance...it's absolutely freezing, windy and the snow is now falling sideways. Hate that!
Had lunch with Dr C on Wednesday. We went to this Lebanese restaurant and he got sick as we where leaving... We had a nice time during lunch though and at moments like these I can't imagine being without him...
I hope I won't have to....

Meet the parents...
Spent Friday at Locanda with M. She always calls when she needs something and this time she wanted to know why she and her boyfriend wasn't invited to the birthday party on Saturday night. It's not my party so how would I know. Oscar isn't the most focused person so I think he just sent out some random invitations and hoped world would be passed around. I told her she was most probably welcome to come but they ended up not going...
The restaurant was ok, the service was extremely slow. I mean it is not ok for it to take an hour from finishing the maincourse until asked if we wanted to order dessert... The food was ok but the portions were quite small. They do, however, have a very large selections of drinks so if I go back it'll be for the drinks not the food.
Saturday was Oscars party. It was nice but some of his friends are really strange. They have quite... Liberal opinions about most things and we don't always see eye to eye.
It was cool to see Ylva and Fredrik there, especially since they are about to have another baby. According to the doctor the baby was supposed to come on Saturday...
I left early to go and see Dr C. He was away all day Saturday playing a volleyball game. We spent the evening watching a horrible series, something about a serial killer who killed women by leaving spiders in their beds... Horrible and it gave me nightmares.
Sunday we got up quite late and I was trying to solve a Sudoku, you know one of those puzzles with numbers in them. They are quite addictive :)
So suddenly he tells me that his parents are coming over. They have been to IKEA and are dropping of some stuff. Apparently it was a bit more than that. His brother was turning 30 and his parents were coming over for dinner and birthday cake. If he had told me that I would have left... But no, there I am in the same clothes as the day before, no make up and his mum walks in...I don't think she was very impressed! His parents seems nice though and his brother is really cool. We had dinner, quite awkward I must admit. And then we build a dresser and two bookshelf he bought.
After they left we cleaned the place (or he cleaned and I was working on that d*mn sudoku) and then off to bed.
All and all, the weekend was nice. No Talk but like HappyButterfly said; I'm not sure if I'm ready for the answer. And like they say: If you don't want to know - don't ask :)
I'll just go with the flow and see where it takes me...
Take care!

All made up
Went to MAC yesterday for a make up event. It was really nice to meet all of the Beautyqueen again, some old friend and some new ones.
(Beautyqueen VIP is one of the Shortcut best clubs. Have actually met some of my dearest friends through Shortcut).
Anyway, my makeup theme was all about fab glam and color. The make upartist worked with blue, purple and black. I was very happy with the result so I ended up buying most of the eyeshadows she used on me. "If I want it, I need it" ;)
Stepbro's mum got me an Andrea Bocelli cd for Christmas. I don't mind Andrea Bocelli but it's not really my type of music so I changed it yesterday and got Mary J Blige - The Breakthrough instead. It's really great and she is so fab.
This week has been all about work. Met with Peder, my mentor, on Tuesday. I took him out for lunch and he has new great ideas for me that I'm looking into. Then I've spent most of the time around the house writing my business plan and updating my cv. I tend to spend a lot of time on layout and ...less time on contence. Must do something about that....
Wednesday I got a surprise call from a friend I haven't seen in ages. It was an nice surprise so we are going out for dinner tonight. I can't help wondering what she wants. She is the type of person that only calls when she needs something from you. And she is an expert in forgetting favors rendered.....Well, will be interesting too see what's up.
This is part of the reason why we really haven't seen eachother in a while. I got sick of helping her out and never getting anything in return. She and her boyfriend are experts in complaining about what other people do and don't but that they should arrange something or invite people over.... would never happen.
Anyway, we are trying this new restaurant tonight that has gotten great reviews, Locanda. I'll get back to you on the restaurant.
Tomorrow Oscar is having his 35th birthdayparty. So today I must find a nice gift for him. He likes warhistory and fantasybooks. I thought I'd pick up a dvd of a book for him.
Oh, my new lamp is up. After a few attempts I got it up. It's just one small problem. If someone really tall comes over like Dr C, they will hit their head. I can barely walk under the lamp and I'm only 1m69cm.... But I like the lamp and the light in my apartment is som much better than before :)
No Talk updates to report. Haven't seen Dr C this week since we both have been busy in the evenings. But next time I see him I'll get some wine in me to work up a nerve and bring it up.
Ok, better get on with everything now.
Take care

