rebeccas daily life

2010-02-28T17:41:00.004+01:00

I have been off this weekend which has been soooo nice. Mered went to sthlm yesterday with his job and left me all alone which ment that I could watch aaaaall the True Blood episodes without hearing anyone complain! And what do I do? Fall asleep!!! I didn´t watch more than 3. What a disgrace!

Today I went for brunch with Viktoria and Pauline and their husbands for brunch and now I´m gonna make chocolate cake because Artemis is coming over. Tomorrow, double of Bikram yoga since I missed the class today. So between 8.30 - 12.30 you know where I´m at tomorrow.

And a big happy birthday to one of my bestfriends who is turning the big 3.0 today!!! Happy B day Tessan!!!!

Weekend update

2009-11-01T08:28:00.004+01:00

Good morning ya´ll (with a Britney accent)

This weekend has been one of the most relaxing once in a loooong time.

Friday night was spent with Selma at home eating pizza, sharing a bottle of Rioja and a looot of talking. One of the best nights in a long time. Yesterday was Saturday and my work weekend. It wasn´t too bad, plus I got to see my sweet friends Viktoria, Salem and Linda so it was all good. Walking home from work I crossed over City Hall square and I don´t think I´ve thought about it that much, this whole MJ thing. Ok, I know he´s a great artist and its sad that he died and ofcourse I like his music but he´s not a God to me. But walking home yesterday seeing this biiiiig billboard for a movie of a guy that is dead made me think of how huge of an artist he really was.

Flu shot day

2009-10-28T06:08:00.002+01:00

Good morning world!

I feel so alive today. I know it´s only 6.10 am but I have slept like a baby. I fell asleep in the couch again, like I always do. This time to a REALLY good episode of Criminal Minds so that sucked :=( Probably because I ate too much apple pie ha ha ha.

Yesterday at work me and Urszula decided to get a hold of things ourselfs. At the hotel you don´t really get the help you need so if you want things done well honey, you better do it yourself! So that´s what we did. Many of the rooms needed painting and since we only have about 200 of them we decided that if we wanna be done before Christmas we´d better start cracking. So 10 rooms were done yesterday. Yeay for us!!!

When we finished for the day a doctor came to the hotel to give anyone who wanted a flushoot. I had been going though pros and cons for a long time and didn´t really think much of it until my best friend, Mama, was her during the weekend. Since she works with this everyday and a baby AND a baby in her oven I decided to go for it! And no people, no backlashes. Like I said. I sleept like a baby :=)

Back again!

2009-10-26T15:20:00.002+01:00

I know I know, this is the usual melody. I tell you I´ll start writing again, a couple of weeks goes by and then I quit and as usual I will make the very same promise this time :=)

Quick update; got married in May, got a promotion at work in September and I am now working as the Executive Housekeeper at Clarion Collection Hotel Twentyseven in Copenhagen, Denmark. Going on my honeymoon next week to Aruba so I can´t be happier.

This weekend has been , as the Americans say, "awsome". The Törndahls came from Norrköping and stayed the weekend. We haven´t done anything but eat, sleep and talk about old memories. I love them! I just wish we lived closer together. They also got married this year and when Mered and I got Sunday brunch tickets at the Hilton we decided to bring them along with us. So off we went yesterday to this spectacular event. My God, I can just tell you, you have never seen a brunch if you haven´t been to this one!

Soon I am off to spinning at SATS and then to the movies at Entré with Adele and her sister. We are going to have some dinner first and then watch "Fame". I have been wanting to see that movie for soooooo long. And tonights the night!!

Weekend pictures

2009-04-06T00:53:00.008+02:00

My weekend acctually stared on Thursday. We had a huge party at the hotel with a re launch party of the Icebar becoming a concept of the Icehotel in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden. It was a fantastic time. I have posted pictures of that on Facebook if you wanna see. On Friday I went to Queen B´s internship to get my hair done. She´s in a salon in Lilla Torg called Skills. I coloured my hair in preparation for the wedding.

This is my fantastic stylist and best friend, soon to be sister-in-law

Then another friend called me on Friday saying she was in Malmö. She´s also from Märsta but studies in Kiruna. She decided to surprise a friend of hers that has recently moved to Malmö with her boyfriend to start a sushi restaurant.

And I am telling you right now, no joke, I thought I had sushi before. But then I went to N3 in Västra Hamnen, and I can´t even describe it in word. I will let the pictures talk for them selves. Like they say, I picture says more than a 1000 words.

This is the amazing sushi crew at N3.

Then it was time for some B day celebrations. Miss C and her brother J had their B day party so I baked a cake seen by Mr. Mööör up above.

The cutest couple ever :=)

Two of my fantastic bridesmades.....

And now we just came back from dinner with the sushi crew and miss M at Lilla Torg. The food was ok and the company was fantastic. Thanks alot guys for a great weekend. And hope to see you really soon!

Licence to thrill

2009-03-31T16:55:00.009+02:00

I don´t kow if I told you that we have a famous person staying at the hotel? Well, anyways, the girl with me in the picture is Aridia Ramos, the winner of something like Idol in Spain. She´s been staying with us for the past week. She is the sweetest girl ever. Problem was only that she didn´t speak a word of English and I don´t speak a word of Spanish, but hey. Thank heaven for Google translator. :=)

Yester day, Melissa Knut and I went for a training course in service. Melissas room mate was going on vacation to Nice so she joined us on the train to the airport. We got on the Metro, thinking the course was at Airport Hotel DAN. What we didn´t know was that they had changed the location to somewhere out in the bushes, 25 minutes away by taxi!

So we got into a taxi. Knut was NOT amused :=)

Once we got there everythin was fine. Lots of food and coffe all day long.

Our motivational speaker of the day, Henrik, was a fantastic and enthusiastic person which reminded me alot of Mr. Bean.

The best thing about the whole day was that the hotel had a ice cream / popcorn machine in the lobby outside the conferance rooms!!!! Can I just tell you that it made my day!!!

Melissa drawing her life changes on a piece of paper....on of the assignements of the day.

L fo love ;=)

Sometimes when I finish work I find this bike outside of the hotel. How cool is this? I have always wondered who rides this typ of bike....

Once in a blue moon, fantastic, amazing and wonderful guests turn up at the hotel. To the left is an example of that. These are two sisters from Guatemala, one now lives in Texas and the other one in Puerto Rico. They have been at the hotel during the week and they left yesterday and I was genuinly sad. They were so wonderful! One of them always travels with Puertorican coffee. She said she never leaves the county without it. And yesterday as they were leaving she gave me one of her precious bags! How amazing isn´t that!

She didn´t think that me and Mered should go to Hawaii for our honey moon. She told me that if we decided to go to Puerto Rico we were more than welcome to stay in her house! Imagine that!

Taking the train

2009-03-27T12:32:00.002+01:00

This is what I found on the bridge! I have been going over the brigde between Malmö and Copenhagen for 7 months and the other day I realized that there are flags painted so you know when you are in Sweden and when you are in Denmark. And guess what? Yesterday I managed to get it on camera!!!

On the right are two of my friends from work, Vigas is one of the night managers and Taras works in the Wine Room. Now I´m off to work again!

Tuesday chatting

2009-03-24T09:59:00.002+01:00

God morning people!

This is how I started my Tuesday, Skyping with my uncle. I love Skype. Such a fantastic and amazing idéa. The person that came up with this is a genius! Imagine a couple of years ago when everyone was chatting on MSN. Well, that was amazing too. Especially for me that went to school abroad and can´t call my friends on the other side of the world. I write this and you get the picture that I Skype all the time with my friends when in real life the only one I Skype with is Mulle. Well, it´s good enough, since she lives in New York. I wish that Di, Mon and Giselle to just name a few were on Skype more often....*hint hint*....

Yesterday was such a nice day. I was at home most of the day, fully dependant on the TV since I missed both Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill on Sunday night due to our car drive from Norrköping so I had to see the re runs and ofcourse the were spread out during the day which made it impossible for me to leave the appartement :=) I know, I know, I am such a looser when it comes to these teenage drama showes. But at the end I managed to drag myself to spinning class and then for coffee with Marie and Marléen at Lilla Torg.

Today is another day. Not hung up on TV shows though ;=)

weekend in Norrköping

2009-03-23T09:41:00.007+01:00

This weekend has been the best in a long long time. I went to Norrköping (about a 4 hour drive from Malmö) to vistit one of my oldes friends that just had a baby.

Mered and Christian was driving up tp Märsta so I went in the car with them. My friend was at a funeral so I had a couple of hours to kill in Norrköping by myself before I meet up with her. But the sun was shining and I had money on my account so I didn´t have any problems with that :=)

About a million years ago another fried of mine, Katta G moved to Norrköping so I decided to go to her makeup store to see if she was still there. And yes she was. It was great to see her again.

Anywas, otherwise this weekend has been about spending time with the February family. Their little ruby is the cutest baby boy I have ever seen. He is so adorable. And yes mama, I still want children after this weeken ;=)

Enjoy these beutiful picures....

2009-02-28T16:18:00.002+01:00

Saturday and I´m at work. I love working weekends. No management, no stressed out business men, no rush hours on the train. I love it. The guests are totally different. Instead of going off to meetings and catching flights to go to another seminar everyone is excited about seeing the city, having a drink and just relaxing. I´m not made out for working a monday morning. I love weekends...

Since I last wrote something we have had the pleasure of welcoming a house guest, Christian. It´s a mutual friend of Mered and me (even though Mered probably sees him more of HIS friend :=) Christian is doing his final exam project in Denmark and because of the distance to Gävle where his school is he is staying with us until the end of April. Now, I know what you´re thinking. END OF APRIL!!!! Hey, that´s what I thought, but having him in the house is like a dream. He cooks, he cleans and he does dishes. I love him! He´s fantastic. I just hope that some of this charm rubbes off on my lazy soon to be husband.

