I am in a committed relationship and I don't know how it happened. I guess when it's right it's right.
Friday sis and I went to buy the sheets for G&V. Then we went back to our parents place for dinner. Sis looked like she was up o something all night and as we were leaving it turns out that she had a date that night. I offered to join her just to make sure that the guy was not a psycho (that's at least my official reason - I'm curious) but she said no. I called Mr S and we met up and went to Vinbaren for some wine and cheese. I like the fact that he is as into wine as I am. We had a really nice time until a couple came and sat down at the table next to us.
Sometimes I get a bad feeling about a person and the guy really gave me the creeps...
Saturday my parents were supposed to come over with the printer they gave me. I thought this could be a good time for them to met with Mr S, briefly and casually. My mum calls and I tell her that Mr S was at my place. She sounds very uncomfortable and it turns out that she sends dad in and he acts like a total idiot. I got angry and upset both for my sake and for Mr S.
Anyway, I tried not to let it get to me, even if it did.
Mr S and I spent Saturday together. We decided to go to the countryside. We went to Gripsholms castle and Mariefred, a small (very small) town right next to the castle. We had coffee and sandwiches in a place that didn't accept credit cards...
As we came home we rented Wedding Crashers (1,5/5) and The Weather Man (4/5).
And I fell asleep.
Sunday I met up with my friends for brunch and then off the G&V-reception. Hannah called and couldn't find the way to the hotel where we met. To my misfortune I answered the phone and had to take her abuse. Like it's obviously someone else's fault that she can't find her way around town... Might be nice if she could grow up and take some responsibility. I do understand that her life is about to change in a major way as she is finally done with her thesis this fall. But still... nice behavior is not to much to ask for.... or is it.
As I come to think of it... she wants to go abroad, probably the US, and do an MBA. Almost all of my friends have studied abroad, and so have I, and she is like the last one to go. I do wonder if she is nervous about going since she might not be as good a scholar as she wants to be...
And her behavior towards Mr S is still weird...
Gotto get going now, I have a meeting in town soon...
Take care

Happy Birthday to me :)
I'm 33 now wishing I was 27... My next "big" birthday is f***ing 40.
Have had the nicest couple of days, very much including Mr S. I worked until quite late on my actual birthday. Mr S was invited to the opening of a new posh club downtown and he asked if I wanted to join him. We went and it was... ok. The place is really cool, in a sort of designed cool way but the party was kind of dull. No dancefloor, nothing really happening just the same people you see around town hanging out and having drinks. I guess I should give it a couple of visits before I decide.
For my birthday Mr S gave me a bottle of champagne I hadn't tried before, 3 red roses and a 50 euro gift certificate at NK. God, I nearly started crying. As I'm writing this I'm staring at the fab roses.
Yesterday I gathered some of my friends for dinner and drinks at Pontus by the Sea. We had a really nice time, in spite of the fact that Hannah (true to her judgmental self) started going off on her thoughts on healthcare and money. I believe she actually looked Mr S in the eyes 3 times during the entire evening... and when she called to tell me that she was on her way her comment to his presence was "that figures". It's hard to believe that this is the same person who goes on and on about people having no class and being trashy.
At least the rest of my friends seemed to like him. I know he is nervous about my friends not liking him. He has most of his friends in the south of Sweden and he wants us to go down there for a weekend so I can met with them. That could be fun and I would also get to met lovely Sus who lives in Malmoe.
Today I'm having the compulsory birthday dinner with my parents. My dad called me the other day and told me what he is getting me: a wireless network :)
He seems to be doing well and he told me that he has lost some weight. If it's due to the cancer or just vanity I don't know.
Today sis and myself are meeting to pick up the weddingpresent for G&V. We are getting them fierce sheets.
Got the final booking confirmation for the boat for the summer :) It's just one month to go and then I'll be sipping Sancerre wine on the Loire river. Am so looking forward to that.
Mr S asked if he could join us in Paris but I'm not sure. I think this time I'm going to do Paris with my friends and he and I could go later. We have plenty of time since I do believe that this is my man.
Am now slowly staving so breakfast is a must