A Dr C-weekend :)
Spent almost all weekend with Dr C.
Friday me and sis were supposed to got to NK and their annual sale but when we got there and saw the queue going all around the block we decided not to....
Instead we met up with Henrik and went to an art exhibition (Dutch painters)instead and then we had a late lunch with some wine :)
On my way home I rented 2 movies (De-Lovely and Collateral 3,5/5) when Dr C suddenly called. He was back from his skiing and was on his way to pick up some sushi. He asked if I wanted to bring the movies and come over to his place for sushi.
We had a nice time watching Collateral and eating sushi from the place on the corner. Didn't have the nerve to bring up The Talk, maybe I need to drink some wine first ;)
Saturday he had his Portuguese exam so he got up at 7.30 which is crazy in a Saturday. Sent me a textmessage asking if we could have lunch after he was done.
I went home to change clothes and shower and went back into town for lunch. He wanted carpaccio so we went to this Italian place. It was by far the worst food I've ever had!! And to make matters worse the actually charged extra for the clothes check. I really hate when they do that at restaurants. I mean I pay enough for the food and wine and then I have to pay to leave my jacket. AND they don't even give you the choice.... it's mandatory!
After lunch we took a walk around town, I had to pick up some wine for the movienight at Jocke's place. Asked Dr C if he wanted to join us and he said yes. I think he had a nice time.
We went out to Jocke's, he lives quite far from town, and went shopping for food and then back to his place and made dinner. Or I made dinner and the guys watched me....
We watched Sin City (3/5), is was cool but a bit to much violence for me.
On Sunday we got up quite late and made brunch: pancakes, eggs and bacon. And then we watched War of the Worlds (2/5) and Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King (4,5/5) I love that movie! We had a late dinner and then he went home.
I do enjoy being on my own and after a whole weekend with I'm it was actually nice to be left alone. At least for a while now I miss him :)
Today I'm finally putting my new lamp up and the I'm going to write my business plan for My Own Company and then I'm going to clean my apartment. Or at least that is my plan for the day. I'll see how far I'll get :)

Exclusivity
How do you know when you're dating exclusively??
I know for a fact that Dr C is still logging on to the dating website where we met. How do I know? Well, I admit I log on to... but only because I know that he is logging on there. Logical huh?!?!
I check and if he has been online then I think it is ok for me to log on too, that is if he has been online.
I wonder if he is looking for someone else. I know for a fact that he was online today AND he is away skiing in his parents house in the mountains. So, do they have internet access in the house or did he go out of his way to find it??? If he went out of his way exactly why?? Maybe I should just end it here and now so he won't hurt me that bad. I would so miss him if we stopped seeing eachother but I do not want to hear the words "I have found someone else..." I miss him now and he is just away skiing with is family...
I suppose we should have The Talk. My best friend Carl, who is from the US, always tells me about The Talk: it's apparently after the 5th date ( that we passed months ago) you should talk about the future of the relationship and decide if you should be exclusive or date others.
We have not had The Talk yet, wonder if we ever will. We do, however, have sleepovers at least twice a week. He has met most of my friends and my parents. At New Years he was at another party but came over to our party at 4 o'clock in the morning and then we spent the night at my parents place. He stayed on the next day and helped us clean up the place.
A thought just struck me: maybe he is checking the website to see if I still log on... Just takes a little work and you can check without actually having to log on.
Shit, I supposed I need to bring this up but I don't know how, where and when. The best way might be over dinner after some wine at my place so if he dumps me I won't need to get on the subway home.
Oh yes, I love exploring the more paranoid side of myself.
Well, if dumps me I will always remember him fondly *not*

A pleasant start
of 2006. The party on New years was great! We got started with all the shopping around lunch. Then back to my parents place to cook. I got out of the shower at 7.45 pm and the first guests arrived at 8. The food was very nice. We had two different smoked salmon sandwiched, two pie (minced meat and vegetables) and mushroomsoup. And also ton and tons of booze ;) After all the theme was "Cocktails"...
And midnight we went outside to check out the fireworks and then we walzed, it's a silly tradition we have. I really don't know how it started but we always walz just after midnight on New years...
Dr C arrive at 4 am when most people already left but he and I stayed up till 5 and then we went to bed too. He helped clean the house the next day - so now he has met my parents for real.
Later sis, Dr C, myself and 2 other friends went to the movies and saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I'd give it a 3/5. Spent the night at Dr C's place. I like him :)
Today I've done everything but the one thing I should do... I've rearranged my closet, cleaned the kitchen and some laundry so tomorrow there are no excuses. I have to start writing a proposal for a fashion show and seriously look for a new part time job. I'm thinking about waitressing again. The downside with the restaurant business is the workhours... mostly at night. But it's fun... well I'll think about it.
One cool thing is that I've sent my first invoice :) Should have the money by the end of this week.
I've mailed Peder, my mentor, and invited him for lunch on me as a thank you for all his help.
Saturday we are having a movienight at Jocke's place. Could be fun, he has apparently a whole bunch of new dvds that I haven't seen.
So, tomorrow I'll be the focused business woman I have to be. Or at least I'll try. "Fake it 'till you make it"
Take care!