Last night I stayed behind after work and had some drinks with Mona and Melissa in the bar and when I woke up this morning I swore to the Gods above that I would not drink tonight. But as always someone always has to destroy my plans and of cours at it happends, Viktoria, Pauline and their husbands are coming by the hotel tonight for some drinks and asked me to join them....Who am I to say no to these sweet innocent people........

Valentine´s Day

2009-02-14T09:24:00.002+01:00

Mered & I were both off from work yesterday and decided to do something spontanious. He always complains that I am the opposite of that, which I totally disagree on. I am very spontanious, flexible and open minded. But nooooo, he doens´t think so. Anyways, so yesterday I got the "spontanious" idea of going to Gothenburg for the day. For those of you that has never heard about this place I will let you know that it is Swedens third largest city and it took us about 3 hours to get there and 2,15 minutes to get back!!! whooohaaa, I know. "No comment" (giving Mered the eye)

But why this "spontanious" trip you ask? Well, I found a jewler online that I loved and wanted to go see some of the rings in one of the collections for our wedding. And so we did. We packed us in the car, first stop was Halmstad to visit "one of Swedens largest wedding stores". My ass. I was NOT impressed....Anywho...continued driving and met this fantastic woman named Caroline which had about 1 million diamond rings. I fell inlove yesterday. I have decided on a LARGE diamond ring and now it is all up to my husband to be to approve of the buy. :=) Let´s see if I can´t butter him up tonight :=)

At the moment I´m at work, then I am coming home to a three course menu!!! For all the 5 years we have been together this is I think the 3rd time Mered has cooked for me!

Monday is NOT funday

2009-02-09T08:04:00.004+01:00

Yet another weekend has passed and I am back at work....

Well, weekend, I finished my shift on Friday at 11pm and I had to get up at 5 am this morning so I wouldn´t call it a totally free weekend. Last week was Copenhagen fashion week aswell so we were fully book practically every day aswell. But hey, having loads to do makes the time goes even faster.

We work in 2 week shifts. So this week I started of my 2 weeks of morning shifts which means that I have to get up at 5 am. It is horrible. It´s pitch black outside and the people I meet looks more like zombies than humans. The only good thing that comes out of this is that i finish at 3pm.

After work today I am meeting up with our wedding photographer to give him the deposit and then I am going swimming with Artemis.

2009-01-28T16:06:00.003+01:00

I just read about Jessica Simpson and how everybody's picking on her weight. How? She looks amazing. I'm just wondering how a nation like the USA can be so negative about someone that looks that amazing when 65% of the population is overweight.

Jelous much?

2009-01-28T13:31:00.003+01:00

What's new you want to know? Well, I have been off work since last Thursday when me and Mered drove from Malmö to Sigtuna. We were supposed to stop in Norrköping to visit one of my oldest and most fantstic friends, Tessan. She was having a baby on the same day that we were drivning up and Norrköping is on the way to Stockholm. But on our way we got a message that they were tired (understandable) so we continued driving. Slept in Sigtuna and went to Uppsala on Friday to have coffee with Maria. We also went to Sandra, another friend that just started her own gym. She's also a fantastic person.

Then Mered and Pierre came to pick me up and we drove all the way up to Gävle to visit Christian that had his 30th birthday. He had no idea that we were coming so it was a huge surprise when he saw us at the restaurant! The whole weekend was fantastic, eating, drink shopping etc. On Sunday we drove back to Sigtuna ( except Mered that had to drive all the way back to Malmö all by himself)

Since then I have been here in Sigtuna with the rest of my family, yes, Mollie too. She surprised all of us by coming all the way from New York.

So the rest of the week we have been making the invitations for the wedding in May. Half of them are finished.I will post a picture later when I get home and have a camera.

New Years Eve

2009-01-02T12:38:00.010+01:00

I spent my New Years working. It was my own choice since I got Christmas off I felt it was better to work during ew Years. I don´t think it´s all that anyways. Everyone just gets in a frenzie over what to do, what to wear and what to eat and drink. So I started my shift at 3 pm and finished at around 6am. And by my side was the fantastic Sara was by my side.... Sara counting cash....

Things that makes me annoyed

2008-12-26T11:39:00.002+01:00

Friends that sends a sms with a "personal" greeting were they wish "You & your family" a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. (My God people! How difficult is it to pick up the phone and call someone? If the person REALLY matters to you you SEND THEM A CARD, not an sms. Don´t try and fit all your guilt of non contact during the year into one pathetic little sms during the Holidays.)
Same goes to B-days. But this is worse.
People on the train that takes more than one seat. (Yes, I know your handbag is EXTREAMLY important and you absolutely can´t possibly have it in your knee but if you take a look around you might notice that the train is full and people are standing up. But still, we all know that your handbag is so precious.
When standing in line at the coffee shop and the guy in front of you is about to order but the girl can´t take his order because HE´S ON THE PHONE! Get off moron!. What the hell! There´s other people than you in this world that want coffee in the morning!
I know that when you are a group of friends walking together that you absolutely MUST walk arm in arm, side by side. God forbid if you let go something might happen! Like : OTHER PEOPLE WANTING TO WALK PAST! MOVE!
When someone calls you on your cellphone and someone else calls you; DON´T PUT THE FIRTS CALLER ON HOLD! They are the ones paying for it DUMBASS!
Same goes for children. If someone calls you and it´s a bad time because your little angel just HAS TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING RIGHT THIS MINUTE AND YELLS "MOMI MOMI MOMI" ask the person that called you if it´s ok to call them back. Don´t talk to your children. I know you love them but I love my money.
Being late. For any reason. How hard is it to make a phonecall or send a sms saying you´ll be about 10 minutes late. NOOOOO!. Let the other person stand in the blistering snow waiting for you wondering what the hell is up. This goes for you Ethiopians too! Beeing late isn´t a part of your culture. IT´S JUST RUDE!
Not saying "thank you" to someone that just spent 2,5 hours in the kitchen making dinner for you lazy ass. EAT SHIT AND DIE!

Christmas update

2008-12-26T09:06:00.002+01:00

We found our camera!!!! Or should I day that Bibbis mom found our camera. Apparently we forgot it on the bus when we went to Stockholm last time...ooopsi! It´s been on load ever since we found it and today I brought it to work so I´ll post some pictures tomorrow.

I´m working double shift today which means that I stared at 7 am (went up at 5 am) and I finish at 11 pm. But it´s ok. I´ve had 2 days off now and I have another 4 days off after today. My parents are coming tomorrow and staying until Monday, then Pierre and Maggie are coming and pn Wednesday it´s New Years Eve so there´s not really anytime. It´s amazing how I always manage to book myself all the time without checking to I get time off for my self.

Well, Christmas has been fantastic! On the 23th we went to Helsingborg to celebrate with the Abraham/Cullin family. It´s a tradition down here that everyone goes there. They had made all the food from scratch, there was poridge, Christmas tree and loads of gifts. We didn´t get home until probably 2 am!

On the 24th, which is the day that us swedes celebrates Christmas, we went to Lund to celebrate with the Awoke family, Bibbis family. And again, fantastic food, gifts and cheesecake! What a night. The only bad thing that happend was that I woke up in the middle of night (we spent the night at their house) and I couldn´t breath!!! I had an astma attac! I haven´t had that since I was like 8 years old!!! I couldn´t sleep so I walked around the house a bit and finally ended up on the couche getting a few hours. But when I woke up in the morning I still was not feeling well. Mered went for a walk with me and I felt a little bit better. It was so wierd!!! Today is the day after and I´m still not feeling a 100%. When I walk up the stairs I get out of breath like I´m an 88 year old woman! I need to relax.....

puss puss...

Chrismas starts today!

2008-12-23T07:55:00.002+01:00

That´s right my friends. My Christmas starts today! At the moment I´m at work but only until 3 p.m. Then I´m off with the train to Helsingborg! Mereds extended family lives ib Lund and Helsingborg so we´re celebrating half of the Holiday in Helsingborg and then in Lund on the 24th. Fantastic!

Until then, I´m at the hotel. Enjoying the peace and quite this Holiday brings to this place :=)

puss puss...

Rainy day

2008-12-20T07:59:00.002+01:00

Woke up almost by myself this morning. I was half awake when my alarm went off at 5 a.m this morning, went up and had a shower. Wonderd what the noice was outside and realised that it was havey rain and wind! Man, and I have to walk to the trainstation which takes me about 15 minutes. Turned out it wasn´t that bad after all. I have a really bad tendancy to make things look and feel worse then what they really are. So I got really surprised when I stepped outside dressed as I was going skiing.

Usually I love the train ride in the morning. Peace and quite, reading my book and just looking outside the window. But during the weekends all the partypeople that has been drinking while I´ve been sleeping are at this hour trying to get their by now hung over asses home. Man, it´s so anyoing. Yapping, screaming, fighting not to puke. Yuk! But I love when the train stops at Copenhagen station and the drunkos are fast asleep missing their stop. To all of you I say: MOAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Karma baby. It all comes back to you!

puss puss...

My weekend

2008-12-19T20:41:00.002+01:00

i know, I know, it hasn´t really been weekend but I´ve been off for 2 days so it feels like it´s been weekend.

Yesterday was so much fun! I meet Bibbi & Caolina at Triangeln and we started our day shopping for Christmas gifts. On the 23, called "lill julafton" in Sweden we are all going to Helsingborg to Carolinas family. On the 24th which is the day that all swedes celebrates Christmas we´re all going to Lund to celebrate with Bibbis family. For those of you that doesn´t know, Bibbi is Mereds cousine.

