DBK tonight was nothing but a scandal

Huh, huh, HUH?

Sunday. It's already sunday. Whoooa. What happened to this week? Oh, right - Fever. That's what happened.
I went to work on monday, feeling sick from fatigue (at least that's what I thought) and did my hours. Since then I haven't been to work, but been spending all my days on the couch with a blanket and 1½ season of private practice. I'm finally better and hopefully ready for work tomorrow! Only 4 days this week, then it's time for family reunion and I can't wait! I miss them all so much!

Tomorrow it's bye bye Norway, HELLO Hudiksvall!
Dancing all weekend will be like conditioner for the soul, and I can't wait!
Actually looking forward to the trip there as well, will be fun getting to know new people!
I have my mixed CDs ready, but I'm guessing they won't be played that much - the driver and I have different opinions on music.. But hey, passenger seat means DJ, right? mouahahhaaaa..


Tjing and have a great weekend to all of you out there in cyber space!

Tuesday, October 20, 2009

And I'm back to my normal therearenoproblemsintheworldthatwon'tfeellesslikeproblemsifyoujustsmile self.
And I like it!

Just 3 days 'til take off! I've burnt mixed CDs for the ride and tomorrow it's baking day! (Yes, I'm spoiling my co-riders, but hey - who cares? :D ) Hudik - Here we come!

Got the late shift at work today, which means I have time for a workout before that. (Yes, all of you shocked ppl out there - I AM working out! Yey for me!)

Tjing!

i don't know, but today i'm not feeling as great as i usually do.
I don't really feel like anything.

Been in low spirits since saturday night, i'm guessing it's just that time of month.

so let's just concentrate on positive things - less than two weeks 'til Hudik! YEY

Sometimes life isn't fair.
My thoughts today go out to a family who lost a son and brother much too early.


Do not stand at my grave and weep, I'm not there I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glimpse of snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened green, I am the gentle autumn's rain.
Do not stand at my grave and cry, I'm not there, I did not die.

Happy Birthday to you, lallalalaaa

This blog post goes out entirely to my darling Dre, who turns 31 today and won't pick up her phone!

I miss you and I hope you have a day just as amazing as you are!

You should come to Sweden, so that we can eat chocolate chip cookies and strawberries on a straw and dance bugg again!
Sunday in Sandefjord.

The sun is shining from a cloudless sky and fall couldn't be more beautiful!
we spend the day relaxing in the sofa, just wanting to let our bodies recharge after a long week of working and, at least for me, working out.
No, It's NOT a type-o, you read it right. I've been working out! And not just a little, but every day. And my body doesn't like me for it, it's tired.
So, I'm placed horisontally today, and will probably be so until it's time for bed.

And not to forget - I have a very important phonecall to make this evening, to a VERY important 31-yearold on the other side of the world.

Time to get back into old habits

I've decided to start knitting again. It's been way too long, and I can't wait to get started!



This is the goal - only my size. :)

a crappy ending to a wonderful weekend.

seriously, I don't know how I always end up in situations like these.
Like what? - you may wonder, and yeah.. It's a loong story.

I'll take some time to tell you all about it.

I slept about 1,5 hours last night. Then my alarm rang, I got up, still high on happiness from dancing, and dragged myself (and my too-heavy-bag, backpack and cooler) to the bus station. Got on the first bus - no problems. Had to wait a little in Sundsvall for my second bus, but with the sun shining from a cloudless sky my mood couldn't have been in any higher spirits! Bus #2 was fine to, and even train #1 that took me down to Stockholm was on time. I got on train #2, enjoying my cheeseburger from the stations fast food stand, still thinking I would make it home as planned.
Then what should have happened was this: The train should have been on time to Gothenburg, I should've switched there to a bus heading to Oslo, and, with a little luck from the time Gods, I should've maid my 8 minute connection to the last train to Sandefjord, being able to crash in my bed around 2am, able to get at least 5 hours of sleep before I had to get to work. Now, all that didn't happen. Sadly enough.
The train to Gothenburg was about 1 hour late as we arrived to Gothenburg's central station, which meant I missed my connecting but to Oslo with about 30 minutes. So what Sj did, was to put me on a train to Uddevalla, and from there on a bus to Strömstad. At around 00.30, the taxi came to pick me (and some other folks) up and headed for Oslo. We got here about 1.50 am. My plan was to go into the central station and hang out there until the first train for Sandefjord left at 05.37. You can imagine my disappointment when I realised that Oslo's Central Station in NOT operated 24/7. I wandered around outside for a while, dragging my suitcase after me, sat down in a remote corner on a bench, but realized fairly fast that this wasn't a place to be at 2 in the morning. Not only because of the few drunks coming along from time to time, but also because of the fact that my leather jacket didn't offer much warmth in the chilly autumn night. I think I spent about 30 minutes wandering around the station, until I finally came to my senses and started to use my overly tired brain - there was a hotel, and it looked warm and comfy. It took me a while to gather the courage to walk in and ask if I could wait in their lobby instead of outside, but I did, and here I am. Sitting in a comfy sofa, listening to weird norweigan music streaming out of the lobby's speakers.
My train leaves in little less than 2 hours, I'll be home in Sandefjord just in time to go home, eat, shower and head to work. Luckliy M is meeting me, thank God for that! <3

