to France. Leaving at 6.50 am tomorrow morning. Why does planes leave at that outrageous hour?!?! This means I'm getting up at 4... Getting up, not going to bed ;)
Mr S is nice enough to get up with me and take me to the airport. Am meeting up with the rest of my posse at the trainstation in Paris, Gare de Lyon.
Now I should get on with my packing, laundry, washing my hair and all of the other stuff I have postponed until the last minute....as usual.
Don't know when I'll be able to update again but take care and have a great summer, you deserve it!

Countdown
to my vacation! I have 4 days to go :)
I need sleep and sun and fun and plenty of food and wine.... and some serious shopping!
Have been working hard lately, well not hard but a lot. I really don't like my job at the coffeeshop. My boss is rather odd. She is very much "my way or the highway". If I do something she can just redo it so that it's done her way. And she actually cleans empty sodacans before she throws them away... Now that's just crazy!
Spent midsummer with Mr S and a couple of his friends. They had the sweetest two cats and a baby that they put to bed at around 8. We had the traditional herringplate and the we did some barbecue. They live right downtown but just on the waterfront in a really nice apartment. We had schnapps. I usually drink 2 of them a year: one on Christmas eve's lunch and one on Midsummer but this year I, to Mr S's content, had at least 5. It was not good at all actually and I got pretty drunk. As we were leaving, I was working the next day, Mr S started looking quite worried when I tumbled down the stairs in my high heels. He kept telling me: "Darling, maybe we should wait for the elevator" I just giggled (have a tendency to do that when I'm drunk) and stumbled into the cab and fell asleep. I woke up just as we stopped outside our place. As we came in I had apparently promised Mr S a massage but I fell asleep with my clothes on so I owe him one...
I finished the Music quiz for the boatride yesterday and tried it on Mr S. He found it being quite difficult. I may have to make some changes tonight.
On midsummer he told me (I have very vague memories) that he will say yes if I were to propose to him. I suppose that was some hint but I blame it on the booze...
My apartment, or our apartmenthunting, is not really progressing at all at the moment. When I come back from France I'm going to get my life back on track again.
I'm going to lose some weight, start working on my company, find a fierce job and a cool apartment. Or at least one of the four...
Off to lunch with Mr S now.
Take care!

I'm not asking for much...
All I need is a fierce apartment with a walk in closet, a terrace and no freaky neighbors. But that is apparently too much to ask for?!?!
Mr S wants a place he (or his carpenter-friend) can renovate. I want something new and fresh. Well, I can paint walls. Am actually pretty good at that but that's all the renovating I do. He is talking about new kitchen, tiles in the bathroom and knocking down walls.
I told him that I'll be somewhere far away when this takes place. And he said (the smooth talker): "Oh no, I need you to be right here with me since my life sucks without you"
So, I guess you'll see me knocking down walls sometime in the near future....:)
There was a weird smell in the kitchen this morning. I checked the fridge... nothing but then I checked the garbage and oh my god. I nearly puked! There was something leaking from the garbage and I will spare you the details but it grossed me out.
I have only 10 days to go until I'm on the riverboat in France. Can't wait. I need to sleep and be in the sun, get some really good laughs and just relax.
Tonight sis is coming over for dinner and the Football Game: Sweden vs England. I so hope Sweden wins but I do think it will be 0-0 or perhaps 1-1. If I have read the charts correctly 1-1 is just enough to get us through to the next round. I'm still quite upset with the French - they truly suck! Yesterday Spain beat Tunisia is a quite exciting game. I watched it on and off at work.
Dr C called also but I could answer as I was working. I'll call him back later and ask about the party. Hope the food was alright.
Mr S's ex kept calling for while but now he has told her to stop and apparently "go to hell", since she didn't get the message. It's odd how some people don't know when to quit. Obviously being dumped is never any fun but have some selfesteem and self respect!
I would bitch to my friends but I would NEVER call back and beg. (Here I conveniently forgot about the fact that I wanted Dr C back)
No I'm off to town to have lunch with my man and pick up some stuff that I need for France:)
Take care

The next step
is cleaning out my closet to create some room for Mr S. He is officially moving in this weekend!
The Week from Hell is almost over... only 2 working days to go and I'm glad because I'm so tired. Am working at Huvudsta on Monday night, possibly the last time before the summer holidays.
Mr S and me were out having dinner yesterday. We were supposed to met at the restaurant at Bondegatan 57. It was very warm and sunny, as it is today, so I decided to walk. About halfway I realized that I should have... I was tired and sweaty and dying for a drink. The street system in Stockholm is usually quite logical. No 1 is opposite if No 2 and so on. Bondegatan doesn't work that way.... No 57 was opposite of no 78 and I started walking from no 1. Once I got to the restaurant I ordered two dry martinis for Mr S and myself. He arrived moments after me, in a cab, looking fresh and rested. I managed first to spill most of the drink on the table and over the menu and then I dropped a fork on the floor.... not my night.
Dinner was nice, very modest prices but it felt like money well spent.
Mr S told me that his mum is dying to met with me. Christ! I wonder if she is one of those "no one is good enough for my son"-kind of moms.
His ex called during dinner. I don't really mind them talking in spite of the fact that she hasn't given up on trying to get him back. But while we are out having dinner for the first time in a week I wish he would be on the phone with anyone. It's quite rude actually. He told me that next time she calls he'll hand the phone over to me so I can answer. Then she won't call again....believe me ;)
Spoke to Dr C a few times this week since I was handling the food for his party yesterday. I was invited but I never went. I think he has gotten the picture now. It's not that I mind seeing him but it feels kind of pointless now. We don't have that much in common. It's not that I regret having spent time with him but it just over now.
Tuesday it's the Big Game for the Swedish soccerteam. We are facing Svennis and the English guys and are under the pressure to preferably win but a draw is ok too.
I found my passport and I wish I would have time to get a new one issued. I look like a hobbit in the photo so I'm not looking forward to showing it to the French custom... I wonder what it is about passports. No matter how fierce you'd usually look in a photo - the passport is always ugly.
I am so looking forward to my 12 days in France :) It will be all about wine and food and shopping...
Take care!