A good 2006
for us all!
Had a few very relaxing days between Christmas and New Years. But now I'm back in business... am having a big cocktailparty on New Year Eve and everything has to work out.
Today Gosta, Vitalija, Oscar and myself went to Systembolaget to pick up the booze. We got quite a lot so I hope it'll be enough...
New Year is by tradition the party holiday for me and my friends. So I hope we can live up to their expectations once more. Last new years was great :)
Spent some night with Dr C, he came over tonight and we went out for pizza. We are not spending New Years together since he had made plans with a friend before he got my invitation. Too bad but I'll be surrounded by great people anyway. He said he might stop by later but I don't think so...
Tonight I got some disturbing news about a person who is important to me. I know there are two sides to every story but in this case I don't really see that there is. I will however check it out but if the truth is anywhere near what I've heard... well then I will have to change my opinion about someone and to the worse.
So, I suppose I should get to bed now so I won't have bags under my New Years eyes tomorrow ;)
Take care and have a great night tomorrow and an even greater 2006 with lots f champagne and laughters!
Love/E

VIP's of 2005
According to Time magazine the most important persons of 2005 were Bono and Bill Gates and his wife.
Bono is for 2005 what Bob Geldof were for the 1980's. Being the influential person that he is he has used his influence in a great way. Making people aware of what is going on in the world today: famine, HIV and poverty. I do give money to the MSF since I think they are really doing a great job where it is needed not just in the places we read about in the papers.
Today it has been one year since the big Tsunami in Thailand and Indonesia. There where lots of Swedish people who traveled to Khao Lak, where the most Swedes where killed, for a memorial. Now, don't get me wrong it was a huge disaster and many people lost loved ones. But people die everyday. 225 000 where killed in the Tsunami, one month later another 225 000 in the 3rd world had died but from famine, HIV and other diseases.... where are the memorial services for them???
It has also been one year since my grandfather died. Tonight I'll play a game of chess in his memory. He taught me to play chess when I was 6 and poker when I was 8.
Who are my VIP's of the year?
Obviously my sis - we've had some great times this year. I stayed with her from beginning of May to beginning of June. Can't believe she put up with me :)
My girl Gonzo - for all the drinks (and hangovers ;)) and the positive energy and inspiration.
I would not be as divalicious as I am if it wasn't for her.
Joachim - seriously, he is a great guy and he has helped me a lot with all sorts of things. And regardless of what has happened between us he is important to me.
Last but not least Dr C - started with a cup of coffee and who knows where it will end ;)
Take care

Shopping and shopping...
Sometime I just love myself! I finally came up with a lovely Christmasgift for mum and dad. I'm giving them movietickets and a large box of candy. Damn, I'm good :)
And with that all my gifts are bought and wrapped!!
Figured out what to get Dr C also. I gave him an icecrusher and a books called Margaritha rocks. He loves his margarithas...
Now, it turned out to be a housewarming/Christmas present and he liked it. I'm glad.
He is sweet but quite odd sometimes. I was over at his place on Tuesday and he was trying to get his computer running. I mean it's not that I mind that he is doing something else but lately we have been like friends occasionally sleeping in the same bed...
He is not like the guys I'm used to which is a good thing sometimes and a bad thing sometimes. When I was dating Tommy we hardly made it out of bed. The only time Dr C and I are in bed is when we are sleeping. Maybe he doesn't like sex?!?! But how could he not...
Tonight I'm going over to Tanja's for our annual Christmas games. Everyone gets some gifts for about 5 euros and then we gather them all on a table and start rolling a dice. When you get a 1 or a 6 you can take a gift. Eventually we will start taking gifts from eachother and we play for 20 mns. When the time is up some can actually have all the gifts and someone might be without. It actually more fun than it sounds...During the game we also try to sink as much wine as possible ;)
The plans for New Years are also set. We are having cocktails and smorrebrod. Should be fun since we have expanded the "party circle" this year. I think it'll be up to 30 people.
Now I've got to start packing up my gifts and get my divalicious self on the road :)
Have a great Christmas and take care or yourself and the ones you love!

And with that all my gifts are bought and wrapped!!
Figured out what to get Dr C also. I gave him an icecrusher and a books called Margaritha rocks. He loves his margarithas...
Now, it turned out to be a housewarming/Christmas present and he liked it. I'm glad.
He is sweet but quite odd sometimes. I was over at his place on Tuesday and he was trying to get his computer running. I mean it's not that I mind that he is doing something else but lately we have been like friends occasionally sleeping in the same bed...
He is not like the guys I'm used to which is a good thing sometimes and a bad thing sometimes. When I was dating Tommy we hardly made it out of bed. The only time Dr C and I are in bed is when we are sleeping. Maybe he doesn't like sex?!?! But how could he not...
Tonight I'm going over to Tanja's for our annual Christmas games. Everyone gets some gifts for about 5 euros and then we gather them all on a table and start rolling a dice. When you get a 1 or a 6 you can take a gift. Eventually we will start taking gifts from eachother and we play for 20 mns. When the time is up some can actually have all the gifts and someone might be without. It actually more fun than it sounds...During the game we also try to sink as much wine as possible ;)
The plans for New Years are also set. We are having cocktails and smorrebrod. Should be fun since we have expanded the "party circle" this year. I think it'll be up to 30 people.
Now I've got to start packing up my gifts and get my divalicious self on the road :)
Have a great Christmas and take care or yourself and the ones you love!

In my dreams...
I know it's always dull to talk about your dreams but I had the strangest dream some nights ago.
I dreamt that I had been kidnapped by terrorists (probably from watching Jack Bauer in 24). I and some other people were locked up in a quite nice house actually, there where cameras everywhere so we were under constant surveillance. All the others where trying to figure out a way to get out.... I was complaining about the food and that there was not enough champagne! I have always considered myself being quite brave and enterprising but apparently I'm more of a luxury loving selfish b*tch. Just before I woke up I was, in my dreams, writing a list of stuff that I wanted my kidnappers to get me, such as fresh tuna, champagne and truffles...
I always thought that if something happened to me I would fight, be brave and cunning like Jack Bauer but I would probably do a "Patty Hearst" and just go with the flow...
Oh well, hopefully I won't ever be kidnapped so I'll never have to find out :)
Yesterday we had the Christmas dinner. The food was ok, no more no less. We did the whole secret Santa thing and Jocke gave me a really nice champagne from St Petersburg. Am looking forward to trying it. We decided to have a movie night at his place sometime during Christmas. Movie night at Jocke's is usually tons of films, food and serious boozing. According to tradition we start at around 2 o'clock with Margarithas or Bloody Mary and from there it's just downhill ;)
Have been working a lot these last couple of days so today will be all about resting. Dr C called just as I came home last night at around 2 am. He was in his new apartment, am looking forward to seeing it. I was half asleep when he called so I think I told him about my dream. He probably thinks I'm crazy now :)
Tomorrow is probably the last day at Huvudsta, at least for the Christmas season so I'll have a couple of days to get my last presents.
Need to get something for mum, dad and most importantly Dr C....
Today it's freezing cold so I can wear my pimp-fur :)
Take care

The Model in me...
Did my first (and only) modeling appearance yesterday. It's for the ToppHalsa magazine. I had such a good time considering the fact that I hate having my picture taken. They took about 70 pics and ended up choosing 3, one for the actual article, one for the cover and one more.
I'll get about 5 pictures on a cd sometime in January :)
Today I'm happy: finally found my favorite film and ordered it. It arrived today: Priscilla - queen of the desert. If you haven't seen it yet you MUST!!! I also ordered the ultimate chick-flick "Beaches". I cry every time I watch it but I love it.
Tonight it's the Champagnetasting. Have decide to take the train and the a cab from the station. Seriously, I won't carry 8 bottles of champagne and arrive in a total sweaty mess...
Talked to Dr C last night. He suggested that I should ask his brother to take me to the champagnetasting...Uuuhm no, it might seem at bit weird if I were to call his brother - who I've met twice - and ask him for a ride.
Anyway, Dr C is supposed to move today. He hasn't really packed anything yet and he has no furniture besides a bed in his new place...Sounds a bit like me when I moved to Nykoping two years ago. In my case I think it was my subconscious telling me not to go...
So, I have suddenly realized that I'm really not single anymore. Yesterday, at the photoshoot (I like saying that ;)) I referred to Dr C as my boyfriend and I didn't feel strange about it - very nice. Maybe I should tell him this...
I'm still wondering what to get him for Christmas. I know he enjoys going to the theatre so I could get him tickets, either to the theatre or perhaps the opera. We could make an evening of it and go out for dinner afterwards.
Actually sis asked me, last time we met, what I wanted for Christmas and Dr C was sitting next to me listening... I don't think she did it intentionally it's just that she knows I'm quite picky...
Picked up some new makeup stuff from Nouba yesterday. I think I'll use it tonight.
I hope the tasting won't be dragging out into late evening. I'm supposed to go over to Dr C's afterwards if it's not too late and I really miss seeing him.
And I'm working tomorrow, from 11.30 am to 1 pm - great, really great *not*.
Ok, now I have to catch up on my reading a bit so I come off as a very well educated sommelier...
Have a nice day and take care

