another day in our lives
the weather was unpredictable but it didn’t stop me from having a fantastic weekend on ålön with Linus and his family. it was the whole meeting the parents thing but it went super well and they are all wonderful people. phew! 
now he’s back in oslo and flying to greece today as usual but he’ll be back already tomorrow. i’m guessing just in time for totti to recover from the weekend. right now he’s sleeping sleeping and sleeping…
midsummer is just around the corner just a bit more than a week away and i can’t remember last one i spent in sweden. for you who are not familiar with this swedish holiday i can tell you it’s about as hyped up as new years. everyone plans ahead and coolest activity and party wins. or something like that.
anyhow, it has been many years since my last swedish midsummer. so you’d think i’d be super stoked and have all these plans in stockholm? NOT!
instead i’m following my heart and just bought a ticket to oslo and will be there from friday morning to monday morning. ♥
to my co-workers frustration i won’t stop singing this song. what can i say, i love our disney stars and spring is in the air! 
it’s not often “snailmail” reaches my apartment, and when it does it really makes my day so much better! yesterday i received a “thank you” card from Nina and Jens with the picture below. their wedding was the best and most beautiful celebration i’ve ever seen. and if i may gossip a little bit, their son Joel won’t be an only child for much longer… exciting!
ps: i had to scan the picture hence the lower quality. still, so beautiful!
this picture is from new years eve at midnight last year. don’t i look happy? i really was. now a year has gone by and the guy has (literally) been cut out off the picture. what will 2009 bring? well i guess we all have to see…
last saturday was nina’s big day. i posted pictures from the ceremony previously and finally here are a few pictures from the dinner and party afterwards. what really amazes me is to see how much love there was in the room. family, friends and co-workers only had the best things to say about both nina and jens. it shows that being a good person makes other good people want to be around you.
also, my old friend pardis who was my “person” (grey’s anatomy term) in seattle was there. we were so tight back then but unfortunately we completely lost touch for years. so it was so great to catch up and realize that great friends are for life and no matter how much time goes by without any contact it’s just like before when getting back together.
nina’s mom just called jens tall and handsome
bridesmaids åsa and jessica giving touching speeches
girlfriends singing a self composed song.
nina is showing her handy side when nailing a champagne box stuffed with notes from the guest shut. box should be opened on their first wedding anniversary.
tove, me (looking horrible), pardis and nina
ignore the picture and just listen to these girls singing kent’s “utan dina andetag”. do i need to say that everyone was crying? i’m not 100% sure of the names of the singers and rather than risking giving incorrect credit, i’m counting on that nina will see this after her roma trip and give the credit as a comment. right?
Jag vet att du sover
känner värmen från din hud
bara lukten gör mej svag
men jag vågar inte väcka dej nu
Jag skulle ge dej
allting du pekar på
men bara när du inte hör
vågar jag säga så
Jag kan inte ens gå
utan din luft i mina lungor
jag kan inte ens stå
när du inte ser på
och genomskinlig grå
blir jag
utan dina andetag
Min klocka har stannat
under dina ögonlock
fladdrar drömmarna förbi
inuti är du fjäderlätt och vit
Och utan ett ljud
mitt hjärta i din hand
har jag tappat bort mitt språk
det fastnar i ditt hår
Jag kan inte ens gå
utan din luft i mina lungor
jag kan inte ens stå
när du inte ser på
och färglös som en tår
blir jag
utan dina andetag
Jag kan inte ens gå
utan din luft i mina lungor
jag kan inte ens stå
om du inte ser på
och genomskinlig grå
vad vore jag
utan dina andetag
Vad vore jag
utan dina andetag
my beautiful, wonderful friend nina has married her dreamprince jens. i had no idea i was such a softy, but i started crying as soon as they walked in. nina was stunning as she is and jens was so handsome next to her. looking at these two i realize that anything can happen and you never know when love will strike you.
pictures from the wedding party later…

what a strange and intense day. we had the anon sunglass sales meeting today and reps from every country attended.
famous reason for not dating colleagues: if and when you break up, it will be uncomfortable to see each other in professional situations. especially when you finish on bad terms.
however, we both did a tremendous job at ignoring each other. honestly i’m happy with the break up even though it wasn’t initiated by myself. it didn’t upset me to see him. what’s annoying is that i’m still so attracted to him physically and i had to try my hardest not to look at him.
below are some pictures of what i merchandised for the meeting.