After shopping, Bibbi and I went for a late lunch at "Chili" and shared a bottle of wine. We got sp tipsy that we didn´t know if we were gonna be able to get more alcohol at "systembolaget". But we did. Yeay!

Then I went home, took a shower and back to Bibbis appartement for some more wine, Carolina came over and the three of us went to Volym, a bar which had a club called Original bangarang. Fantastic music, good drinks and some more of our friends, Shemina, Selma and 2 other girls.

So today I have done nothing but sleep, eat pizza and eat candy. Gotta go now, CSI starts again!

puss puss...

Lady lunch

2008-12-18T11:44:00.003+01:00

Ok, so now I´m gonna try and start to blogg again :=) I´ve lost my camera so it´s not as fun. Maby I´ll wish for one from Santa!! Hmmmm, but like every year Mered and I are so boring when it comes to gifts. We always give them in advance. We´re too excited to wait. I know....I know, you don´t have to tell us. We´re like children when it comes to holidays and gift. We just can´t wait.

So, alot has happend since I last wrote something here. For those of you that I don´t talk to all the time might not follow in everything but just let me know and I´ll fill you in :=)

There are so many fantastic things that are happening in my life at the moment. I read my friend, Ingrid´s blogg, yesterday and I realized that everything she had posted was so true! I had like an "aha-moment". It wasn´t anything amazing, just the truth. About her life and how she lives being just a "normal" person. I love what you wrote Ingrid. It made me stop for a minute and think and appreciate what I have and what´s to come in the future.

Now I´m for a lady lunch. Shopping, having lunch and drinking wine. Tonight we´re going out so I´ll blogg some more tomorrow.

puss puss...

beach day!

2008-07-25T11:15:00.003+02:00

Yesterday was the first real summer day of 2008 in Malmö. I know the weather was fantastic when we were in Florida but that doen´t really count since I wasn´t home :) I started work at 4 pm and had plans to go to the gym before that but when I woke up and saw totally blue skies I decided to bring my book and head down to "Ribban"instead. This is the old "kallbadhus" in Malmö- It was build sometime in the beginning og the 1900 and still serves the same purpose. You pay an enterance fee of I think 80 kroner and they have a sauna and then you swim in the open sea.
Malmös pride (?) Turning Tourso. Fantastically ugly masterpiece. ha ha ha.

Tonight I´m going with the girls to Carib Creol for dinner and drinks.

Engagement

2008-07-23T16:28:00.002+02:00

I know you´ve been asking. So here it is....THE ring!

Here are the pictures I promised from last weekend when I went to Stockholm. It was my grandmothers B day and she was going back to England the following week so it was now or newer.

Tonight I´m going to Lund after work for our engagement dinner. Mereds family is here for the week and Bibbis parents are making fantastic Ethiopian food! I love it!

I also go a new job today! Starting the 1st of September I´m working at the hotel 27 in Copenhagen. Thanks to my fantastic friend and now co-worker, Maria, I starting a new carrer in Denmark!!! Thanks darling!

Fantastic weekend

2008-07-22T11:49:00.002+02:00

I had the most amazing weekend in a long time! My grandmother had her B day on Friday and that was the main reason why I wanted to go to Stockholm. My grandmother lives in England and usually comes home for the summer for a couple of weeks and since she´s leaving tomorrow, Tuesday, I had to go up this weekend!

I´ve taken loads of fun pics so I´m gonna post them tomorrow. It´s more fun to show you the weekend in pictures then just in words so you have to be patient.......

so far so good

2008-07-17T09:29:00.003+02:00

15 hours and 23 minutes left until the auction is finished!!! Looks like my trip to Stockholm is happening after all! I would be so happy! I miss my sisters and my friends so much! and it´s my grandmothers B day!

So far nobodys put another bid....they probably all read my blogg and got intimidated.....hihihi

2008-07-16T15:37:00.002+02:00

Bibbi....if this is you bidding....I´ll choke you......

ahia......

ananskck&%HÄlpkd&%

2008-07-16T15:34:00.004+02:00

That´s how I feel. Remember the ticket I told you about....Well some moron piece of......(swearing) just put a bid higher then mine. And people....there are like 10 tickets for the same train, same destination that leaves at the same time and only like 4 of them have a bidder. So instead of putting a bid for one of those for only 1 krona some idiot (that probably smells bad too) had to put a bid for 2 kronor on MY ticket. MY TICKET PEOPLE! To be continued.....

Woke up this morning with the hopes of going to spinning but I was so dead tired. So I set the alarm for 7.45 instead and decided to train at work instead. So here I am, almost 9 am and I just had a protein shake and gonna train. The sun is shining and I´m hopefully going to Stockholm tomorrow!

I´m off Fri - Sat and I´m a big fan of a site called tradera.com. It´s an auction site where you can bid on anything from food to furniture. So the traintickets to Stockholm from Malmö is only 1 krona. 1 people! That´s not even 25 cents! If this is the case I´m working tomorrow morning, taking the train to Copenhagen for 2 job interviews. Home, sleep go up at 5.30 to catch the train that leavs 7.11. Meet up Aaron ( my little sisters boyfriends that´s here from the States visiting) and then celebrate grannys B-day on Saturday. I soooo wanna go!!!

Mid week report

2008-07-02T18:25:00.002+02:00

Wednesday. Probably one of the most boring days of the week according to me. It really sucks. Eventhough the weather down here is fantastic I´ve been at work ALL DAY LONG while people have been out eating ice cream. It´s so unfair.

I know what you´re thinking!

- "soon it´s weekend and then you´re off".

Yeeeees, but guess what? Then it´s gonna rain thank you very much. and we just bought a new grill for our balcony!

Yesterday was yet another bikram yoga pass and I felt as I was going to die. As the teacher said and I quote:

-"you have to die first to be born again". I know exactly what she means by that.

But today I feel fantastic. I went to bed at 10pm yesterday and slept like a baby until 7.15 when my alarm went off this morning. Had fruit salad and green tea for breakfast, salad for lunch and I´m gonna make lentil soup for dinner with potatoes, carrots and leak. I feel great. Gotta get inshape now for the wedding next year :)

2008-06-30T19:25:00.002+02:00

Today was my first time at Bikram yoga and let me tell you, that was no piece of cake! For those of you that doesn´t know what it is, let me tell you. It´s yoga, 16 different poses, in 40 degrees, 90 minutes!!! No piece of cake. Everything went fine until we had to lie down on our stomachs. Then I felt my breakfast tickeling my thought. (hals? do you spell it that way? looks wierd?)

I bought a 10 day card for 150 crowns and I´ve booked myself into another class again tomorrow! Wow, I´m so proud of myself. But my carrot is getting married next year so BEACH 2009 HERE I COME!!!

Till Jonas :=)

2008-06-28T14:53:00.002+02:00

As always, a million things has happend since I last wrote on the blogg. I quit my job (ending 31st of August) went on vacation to Florida, got engaged. WOW yes I know you read correctly. I got engaged. Or maby it´s called WE got engaged? Anywho, we are getting married next year, June, in the Caribean. We´re taking all of our family and close friends on a cruise and getting of on one of the islands to say I do. Can´t wait!!!

Until that happends, I gotta find a new job!

So many other fantastic things are happening in my friends lives that I´m very happy about!

Tessan is becoming her own boss staring a SPA in Stockholm. She finally decided to move home and is renting a room to have her own clients! So proud of you *puss*

Mollie is home from NY for the summer and graduated with honors from Pace. WOOOOOOW! Very proud of you too! She´s now in training in Stockholm to set up a new business office in NY this fall. She´s gonna do a fantastic job!

A&I that got married last year August are having twins in a couple of weeks! I+m so happy for them. I´m gonna go to Stockholm in a couple of weeks and I promised them I´ll come and visit. My bet is on girls..... :=)

Well, I just finished work and now I´m on my way home. Tonight I´m meeting up Linda, Viktoria and Susanna for some drinks. We´ll so how the night ends. I´ll try and put up some picures tomorrow.

Pre-weekend blogging

2008-05-02T12:36:00.003+02:00

Been at work since 8.30 this morning. I thought that there would be absolutely no people here today since it was a national holiday here yesterday and today is a so called "klämdag" (squeeze day) which directly means that since it´s only one day between the Holiday and the weekend a lot of people squees in an extra free day and go some where. Me? I have to work. Ofcourse. But Fridays are only half days so we´re only open until 1 pm which is always fantastic.

I´m meeting Tessan for lunch at a new place that has their grand opening today at 12 called "Red Fellas" . It´s a new juice and salad bar here in Malmö that we have been waiting for EVER to open. But now we don´t have to wait no more!!!

Then tonight we´re going to the movies. Either to see 27 dresses or the new Steve Carell movie. We´ll see what we end up with.

Tomorrow is Saturday and me and another girl are doing an event/promotion for the gym so I´ll be busy all day. In the evening there´s a club that we´re probably going to that are playing hip hop and on Sunday I´m helping a friend and her brother to move and then dinner in Lund for some Ethiopian food! Fantastic weekend! Sorry there won´t be any pictures though since Mered took the camera with him to Stockholm.

Valborgsmässo afton

2008-05-01T16:31:00.003+02:00

Hey people!

Yesterday was Valborgsmässo afton here in Sweden. For all of you non-swedes that reads this blogg it a holiday here which mean that you work half day, lit wood on fire (bon fire) and get really stuidly drunk. Oh, yea, it´s also supposed to celebrate that spring is here, but hey, if that´s an excuse to drink, then ok.