The Monsters strike back
I'll be damned! Lordi won the ESC!!
Was over at A-K's place for our annual ESC-evening. Plenty of laughs, wine and fun. We also did the usual betting thing. I thought that Russia would wine and Finland would come in 3rd, but how wrong was I??!! I thinks it was great and kept playing "Hard Rock Hallelujah" in my Ipod all day yesterday :)
Last week was The Week from Hell. Was working double almost everyday and was so tired on Friday I nearly started crying when I dropped a wineglass on the floor at Huvudsta. This week seems so much better already. Having my hair weaved tomorrow and I'm only working Wednesday and Thursday :) AND on Wednesday it's my birthday. I'll be 33 but I can't decide if that is a good age or not... One might think that at 33 I would have a plan, or at least some idea of what I'm gonna do with my life but one is so terribly wrong. All I really want to do is buy shoes, drink cocktails and laugh...
The weekend was great! Friday Mr S came back from Malmoe and he came over with some take out sushi and wine. We had a really nice time and....yes he told me that he is in love with me :)
Saturday I needed to pick up a dress for the G&V- pre-wedding event next weekend. Mr S has a car, a really cool 2-seater, so he gave me a ride to one of the big malls a bit outside of town and I finally found a dress. One thing less to be all stressed out about. Then we picked up thaifood and went home so I could change clothes.
Stopped by Hannah's on my way to A-K for a quick glass of wine. I got the feeling that she wanted to apologize for being a total bitch last weekend but she eventually didn't. What she did say, and that seriously bothers me is that she thinks Mr S is "slimy". Seriously, grow up girl!
Sunday we, that is Mr S and me not Hannah and me, had breakfast in bed and then we went to the movies with Henri. "The DaVinci code". I can't really decide if I liked it or not. The actual film is very...nice. The photo is great, good actors, the storyline is ok but there is something missing....I'd give it 2,5/5 because it really never gets exciting.
Then we went over to sis' place for some dinner and the hockeygame. And I'm proud to say that Sweden won again. World champions and Olympic champions in the same year - how cool isn't that?!?! So now he has met my sister and Henri too and I think it went well. Must however call sis and check what she thought of him.
Almost all the arrangements for our summer holiday are final now. The boat has been paid for, what is missing is hotels in Paris and traintickets. Am so looking forward to going to Paris again :)
Spoke to my dad on Saturday. He was out buying new stuff for his computer so I suppose he is doing quite well. He is having surgery this fall and seems to be in good spirit so am I.
Take care

"I've never fallen in love...
only stepped in it a few times" That is my favorite quote from my favorite movie "Peter's Friends" (if you haven't seen it, it's a must!!)
Anyway, I supposed you could say that I am close to stepping into it right now :) Am seeing the very passionate Mr S at them moment. We met for the first time some time ago, while I was still seeing Dr C, at a network-lunch. A couple of days later we had lunch. Then all the stuff with Dr C started and ended so we didn't really met at all.
Last Monday we met for icecream before sis and me treated dad to dinner.
Monday we had dinner at RAW, probably the best sushi I've had in a long time. Afterwards we went to another place for cheese and dessert. Then back to his place ;)
We have spent every night together since Thursday and it's really great. With him I immediately know what is going on and he actually tells me how he feels.
Friday I had drinks with Hannah and Emilia and Mr S joined us a bit later. Then we strolled around town to find something to eat. We decided to try a place called The Dancing Dingo - looking back the name should have been a warning... Hannah and I had kangaroomeat - let's just say it wasn't great. We were treated to dessert that wasn't great either. All in all it was probably the worst meal I've had in a long time.... Or no I should give them credit for having really good wine and bread....
Saturday we met with Hannah for some shopping. I need a dress for a pre-wedding party I'm going to in two weeks. Didn't find a dress but picked up a pair of new cool sneakers :)
In the evening we rented a movie "The Aviator" with Leo DiCaprio, surprisingly good.
Next week could turn out to full blown chaos. I have two jobs now plus some things to do for my own company... Well, I can sleep when I'm old and wrinkled.
Better get back to my laundry!