So, I'm guessing anyone who reads this imagines me being fairly angry, tired and generally pissed at life. But no. Tired YES, I can't argue with that.
BUT, and I don't know how this works, I am HAPPY. I would guess it has something to do with the fact that I'm on my way hone from one of the best weekends ever. Dancing was just so much fun! I had almost forgotten how uplifting it can be, to swirl across the dancefloor in the arms of one of those fantastic dancers, to experience the closeness of my friends who I see all too seldomly and to just feel the music pumping through my veins.


I am high. High on dancing. That's a matter of fact. And I LOVE it.

Sunday, September 6, 2009

I REALLY want to go to Ö-vik next weekend. I just don't know if it's possible...
But I will do everything in my power to make it happen, that's for sure.

Saturday, September 5, 2009

you take the breath right out of me


give me more, I want moooore!
Seriously, books are NOT supposed to make you feel like this.

Monday, August 31, 2009

we're here, and it's amazing!
The little cottage is sooo much better than I'd hoped for and from the few glimpses I got of Sandefjord I LOVE it already! :D

Time to sleep, long day job hunting ahead of us tomorrow!

Tjipp!

Tomorrow it's bye bye Sweden - HELLO Norway!

I'm looking forward to it, A LOT.
Everything is packed, I've been baking bread all day and my only problem right now is that all our stuff probably won't fit in the car. OOUUPS...

Things that has to be done

So I finished the second book in the twilight story, and yes - starting the third one is about all I want to do right now. BUT there are way too many things that need to be done.
I spent this morning in my bead, writing lists of things to bring to Norway, instead of taking my regular morning walk. (It's raining and windy outside, so I didn't really feel like it.) The rain means no painting, and no painting means no work, and no work means time. Not to read unfortunately, but to do all those things that have to be done.
So, I was gonna bake bread to bring to Norway, but then I figured out it was a bit too early since we're not leaving until monday and it's not going to stay fresh until then. Dang it.
Instead I've been paying bills while writing a list in my head of things to do today. And it's waaay too long. So I guess I better get going.

Tjipp!

when words affect your whole being

Give it up for Stephenie Meyer, the author of the twilight books.

I don't remember ever having read books that affect my whole being as much as hers.

It's almost scary, the way I've felt sad all morning - only because the passage I'm reading right now is extremely depressing - that my friends, that is good writing.


It's time to go to work, the sooner I leave - the sooner I can come back and continue reading.

The good old times

Creed.
I don't think I need to say more.
Everyone who knows me, probably remember my Creed-days. It was the only thing I listened to for about 4 years. My dream at that time was to get to see them live. And then they split up. There was sorrow in my heart until Alter Bridge entered with their amazing music.
Anyways.
CREED IS BACK! Releasing their new album, "Full Circle", october 27th - and today was the release of their new single "overcome". And you know what? It's everything I imagined it to be!
So tune in to www.creed.com and listen to it - cuz it's great!

Time to go to work, need to get this dang house done before we movw to Norway.

Tjipp!

but now it's time to get back into old habits, that is late night chatting, tooo many hours by the computer and, of course, this blog.

Öland was amazing. Friends, dancing, love, happiness, sun, volleyball, food, drinks, dancing, friends, laughter. Only 361 days 'til next time! yeeey!

one last staff party

Tonight's the night we're gonna make it happen
Tonight we'll put all other things aside
Give in this time and show me some affection
We're going for those pleasures in the night

I want to love you, feel you
Wrap myself around you
I want to squeeze you, please you
I just can't get enough
And if you move real slow I'll let it go

I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it
And I know, I know, I know, I know
I know I want you, want you

-------

one last party.
let's make it memorable.
