Happy birthday

Finally we cleaned out my old apartment. Deadtired but Tina my friend wanted to celebrate my birthday with a glas of wine at least. We took the small glas... Tomorrow me and Doddo are moving the first boxes into my new apartment maybe me and her can manage to get the bed in (we lack a bit muscles and are both a bit out of shape) the sofa is just way to heavy I think. If Im lucky Torkel will get of work early to help. Anyways Im happy, I got a new place to live!

Late night

Im reading. The cat is surfing, listening to music and just enjoying life as an old cat should

Update on last nights wedding

We all survived some in a bit better shape than others I think. It was a really nice and beautiful ceremony. The dinner went fine and was anything but boring. We did return to the wedding party after the 20 minut pitstop at Lindas and the party went on until 02.00. It was fun, Carina and I even managed to find the time to play a bit piano, both at the same time, same tune and in sync. I looked at Carina and said

Me: 'gee I didnt know you play the piano'
Carina: 'I dont, didnt know you did'
Me: 'I dont'

There was some minor incidents but nothing big really and noting me and the gang can take credit for. As usual I didnt have a purse so some friends took my stuff in, one took my phone, one my cash, creditcard and Carina my keys. Very very much later Carina is gone, shes gone home... with my keys :)

Happyly married

Ingela and mattias survived the ceremony we've had the dinner and now we (as in the usual party gang) ran away for a tiny tiny partybreak at Lindas appartment close by. We will return to the wedding... I think,.. ;)

Nightwish - Eva

http://www.nightwish.com/en/files/audio

Here you can get a sneak peak and liste some to the new album thats soon to be releast. With the new singer, Anette Olzon (Blyckert) from Sweden :)

I´m not sure yet if I like her voice, guess it could be that I´m so used to Tarjas voice when listening to Nightwish. Anette Olzon got a lighter and a slightly more nasal voice then Tarja so I get the feeling that something´s missing, that it doesnt reach all the way so to speak. Well well, longing to hear the whole album though

Long time no clean

You know its been to long since the last time cleaning out a cabinet when you find disks in it. Its been some years, its almost like time stood still in there. And I beyond myself with curiousity, wonder whats on the disks. One is labeled 'PC - Internet' which made me laugh big time. The rest seems to be for Amiga so its really really been some years

Moving

Cleaning out old stuff and throwing them away for good. This is the view from our local dump, who in their right mind places a dump by the sea? its just plain stupid.

Meet an older gentleman at the dump he felt sorry for me being a woman all alone doing a mans job, he said 'you should marry then you would have someone to do these kind of jobs for you' (hey I guess thats one reason to marry, 'I dont love you but I need someone to go to the local dump for me' :-D) then he just shook his head and mumbled 'whats the world coming to' and helped me unloading some of my stuff. I tried to protest but he wouldnt have any of that. I tried to explane that this was just because I´m moving out of my appartment this weekend. When he asked me where I was moving I just knew things wouldnt seem any better to him because as of right now I dont have anywhere to move to in 3-4 weeks and I dont want to lie especially not to an elderly gentleman. He was somewhat relieved to hear that I´m staying with friends at least for 1 week and that I would get help on Sunday moving my furniture.

He was real sweet and cool, I offered to help him unloading his car and Wow!, if looks could kill... then he just laught and told me I seemed to be a handfull and should marry soon. I feel like I´ve been teleported to a -50 movie from US ;)

Ozzy Osbourne - Black rain

It´s the first record since 2001 and the first he ever mede completely sober (according to himself) but it´s still same old Ozzy. I´ve listen some to it and so far I give it a 3 out of 5. I like Ozzy´s older stuff a bit better than his latest records but the new ones tend to grow on me the more I listen to it so I expect the 3 to change to at least a 4 for some of the songs.

Birthdayparty

Joppan is turning 3 today. Lots of presents and laughs

Tuesday morning

This is my computer at work. Windows system error. All I wanted to do was start up. Dont you just love it

ZZ Top - Blue Jean Blues

This is one of the absolute best songs ever made. No matter how many times I listen to it I still dont get tired of it. I was going to see ZZ Top in Gothenburg this summer but unfortunatly they had to cancle the hole Europe tour due to health problems. I had hoped to see this one live. This version is live so obviously it´s not completely the same as on the record but Hey, hes a funny guy so he´s adding some just for the show

Quotes

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

Quotes

Always aim for the moon; even if you miss... you'll still be among the stars

I dont know who said that but I like it.

Beyond tired

I feel like I dont have any energy left at all. Tomorrows another week and I´ve got tons to do. No engergy and tons to do dont fit well together and I´m not really sure if I can handle it, I feel kind of beaten.

Horror!

So after a though week I decided to skip the pub and just spend the night in with my music (ok ok I went for a ride with the bike and ended up at a friends barbecue party but that was just for a little while and they talked golf the whole time)

Anyway´s I felt for some Beatles and to my horror I notice that my "Sgt peppers lonley heartclub band" has mysteriously left my appartment. In fact I havnt seen it since my last "after the pub party" at my place... Thats the party that left me a whiskey bottle and a cheese slicer less... That I can take but NOT my Sgt Pepper or any of my records for that matter. It´s a capital offence people!