As all swedes, I worked half day. So at 1 pm and closed the door, vaccumed and went to the Systembolag to buy alchol for the night. Meet Bibbi´s dad there. I know, I´m 27 years old but when you meet a friends dad buying alchol I always get a kind of ohu ohu feeling. I know, it´s so studid. But especially on a day like yesterday when everyone know that is´s fylla time.

Anywho,we were supposed to have a BBQ but the weather didn´t look to promising so I decided to make a pastasallad instead with turkey. Took a shower and made myself pretty and took my bike over to Nobelvägen 73 B to casa Awoke & co.

BBQ, drinks, music, new people and post importantly CAKE! Then cab ride to Buddah Lounge...the rest of the night you can see in picture mode on Facebook. Enjoy....

2008-04-27T13:51:00.002+02:00

Sunday turned out to be a fab day so far. Went to the gym and then I went to see my sissi at work. She´s flying home to Stockholm tonight for a job interview on Tuesday. I´m gonna miss her very very very very much when she leaves. When we come back from Florida in June she won´t be here no more. Sissi sad......:=( Heres a picture of one of the world best sissis (the other one is in N.Y)
Here´s me faffing around......:=)

Sunday = funday. NOT

2008-04-27T10:22:00.002+02:00

Yet another week has come to its end...Didn´t do much this weekend. We were supposed to go out on Friday but due to a minor issue called CSN and a faktura of 7,500 kronor I decided to stay at home and wait for Wednesday to come. suck.

Instead I stayed home with my darling boyfriend and watched tv. Went to bed early and depressed of beeing poor.

Yesterday we had a pancake breakfast, me and Tessie, since Mered was working. After faffering around the house all morning we decided to meet Stina for ice cream and a friend of hers, Elin, came to join us. Fantastic weather! I love Malmö when the weathers like this. I probably love all places as long as there is sun. I can´t stand winter. Why do I live here? When I was in HIM I rememberd all of us saying that we would NEVER go back to our home countries after we were finished. My God, what happend!? Well, not all of us went home. Found an old friend on MSN yesterday, Dito. He´s from Indonesia and he´s living well in Dubai at the moment. So not all of us went home.

Today is Saturday and I just had breakfast. Now I´m off to the gym for some functional training, then meet my sister. Then yoga, dinner. SLEEEEEP . Weather sucks today so its nothing really to put in the christmas tree if you know what I mean :=)

Sunshine Thursday

2008-04-24T19:04:00.002+02:00

What a fantastic day!

Woke up at 10.30am with the sun in my eyes. Had some breakfast with my sissi, watched Oprah and then decided to go for a walk. Dind´t get very far before we realized we were hungry and went to one of our favourite places to eat called "bakom muggen". It´s a small place that serves lunch, coffe, cookies etc. We had a salad and chatted. Then we took a stroll in the sun, bought a fantastic ice cream and sat by the canal and enjoyed the sunshine!

Started to work at 4pm and is at the moment NOT too keen on going home since Djurgården is playing again AIK on the tv. (for those of you that are not swedish, I don´t have to explain more than that they are 2 soccer teams) so we have an agreement. Mered has the until 9pm on the condition that he fixes dinner!!! yeay for girl power. hi hi hi!!!

Tomorrow I´m working half day and then it´s party at Buddha Bar! Yeay! I´m planing on staying in bed all Saturday hungover eating pizza and waiting for one of my best friends to call me from Canada! Yeay!

can´t wait

I helped rolling the tires from our storage to the parking, then I cleaned the inside of the car and the.....I spent the rest of the time on the phone....:=) well what do you expect, I do have a manicure you know. He thoght I did a good job as his side-kick... This is the same location at I took a photo only weeks ago when it was snowing. Now the park was full of purple flowers!

4 year anniversary

2008-04-06T10:53:00.005+02:00

Ladies, take a good long look at this man. I just want you to know that he is taken! He´s all mine! He´s the most fantastic boyfriend anyone can ask for. All you guys out there, you could really learn something from this man. On Thursday we celebrated our 4 year anniversary and ofcours I kind of forgot about it :=( But he sure didn´t. I got woken up at 7 am by him and my sister entering the room declaring that I´m not going to work today! For all of you that knows me and know what a horrible organizing peronality I have that HATE not being in control, stared to run a loooong list in my head of things that I had to fix if I wan´t going to work. Turned out they had called Linda and gotten her to work for the day!
So I got up and me had bought fresh bread, orange juice and we had a loooong nice breakfast together.Then he told me to get dressed and then he swooped me away in the car and didn´t tell me where we were going.

After about 50 minutes in the car we ended up in Ystad which is a small town that reminds alot of Sigtuna where I´m from. They have a very known Spa called "Ystad Saltsjöbad" and he (with a little help of Tessie) ha made arrangements for the whole day with treatments! It was fantastic!

Ystad is on the other side of Sweden then Malmö and also by the water

We arrived at the SPA at 10am and when we were finished and in the car again it was 4.30pm! We didn´t want to go home to we parked the car down town and strolled though the city and ended up with me buying Mered a watch for our anniversary. Since I forgot...... :=(
On our way back to the car we found a really cute little coffeeshop where it looked like the owner himself was cleaning the tables on the outside. We decided to have a fika and relax and just enjoy the rest of the day. Thank you baby! I had a fantastic day!

Fantastic girls only weekend

2008-03-31T13:07:00.026+02:00

Well, I´ve realized something. This is a weekend blogg and not a daily blogg. But it´s not that strange though since my life seems to take place only during the weekend when I don´t work. It sucks but I guess that´s the way life is when you get old:=)

This weekend I went back home to Sigtuna beacuse one of my oldest and best friends is running away to get married in April so I got an e-mail from Lina describing the evil plan of the bachlorette party! Not even a party A WEEKEND!

So I flew up from Copenhagen on Thursday night to Stockholm to stay at my parents house. On Friday morning it was D day and I met up with Lina, Moa, Ellen and Mimi´s (the Bride to be)mom waiting for the last girl to arrive, Emma.
Breakfast

When Emma arrived she had to play a fake bride in the kidnapping of Mimi to throw her of track.

The kidnapping went, well not as planned, but we finally got Mimi in the car and drove to Uppsala to start the day of with 3 kamp. Mimi got to choose 3 different events were we all had to compete against eachother.

First off, Sumo wrestling and I tell you it´s the best thing I have ever done in my entire life. I ha so much fun. Each contestant had to get into a "sumo-suit" and wrestle 3 rounds.

Me and Mimi went first.

So very sexy

Second event was singstar were everyone sings kareokee but my pictures didn´t turn out that good so instead here you see Mimi in our third event, Segway, where you stand on this little mobil thing on 2 wheel and by leaning forward or back you get the machine to go where "you want it to go".

We al did so well we got diplomas!

Then we went to a SPA and since we are all so hot I didn´t want to put up pictures of us in bikins because I would probably have to close down the blogg :=)

After the SPA we went to Lina´s parents house to have dinner. Picture of Emma above is NOT of her cooking, just posing. :=)

Lojs showed up with a big smile :=)

Last surprise was my sister that also came up for the weekend to do a make over on Mimi. Nice make-up and hair and she was ready for the night.

After just alittle bit of wine me and Ellen was happy. Mind you this is like our 7th pitcture trying to look normal

During dinner there was a LOUD bang on the door and when Lina opend it there was a youg boy standing outside wanting to talk to Mimi. He handed her a written note saying that she had to be at special place in down town Sigtuna at 21.58 SHARP, and a plastic bag which she was NOT allowed to open until 22.00. After a couple of calls we found out that it was 2 girls that couldn´t make it during the day that decided to throw Mimi a second bachlorette party. It was awsome!

When we came down to "Rådhusplatsen" we noticed a window was open ontop one of the restaurants and as the clock stikes 22.00 and Mimi opend the bag a little tiny red light stared blinking from the window. CAMERA! So funny! She had to sing a song and then go into the restaurant "Farbror Blå" to look for further clues inside the restaurant.

One of the clues was to ask a man to dance and lucky Mimi she found one of her friends there.

After more clues we finally had to go outside to fins out who was the mystery party planner and found Anna and Lisa sitting on the porch to Rådhuset with champagne!

They had also printed pictures of Mimi inside the restaurant

Lisa, one of the mystery planners.

It was such a good day and the girls that planned it did such an amazing job! Thank you again!

Sunday walk with the family in the woods..

Yes Mulle, we thought of you too :=)

and after lunch I went to Rosie to see her new baby girl, Nellie. She was soooooo beautiful!

Mamma Rosie and Nellie

Now I´m late for work so I gotta run! Enjoy the pictures!

easter glory

2008-03-25T22:12:00.013+01:00

So easter came....and left..unbelievable. I know I dwell about this every single day but I just can´t help it! Time flies! The last week was fantastic! One of my oldest and best friends in this world came down to Malmö for the weekend with her 2 children to visit. I haven´t seen Mimi or the kids since I was home last time and this was their first time at mine and Mereds appartement!

We started out our Easter together at Espresso house with Albin having fika to wait for little Tessie to finish work. When she did we picked her up and went to ICA maxi to buy food for the weekend. Albin was incharge of Friday nights dinner and he decided on *drumrolle* PANCAKES!!! Here is Tessie mulit tasking. See how she´s got not one, not two, but THREE frying pans at the same time AND whipping the cream! That´s what I call a REAL chef. See Molli! She can cook!