Music, music
so the Eurovision Song Contest is getting closer by the minute. I love it and I hate it. Love it because it is the one time when I can binge eat tons of candy, bounce up and down on the couch yelling at the tv "you suck"...or wait I actually did that during the icehockey championships to. Anyway, Finland is causing a huge deal this year by sending Lordi and I LOVE IT!!! They look like the UrukHai from the Lord of the Rings but the song kicks some serious booty :)
Today it's nice and sunny so I suppose I should leave the couch. Tonight I'm having dinner with sis and dad. My mother is in France celebrating a friends 70th birthday. I wish my friends would whisk me away to Nice for my birthday. Hey guys, you have 2 weeks to buy the tickets ;)
Dad, being the strong silent type, doesn't really want tot talk about his illness. It's kind of hard to bring it up when he so obviously does not want to. Well, we'll see what happens.
Last week I spent stressing about Dr C's party. It went very well apart I think. Hannah and me went over there right after the winetastsing at Uffes. Since I had spent Friday fixing most of the food all we had to do was setting things up.
We stayed long enough to hear some guy, Dr C has the strangest friends I must say, telling a story about how he was I New York and I quote "a big fat f***ing n****r" was driving his cab. That was my que to exit! Seriously, anyone using the N-word is just not ever ok. They deserve nothing but contempt and public flogging!
Hannah and me left the party and went to AG for some wine.
Now I just got a call from Mr S and we are meeting for coffee.
Thursday I was supposed to go on a date with Marty, a guy I met on the dating site (yes, I'm back there again) but he had to go to London on business. He promised he will make it up to me next week with a large amount of champagne. And I intend to hold him to his word :)
Now, I strongly suspect my girl Gonzo is in love and that is lovely :)
All in all I have to say this week has been fun and I have a good feeling about the rest of 2006. We are almost half way and like the song goes "things can only get better"
And, one more thing before I go: I have friends like Sam and I love them dearly. Thanks!

A friend like Sam
I suppose that is what we all need...
I watched Lord of the Ring III.... again today and Sam, as always, impressed me.
Isn't that what we all need? A friend who doesn't give up on you and when you are to tired to fight they will fight for you, and when you are to tired to walk they will carry you and when you are to tired to try they will try for you.
That is the kind of friend that I need right now.
My dad is ill, he has cancer and will be having a surgery next week. On the upside is that they caught it early so the surgery don't be that invasive.
He called me this morning and broke the news to me. He also said that if he would die, God forbid, he would count on me to keep the family together... I hope I'll find the strength to do that. My dad has always been the stable and never changing part of my life. He has always said to me that everything is going to be fine and he has always believed in me. We don't always have to talk, with my dad silence is ok.
All this makes Dr C and his party seem kind of small. I'll do the party since I have promised him but that's it. Nothing more I have bigger things to focus on right now. I haven't told him about my dad since I really don't think it is any of his business nor is it his problem. What I need is someone who says that everything is going to be fine and a shoulder to cry on...
Take care

Remember the bad times...
Dr C called me this morning. He not only wanted to invite me to his housewarming - he also wants me to arrange it. Fix the food, the music, buy the booze and basically the works... He woke me up so I was caught at a weak moment so I said yes. We decided to meet this afternoon to plan it.
I went over to his place, haven't been there in a while now. As we sit down with a cup of coffee he breaks the news. He is seeing someone new and she is probably coming to the party that I am arranging. What can I say?!?! What was I supposed to say?!?!
It didn't feel like it was the right time to say "I think I made a mistake, I want you back in my life" so I smiled and asked if she knew that I "the ex-girlfriend" was going to be at his housewarming. He said it was cool so I believed him.
Right now I'm spending most of my time trying to remember the bad times and the bad things about him...Like no public displays of affection, no kisses, actually no affection at all unless in bed...
Damn, I miss him but I'll be fine. I know I will because I have to.
Now I need to look ever better at the party. I need to look my best and be a cool, calm and collected party girl.
Oh well, I'll wear my new fierce shoes and a cool dress and I'll be all that :)
I just wish I had more guts so I could tell him what I waned even if it's way too late.
Sweet dreams

