Cold Christmas walk

Today it was freezing cold, so we took a 15 minute looooong walk just because it looked so beautiful outside.





Pictures were taken by the oh so talented LO.

Coming up next, My BEST X-MAS GIFTS!





What a beautiful day.

I´ve been wanting to write this entry since Wednesday evening but there have been no time.
Let´s go back to the 22nd of December. I was a little nervous this past Wednesday because we had a flight in the afternoon to go “home”, actually to an airport 80 km from Husum where Im from. The last 3-4 weeks
I have desprately been wanting to leave, ´specially since my dad got hurt (see the 2nd post)
But of course a STORM was schduled for Wednesday afternoon exactly when our flight was, so we weren´t 100 % sure weather or not the plane could leave.

Anyway, let´s start from the beginning of this day who turned out to be wondeful. I get to work and after a couple of minutes being there our “marketing director”, or whatever title he has, comes in to my room and asks : “If you could choose, what of these two things would you want? ” showing me a box with a Nokia cellphone and a Canon digital camera. I answered back thinking he was going to give them to some customer “The digital camera of course!” and then he goes “Ok, Merry X-mas, you can have it then”. I sat there with my mouth dropped to the floor telling him he gots to be joking. He wasn´t. And I am a very happy owner of this digital camera
I still can´t believe it, Im so amped. And it works really well.

A couple of hours later one of my sales managers offered me a ride to the airport since he was going to pick up his son, perfect. No one hour SL trip in horrible weather. Simple great.
So we got to the airport in time, no delays even though the weather was far from great.
To make a long story short, our flight ended up being more than 2 hours delayed, but we were lucky enough to be on a flight that actually could land at the airport in Umeå...some flight the same day got there and had to head back to Stockholm due to the landing conditions.
My poor uncle and dad had to wait for 2 hours though even though it took them forever to drive in the storm up to the airport, and they were late to their hockey practice...oh well, at least we got home safe.

And finally home I had the pleasure to finally take care of my dad and his broken arm. He had the stiches removed from the 25 cm scar a week ago but since then he hadn´t removed all the tejp over it since my mom wasn´t feeling up to it. She wasn´t sure if she could take seeing it, so I HAD TO DO IT.
Yep, I had to act the nurse and I was so happy to. 45 minuts I spent carefully removing the small tejp pieces from his scar while my dad kept yelling at me saying how slow it goes and that I need to be careful. Let´s just say if he had done this at the hospital it would have taken 10 minutes and they wouldn´t care how much it hurt him. He did admit this after we were done, when I all of a sudden was the best thing since sliced bread.
Its totally fine, he is hurt. He can be an ass as much as he want.

Okey, moving on. Yesterday I spent the whole day being the good girl, making X-mas chocolate (I always eat all of it myself), decorating the X-mas tree, went shopping food, and made dinner. And taking my dads order all the time, getting this and getting that. But its all good, he is hurt...



In the evening we all (mom, dad, Dee and I ) went to my sister (see pic above) to have a little “the day before X-mas eve get together". When we got there in the snow storm that had started again, my parents remebered that their favorite program on TV was on with a X-mas special all evening. It´s a bingo show and they had forgot there bingo lottery things at the house, so I had to head back home and get it. When my sister and I got back 10 minutes later the next rather big problem is that the TV channel isn´t working. Its all snowey and impossible to watch.
So...my dad thinks the problem is all the snow on the satilite that is standing further up the street, and he thinks that my sister and I should go outside in the storm and remove some of the snow.
Surrrrre, we said. Its not going to help!
But no, my dad WANTS us to try. And come on, he is hurt. We can´t say no. So we put on some clothes, I grab my 5 year old Nephew´s hat and my sister puts on her own hat that makes her look like a 5 year old.
And we head out like the soldiers we are. With a constant laughing sister I grab a snowshuffle and walk up the street hoping none of her neighbours will see us. Did I mentioned what the weather was like???


Unfortunately I didn´t bring my camera so I could take a picure of us operating...but Im sure you can imagine how much it helped to remove some snow from a super big satilite. No, it didn´t do shit, but it sure was fun.



Its Christmas Eve and its time to take a shower and dress up!

More to come soon, Im sure...

This is a sick movie. Fortunately this past weekend I was much more lucky on the movie tip.
The boyfriend mentioned something about a guy claiming he´s from another planet and I was like "don´t want to see that" but as soon as the film started playing I could tell by the way it was filmed that it looked like a good movie. And it was. One of my favorite movies actually.

That´s all for now, have to EAT.
Next up, review of Daniels debut album...Okay that was an exaggeration. There is nothing to review, my comments on his album.




World "class"

One of the staff at my gym, a girl, seem to have beef with me for some reason, and I have no friggin idea why. It feels kinda weird, everytime I walk in she stands at the reception and totally ignores me...When other people come in she says hello in a very cheerful way but I have to walk up to the reception and loudly say "Hi there" to get some attention.
Don´t exactly know when this "hate" started, but the first time I noticed her lack of customer service orientation was when I took my sister who was visiting to the gym to take a class with me . The week before I asked the guy who signed the contract with me (Ted) how much its cost to take a class if you are not a member , and he told me that he will give me two free passes for my sister.
Great. Then the second time we came to the gym that weekend hater girl tells me unless my sister is going to start at the gym you can´t have two free passes. I kindly told her that Ted said it was okay, he had approved to let my sister work out for free twice just to be nice. With an irritated look on her face she said "okay, fine".
After this weekend I noticed that she was everything but nice whenever I came in to the the gym, like the rest of the staff very much is. She is trying her hardest to ignore my presence.