Albin was very happy with his choice and so was the rest of us :=)

Mered was happy too since he got a partner in crime to play XboX with

Then on Saturday night, Mimi and the boys went for dinner at her uncles house that lives outside of Malmö where they were staying and Tessans friend, Totte, who is from Sigtuna but has become, like the rest of us, a Malmöit. Only he lives outside Malmö in a town called Lund. We had a really nice Easter dinner, played games and drank wine.....DIDN´T WE???!!??

seee.....I told you...

Then on Sunday the sun was shining, she sky was blue and as always in Malmö the winds were blowing as it was a hurrican coming :=) But we, me, Mimi and Oscar decided to hit Västra Hamnen for some more fika....

Mmmmmmm, we like to fika, don´t we?

Then in the evening, Milan was playing against Juventus and this is how much we saw of Mered during dinner.....

and this is what Oscar looked liked everytime Juventus scoored and Mered scream of joy

but everyting turned out well in the end and Oscar showed Mered his cars :=)

2008-03-17T15:11:00.002+01:00

Things that makes me happy: finding my sisters name on an apple........................................ and things that makes me sad: waking up to blue sky and sunshine and decides to go for a walk and the snow isn´t coming from the sky but blowing from left to right.......

can you see it...?

Weekend update

2008-03-16T19:56:00.008+01:00

Sunday night and ofcourse football is on the tv so I´ll take the chance to update you on my oh so very exciting weekend. :=)

Friday...hmmm. can´t really remember what I did Friday. Couldn´t have been anything important then I guess....that´s so wierd! did I go to the gym? no, did I work? hmmm, no. Sorry, don´t know. Anywho... yesterday was Saturday. Me and my co-workers had set-up a sales event at "Triangeln köpcenter" here in Malmö to promote the gym. Me, Linda, Zahra and Cecilia went there after work to sell contracts, have a competition where you could win up to 100 days of free training and health consultations. we had a lot of fun. Saturday is such a shopping day in Sweden. My God there was alot of people there.

Linda snagged my camera in the car.

Me putting things togehter for the event

In the evening it was time for Swedens biggest event of the year. Schlager festivalen! Every year there´s a singing competition where you vote for the best performance and the person/group gets sent to the Eurovision song contest which this year is held in Belgrad. The evening was spent at Bibbi´s house with chips, dip and coka. The ultimate Swedish snack for any major event on TV :=)

Me me me me me

Jonas, his favourite DID NOT WIN even though he voted 3 times for her :=(
I have a video of him when he sings along but I promised him not to put it up

Hungover Carolina

The always beautiful Stina

Sleeping beauty Bibbi

And today, Sunday, I woke up, had breakfast, went to the studio to have a spring clean, went to the gym were Tessie works and and had an AMAZING work out, sun bed, massage and now I´m at home with Mered waiting for the STOPID football to finish so we can watch Prison break!

2008-03-14T21:13:00.012+01:00

My God, this week went fast. Feel like I say that every week but especially this week went by just.....*snapping fingers*...like that:=) I didn´t really do anything special besides working and going to the gym. Yesterday, which was Thursday I was of so me and Tessie first went to the gym for a Body Pump class at lunch. Then we went home and had a "spring clean". Tessie got super powers from the gym and is here showing of her newly found super hero powers.....

Then I had promised her to sit as a hair model for her at her school. She goes every Thursday night and some weekends. Yesterday they were supposed to be creative and do a country and she did Japan and did the Geisha style on my head. I looked soooo pretty

hair by Tessie

Then all the models had to switch places so they could practise on other types of hair. The next stylist had to to one of our senses. My stylist got taste. So she made my head look like.............*drumrole*.......CHOCOLATE!!!!

hair by emelie

hair by Peter

The third stylist was a guy and by this time they had to make the models out of their favourite song. I have no idea who the person he was trying to make me look like was but some singer with a red stripe coming thru his bangs. He made a female version of it and I thought it was really cool.

And today, Friday, Mered and I went on a "fixing spree". First we went to "Kakelpoolen" to get some inspiration for re-modeling our kitchen. We found a beautiful moss green tile that we are going to order. Then we went to IKEA to have coffee and by new spot lights for our bedroom.

Then it was time to head over to Bibbi´s place. I bought extentions last time I was in Stockholm and she put them in today.

She is so awsome. She´s studying to become a hairdresser and she´s gona be an amazing one! She´s got talent! Better recongize where you heard it first! W.O.R.D!

Adorable Carolina, her room mate/cousine

The three amigos, Pirre, Carolina and Bibbi.

Then Mered came to pick me up and we went shopping and I.C.A. Maxi. Had to buy some groceries and dinner. HOME MADE PIZZA BABY! Made all by Mered. Yes people you read it : MERED MADE THE PIZZA ALL BY HIMSELF! and it was damn good to. Half pepperoni with EXTRA CHEESE and half with ruccola and parmesan and olive oil. YUMMIE!!!

Now the couch awaits....long day tomorrow.....nightie night

Copenhagen

2008-03-09T10:44:00.006+01:00

Friday was THE day. We have been waiting for this day to arrive all week! It was our Copenhagen day! After leaving Mered at the airport on Thursday night, me and Tessie decided to go and spend the day in Denmarks beautiful capital.

We took the train from Malmö and had our first stop at the airport. (that´s where Starbuck´s is:=) After double white mocca, Frappucionos, toasts and cinnamonrolls, we got on the train again and went into Copenhagen. Before we arrived at the station we saw a new shopping centre on our right side!

So when we got of the train we found a tourist center and ask what the fastest way to get to the mall was:=) Turned out it had JUST opend. Like 3 or 4 days ago! Man it was nice. Even though I´m on a restricted shopping diet at the moment because of our vacation to Florida in May it was still fun to walk aroun and try new clothes. I´ll say it again people, I really need to win the lottery :=(

After spending 2 hours at the mall we headed back into Copenhagen. For those of you that don´t know, Malmö - Copenhagen is about a 30 minute trainride. We spent the rest of the day drinking juice at "Joe´s and the juice", walking on "Ströget" (Copenhagens tourist shopping street) and glaring into the windows of Gucci and Louis Vuitton. Ofcourse the day ended at "Peder Oxe" which is our familys favourite restaurant in the whole world. Ok, and Oasis too;=)

Started out with Applemartinis.............

and ended with dinner.......yummy......

It´s winter again

2008-03-05T20:48:00.003+01:00

Hey people!
So, I got some e-mails recently asking what it is that I do nowdays. Well, I moved down to the south of Sweden to a town called Malmö in August after doing my Internship as I got offerd a job at the womens only gym called "Form och Figur". I started out as an instuctor and doing sales and has since January been the Manager. Since nobody seemed to know what I was up tp nowdays I took some picures from my studio. Womens only gyms are still pretty new in Sweden. In the States, were the idea originated from (called Curves) they have about 12,000 studios over there. In Sweden, Form och Figur have 4 studios at the moment but are expanding at a rapid pace.

The picture you see above is what I woke up to this morning; SNOW!! Can you believe it. Didn´t I say that it would probably go away? But no! It decided to stay, and now it´s shitty cold here..

This is taken outside my studio at Caroli City in Malmö on Kattsundsgatan 8.

And this is my lunch.....working infront of the computer. Do you people now realise what a fantastic exciting life I live? Well, I´m only working tomorrow and then me and Tessie are going to Compenhage as Mered is going up to Stockholm to visit friends for the weekend...

So typical March weather

2008-03-04T20:46:00.002+01:00

This is how beautiful Malmö is in the morning. I went to work at 8.30am and the sun was shining and the sky was blue...Guess what, it´s snowing now. It´s like God decided to use "Head and shoulders" to get rid of all his dandruff...just falling and falling down....Bu the temprature is so mild that it´s not gonna be here when we wake up tomorrow anyways.

As I finished work a friend of mine from back home called. She was in town all day tomorrow for a show and she needed modells. She used to have her own hair salong in Sigtuna but now works for a big company in Sweden and tomorrow they´re here and she wanted to know if I knew someone that wanted to help out. Just my luck, I work tomorrrow. I don´t even have time to see her for lunch. It sucks.

Going for spinning tomorrow morning and then back to work. Tv is occupied tonight. Arsenal is playing agains....Milan? or something. Alot of yelling going on anyways so I´ll hang out here and then go to bed I think.

Good night

Wiew from the top

2008-03-02T17:08:00.003+01:00

Promised a friend that I would but up some picures of my beautiful wiev from our appartement...On the left side you see, if you squint you eyes reaaly really hard, Malmö´s answer to the Empire State building, the Turning Torso. Ha ha ha..

Yoga Sunday

2008-03-02T11:32:00.004+01:00

For all you interested people out there that read my blogg; here are the resuls of my nails! I am very pleased! Next time I´m going for green. As you can see I´m in a green period right now. Such a nice colour. Spring time! Love it!

Today is Sunday and I´m the only one that is off. I was so looking forward to it yesterday but as Sunday arrived its quite sad not having people around you. Well, it´s only for a couple of hours. At 4pm I´m going for my yoga class and then we´re going to the movies. Honestly, I can´t remember what it´s called but I´ll let you know tomorrow....

Another day at its end

2008-02-29T00:12:00.004+01:00

Thursday night. Another working week is coming to its end. This week has been crazy. So much at work, working out and loads and loads of coffee. Started out my day with breakfast with Tessie at Espressohouse as we were supposed to go to the gym for a Bodypum class. But the sun was shining and the birds were singing so we decided to go for a walk. A walk that ended with shopping. Ha ha ha, so not that much excersice.

Then I headed of to the studio were Linda and Birgitta waited. We were doing a promoting for the gym at the shoppingmall that we are attached to. So we stood there for a couple of hours before heading back inside to get some work done. The studio is closed between 1pm and 4pm so we always get alot of sales and promotion done during those hours.