A total black-out!!
Yesterday as I was trying to pick out what to wear for Dan's and Stefan's party everything went black. Totally black!! Apparently there was a huge power failure that affect all of the northwestern parts of Stockholm... So I started lighting some candles. I'm really afraid of the dark so it wasn't all that fun. I tried to use the phone - it was dead, my cellphone was also out so I could call anyone. This is what I've always been saying... if you want to invade a country don't send the army - send some technician who can take over the electricity and water supply and you're done....
Sending textmessages worked so suddenly I got a mess from Dr C asking where I was. Answered that I was home in total darkness. Ended up packing up some clothes, make up and stuff and went over to his place to change.
The party started at 8 but we got there at about 9 since he is even slower than me when it comes to picking clothes...Quite funny but it can be annoying too. Now I know what people are going through when they are waiting for me.
Picked up two glossy magazines for the guys: computer mag for Dan and interior decorating for Stefan. They seemed to like them.
The party was quite nice, a lot of people I don't know but Dr C and I ended up with sis and some friends at a table and had some really good laughs.
Gonzo called and asked where I was... I had totally forgotten about Jessicas party. There where all girls and they seemed totally drunk... I didn't feel neither glamorous nor fab so I never went.
(Just now there was a fab Italian swimmer on TV strutting his stuff ;))
I actually did what I hate when others do... stood up my girls for a man! I'll try to not make it happen again!!
What shall I get Dr C for Christmas??? He is moving on Wednesday and he needs tons of stuff for the new apartment like wineglasses, ordinary glasses, plates etc etc... It seems kind of unpersonal to get him something like that but it's taking the easiest way out. Well I'm gonna think about that for a while. I still have a few weeks to figure it out.
Just realized that Christmas is 10 days away...
Am spending Christmas at mom and dads which means no broadband internet access and no cable. I know Christmas is all about spending time with your loved ones but seriously...I need my entertainment!
Next Saturday it's the Christmas dinner with my friends. Should be really nice. Dr C plays his last volleyballgame that day so I might hook up with him afterwards.
He is really nice, not what I would describe as "my type". I usually go for the more macho type but still. I really really like him :)
Would love to see the movie " Just like heaven". It's probably a total chick-flick and I'll probably cry but I think its great.
No more from psycho-girl who thinks I want her man! Maybe she finally got it and dropped it. I hope so. I can't be bothered with other peoples lifes and troubles, I do have enough with my own life.
Ok, better get something to eat now

A day off
today :) Will be enjoyable. Right now I'm watching reruns of Falcon Crest - the coolest of all the 80's soaps.
Been working every night this week so it's nice to be able to rest my feet. Worked late last night again.
But managed to squeeze in a very nice lunch with Dr C. We went to one of the big market halls in town and had fish. He had soup and I had fried fish.
He has to buy some new clothes for work, apparently their dresscode is quite strict. Could be quite fun, we had a great time last time we went shopping. Or at least I had a great time. I shoved him into a fitting room and forced him to try on everything I picked out for him :)
Tomorrow we are going to a Gloegg-party at Dan's & Stefan's place. All my friends will be there I think so Dr C will be watched and judged ;)
On Monday Joachim is helping me with the d*mn shelf. Hopefully we will get it up and it will stay up.
I'm putting it over my bed so I keep my fingers crossed that it won't fall down...
Now I should clean my apartment, do the dishes and write some stuff for the champagnetasting on Wednesday... or I'll watch an episode of SATC to get in a good mood :)
Have a great day

Heaven help
me!!
What is wrong with people??!?!
Yesterday I got some really...how shall I say... unexpected information.
Apparently someone thinks I'm after her man. NO!! The only man I'm interested in is Dr C. There, you have it in writing. Now let it go and get on with your life!
Seriously, if I thought someone was after my man I would bring it up with him not the the other woman. Grow up!!
So, got that out of my system...
Had a nice lunch with Gonzo today. First we stopped by STUK, one of my favorite shops. They have the most amazing pants. I didn't buy anything today. Christmas is coming up so I must stop shopping for myself and start with the Christmas presents for my family and friends.
Talked to Dr C yesterday. He is sweet and fun. He is moving next week and hasn't started packing yet...He had some second thoughts about the apartment he has bought. I haven't seen it yet but it sounds like it's nice. It has an open fireplace :) I can really see myself in front of it drinking wine and reading a good book....
tomorrow is the big Photoshoot. Am really looking forward to it :) The theme is Divas - so they are hooking me up with clothes, shoes and everything.
Oh just remembered I have to do my toenails since I'm going to be barefoot in one of the pics.
Better get on with my writing now. Trying to finish my projectplan for Peder...
Take care

Lazy Sundaynight
Had a great weekend...again. I keep repeating that but it's a good thing to repeat...:)
Friday night Dr C and I had dinner at Texas Steakhouse. They have the greatest meat but leaving the place everything smells like grilled meat since they have an open grill in the middle of the restaurant. We got there at about 8 and had a Margaritha while we waited for a table. Then with dinner more Margaritas and after dinner we ordered a pitcher - seemed like a good idea at the time ;)
We went back to my place and I fell asleep with my clothes on... not very classy but Dr C wasn't all that either.
Saturday we had brunch with bacon, eggs and toast at my place and then I went to my parents place for the champagnetasting. I stopped by Systembolaget to pick up the champagne.
The tasting went very well and I stayed for dinner.
Dr C sent a textmessage asking if I wanted to join him at a friends birthdayparty. I went and we had a nice time. He can actually salsa, didn't think he was the dancing type but we had a great time. Went back to his place since we were in the neighborhood.
Sunday sis' choir had a concert that was really nice. They performed a piece by Benjamin Britten. Afterwards me, sis, mum and dad went for dinner in an Italian restaurant - quite nice.
My liver is not doing well after this weekend... Had huge amounts of Margarithas on Friday, Saturday it was the champagnetasting (no I didn't spit ;)) and then the birthdayparty with some more wine and just to give the weekend a nice ending I'm having a glass of wine as I'm writing this....
Next week will be all about healthy food and training.
Oh the coolest thing: I'm going to be in a magazine. Gonzo hooked me up with the magazine TopHalsa because they are writing about women with hairextensions. They have already done the interview over the phone so on Tuesday I'm going to have some photos taken. Will be great, I'm getting the make up, the styling and the works. They want a DIVA-style...
Am so looking forward to this!
Tonight Dr C is playing a volleyboygame. I'll call him later to see how it went.
I'm wondering about Christmas and New Years. Should I get him a Christmasgift or should we spend New Years together?!?! I'd like to but I'm not sure what he has planned...
I know: we should talk about it but I don't want to seem to eager...Shit!!
I'll make a decision tomorrow...
Take care