The Call
Had a nice time yesterday drinking champagne with some friends. We had Billecart Salmon cuvee Elisabeth Salmon 1996 (rose) and Aubry Le Nombre D'Or 1998. The rose is mabsoluteufavoritete champagne, it's perfect for the summer.
Dr C called me today and invited me to his housewarming-party next Saturday. That was nice of him of course. I suggested that we would have lunch sometime next week so it seems like we are meeting on next Friday.
If I go the party I will mosdefinitelyly bring back up -> Hannah.
On the upside: I have have a job. I'll be working at a museum twice a week all through May. They have a lot of different events that I'll be in charge of - could be fun. Am also arranging a "nice event" for 22 women between 24 and 64. I don't have any more information than that and the fact that they don't want to walk much and nothing physical... I have absolutely no idea what to arrange for them.
Right now I'm dying for some microwave popcorn :)

Mistakes we make
I think I made a mistake. I want Dr C back... or maybe it's just break up feelings that are coming back to haunt me.
As I see it I have two options:
- I don't tell him, we have no more contact and I'll regret it for a while but I'll get over it
- I humiliate myself by showing emotions and tell him and feel proud of what I did but risk total misery or complete happiness.
Hm, something to ponder upon....

Mission Impossible
Had a nice weekend!
Spoke to Dr C on Friday. He seems kind of determined to help me find a job, which is nice but... I really don't know what to think.
I found a job that interested me at Handelshogskola where he did his MBA. SO I asked him for some background information about the school. He called med back after having done some serious research with a bunch of names of people I should talk to.
On Friday he called me back again after having spoken to some more people...
It's not that I don't appreciate his help - I really do but I feel a bit odd about all the effort he is putting into this. Hannah thinks I should keep "a door open" for him because she is convinced that he is doing all this to impress me enough to take him back. I do want him in my life but may be not as a boyfriend more like a friend.
After all he is a genuinely kind person and I don't think he would do anything to hurt me.
We are, however, totally different and have very different interests.
Gave in to my lower instincts on Friday and met my bootycall J ;) We had fun but some of the magic is gone now... Spent Friday night at home, mad a nice meal for myself and had some wine. Saturday fierce gal-pal Gonzo and me had brunch at Clarion hotel. A very nice brunch and we got to do some catching up. Afterwards we took a stroll around town in the sun and I found a great pair of shoes that I bought. Spring is really in the air now and it's so nice.
Saturday night was Maria's party. I got home in time to take a quick shower and change clothes. I wore my new shoes, they are slightly too big but I'll try to find some soles to put in them. The party was fun. They started out with a music quiz - an idea I intend to steal for our vacation - and then we had dinner. The food was ok, not more and not less. I was seated next to a guy I haven't met before but he was ok. I stayed until the end, as usual and then we went onto a pub but I didn't stay that long. Got home at around 2.30 and went to bed.
Today I went over to sis' place for dinner and some wine. We had a great time.
Tomorrow I'm having lunch with Ingrid EM. She is giving me an coffemaker :)
God, I'm so tired today!
Take care