At 4pm we opend the doors and it was supposed to be my day off but because Linda had a seminar I decided to come in and cover for her. But befor the seminar started I had one and a half hour to kill so I decided to work out with our members. They absolutely loved it! They are so used to see us behind the reception or doing personal training with other members and its very rare that we get time to acctually train ourselves. But since I was off and there, I might as well do the best of the situation:=) I had such a good time.

Then I went home to my poor boyfriend that went home from work today because he´s sick so he went to bed early....just watched some tv and relaxed. Tessie came home from school and we had some fruitsalad and now everyone´s sleeping. Believe it or not but I HAVE A DAY OFF TOMORROW! I´m going to get my nails done at "Lack och Lugg" and then.....I acctually don´t know. I´ll try and take some pictures!!! yeay!!!!

Good night....

Fantastic Wednesday

2008-02-27T08:43:00.003+01:00

It´s now 8.45am and I`ve just arrived at work.

My alarm rang at 5.50 and I draaaaagged myself out of the couch. Yes, the couch. My dear, sweet, loving and beautiful boyfriend snored like a dog so after 45 minutes of twisting and turning I decided that it was time. Time to sleep somewhere else. So I ended up on the couch.....Well, it worked. Even though I didn´t get that many hours of sleep I still managed to get up, go to spinning, shower, sitt in the sauna for almost 20 minutes! go to work, vacuum, go to Esperssohouse to buy breakfast and here I am. Enjoying the very best of my Wednesday with a fresh cup a joe´s and a scone...........

2008-02-25T10:59:00.001+01:00

I reallly really REALLY need to win the lottery..........

2008-02-24T21:43:00.002+01:00

Last night in Sigtuna

2008-02-24T11:23:00.002+01:00

After eating moms delicious chicken, me and Tessan decided to go down to the local restaurant/bar to meet up with some of her friends. Dad drowe us down since it was very windy. Some girl had her B-day dinner and we all went over to the lounge to have some drinks.

Mered and Bibbi were supposed to have a cousines night out in STHLM but ended up just the 2 of them at Helene´s krog having dinner and wine. After a couple of hours Mered came to Blå to join us afer dropping Bibbi of at his parents house. (For those of you who doesn´t know, Bibbi is Mereds cousine)

At the moment I´m sitting in my parents kitchen waiting for Mered to come and pick me and Tessan up so we can drive ALL THE WAY BACK TO MALMOEEEEEEE. First coffee and then about 6 or 7 hours in the car. Yeay! Thank God for good company......

Sigtuna weekend

2008-02-23T19:03:00.004+01:00

Hey people! Guess what! I´m back on the web blogging again! I know you´ve heard it before. I got a suckerpunch yesterday when I went to see friends that I suck keeping promises about blogging. So now I´m here again, making yet another promise to start blogging. Since I have SUCH an interesting life I mean...ha ha ha.

Anyways, the reason why I started blogging again is because yesterday I made a promise to Mimi and Lina that I would start again. Well, Mimi shouldn´t be talking, just because she JUST started blogging again after....hmmm...let me see.... A YEAR! ha ha ha. No but serioulsy, I love reading about other people and their lives so maby people want to read about mine.....

So I´ll start again. Friday, me Mered and Tessans started our road trip leaving Malmö at 7.40 in the morning. We were supposed to visit Mereds cousine that just had a baby but we found out as we were on our way up that she had a c section,( I have no idea how to spell that but you know what I mean)

She´s isn´t coming home until Sunday night so we won´t be able to see her or the baby. Next time....

We arrived in Märsta at 2 pm and decided to go to Bruno´s for a little tan. There are NO good tanning salons in Malmö. Christian really should start Bruno´s down there to! Then Mered dropped us of at our parents house in Sigtuna before he drove to his parents house.

Dinner with mom and dad and then I was off to Mimi with a bottle of wine. I haven´t seen her since I moved in July so we had alot of catching up to do. When I got there we called Lina over and we all ended up drinking wine a talking old memories. I love meeting my old friends. It´s like I never left. Mimi is getting married on April 10th so next time I see her she´ll be a married woman. Ha ha ha, you house wife you :=)

Today me and Tessan went to Uppsala to meet some of my old classmates. J is pregnant and she looked absolutely FANTASTIC! She´s only gained like 7kg and it´s only on her belly. She still goes to the gym and eats healty. I wanna be like her when I´m pregnant. It was really nice seeing all the girls again. I haven´t seen most of them since I finished school in...I think May! Wow, that long! I promised that it wouldn´t be that long until I would meet them again.

Then we took the train to Stockholm so I could buy hair to make new extentions when I come back to Malmö. Bibbi said she´s gonna do it on me some time next week. Yeay!!!! Coffee at our beloved Espessohouse and then the train back home to Sigtuna again..

At the moment I´m getting my hair done by lovely stylist. Not that I´m doing anything special tonight but she´s practising.....For school that is...

Hope your happy now Mimi and Lina....I promise I´ll blogg again tomorrow:=) Love you both..puss puss

New York here I come!

2007-11-28T17:00:00.000+01:00

Now it´s finally booked! My ticket for New York!!!! Yeay!

I leave on the 19th of December which is like tomorrow! Ok, not really but it feels like it!

I go from Copenhagen which is the nearst airport to Dublin and I have to wait there for about 4 hours before going to New York! I´m so excited to visit my sister! She´s been there for about 3 months or so. I´ll be there until the 22nd and we both fly to Jacksonville, Florida to my parents house to spend the Holidays there! It´s gonna be soooo much fun! All the sisters gathered again!

What else has happend....hmmmm....don´t know really. I went out last weekend. We went to Buddah Bar here in Malmö which had a club called "Honey" on Friday night. SUCH a good DJ, don´t know who he is but the music was fantastic. I wish I had pictures but as usual I forgot my camera!

Then on Saturday me and Mered went out for dinner at "Mando" and then for movie. We saw "American gangster". SUCH a good movie. You gotta go see it!

On Sunday we went to Bibbi´s parents house in Lund for Ethiopian food. I love it! We´ve decided that we´re all gonna have dinner together once a month and me and Mered, well ok I, am going to bake something. So this time I made "kärleksmums". Yummy.

and today it´s Wednesday and I´m in Helsingborg as usul. Papi is coming to visit on Friday and I´m OFF TOMORROW!!! Yeay!!!!

2007-10-28T19:38:00.000+01:00

Now we´re finally starting to make a real home of our appartement! Today we went to IKEA to buy various forms of furniture to complete what we started about 3 months ago. Like now, we finally have light in our hallway! ha ha ha! We can acctually see what we have in our closet and see our selves in the mirror before we go to work in the morning!

This lovely lamp thingi I bought at Indiska.......

and since my favourite mirror broke we needed to do something with the frame! So the "blackboard" I bought at "Granit"

Other than that we didn´t do that much this weekend...Mered is on his way home from the airport right now. His brother, Yohannes is staying the week because they have "höstlov". Can´t even remember last time I was off a whole week last.....

Yester we went to Lund to visit Bibbis mom and dad because it was both their B day´s this week. We ate Ethiopian food and cheesecake which I made....

Soon I´m off to bed since tomorrow is Monday and that means......SPINNING!!!!

Monday blue

2007-10-22T20:15:00.000+02:00

Ever felt like Sundays are the worst day since you know the weekend is over and you have yet another week of work work and then some more work infront of you? That´s me, every single Sunday. But when Monday finally arrives and I walk into the studio I feel great. I really really love my job. I think I am one of the acctually lucky people in this world that really loves what they do for a living. Most of my friends complain each and everyday about their boss, their schedul or their co-workers but I´m just happy.

Other than beeing happy :=) today I didn´t do much. We were super busy at the studio today and my boss took me and Linda out for lunch and meeting and then coffee at Espressohouse. Nice:=)

Now, I´m headed for the couch ( is that the way to spell it? hmmm, doesn´t look right) anyways and in 40 minutes it´s CSI!!! Hopefully I´ll get my camera back tomorrow (BIBBI) and I´ll post some pictures. Ha ha ha ha.

Take care...

Malmö bo in the house

2007-08-11T11:39:00.000+02:00

Oh Lord. Alot has happend since I last wrote something here. First of all I´ve moved! Now I officially live in Malmö which for you that don´t know Swedish geography is down in the south very close to Denmarks capital Copenhagen. It´s only a trainride of 30 min over the bridge and I´m there! We decided to move in March after I had been down here for my Internship at Form och Figur and they offerd me a job in ssales and as an Instructor for their company. So after many many many disscusions at home I got Mered to move! We we´re so fortunate to get an awsome appartement in the middle of Malmö called Rösjöstaden. We have a huuuuuuge appartement on the 5th and top floor. " huuuuuge bedrooms. The appartement is 100 kvm! It´s enorus! Our last one was only 64 kvm.

And since Mered is on vacation in Atlanda I made his cousine and her little sister stay with me. Ha ha ha

2007-07-25T16:49:00.001+02:00

Oh my God......only one more day!!!!!

What a weekend!

2007-07-23T11:51:00.000+02:00

My God what a weekend! Did I blogg about Friday night? Maby I did? Yeah, I think so. When I went to Corner with Tessan. No, wait that was Thursday! Friday night I went to "Farbror Blå", the local restaurant in Sigtuna to have dinner with Mimi since she couldn´t come to the party on Saturday. So my sister tagged along and we all had a really nice dinner. After we had a "couple" of drinks and Tessans friends, Jonathan and Niklas joined us. But also my friend Tessan and her boyfriend Joel (remember them? from Corner Bar) they had been in Stockholm and now came to Sigtuna to have a drink and they bumbed into us! With them they had their friend, Sandra and who I thought was her boyfriend Roger? Nobody knows.......