Working girl pt II
Have now worked for a while it has been fun but a lot of work.
The good thing about being a waitress is that I get to do a lot of walking hence I'm training :)
Lately I have been catching up on a lot of things. I have updated my CV, met with Peder (my mentor) who helps me out with My Own Company. All I need now is a name, it has to be cool, catchy and yet quite exclusive...
Jessica, a friend of mine in Gothenburg, is leaving for Tanzania in January. She will do some volunteer work, starting up a computer education among other things. I truly admire that. If I wasn't so lazy I would go too. Now I just give money and hope that they come to good use.
The d*mn shelf is not up yet. I've been drilling for hours and all I have to show for it are four more or less ugly holes in my wall. Joachim has promised to help me out. It's not that I don't appreciate his help I just wish I'd been able to manage on my own. Oh well, at least I tried and it's no point being an idiot about it. You must always know when to quit, right?!?!
Ran into Dr C downtown when I was out shopping for Christmasgift on Tuesday. Haven't seen him since then but he called yesterday and I believe he will take me to dinner tonight. It will be nice to sit down and eat while others are waiting on me :)
Was supposed to buy gifts for others but ended up getting a fakefurcoat for myself. Oh, I did get a book about fashion for sis. On the 17th I'm gathering all my friends for our annual Christmasdinner. Everyone is supposed to bring a gift worth about 5 euros/50 sek, kind of a "Secret Santa"-thing. I'm buying something Henrik so I got him a very cool mug.
Today I'm not working, will give me time to rest my feet and clean my place and do some laundry.
Tomorrow I'm holding a champagnetasting for my mum and some of her friends. It will be very basic since they don't really drink that much champagne. My parents are more into different types of red wine.
Sunday I do think Dr C should make me brunch. I'll suggest this to him later :)
Well take care

Round and round and round
Spent the day trying to get the cool shelf up. Now the drill is broken...There has to be some sort of metal behind the wall... What do I do now??? I have 4 holes in the wall and it looks like shit!!!
Sunday Dr C and me went to a christmasconcert with sis' choir. Was really nice even for a cynic like me :) He has now met my family, very briefly but still..
There were two concerts one at 4 and one at 6. I figured my parents would go to the one at 4 but oh no... they came at 6.. So he was introduced to them and since mum havenät called yelling I guess he passed the test :)
Afterwards we went home to his place and watched a movie and went to sleep.
Saturday I had the girls and Per over for cheese and wine. We had, as always, a really nice time. Gonzo came by a bit early so we could catch up a bit.
We had some really nice talks and good laughs. They left at around 1 and I stayed up cleaning a bit to sober up ;)
Friday I stayed in. Wonder if I'm getting old when it's ok to stay in on a Friday night?!?!
It's really unfair isn't it?? When I was younger I could easily party 3 night in a row and still be fab but then I had no money to spend. Now when I have money to spend I don't have the energy to party like I used to...
Gonzo has hooked me up with a journalist who is writing an article about hair extensions so she inteviewed me today over the phone. In two weeks I'm going to have my picture taken. I'm getting make up and styling too. Should be nice.
Today is the first real winters day. It's all snowy and white outside. A perfect day for a snowball fight...
Well, I have to get back to my drilling now. Damn! I didn't know it would be so hard... I need some help...wonder if Dr C is good at these things?!???
Take care!

Afterwards we went home to his place and watched a movie and went to sleep.
Saturday I had the girls and Per over for cheese and wine. We had, as always, a really nice time. Gonzo came by a bit early so we could catch up a bit.
We had some really nice talks and good laughs. They left at around 1 and I stayed up cleaning a bit to sober up ;)
Friday I stayed in. Wonder if I'm getting old when it's ok to stay in on a Friday night?!?!
It's really unfair isn't it?? When I was younger I could easily party 3 night in a row and still be fab but then I had no money to spend. Now when I have money to spend I don't have the energy to party like I used to...
Gonzo has hooked me up with a journalist who is writing an article about hair extensions so she inteviewed me today over the phone. In two weeks I'm going to have my picture taken. I'm getting make up and styling too. Should be nice.
Today is the first real winters day. It's all snowy and white outside. A perfect day for a snowball fight...
Well, I have to get back to my drilling now. Damn! I didn't know it would be so hard... I need some help...wonder if Dr C is good at these things?!???
Take care!