Apartment hunting
I'm looking for a new place or actually Mr S and I are looking for a new place. Living together in my apartment might be a bit optimistic.... I have after all only one room and a huge amount of shoes scattered over 46 sq. M. I was working today so he went to 5 different apartments but didn't like any of them. Personally I hate looking at apartments. It feels like coming over to someone's place where I'm not welcome. He will officially move in here on August 1st but he already spends most of the time here.
Today summer really hit Stockholm. I love it, or would have loved it if I hadn't had to work all day. In my backyard there is a barbecue that we used today so the day ended in a nice way.
Yesterday I was at my aunt's 60th birthday. My dad made me choose the wine we gave her and then he embarrassed me by making me give a speech about the wine at the party. After having eaten a lot of food, the food was great, I met up with Mr S to go to PLF & T for T's birthday party. Once we got there most people where totally wasted. It's something about their parties, once you enter the door you just get automatically drunk. I tried not to drink to much since I had to get up for work this morning but Mr S went with the flow and sunk 2 bottles of wine.
Friday we went shopping after work i. e. Mr S stood in the dressing room trying on everything I threw his way. He always wears black - how dull isn't that?!?! But I'm working on it so now he owns a beige jacket, several different colored shirts and pants :) Then we went home and watched a few episodes of "Sex and the City". He claims that he learns a lot about women by watching it. I'm just amazed that he hasn't seen it before...
Next week will be the Week from Hell! I'm working Monday and Tuesday at Huvudsta and then Wednesday - Sunday at the coffehouse. In a week moment I promised Dr C to help him arrange another party on Friday. I don't really know when I'll find the time to do the shopping for this but since I've promised I'll better deliver...
Ah, and I found my passport. It was in the kitchen. I do amaze myself sometimes....
Take care

Wrapped up
(No updates in while, sorry about that)
I truly believe that Mr S used to be an octopus in a previous life. He has a way of wrapping his arms and legs around me when he sleeps. All this makes me hot, and not in a good and pleasant way so I shove my elbow in his guts and he moves away. 5 mns later he's back there again...
It is nice however to sleep in he same bed with someone. He practically lives here now. His apartment lease in ending in July, his company rents the apartment for him, so he is looking for another place. Or actually we are looking - he wants me to move in with him.... I'm not sure. On one hand to would be great but on the other I keep thinking that we have only known eachother for about one month and what if it would end...
Well, I have some time to decide.
Dr C called me again. I screened his calls for a while but I got to curious of what he wanted so I called him back. He wants me to arrange another party for him. He pays me so why not. Mr S is cool with it. I wish he could be just a little jealous, maybe he is because he said that he was sure that Dr C wants me back "he'd be stupid not to". He have a way with words this man :)
With him living here it means that his stuff are also here. I don't mind that fact that he brought his 42" flatscreen TV but the rest of it.... computer stuff, ties, belts, shirts, pants....
The family dinner went very well. The folks seemed to like Mr S very much. And we ran into them again on Monday when sis' choir gave a concert.
Right now I am so looking forward to the riverboat holiday. It's less than 3 weeks away (note to self: find passport). Mr S asked if he could join us Paris but I think I'm gonna say no to that. This trip is about my friends and I. Mr S and I have any opportunity to go to Paris just the 2 of us later.
Big shoutout to M&M who got engaged last weekend :)

Salmon and wine
I'm on my own tonight, not single - just on my own. Mr S is in Malmoe helping his ex-girlfriend to move. Apparently they planned this several weeks ago and he did offer not to go if I wouldn't think it was ok. I acted like an adult and said it was fine... I guess it is, I'm sure enough of him. Now, the girl apparently hates my guts. According to Mr S they were never really a couple, they were just sleeping together. She, on the other hand, thought of him as her boyfriend and planned to move in with him...
Well, we'll see what happens.
So, tonight I'm on my own so I picked up a nice peace of salmon, some shrimps and some wine and I'm enjoying my meal in front of the TV.
This week has been very nice. I've worked a lot and spent a lot of time with Mr S. He prefers my apartment to his (so do I ;)) so we spent most of the time here.
The advantages of dating a guy who works with internet security is that he got one of his consultants to fix my wireless internet. So now it's up and running and he did something to my computer so it's much faster than it used to be :)
Tomorrow sis is having her very delayed birthdayparty. I already gave her a gift so for tomorrow I'm going to make her a cd with some party music.
Mr S is coming with me to her party and on Sunday it's the big Meet the Parents-day. My parents can be quite odd sometime so I hope they'll at least try to act somewhat normal... They did apologize for their strange behavior last weekend.
Now I'm going to enjoy some more wine, some candy and the movie Casino.
Goodness, I miss Mr S....

Seriously
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

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.

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!
Take care/E

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!

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!

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...

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!