Tessan & Niklas

Corner Bar

2007-07-20T10:39:00.000+02:00

Last night a got a call from Tessan saying that she and her boyfriend were on their way to Märsta! I haven´t seen her in a really long time and I never meet her boyfriend. So we decided to meet at the local bar called the Corner Bar. Her boyfriend turned out to be the sweetest guy! Very charming! and they look sooooo good together!
Another friend of Tessans, Camilla, she´s been on the blogg before from one of the parties I had at home, also joined! Now I´m off to Sigtuna to prepare for the BBQ tomorrow!

Gröna Lund!

2007-07-17T13:27:00.000+02:00

Yes, I know. I lost it again. The writing touch. But I´ve been working people! But today is my last day! Moving next week! It´s so strange! I can´t belive it! The appartement looks like, well, I don´t know how to explain it more than KAAAAA-BOOOM!

Anyways, I took a break in all the moving, packing, and cleaning process and decided to go to the Sean Paul concert with Tessie. But when we got on the train we had the most brillian idea! w decided to go to Gröna Lund instead! For you non Swedes Gröna Lund is Stockholm amusement park with roller costers and stuff. We had so much fun! and because of the chicken that I am we only went on 2 rides! ha ha ha. But the roller coaster was the most fun. I think we went on it about 10 times!

Enjoy the picures! ha ha ha ha

Spelning @ Blå

2007-07-04T11:05:00.000+02:00

I know, I´m late again. What happend during the weekend you wonder? Well, I didn´t work so we spent Saturday night in Sigtuna at Farbror Blå which is a local restaurant owned by a friend. During the summers the arrange for a local band called, Pellles veranda, to come and play and everytime it´s a big hit. Even though everyone thought it was going to rain the sun came though a couple of times

Now I´m off for lunch with my sisters.....

Dinner with granny

2007-06-29T13:11:00.000+02:00

My grandmother is here. She lives in England (by choice) and every summer she comes to Sweden to stay with our and my uncles family in Saltsjöbaden. And every year it´s the same story. How she is miserable in England and that nobody comes to visit her. HELLO!!! you chose to live there! We all live over here!!! But she hates Sweden. We all make our own beds. Thank you! Anyways, yesterday me, Tessan, Mulle mom and granny went for dinner at the Boathouse in Sigtuna. It used to be this georeus restaurant with food that made you mouth water just when thinking about it. But somehow it´s lost it´s touch. Sure, the food is good but not as it used to be.

Went for a walk with my sister and saw this car. Man we were lauging for a loong looong time. Ha ha ha

Birthday party!!

2007-06-22T10:09:00.000+02:00

One year older. Again. People think that I have a complex for getting older. I used to. But after turning 25 it´s not a big deal. I can imagine the day I turn 29 I will get an axiety attack but not now. Ha ha ha!

We celebrated my B day on the day before since Mulle had to work so early on Friday morning. It was just supposed to be a quiet dinner for me, my sisters and Mered. We ended up 11 of us and then Johanna ( one of my friends from school) joined us. We had the best dinner ever at a restaurant called Grill in Stockholm. The food was amazing, the drinks where amazing, the staff was amazing! Just go there!

Oslo family weekend

2007-06-18T10:00:00.000+02:00

So....now...where do I start? Well, the reason we went to Norway this weekend was because it was my grandmothers 80th birthday (my dads mom) So the whole family, yes THE WHOLE FAMILY went to Norway! We left on Friday morning, well, me and Tessan left then to get a head start on the shopping:) No, Mulle had to work so mom waited for her and since dad works in Norway he was already there. Anyways, me and Tessan left on Friday morning and met dad at the airport and he took all of our bag and then we hit town:) We took the bus in and spent to whole day shopping! It was supposed to be bad weather but the sun was shining and it was about 18 degrees so thanks alot SMHI. Then later on we meet up with mom, dad and Mulle and went for dinner at "Front" at Akker Brygge in Oslo. After that we meet an old friend of my dads from SAS who owns a boat that is docked at Akker Brygge so we took a trip with his boat. It was amazing! We got to see Oslo from the waterside!!! A personal 2 hour boat tour on a Friday night, that´s not bad!!!

Then I meet up with an old friend from HIM in Schwitzerland! Eileen was in autumn batch and now lives in Oslo with her boyfriend (who I didn´t get a chance to meet) but I met alot of her drunk co-workers from the hotel that she works at as a Sales Manager. I miss you Eileen! I´ll see you in a couple of weeks again!!!

On Saturaday the shopping continued and then in the evening we went for dinner with some of my sisters friends from Lyon at "Beach club". The picture is of Mulle and her boyfriend Jeffrey who is such a sweetheart. He lives in Paris at the moment doing his Internship so Mulle unfortunanly has to go there to visit him:)
After dinner we left Norway to go to Sande where my grandmother lives. We spent the night at her old house (she now lives in a new built appartement "down town" ha ha ha) so that she wouldn´t know that we were there! So Sunday morning we went to her appartement and surprised her! She got so happy! I haven´t seen her in about 3 years I think.

So we ate lots and lots of food and CAKE!!! It was sooooo gooood! Wans´t it Tessie;)

and then we took the fllight home........

2007-06-13T15:01:00.000+02:00

We left the harbour yesterday and stayed the night on an island called Grinda. Now I´m off to the gym with my sisters and tomorrow we´re going shopping. Going to Oslo, Norway on Friday for the weekend to see my friend Eileen and to celebrate my grandmothers 80th bday!!

Well, last week I went to Malmö because WE FINALLY FOUND AN APPARTEMENT!! Í´m so happy. I have picture of it but because we don´t live there yet I don´t know if I´m allowed to publish them? Anyways, it´s a 2 bedroom appartement on the top floor in the middle of Malmö. For those of you that don´t know I got a job in the south of Sweden and therefore me and Mered are moving in August. I got a job as a manager for the gym that I did my last Internship at. and Malmö is, I think, the third largest city in Sweden? Hmmmm, not really sure.

Anyways, tonight was my grandfathers 87 B day so the whole family was there exept my dad.

2007-05-29T21:15:00.000+02:00

Today was the last day of school!!! It´s so amazing how fast all the courses has passed. The personal training course went by too fast. I learnt soooo much during theses 4 weeks. The only thing left now is our class party on Friday night at Linas house and then on Monday we have a competition between the 4 classes from our school. I´m not participatining. Just having some wine in the park. Ha ha ha ha, I love it.

Hectic weekend

2007-05-27T22:03:00.000+02:00

Again the weekend passed too fast. On Thursday night Bibbi(Mereds cousine from Malmö) arrived and we stayed up half of the night chatting as usual. Then on Friday we went to Sigtuna to my friend Lena (from my class) to do her hair. Bibbi does hair extentions and since she was coming to Stockholm for the engagement party she did some work aswell. Lenas hair turned out really well. And yesterday morning another friend from the class, Lina, came over and Bibbi did her hair too. It turned out great!
Then in the evening it was Yohannes B day (oh yea, I wrote about that already. Didn´t I?) ha ha ha ha. Anyways, we had alot of fun. Then yesterday we celebrated my mothers Bday, that is today, but since she left for France we celebrated it yesterday. Cheesecake turned out ok. Probably won´t do that again.

Today, Sunday, Rosie came over and Bibbi did her hair aswell. Poor girl. Three people in three day! and she has to go back to work tomorrow! The rest of the day I spent cleaning the house. Ha ha ha, after a weekend like this I needed it.

Now I just came back from a walk with my friend Tessan and we had coffee and bullar on the balcony. Then Mulle came. She´s going to La France tomorrow so she wanted to borrow a sweater so we ended up drinking tea and chatting. She just left and Mered is at the movied with a friend so I´m gonna take a bath and hit the sack. Have a looooong day tomorrow! 2 more days of school!!!

B-day boy!!

2007-05-26T11:39:00.001+02:00

So now he´s finally 18. No more trying to sneak into clubs. He´s Mered´s younger brother,Yohannes! Last night we all celebrated his Bday with drinks at our house and at midnight we went to his parents house to eat cake and drink champagne at the strike of midnight becuase it´s not until today that he´s 18.

After having cake we went to our local bar called Kung Karl to continue the celebration but the bar closed at 2 am so we danced as much as we could, and then we had to leave.. But for once they acctually played good music!!

Tomorrow it´s my mothers B-day and Mothers Day but since she´s going to Nice we´re celebrating it tonight. I even made cheesecake!!! I´ll post a picture of it tomorrow!!! ha ha ha.

Schlager fever!

2007-05-13T15:11:00.000+02:00

In Sweden once a year we all have to go trough someting called "Eurovision song contest". For all you non european I´ll lay it out for you.

Every year, each country has a singing competition and the winner get to go to the big finale!!! and that´s whats called the Eurovision song contest. This year it was held in our neighbour county Finland. Sweden had, for once, a pretty good song so I accutally thought we had a chance. Ha ha haha, but boy was I wrong. Stupid ass Balkan countries kicked our ass. They announced before hand that they were all going to vote for eachother so no other European country could win!!! How about that! Nice. Real competition spirit, ha ha ha. Well, it all ended up with Russia voting for Georgia that voted for Romania that voted for Lithuania that voted for.....you get my drift. I´m not even gonna mention who won. The song sucked ass anyways....

