"reinventing the wheel to run myself over"...

another weekend has passed. quickly and unnoticed.
spent friday night at mum's place, had the best dinner ever and went to work the morning after.
saturday. a good day. work was good, the afternoon i spent baking was good, the evening/night was awesome!
hung out with my friends from high school, ordered pizza, i accidentally shop lifted (which totally shouldn't be seen as shop lifting, cuz as soon as i realized the fact that i hadn't payed for the bread roll, i turned around and walked back into the store and payed it, while my friends were laughing their asses off i might add...)
well, after that little episode of drama, we went back to david's place, played a board game and watched an old movie, a goood night!
spent today scrap booking, i probably have like a zillion pics to take care of, and today was a start, and it was fun! :D i'm probably gonna get sick of it b4 i even get to my year in LA, but it has to be done!
well, no work this week, turned out the boss had given us too many hours and now he has to cut back a little.. i don't really care, cuz starting oct 16th, i'm getting 75% plus five weeks payed vacation every year! (usually it takes like a year to even get considered for that, so i've been hella lucky!) don't know how long i'll stick around tho, lisa and i are talking about doing a south america-trip and maybe even extend it to an all america-trip, including the caribbean and USA!!:)
but that's probably not until next fall tho..
i might go to kalmar this week and work at siba there, the boss asked me if i wanted to and i'm looking forward to it, it's a really good opportunity to see how other stores work..

well, anyways.. time for sleep

someday, someday soon...!



okey, so i just found out that alter bridge is playing in London january 26th, and there's no way i'm gonna miss it this time!


I'm hoping to be able to persuade maddie to come along, and maybe mike to.:) otherwise i'll just go on my own! :D




the week has passed by quickly again. went down to lund and malmö and met ida, lisa and nik! it was wonderful to see them again, and i hope it won't be too long until next time!




then it's been all work work work and i don't mind, cuz i really like it!. starting oct 16th, i'm getting 75% for sure, scheduled time! (right now i'm basically just working hours, even tho they tend to be many)


spending the weekend at my mum's, which i'm looking forward to a lot, haven't seen her in a couple of weeks!.. well, i think that's all for today..
and i miss you, everyday and everynight, but someday, i'll be back

i'm officially moving in!

it's official, my sister and i are gonna be roomies, or at least "apartmentieees" :)

I'm moving in this weekend, and will be paying half of the rent from now on and it feels good, i think i wont feel as much like a visitor in someone else's house from now on...


we've planned some changes to make my room more livable,as an example i'm getting a little set of drawers where i can put my clothes and a shelf of my own in the bathroom, PLUS emmily is probably gonna move her "office/computer room" from my room into the spare room..

(if u're wondering the apartment is pretty big, two bedrooms, one livingroom, a big kitchen and another room (which we use as a "hobby/sewing/storage room") and of course a bathroom..;)


the week passed quickly.. on thursday i hung out with olof after work, we made dinner for his family and then took a bike ride down to the lake and enjoyed an ice cream..:)

Friday night was spent with my marie, we did nothing really, just talked for hours..:D

<3

tonight we're going daaaancing! yeye! Some ppl are coming here first, and we're gonna have dinner and some dance lessons for the beginners.. ih! it's gonna be fun fun fun!

and tomorrow, it's off to my dad's, just to hang out and chill for a little, and monday is the day when i go to Lund to visit Lisa and NIK! (who's visiting from LA!!!) looking forward to seeing him a lot, speaking english again and just remember the good old times!


time to start preparing dinner, todeloooo!

the best weekend this far






so, the weekend thar just passed was by far the best since i came back from the states!



as u all know, my sisters and i went to örnsköldsvik to go to the dance marathon.. which means that we danced bugg and foxtrot for about 8,5 hours two nights in a row..



and for all of u that don't know where ö-vik is, here are some facts:

  • The distance between Växjö and Ö-vik is about 95 swedish miles, or 950 km, or 594 miles..
  • It takes about 10 hours to drive from V-ö to Ö-vik (including a couple of stops)
  • Ö-vik is located in the north part of sweden, waaay up north.. in NORRLAND.. which is pretty cool, cux ppl there don't say yes, they just inhale some air really quickly and loudly..:)






anyways, dancing for 16 hours was sooo much fun! i loved it and i'm probably going to another dance marathon in october, in Hudiksvall( "only" 700 km (437 miles) up north) ! yey!



some ppl ask me who i dance with, and i tell them "everyone", and it's true, even tho i try to dance more with the younger guys than the older men, but it doesn't really matter as long as they can dance. :D



had a couple of favorites, and they were just freaking awesome, almost too good to be true.. there's something called a "dance crush" (you get a crush on someone just bcuz they're such good dancers), and i still have one.. ih, that guy really could dance, i tell u that!:)

and just to prove that we are mentally ill, my sisters and i stopped by a dance place on our way back on sunday, just to dance a little more..:) hihi, my body was not as sore as i thought it would be, and both my knees and my shoulder could handle the phsyical abuse that i put them through..:)yey!

anyways, time to get back to reality.. laundrytime!

sing for lilfe, sing for looove, lalalallaaa

today was, even tho i had a depressing morning, a good day..!
much thank to my lovely marie:)
bowling kinda became second priority while we discussed the most important happenings in our lives, who's dating who and whatever was on our minds..
grabbed a snack at "askelyckan" ( a cosy little coffee shop downtown) and just talked and hung out, it's been waaay to long!
LOVE

dad and i went over to visit my grand dad, who's han an hip operation done, for a little while b4 my sister came to pick me up to go to choir practice! OMG, you may think, and yes.. it was a first, but it was fun! seems like a good way to keep developing my voice, and i get to spend some more time with my sisters..:) anyways, it's a gospel choir, so all the songs are really good and fun to sing!

well, time for bed.. i have a rediculously long day at work tomorrow..
(staff meeting after closing)

sleeptightyouguys!

today, everything seems too far away





a day off work and all of a sudden my "homesickness" comes back and settles in my stomach..


feels like i've been away from "home" more than a month, feels more like.. i dunno, maybe 3 or 4 .. weird.


i miss all of you over there and the fun times we had together, i miss playing v-ball, i miss dancing like crazy at brennan's, i miss going to my italian class with the guys, i miss riding my dear bike along the beach, i miss the BEACH and the sun and the palm trees...


saw something on TV from Santa Monica yesterday, and it felt like someone just had run a knife through my heart.. gosh..




well, today is a brand new day and seeing marie for the first time in 7 months is probably gonna make everything feel a lot better!


<3




hold me when i'm here,
right me when i'm wrong,
hold me when i'm scared,
and love me when i'm gone

it's raining men...or not..

shit and OMG and wtf and WHY does it rain all the F***ing time???

seriously, why oh whyyy doesn't the rain stop falling? It's been raining all day long, and probably all of yesterday too.. and it sucks, for sure!
no wonder ppl here get depressed during fall, the sun never shows! baaaaaaaaah

so, the weekend passed almost unnoticed.. worked all day on friday and spent the night at emilia's, we had a good night, just like old times :)
worked saturday, got home to my sister's, waited there for about an hour b4 we went to my mum's place to have family dinner.. i was, so to speak, the 7th wheel.. ( my mum and her boyfriend plus my two sisters and their boyfriends.. me and my tragic single life..) so i decided to do something about the situation and went to a party instead.. my old class mate turned 20, and in sweden, 20 is something to celebrate! :) it was fun and after a night with waaaay to little sleep i went back to work to finish my job week with a 4-hour shift.. sweet..
so, tomorrow's my day off, i'm gonna hang out with my darling marie, FINALLY!
and after that it's all work tue, wed, and thursday.. and then...
DANCE MARATHON!!! (yey!)
