5 GOOD THINGS

i’ve been so negative and depressed lately that it’s time to recognize the good things!

1. the sun came out today!!! (please please please stay out long enough for me to enjoy it during my lunch walk!)

2. which i celebrate with a latte and lussekatt from 7 eleven. in sweden we call it “vardagslyx”.

3. i just received my invitation for babsi’s bday party. not in the mail – facebook. but still.

4. my candle that i won last week arrived yesterday and smells AMAZING.

5. they called from canon and told me they will fix my camera for free. hurray! soon i hope. miss it.

one day at a time…

i looove TEAM OLA!!!

i’m the biggest dork and yes i voted for team ola in “körslaget” and they won!!! hurray for ola and for lund!

a small update

* kitchen is nearly finished, just missing a stove and some other details.

* canon camera is still broken. and canon & the place where the camera was bought keeps putting the responsibility on each other. fun.

* linus is still sunbathing on gran canaria while i’m whiter than the vampires from true blood.

* totti’s eye is much better and he’s back to his whiny self (you’d think that he’s be whining when sick, but he’s the opposite. guess he needs his energy to whine. bugger.

* grey’s anatomy keeps surprising. in a good way that is.

that’s all until i have a camera again…

48hrs without internet

and several things have happened.

- mom went to china! i hope she has an amazing time and can’t wait to see all her pictures.
- my apartment has become a working site. saturday we got rid of the upper cabinets, fridge and oven.
- evening we drove out to ålön and spent a night there.
- sunday morning linus and his dad pulled up the boat to sleep until next spring.
- and back to the working site to complete the destruction. lower cabinets are now gone as well.

i have of course documented all of this in pictures and will start posting some tomorrow. now, back to handing linus tools while he’s working!

i do have a life…

But the camera hasn’t been with me all weekend so no proofs. I don’t think it’s very exciting to describe my life in just words but let’s go for it this time.

Linus arrived Saturday morning and after he got some rest we headed over to Emil with family for Noah’s very first birthday party. I brought him a little Brio Donald car since I figured I’d get him disneyfied at an early age!

Mom and dad had flown in for the occasion and this was the first time they got to meet Linus which I think went well. We stayed for cake and delicious dinner before heading back to the city. Later I met up with Carissa and we headed to Ljunggrens for some drinks.

After getting to sleep in on Sunday we went for brunch at Strand with a bunch of Linus’ friends. Very nice food and company.

We wrapped up the weekend with watching the Swedish movie “Män som hatar kvinnor” (Men who hates women) on DVD at Linus’ place. I hadn’t read the book and never understood the hype around the author, Stieg Larsson, but the movie really surprised me! I might even go and see the second movie from his books in the movie theater.

Anyways, I do have a life still even though I rarely talk about other things than bull terriers. And honestly, wasn’t it much more interesting to see puppy pictures than hear about my weekend?

julie’s bridal shower/bachelorette party!

it was the typical bridal shower with games, activities and gift opening. the shower followed by the bachelorette party which consisted of shots of jäger, karaoke and dive bar. true american style.

btw, my garbage made wedding dress won best dress!

my new friend!

yeah, i got myself a little 1,35kg, 11.6″ netbook to bring with me on my vacation to upload all my pictures on. it’s so small and easy to bring with. and a big plus is that it came with adobe photoshop elements which i had already planned to buy regardless. Can’t wait to sticker it up to make it mine! :mrgreen:
