Clumsy...

I'm not the only clumsy one: Read in the paper today about a guy in Fitzwilliams museum in Cambridge who stumbled on his shoelace and fell. While falling he dragged down some priceless vases from the Qingdynasty... Actually, every time I'm in a museum I keep wondering what would happen if I'd break something. Nothing happened to this guy, apart from the shame and disgrace :)

I just watched the ending of the dumbest TV-show I've ever seen. It's called "7th Heaven" and is about a priests family....all about family values and no sex before marriage and such.
Anyway, it was about Valentines Day celebrations. So I realized that Valentines is coming up soon. Am I supposed to do something for Dr C??? He used to live in the US where Valentines is a huge deal.
I've never celebrated Valentine when I've been in a relationship. Nor did I do the "Bitter Single Woman"- thing and gathered my girls to burn ex-boyfriends stuff and nag about being single.
So what does he expect? I could maybe send flowers to his job. That's always nice and kind of fun or I can take him out to dinner. Or maybe he will take me out...That would be nice.
But what if I do this big thing and he does nothing. How embarrassed wouldn't I be then?!?!

Yhe weekend was very nice. Was out with Hannah on Saturday, just spent the evening catching up at Sturehof.
This Friday we are going to have dinner at Franska Matsalen at the Grand Hotel. It's really expensive but it's probably worth it. It's supposed to be one of the best restaurants in town and they are closing for good by the end of February. Maybe I should ask Dr C to join us. If he comes he will be the only man there :) He'll probably enjoy that...

Take care

A good laugh

I do believe you need at least one a day. Have had a few good laughs this last week :) First on Wednesday night when I was having dinner, wine and some very nice talks with Tove at Bistro Jarl. We then went on to Riche for a few drinks.

I realized that 20-something men have turned it into a kind of sport to try to pick up 30-something women. I mean I don't in general mind people trying to pick each other up in bars and nightclubs, not at all actually, but a 20-something guy is not really "my cup of tea"...
Two brothers were after Tove and myself and they kept saying this like "I think you're hot even if you are older" OK, a bit of advice: Few women like to be reminded of their age, especially by someone younger. And no, you won't be getting any by doing just that!

I'm planning for the annual summer holiday. This year, if I get my way, we will be renting a boat, a penichette, and cruise on the canals and rivers of France. I'm not really a boat person but on a river land is close so if anything happens I can swim to shore and safety. Seriously, if they rent it to people who have absolutely no experience it can't be that hard...
There so many parts of France I haven't seen yet. I'd love to see the castles of Loire or enjoy the supposedly amazing food in Burgundy.

Had another good laugh yesterday. I was on my way back from the optician, walking by one of the poshest restaurants in town, all suit-and-tie-business-lunches. I carried 50 tulips wrapped in paper. Just in front of me a woman slips on an icy spot and falls over. Some suit and tie-guys inside the restaurant stopped eating and watched her struggle to get up. I went up to her to try to help her, but the only result was that I slipped and fell too...Tulips flying all over as I landed on top of her. By this time two of the men from inside the restaurant and one waiter comes running out to help us both up. They where smiling, I suppose it must have looked kind of fun. I got up and started picking up my tulips, one of the men helped me. The woman asked if they could get her a cab. The waiter guy, the perfect gentleman said: Of course and escorted us into the restaurant where he offered us a cup of coffee and a chance to warm up. As I was leaving, quite embarrassed, one of the men came running after me with the last tulip that he had found. He said: "Your flower, miss! Wouldn't want you to be without it." And as he turns around to walk back into the restaurant HE slips on the same icy spot. The waiter come running back outside but this guy gets up, quite dignified and says: "May I suggest some sand on that spot."
We all got quite a good laugh out of that :)

Today I'm going to clean my apartment and I have found two jobs I'm going to apply for and then I need to write a marketing plan for My Own Company....

Take care!

A lump in my throat

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...

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*

Paris...

I knew it. I should be in Paris :)

You Belong in Paris

Stylish and a little sassy, you were meant for Paris. The art, the fashion, the wine, the men! Whether you're enjoying the cafe life or a beautiful park... You'll love living in the most chic place on earth.

What City Do You Belong In?

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!

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 ;)

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 :)

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