Wild wild west
What are we doing??!?!
Saw the wonderful film "The Constant Gardener" with Dr C yesterday. If half of it is true I must say I am chocked and apauled by what the western world is doing.
The plot is this:
An English diplomat's wife is found murdered and as he digs deeper into the case he finds out that she has been investigating a large medical company and what they do in Africa.
They give away useless medication to the Africans and use them as guinea pigs to test a new TBC-drug. Basically they claim to give them HIVmedicine but it is all a huge test of new unapproved drugs.
My god, not only was I struck by my usual adopted-child guilt but also did I feel guilty about not knowing this...My problems revolve around stuff like: oh no, it's raining today and I need to go and pick up some wine for my dinner party tomorrow or do I have enough money to buy both new pants and new boots...
I do however give money to the MSF and I do believe it comes to good use.

Both a sinner and a saint
Had a nice breakfast in my new kitchen this morning. What bugs me is that I can't get the new lamp up... I apparently need an electrician.
Yesterday I had lunch with AnnaT and we started talking about men and dating.
She is at the moment "dating" a guy who lives in Malmoe. They have never met but they seem to really like each other and they match in every way. She is going there next week to visit and is of course all excited about that.
They met through an online dating site too, just like me and Dr C. We started talking about why it is so hard to say no when you feel uncomfortable about someone or something.
For example: my date with Platinum Man. We had a nice time during dinner and went on for drinks. Had a lot to talk about but there was no spark... no mutual interest.
Anyway, I let him spend the night at my place and he crawled into my bed.
I was not comfortable but still I didn't say anything...why???
Dr C is coming over for dinner tonight, should be nice. He is very... innocent, very "unkissed" as Anna said. At her party a couple of weeks ago he got totally embarrassed when he accidently kissed her on the mouth instead of the cheek...
Some of my friends, and me too for that matter, are very outspoken when it comes to sex.
We make jokes, talk about most things people do in bed (or where ever they choose to do it).
At the party on Saturday we started a conversation about S/M... Looking back I'm quite glad that Dr C wasn't there... I'm not sure I'm ready for him to see that side of me and I'm not sure if he will like that side of me. What do I do if he doesn't??
Talked on the phone today and he has bought an apartment :) That's nice! And it has a fireplace.
Ok, better get going to the store now. Have to pick up some food since I've promised him dinner tonight...

New kitchen...
Bought new lamp, a new kitchen table and 6 chairs yesterday. Was lucky enough to find it at the first store I went to.
Got home and started putting it togheter. Went really well actually, I'm quite the handy-woman :)
Talked to Dr C yesterday and went over to his place for dinner. He made pasta, really nice actually.
Saturday was great. Had brucnh at Dr C's place - he made "real american pancakes" and bacon with eggs. I must say I prefer the Swedish thinner pancakes but it was nice. Then we went shopping. He needed some new clothes for work, they have quite a strict dresscode at his new job. I made him promise to try on anything I picked out. He tried it on, sometimes he smiled and sometimes just gave me that "I can't wear this"-look. But we had fun.
I asked him about the party but he had to cancel in the last minute since his volleyball team had a big game on Sunday. He wasn't supposed to play but some one else was injured.
The party on Saturday was great! Had the best time. Tons of laughs and dancing and meet some people I haven't seen in ages. And if I may say so myself: I looked great ;)
Got to catch up with Mats and Johan wich was great. Seeing Mats again reminded me why I feel head over heels for him last winter. If he wanted me would I go??? I don't know and I hope I won't have to find out. Dr C is a great guy. He is safe and kind and calls me when he says he will. We did met on this internet dating site, the only downside is that I know he is still online on the site. I really don't know how to bring this up. I just need to know if he is still looking for something better.. If he does I'm just wasting my time beeing with him.
I know... I know... communications is the key :)
I'll talk to him. I think he is coming over tonight to help me with the lamp so if opportunity rises I'll bring it up.
Today I cleaning my new cool kitchen and I need to plan for the cheese and wine evening on Saturday too...
Have a great day and take care