Keep the whiskey and the cheese slicer but give me back my record. Of course I´ll believe the better of you, and think that you just borrowed it and forgot to tell me... meanwhile here I am.. alone... without my Sgt Pepper... wanting to listen to A day in life...

Rolling Stones - Paint it black

One of my favorite Stones songs. Everytime I watch The Stones I wonder how they suvived this long and still they are rocking. Nice!

Quotes

I don't use drugs, my dreams are frightening enough.

The cat got tired and fell asleep in action so to speak in the middle of the party.

IKEA

Hihi its all purple. My mothers least favorite color and she wasnt prepared for the sight of this when I said. 'Hey something for you and torkel he would love it' (he actually likes purple.. alot!!) she laught so hard she almost got the candy she was eating stuck in her throat. According to her that was the worst and ugliest livingroom IKEA ever made. We had a really good and funny day together today, lots of laughs

Quotes

This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays.
Douglas Adams

Got my work cut out for me

Im minding my friends kids until 0.00 (then parents come home and I´m probably of to meet some friends at the pub.) Joppan got a fever and is not well at all. Jonte got his friend Max staying over for the night so it´s kindof a full house.

Check out Max´s hair, its really as fluffy as it looks. The coolest 6 year old in town

Work today

What I accomplished at work today. Im so so proud of myself and what Ive accomplished. Fullfiled my lifelong dream of random scribble while listening to a customer on the phone. ;-)

Quotes

All of us need to grow continuously in our lives.
Les Brown

Whisky

Just tried out some weird whisky, I thought it was a joking when I was told about "Pigs nose" and "Sheep Dip", but it wasnt. Guess if I laughed when I saw the bottles. Sheep Dip was not that nice, not a nice taste to much sting in it but Pig´s Nose was quite nice, smelled and tasted a bit sweet.

Gone...

got a childish wish I could just be gone. I dont fit in, in my life. Thats a weird feeling, beeing a guest in your own life...

Talking fun and future business

Stopped by Harrys on my way home to talk with vickan and hear about her workrelated whiskeytrip to scottland. Got a taste of a drink she and sara just came up with. All I have to say is that it had bailys in it... Im having a beer instead.

Quotes

"If you dont love me for who I am, I will not change. Because then it will be the change you love, not me. If you love me for who I am maybe I´ll change into something you love even more"

That one I take credit for myself, (if no one argues otherwise) I was in my 20 something when I said that, studing Sociology and human social behaviour. We often had some weird discussions in class but it was kind of fun. This I said when our teacher argued that we all have to change and that we do that to please other people. His point beeing that we change not from desire and a will to change but from necessity. That was one fun discussion

Metallica S&M - Nothing else matters

Sound´s a bit low, I cant do much about that so you´ll just have to adjust your volym a bit

Metallica - The Unforgiven

Couldnt find a clip form the S&M concert, sorry.

Metallica S&M - Until it sleeps

The DVD and the CD from this concert is among the best I´ve listned to. This is one of my favorite songs along with "Nothing else matters" and "The Unforgiven" great songs (musicaly and lyrics) in their original version but with the symphony as backup it´s even greater

Quotes

Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Albert Camus (not 100% sure he said that got it listet as Unknown as well as Camus, it´s a good quote anyways)

New extra work

One of the best offers for extra work Ive ever been offered. Guiding visitors through the Carlsberg factory in Falkenberg. For now Im just walking alongside Karin to learn about the factory and the beer. I'll be guiding people and leading small beer testing happenings when Ive learned enough. Its very different from my ordinary work and seems to be alot of fun. Its good and fun to do something different and to learn new things.

Working late

Missing the Popquiz and beer with friends at the pub. Luckily Im prepared for situations like this, its not much but its some compensation. Friends just sms me a toast so, cheers!

Fun stuff

Found this through one of the blogs I freaquently visit and found it kind of fun. This is me, my visual dna..

Take the test yourself

Peace and quiet

Sent 2 kids home, 1 kid winding down infront of the TV, the little one out cold in bed for the night. Me and the cat taking 5, relaxing with tea and music befor reading a bedtimestory for Jonte. I've absolutely earned me a glas of wine. Saving that for tomorrow though... Melw you stop laughing Im NOT getting old

Phu..

2 computers to fix, 4 kids to check on. 1 playing with the computer I fixed, 2 playing with cars outside, 1 jumping up and down playing spiderman.. We've been through the 'im hungry', 'i want something to drink', 'i need to use the toilet' part so I had my hopes up for fixing the other computer but no such luck its time for ' come play with us will you, pleeease' part and then they look at me with pleading eyes... Who can say no to that

World Championship Hockey

What a let down, I was going to watch the game between Sweden and Soumi (Finland) on webb-tv at my mothers today but that crapy webb-cast doesnt work as it should. The only excuse we´ve gotten so far is that theres alot of people accesing the webbcast at the moment... noooo kidding! can it be because alot of people would like to watch the game perhaps... they didnt have any trouble getting us through the payment though...

Båstad

Me and Snorkel have taken a ride down to båstad to check on his parents house. They are arriving from France next week. I´m relaxing on the lawn while Snorkel checks on things.