I found a job that interested me at Handelshogskola where he did his MBA. SO I asked him for some background information about the school. He called med back after having done some serious research with a bunch of names of people I should talk to.
On Friday he called me back again after having spoken to some more people...
It's not that I don't appreciate his help - I really do but I feel a bit odd about all the effort he is putting into this. Hannah thinks I should keep "a door open" for him because she is convinced that he is doing all this to impress me enough to take him back. I do want him in my life but may be not as a boyfriend more like a friend.
After all he is a genuinely kind person and I don't think he would do anything to hurt me.
We are, however, totally different and have very different interests.
Gave in to my lower instincts on Friday and met my bootycall J ;) We had fun but some of the magic is gone now... Spent Friday night at home, mad a nice meal for myself and had some wine. Saturday fierce gal-pal Gonzo and me had brunch at Clarion hotel. A very nice brunch and we got to do some catching up. Afterwards we took a stroll around town in the sun and I found a great pair of shoes that I bought. Spring is really in the air now and it's so nice.
Saturday night was Maria's party. I got home in time to take a quick shower and change clothes. I wore my new shoes, they are slightly too big but I'll try to find some soles to put in them. The party was fun. They started out with a music quiz - an idea I intend to steal for our vacation - and then we had dinner. The food was ok, not more and not less. I was seated next to a guy I haven't met before but he was ok. I stayed until the end, as usual and then we went onto a pub but I didn't stay that long. Got home at around 2.30 and went to bed.
Today I went over to sis' place for dinner and some wine. We had a great time.
Tomorrow I'm having lunch with Ingrid EM. She is giving me an coffemaker :)
God, I'm so tired today!
Take care

After Easter
Survived Easter with a little help from my friends :)
Thursday was great, had the girls over for dinner and a lot of laughs and wine. Friday wasn't my best day...spent it doing laundry and puking ;) Finally managed to drag my sorry self to the pizzaplace and the videostore (Ali and Ocean's 12).
Saturday was better. Went over to dad to get some help doing my taxreturns. Since I sold my old apartment last year it's oh so complicated this year... Need to dig up some old papers from the sale to get the numbers right. If I don't I risk having to pay taxes for the profit I made on my apartment and I really don't want to do that. Spent Saturday night with Hannah drinking champagne at Gondolen with a spectacular view over town. Stockholm is really beautiful, sometimes I forget that.
Would have been home at a decent hour, we left at 1 but no. Some idiots decided the subway was a great place to settle some differences so eventually the police was called in. Maybe it's a sign that I'm getting older but I keep wondering what these kids are doing out?
Sunday was the Big Family GetTogether. My cousins and their kids came over to my parents place since they have the biggest house. On the upside I only got the usual "aren't you going to have kids soon"-question once this time. My answer :" Oh no, I just broke up with my boyfriend" shut them up a bit. All in all there were 4 kids between 1,5 and 7 years of age there and all I could think of was when can I leave and go and have a drink...
Sunday night sis, her boyfriend and me went to the movies (Walk the Line 4,5/5). I think the boyfriend is kind of boring. So not the guy I'd see my sister with but what do I know...
He was nice enough to invite me to his birthday party in 2 weeks. This means I need to get him a present...
Today I made the final reservations for our summer holiday. We will spend one week on a river boat on the Canal Lateral de la Loire and then a few days in Paris :)
To drive the riverboat one does not need any experience, I mean how hard can it be. (Might be famous last words from my big mouth ;))
Once in Paris I'm going to Hediard and Fauchon and also Lavinia. The rest of the time I'll just stroll the streets and soak in the ambiance. I miss Paris!
Spring has arrived in Stockholm and with spring comes new spring shoes... I'm going into town tomorrow to find some.
Have spoken to Dr C twice since the big break up. He called again yesterday while I was training and just left a message. He was in my neighborhood and needed to find a restaurant.
I need to call him for some tips on a job that I'm applying for.
I don't really know which approach is the best: Break up and no contact what soever or break up and keeping in touch on a friendly bases?
Well, let's see what happens...
Take care!