Shopoholic
Hi, my name is Elisabeth and I'm a shopoholic!
Went into town today to pick up a new phone as my homephone died on Monday... It made a strange noise as I was on the phone with Dr C and then...nothing.
So, I went to a store and found a quite nice cordless phone that I like it bought it. Decided to just take a quit check at HM since I need a skirt for the party on Saturday. Didn't find a skirt but I found the coolest fake furjacket, will work well with my winter pimpstyle.
Didn't buy the jacket afterall since it is HM... and a lot of people buy their stuff there. It would be cooler if I could find a vintage 2nd hand fur instead. Did however buy a belt, not that I need a new belt I just wanted to buy something. Is that normal?!?!
The nicest thing is that I actually have more money now when I'm unemployed then I had when I was working, since I don't go out for lunch every day now. I do however miss the social aspects of not working...
Mum called yesterday and she wants me to host a champagnetasting for her and some of her very posh friends. That's nice and she will pay me to do it. Now when I'm starting my own company I can actually get paid to do what I enjoy. Maybe I'll also offer my services as a personal shopper too :)
About Saturday and the party...I still haven't asked Dr C but he is coming over tonight so I might ask him then. The theme is "glamour and gala" so every one will be dressed to kill :)
If I don't find a new skirt or will be able to not buy a new one, I'll wear my cool Xuly Bet skirt and my gold corset.
As my blogger buddy Mark writes that the heart beats about 10 million beats per year....That's a lot and imagine having a muscle that works so hard and I'm not even aware of it... It's like a phone really, it's just there and you don't notice it until it starts to bother you...
Ok, now I'm going to try to unpack my new phone and make it work.
Take care of your heart :)

Another Monday
Had a really nice week end with Dr C :)
Friday morning, as I spent the night as his place, I got up an found his fridge quite empty... I am a breakfast-person so I do need something in the morning.
Went out to a cafe instead and called Gonzo and invited her to lunch. Had a nice lunch with some catching up. Decided to go shopping on Saturday.
Got home and found the phone ringing. It was some telesales-person. God I hate that!
Had decided to stay at home Friday night and just rent a movie. Dr C called and asked if he could join me. He was doing his Portuguese course at the university. We decided that I would met him at the videostore. After about half an hour we decided to rent Alfie with Jude Law.
We opened a bottle of wine and sat down to enjoy the movie. But, we got the wrong one! We got "Meet the Fockers" with Dustin Hoffmann and Robert DeNiro. It totally sucks!!!
So we got a bit drunk instead and he taught me to play Texas Hold'em poker :) That was fun and easier than I thought actually.
Saturday I got up with quite a "heavy head" and went in to town to meet with Gonzo for some serious shopping. I picked up a new pair of jeans, some make up and a pair of shoes :) Was a happy girl when I came home.
Later that day Dr C called to tell me that he was meeting with his brother and a friend from Chicago who lives in Stockholm. He asked me if I wanted to come along so we went out the 4 of us. His brother is nice but quite odd but the guy from Chicago was really fun.
We went to one of the posh bars down town and I ran into an ex. He was very drunk so we just chatted for a while. He is married but the girl he was kissing was not his wife.... Well, that is not my problem!!!
Sunday sis and me went to met dad at the Museum of Architecture. It was really nice. We went back to their place and I made dinner. I had bought him a really nice sweater for his birthday/Fathers day and he seemed to like it.
Today I'm preparing at bit more for the champagnetasting on Dec 14.
Have decided to ask Dr C to the party on Saturday. I think he will enjoy that and this time I am going to try to be the first one to call. He always calls first so I don't want him to think I'm not interested....because I am.
Take care

Boyfriend or boy friend?!?!
Sometimes I just don't get it!
When can you consider yourself not single anymore and does not being single mean you have to stop doing certain things??
Have now been seeing "Dr Carter" for a while. Took him to Anna's party last Saturday so he has met some of my friends. Sunday we had brunch at my place (yes... he spent the night ;)). He went back to his place as I was meeting some friends for an early movie.
Monday he called and came over for dinner (spent the night again). Tuesday had my hair done all day and yesterday I went over to his place and spent the night there.
As I can sometime be quite unfocused I made quite a fool of myself yesterday. I had made a roastbeef and potatogratin. He called and asked if I wanted to come over after his training. I said I would bring some food so I packed up some meat and potatoes in a box and put it in the fridge. I got a bit stressed as I was leaving the house and just grabbed a box out of the fridge. When I got to his house he, hungry as he was, opened the box and found what used to be the potatosallad I made last Sunday covered in mould!
I went to McDonald's and picked up some food....
Back to my single/not single issues. I'm going to a party next weekend, should I ask if he wants to come and in two weeks I'm having some friends over for cheese and wine. Should I invite him to this?? I really don't know how I would feel if it was the other way around... These are things that I've planned since a while back b.C. (before Carter). If he had plans with his friends I wouldn't automatically expect him to invite me along. I would be happy if he asked but I would probably say no.
Maybe I'll just ask him and he can decide for himself. We don't need to do everything together.
I need my space... wonder if I should call him tonight, after all I did promise him dinner...
Now I sound needy and very girlie...
Was dad's birthday yesterday and Fathers day on Sunday so I got him a very nice sweater. Sis and I are taking him to an exhibition and dinner on Sunday. Should be nice, I do enjoy spending time with my dad.
Well, better get on with writing a proposal for a champagnetasting and my new PR-adventure...

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.

Therefore I agreed to date a guy who looks exactly like Dr Carter (Noah Wylie) in ER...

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 :)

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
Take care

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

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.

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....

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

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

Battered and bruised
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

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

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

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 ;)
Take care

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

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.
Take care

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 :)

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