But the evening on the otherhand was really nice! I spent it in Stockholm at my friend Johanna and her boyfriend, Lars house. They just bought an AMAZING appartement in the heart of Stockholm and it´s absolutely georgeus!! I wish I had taken more picture. Lots of wine, pizza, ostbågar and the we went to the hotel to get some sleep. I went to Johannas hotel with Maria from my class and Ida, a friend of hers and they were staing at a hotel in Stockholm becuase they were on a conferance! Nice. And what does sleeping at a hotel mean?? HOTEL BREAKFAST!!! Best thing in the whole world I tell you!

This morning when I came home I went to yoga with my mom and then I went fruit shopping. Now I´m just waiting for the clock to hit 21,25 cuz that´s when my little Mollie lands at Arlanda!!!!

Last weekend!

2007-05-12T09:43:00.000+02:00

Hey people!

Haven´t been writing in a while because Mered left for Malmö and the second he did, the computer broke down. Ok well it didn´t really break down, I was vacuuming and I must have touched something, don´t know what, and the screen went black and wouldn´t come back on!!!

But here I am!

So what happend? ummm, well Bibbi and her sister was here and after we did my hair and went for coffee we went to Systembolaget, Swedens own liqourshop) and bought vodka for the night. Tessan and her friend Camilla came over as did Patrik and Rosie and a bit later Emelie came from work. We had such a nice time. I haven´t seen Camilla in years! She works as a teacher and been travelling in the past years and it was amazing listening to her stories.

Then we went out and we had such a nice time even if we went to Kung Carl! Ha ha ha ha. It´s probably because of the state we were in!

But that feels like ages ago! Now it´s Saturday again!! Tonight I´m going to Stockholm to visit my friend Johanna. Even Maraijah from my class is coming and a friend of hers, Madde, and we are going to watch the Eurovision song contest. Ha ha ha. That is so not me but what don´t you do for your friends. ha ha ha ha.

Well, gonna eat breakfast now. Then go for a jogg before cleaning.....suck...

hairday!

This morning I went to my mother-in-laws house to meet Bibbi (Mered´s cousine). She said to be there at 10 am but were was everyone when I showed up? SLEEING!! When you tell a Swedish person to meet you a certain hour you can be sure that that person will be there. ESPECIALLY when that person went to school in Switzerland. An Ethiopian on the other hand will be 1-3 hours late and not understand why your´re angry. Ha ha ha, but I can´t be angry at an Awoke. Ha ha ha.

Anyways, so Bibbi did the extentions and then we drow to Sigtuna to "Catto" which is my favourite hairdresser in the world! Now I look amazing!!

Then we went for coffee at a place called "Myntet" in Sigtuna where my friend Emelie works. Tomorrow it´s P.A.R.T.Y!!!

Sickla

Me and my mom have a new favourite place! We found it last week and it´s just outside of Stockholm called "Sickla Köpmnakvarter" which is big shoping center! My mom has a friends that went there once and loved it! So last week when we went there we found this awsome restaurant which I can recommend to everyone! It´s got organic food that they make everyday! Everything from lunh to cake to bread! It´s wonderful!! I love it!!! And we found our new favourite interior decorating shop called "Indori". The people that own it tours around the world to find special things that they decide to import to Sweden but only one or two pieces of every item. My mom bought this beautiful wood thing to put on the wall. Too bad I will never be rich enough to ever buy anything from that shop. Ha ha ha ha.

Valborg in Rosersberg

2007-05-01T11:01:00.000+02:00

Last day of April is the "day of the big bon-fire" in Sweden. In other terms means that every living sould in Sweden is getting drunk. It´s usually a day for all university students but it´s become a day for everyone else too.

To me (this day which is also called "Valborg") Valborg is always celebrated with a big BBQ with friends because my boyfriends cousine celebrates his B-day. So yesterday we went to Patriks house in Rosersberg wich is about a 10 minute drive from our place. Usually it´s very difficult to get all of our friends togther at the same time but yesterday we acctually managed! Unbelievable!

The best part about the evening was that I managed to get a clip of two of my friends "trying" to dance and I put it on youtube. Ha ha ha ha! By the way; this is NOT how we dance in Sweden

Beautiful Sunday

2007-04-30T11:19:00.000+02:00

Yesterday was one of the best days in a long time. You know how Sundays are all about lazying around, going for a beautiful walk in the sunshine, drinking a latte on the balcony and eating "bullar"?. Well that was my Sunday yesterday and I spent it with one of my oldest and best friends, Tessan. It was such a nice day.

and then I had to go to work........

Last night we had a party at Marajiahs place to celebrate that we finished our economics course. It was supposed to be me, Marajiah and Helena but Joanna, Em, Pärra, Danne, Johan (and his roomie Stefan), Per and his friend Samuel showed up. We had bought a liter of vodka that we thought was gonna be more then enough but when we woke up this morning we realized that it was empty! Have to say then also that all the people that came had brought beer, wine and more vodka! I can´t belive how this happend. Well my head could probably explain it this morning. Ha ha ha ha. But we had a really really nice time!

Now I´m about to hit she shower then off to my parents house to watch "Stina".

Weekend and the sun won´t stop shining in Sweden. Life is wonderful!

Yesterday I went to the local pub to see me friend Tessan. We had a couple of drinks and then another of our friends, Baggy came along. He was on his way to his mothers house for dinner but decided to stay and have a beer with us. 10 minutes later, another friend, Christian, showed up. He and Baggy are neighbours and they live on the same street as me.

A couple of drinks later Mered came from worked and joined us. The whole night just came together so nice. I don´t understand why I´m not more spontanious? Just haning with friends, chatting, drinking and enjoying the weather!

This morning wasn´t as nice thoug. ha ha ha. I went to the gym for some dance aerobic and then for a looooong looooong walk in the sunshine. It´s gotta be like 1 million degrees outside!

2 more hours and I have to go to work!!!!

Back to school today. Economy. Not really my favourit subject but soon it is all over! Over I tell you! Doing a project with Linn and Marajiah that is due in about 2 week and after that it´s the personal training course! That is going to be so much fun!

After school today me, Marajiah and Helena (picture above) went for coffee at "Barista" behind our school and as we´re sitting there, chatting away, a couple of reporters from one of the news pappers showed up and asked if one of us wanted to be "student of the week" for their papper!!!! And you know me! I don´t say no to get my mug shown in the papper! Hello papparazzi!!!! I don´t know if it´s gonna be on the webb. If not I´ll cut it out and scan it in and put it on the blogg. Apparently it´s for next week! Yeay!

The other picture of the day is of me and Mered. He took out his brades and his hair got all frizzy. He´s so sexy.....yummi!

EASTER!!!

2007-04-08T22:34:00.000+02:00

Easter went by quickly this year. Probably because none of my sister were at home this year. Every year we go "egg hunting" for our easter eggs out in our parents garden. I know, I know, I AM 26 years old but it´s TRADITION people. You just don´t give those up. But since it was only me at home this year we decided not to have the hunt. Do your read this sisters? No egg hunt because of YOU TWO!!!! *angry eye*

So instead I went with my parents to buy stuff for the house. The are renovating what seems like every room (I think it IS every room). Then in the evening my mom made an amazing dinner with lamb and then we just watched some tv.

Today, Sunday, me and Mered went to his parents house for an Ethiopian easter lunch. My God, I don´t think I have to eat again until Tuesday or something. It was so good. Now we just got back from the movies. Saw Jim Carreys new movie called "the number 23". It was ok. Better to download then to spend you money going to the movies.

So that was my Easter. How was yours? Tomorrow is Monday and a holiday in Sweden so no school until Tuesday. Spring cleaning the house tomorrow and then Body Pump in the afternoon.

2007-04-01T13:27:00.000+02:00

Yet another weekend went by. This one has been craaaazy fun! On Thursday night, Mereds cousine from Malmö, Bibbi (the one I lived with in Malmö) came up. So this weekends has been about partying, eating junk food and watching movies! It´s been soooo nice!

And this morning we woke up to the sunnies day ever! and it´s so warm outside that we went for coffee at the airport and sat OUTSIDE without freezing!

So now it´s all about cleaning and doing laundry. Man I have alot of laundry. But I´m off tomorrow so I´ll do it then. (talk about procrastinating) ha ha ha ha

2007-03-26T19:53:00.000+02:00

First day back at school. It was ok. Nothing special. It was really nice seeing all my friends again after such a long time. We left for Internship in December before Christmas and everyone has been doing different things and been in different cities so it´s been difficult to see eachother.

So we started out with Economics and the course is for 5 weeks. The in May we´re doing the Personal Training course.

So many things has happend since we last saw eachother. Both J and L moved, Jo gor engaged, T´s belly has grown so much (having a baby anytime!!!) H broke up with her boyfriend...

And then it´s me....nothing special happend. Ha ha ha.

Saturday I went for drinks with T which is one of my oldest and dearest friends. We´ve know eachother since way way way back and we´ve always kept in touch. She´s now a nurse and works in U but she´s moving back to her boyfriend again in June. We always have a nice time nomatter what we do or where we end up. I love you always....:)

So, again it´s Friday. It´s unbelievable how fast the weeks passes now when spring is here. Well, spring came and left again cuz now the weather is really crappy and cold in Sweden. Supposed to get nice on Sunday.

Today I went to Stockholm with my mom. Shopping. I had to buy a new white shirt for tomorrow. Doing the job for ICA (Sweden´s largest grocery chain) where I´m the project manager for the one in Sollentuna (suburb to Stockholm). Every ICA is having a huge event tomorrow all over Swden at the same time. It´s going to be so cool!

Going back to school on Monday I so don´t wanna! The only good thing is that we have the personal training educ. in May. I CAN´T WAIT! so excited. And my sissi is coming home in April, after Easter. (maby) I hope so. And Tessan, the other sissi is coming home in June! so exciting!!!
