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!

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

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.

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!

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...

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.

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 ;)
Take care