Red red wine
This has not been my best day. Had the girls over for dinner yesterday and the four of us managed to down 6 bottles of wine. But we had a nice dinner with plenty of laughs and some dancing too :)
Today I have been on the couch all day wondering why it seemed like a good idea to have a dry martini at 2.30 in the morning...
Now I'm dying for a pizza, a good movie and plenty of water...
The lunch with Dr C went surprisingly well. He was extremely charming and cute like he can be and we had a good time. He has started to get some furniture in his apartment, sounds like it will be very nice once he is done. I promised to check out some place where he can get some second hand furniture.
Sunday I'm meeting the rest of my family. My mum is hosting a big familylunch at their place. My cousins, the boring crowd, will be there. Can't say I'm looking forward to it but afterwards me and sis and some friends are going to go dancing at a gayclub. It is usually so much fun there so that part of Sunday I'm looking forward to.
Happy Easter everyone

Closure
Just talked to Dr C on the phone. We are meeting for lunch tomorrow and it's safe to say that I'm NOT looking forward to it... I thought that I would need some sort of closure and to say good bye properly therefore I insisted that I needed my stuff back from his place. I just left a make up remover and a facecream that I don't really need. But now we are meeting for lunch.
I feel mostly relieved now. No more questions and constant wondering...
Actually talking to him was nice so I had, for a split second, some second thought but then I tried to tell him what I'm up to and he is totally uninterested, just like he was before so no second thoughts :)
I found a fab job that I applied for today at a brand new hotel that is opening soon. Apparently is will be a so called boutique hotel. Sounds very nice. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Am actually back at the dating site again, mostly for fun this time around and a 23-year old asked me out. I mean he is almost 10 years younger than me...a bit too young actually.
Uber cool blogger buddy Steph wrote the funniest thing about her boss actually going down on a stripper at a hen-night. Seriously, that is just so nasty!!
Thursday I having some friends over forEasterr dinner. Will be so nice!
I reallyreallyy have the best friends anyone could wish for and even if I don't always say it I appreciate them every day.
And HUGE thanks to all my blogger buddies for support and kind words!!
Take care!

Moved on
I moved on from Dr C very quickly... maybe to quickly. I feel fine actually but I keep thinking that all this will catch up with me and I'll breakdown. But somehow I don't think so. Now there is no more drama, no constant wondering about what is going on...
Like girlfriend T said "Now there is nothing to worry about" And I realized that I have been worried for the last 3 months. Not a really great way to live.
Had a great time this week end. Thursday I had dinner with some friends. We had some really nice conversations about most thing like life and love and work...
Friday I met up with the rest of the EC-crowd at a place called Cliff Barnes (remember the guy from Dallas??). I have never been there before but it was quite cool. At around 11 o'clock they turned on the music and there was some serious dancing... People basically danced everywhere and it was so hot!! Once they closed we went onto Storstad for some more drink. Quick pit stop at McDonalds and then home to bed.
Saturday an all-girl dinner at PLF's place. She is really a great cook and it was nice to meet all the girls again.
Sunday was wonderfully sunny so Hannah and me strolled round town and then had some wine at a nice bar. When I came home... a bit tipsy I rented King Kong (3/5) and had dinner.
Today I met with a really nice guy from SC. We had lunch at a place that would be perfect for Hannahs graduationparty in September. I have some really fierce ideas for the party but I need to check out how traditional is has to be.
Better get back to writing my jobapplications
Take care!

Goodbye Dr C
Dr C just left my place and we broke up.
It was very dignified, no arguments and no tears - no drama. Kind of like our relationships has been.
I feel... mostly empty. He is after all someone I've spent quite a lot of time with and I will probably never see him again (Well, I'll see him once more since I have some stuff I need to pick up at his place).
We weren't eachothers perfect match but I don't feel like I've made a mistake dating him and I will miss him for a while. This guy I will remember fondly, really I will. He is a nice guy but but MY nice guy.
I probably will be sad and cry once all the information has sunk in but right now I'm ok. There will obviously be ups and downs but life goes on and I'll go with it. And I obviously will be wearing fabulous shoes as I go ;)