Another example of her "hate". I have lost both my locks at the gym so therefore the last couple of weeks I have a few times asked to borrow one, and it have been no problemo. They have a bunch of locks since people like me have a tendency to lose things. So last week I get to the gym and ask her if I can borrow a lock, she replies "No, you can only buy a lock, not borrow one" I of course wanted to tell her that's weird seeing that it has been no problem with the other people but nice as I am I said okay and brought my jacket and bag with me into the gym thinking perhaps they have changed their "rules".

Then last Saturday the most amazing thing happened, I came out of a Body Pump class, and I heard her voice (the way it sounds like when she talks to everyone else but me) saying "How did it go??" I looked around to see if she was actually talking to me, and she WAS. I was so surprised I forgot how to answer a question so I was quiet for a second and then I told her I´m glad it´s over.

So IM thinking she has finally realized what a great person I am and has decided to do her job that she´s getting paid for = being nice with the customers who pays 449 damn krones a month to work out at their gym.
but nooooo, I was wrong. This past week she is back at totally ignoring me. And I want to add that the other day I asked the manager at the gym again if I could borrow a lock, and he said "of course, no problem".

Sigh, females are mentally instable haters.

And seeing that I am one myself, I know very well what Im talking about.

Thank you Jessica.


I have sometimes felt a little bad over the fact that I can never answer people when they ask what my favorite movie is...I simple don't have a favorite movie. Which is slightly disturbing seeing that I always have very strong opinions about things (Yes love I know, even things I don't know anything about,´specially those) but I'm happy to let the world know that now I at least can answer to the question "what's the worse film you ever watched?"

Thank you Miss Alba, your terrible attempt to act as a chorographer...actually to act in general...in Honey was the most horrific shit I ever seen.
And the fact that every single person along with you had absolute no talent for acting at all didn't make things better.
As a matter of fact the only purpose this movie can possible have is to work as an example for someone who doesn't know the meaning of the word "stereotypes"



"You’re coming in and out, in and out, and out of my life

Trying to patch up the old memories of trouble and strife
You’re telling me, oh, please, baby, I’m so very sorry
Come with something better, are you ever, ever, ever gonna change..."

Ahh, you´re sorry now
with Zhané. This was ONE of my favorite songs in 94. Tess, did you see how i wrote "one" of my favorite songs? Seeing that you always point out that I have a lot of "favorite" songs. And in 94 I certainly did. The number of favorite songs I´ve had this past year I had every week back then.




These two ladies need to come back.
I really liked "Pronounced Jah-Nay" and "SaturdayNight" with songs like Crush, Temporary Thing and Love Me today. Hey Mr. D.J. and Groove Thang kept me in my 5m2 room for hours dancing until sweatdrops almost dropped from the ceiling.


Todays dish and clothes washing became less of a chore listening to these two albums.




Lazy Saturday evenings

after a whole day of cleaning the place, there is nothing better.

Too bad I/we haven´t quite gotten there yet, Im stuck in front of the computer trying to learn how to add links into my posts (which might take all day the way its going at the moment) and the man is playing Madden (yawn).

The family back home in Husum went to see my dad´s team Husum Hockey for the first time after his accident when coaching this team. My 5 year old nephew Oliver also met up with his grandpa for the first time after he got hurt, and this was according to my mom very weird and uncomfortable for him. In the car when they came and picked up my sister and him he just sat all quiet (for once) and didn´t wanna look at my dad or his arm. After an hour into the game though he went and sat down next to my dad, and stayed there for the rest of the game just hugging him. Awww, I thought that was so cute!

Tonight its time to rent some movies and just snuggle up. And I have decided that I want to see some garbage like that dance movie with Jessica "whats her name who was the main star in the wack ass dark angel show"...I seriously doubt that THE MAN will let me rent that one though.

Now, back to cleaning.

As soon as I started this blog...

I all of a sudden have nothing that I wanna share.
I never been the type of person who likes writing stuff down, couldn´t use
a calendar to remember my homework in school, can´t use one now either for work.
Can´t even remember to write down my hours every day. The only diary I ever had was around the age 15, and I started that for the purpose of documenting how much I had worked out each day. Basically, dear diary, today i had a 2 hour soccer practice and I did 150 sit-ups. Uh...thats´s deep.

Speaking of sports, Im very happy that my dad came home from the hospital on wednesday after a operation since he fell on the ice last week during his hockey practice and broke his arm in 5 places. My poor dad, I was so upset. Talked to mom last night and he has already planned to go and see some hockey tonight, I just hope he stays away from the ice and even if he does I want him to wear a helmet!
Appearently the 6 days he spent in the hospital has made him lose a couple of pounds, but after two days at home they are all back! Too bad. But as long as he is feeling better its all good.

Now to sit and stare at the computer at work without glasses...

Who can resist having a pink/purple blog?

My boyfriend has told me lately to start a blog, at times I thought it sounded like a good idea seeing that I often find myself talking to myself...Loud even....but at the same time I have reminded myself that I do suffer from some slight A.D.D. symtoms so what's the point.
Its does takes a few minutes of concentrating.
But then today, HE showed me that I can have a pink and purple blog, and I just couldn´t help to get right into it!

So, I think I will officially start my blog tomorrow, just the little stuff I just wrote has made me totally exhausted.

Peace!
