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.
Take care

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.

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!

Fell on my nose
yesterday. In a very un-graceful way as I was running to catch the bus.
The bus obviously stopped and every one stared at me. A nice girl came over to help me get back on my feet. Staggered and limped on to the bus, feeling like a total idiot...
Was stressing to get to the champagnetasting on time.
Then of course, the phone rings and a customer VIP is waiting outside our office to pick up some stuff and who has to go back?!?! Me. He was supposed to come at 1 o'clock but no... he strolls in a 5.15 pm.
Limped of the bus, got on to another and met up with the guy. He was, however, nice enough to give me a ride back downtown.
Got to the tasting 20 mins before it started and AT was quite irritated. The actual tasting went very well.
We tried: Henriot, De Venoge, Launois and Leclerc-Briant
Afterwards some of us went for dinner. Due to VIP-visit I had no time to eat before the tasting so I got quite hungry. Had another glass of wine, some food and went home.
Today it's cold and I'm tired. Am actually quite looking forward to leaving my job. I finally get to sleep in the mornings... but I guess after one week of sleeping in, I'll be climbing the walls again.
Got my self together and email the English application with my translated cv. I have quite high hopes for that job because I think I would enjoy it.
I have another date tonight :) Might be nice... we'll see. We are meeting at Nordic Sea hotel for drinks. I have told him that I have dinner plans later - good thing to have a back up plan if he turns out to be an idiot. If he's nice, I'll tell him my dinner plans changed ;) What a bitch but everyone does it! If I'd go out on a weekday I can always blame work but Fridays is a bit harder.
Am also trying to write a "Thank-you and Goodbye"-mail to my coworkers. It's hard I wish I could just leave and kind of vanish without a trace.
I think I'm going to make them a Pannacotta on Thursday before I leave :) Maybe I'll make the one I had for a dinner party: Muscovadosugar and Gran Marnier... Should be a hit :)
Well, better get back to work now
Take care/E

Running like a fried rat...
is a direct translation of a Swedish expression for when you are totally stressed out. So today is my fried rat-day :)
Have to write a job application in English, translate my cv, pickup 6 bottles of champagne at Systembolaget, bring the bottles to Nordic Light where I am hosting a champagnetasting tomorrow, run back to the other side of town where I'm meeting Mi for dinner and then off to a Robyn-concert. Now, I know it's all my own fault and it's all about pleasure but still... I must whine a little bit...
....
....
Ok I'm done!
So this week has been a full blown chaos at work. Rescheduling of plane tickets, rental cars and hotel rooms. And of course I'm stuck in the middle.
Went training yesterday, was actually quite fun once I got there. Sis is a great training partner. Came home and heated up some lasagna and started reading for the tasting tomorrow. Got some notes done, checked my email and my blog-buddies :).
Tonight is the Robyn-concert which will be fun. Mi and I are going, first to dinner and then the concert. It's sold out so I'm glad to have scored tickets.
Tomorrow Torbjorn and myself are hosting a champagne tasting. This time we are tasting vintages (De Venoge, Launois, Henriot and Pol Roger)
Just heard that the Pol Roger-bottle we ordered has gone missing... So I guess we'll have to find something else.
Now I better get back to creating order in my chaotic life....
Take care/E