Hello Winter!
It's snowing or rather it's a dreadful mix of running and frozen water coming from the sky.
Why??? Where can I complain? I want my money back!!!
So, it's Friday today - nice. I'm going to rent a DVD tonight and have a drink.
Now, I've been trying to get the morning paper for some time now. A salesperson called and offered me a very good deal so I said yes. This was 2 weeks ago and still no paper. They called yesterday claiming they have got the wrong address but somehow they got my phonenumber right. Now it is suppose to come tomorrow... we'll see about that.
There is one person who annoys me more than anyone on this planet: Linda Skugge (unfortunately she writes in Swedish). Anyway she is on a personal crusade trying to convince women in their 30ies to have children. The irony is that she used to be a very trendy "city-girl" and now she has kids and a house in the suburbs and is just plain sad!
She has always been very judgmental about peoples lifestyles - it's very much her way or the highway but seriously....
If she wants to have kids and live in the suburbs - fine. I'm happy for her but why can't she respect other peoples choices? And now - even worse - she is against free abortions! I am totally pro-choice! I have a very hard time believing that women would use abortion as birthcontrol.
She seriously promotes that OB's should convince women to have kids since "there are so many women who wants to have kids and can't". Ok, that is NOT an argument. I truly feel very sorry for those who wants to have kids and can't but will they be happier if I have kids?? No, didn't think so.
I have never had an abortion (knock on wood) but I really don't think it would be a decision I would take lightly.
In theory, if I became pregnant, I could keep the baby. I mean I am a quite capable adult but I don't want to. I have never had that desire to have children. Maybe my maternal genes are just not functioning. I mostly find kids loud and annoying...
Spoke to Dr C yesterday. I think he has found my blog since he told me about what's going on in his life just like I wanted :) But then... he said to me: "Maybe you'll feel better and have more fun if you'd get a job" Gee, thanks for that advice, that idea never actually crossed my mind. What the hell does he think I've been doing for the last 3 months?!?!
Today I got an answer to the mail I sent to place where I'd like to work and they want me to send over my cv :) Keep your fingers crossed for me!!
Big shoutout to fierce and fab Gonzo who had her birthday!
Saturday I'm having dinner with sis, Hannah and Tanja. And then we'll hit the town for some drinks. Might see you out there!
Take care!

Hello Boredom!
It's official: I have no life! The prime of my day today seems to be the laundry and a call from mum...
OMG, a job is a must right now. Did however work at Huvudsta yesterday which was fun as usual. Camilla, friend from Huvudsta, is leaving and starting up her own business: she is becoming a bag designer! How cool isn't that?!? I will so buy her stuff when they come out.
Spoke to Dr C on Monday night, or more like Tuesday morning. I called to see if we could have lunch today but he is busy. I so tried to tell him a the stuff I'm thinking about over the phone but it was 1 o'clock at night so my mind wasn't that clear.
So far I've come up with (or my fierce buddy Nick has come up with) the fact that I think way too much. I should just go with my gut feeling. But it was my gut that got me into this trouble to start with...
So what does my gut tell me??!?!
I do like him a lot most of the time.
I wish we could "connect" easier but I know that I'm partly to blame for that as I do not like to talk about myself
Ok, enough of the rambling: next time I see him I'm going to tell him that I'd like to keep seeing him, more often and we need to define what we are. If only for my own peace of mind.
Now there I have it, that is what I need: peace of mind. Just wonder where I'm going to find it....
So hungry now!
Take care!

On Strike
It's not only the French that are on strike. I am a one person procession of demonstrators...or it's maybe more like a boycott. I read that Tommy Hilfiger does not like it when black rappers wears his clothes - therefore I'm now boycotting anything by Tommy. I really don't think it will have any impact on the world business but still...
Now, regarding the French - they truly have my sympathies. The proposition is totally outrageous. By being able to lose your job with out warning for the first 2 years your have absolutely no security at all. The jobs I have had I stayed about 2 years.
It's crazy and I hope M. de Villepin will see his mistake and change his mind.
I admire people who goes out of their way to make changes in the world. I give money to the MSF and sometime to some other charities but that's it. I want to try to find something that I can be really passionate about (and this not being getting a new Furla bag). Maybe I should try out some volunteerwork....I'll look into it.
Talked to Dr C today. He is in Italy with his job, conference and skiing. I wish I was skiing in Italy...
He didn't tell me that he was going which only once again proves that I am not a factor in his life...
He has shut down his account on the datingwebsite - if that is good or bad I don't really know yet. I am going to ask him when he comes back to town.
On the one hand I suppose it's good that he is not dating someone else but on the other hand it could be that he has actually met someone else he wants to be with. (Wonder why buddy Carl says that I tend overanalyze things ;))
Blogger and IRL buddy Joachim left for his diving adventure in Egypt today. He'll be back in a months time and hopefully spring will have arrived then. Yesterday it was actually snowing!!

Next week I'm contacting a girl who is training to be a cook. She wants to work within the eventbusiness just like me. It would be great if we could find something to do together.
Now I will get back to watching figureskating :)
Take care

Winter is back
and with a vengeance! Today it's actually snowing... again! The weekend was really nice. I got to wear my new sunglasses that I love and there was a feeling of spring in the air.
Last week was nice. I spent a lot of time alone around the house. Dr C was working a lot so we only spoke on the phone a few times. Friday was sis' birthday and we all met for dinner at an Italian place. The food was ok but the portion were quite small.
Got to met sis' new boyfriend. He seems a bit stuck up actually and he tried to make some jokes that no one really found funny. But all in all dinner was nice and it was nice to see Dr C again - I missed him (the romantic is back...;)).
Saturday was the Swedish try outs for the Eurovision song Contest. Now this is still a huge deal in Sweden. This last week it has been all over the papers "Did the right song win??" Well, if you ask me the answer is no.
Carola won, and all my respect to her as an artist but she has some opinions about the church, god and the gay community that scares me. To say for instance that being homosexual is a sin and you can be cured by prayer.... I DON'T THINK SO!!!
I can't really believe why some find homosexuality so offensive. As long as we are talking about consenting adults I don't care whether there is 1 person or 10 in bed (or wherever you choose to have your fun).
Hannah and myself joined sis and some of her friends and watched the competition. A-K, where we were, is so into this. She has taped all the competitions since 1981...
After the TV-show was over Hannah and I stayed and had a great conversation with A-K and her man. They are really nice both of them.
Sunday Hannah and me went into town to check out some clothes for the upcoming wedding. Now I know the actual wedding is not until August but it's always nice to be prepared :) I really don't know which dresscode they will go for. Knowing Gosta, he is kind of traditional so I think it will be quite a dress up occasion.
After strolling around a bit we went over to Nordic Light hotel for martinis and some wine and then off to Nordic Sea hotel for dinner. It's important to end the weekend in a good way I believe.
We got to talking about dating ex-boyfriends of friends. God, for me that is a huge no-no... Well at least depending on how much time has passed since the breakup. Less than 1 year is not happening for me.
Called Dr C to see if he wanted to join us but there was no answer. He had a huge presentation to work on. He called back a bit later but then my cellphone battery died so I couldn't call him back. Too bad!
Called him again yesterday by still no answer. I'm not that big on leaving messages for people so I guess he'll call me back eventually. I hope I'll get to see him this weekend, we both have been quite busy in the evenings lately.
Have been thinking a lot about relationships lately. Per and I talked last weekend about how to make your partner feel appreciated and secure. I know I'm not good at that but I'm going to try a bit harder. I will try to talk more about me and my feelings and ask more about him and how he feels about things.
We did have a nice talk about his job after sis' dinner. I tried to cheer him up and make him see the good sides.
Now enough of the drama I'm really hungry.
Take care!
