Mothersday

DONT FORGET YOUR MOMMY TODAY!!!!

Wedding

Sofia was so beatiful.....

she had a dress in offwhite with a crochet-work in gold on top of that.

its was a simple but oh so beatiful dress.

Fantastic handwork done by Sofia and her mother.

I apprichiated that the time we spent sitting in a church was extremly short..I dont enjoy listening to the priests sermon mor than 5 mins tops.

I forgot to bring my camera...I KNOW!!! Im a terrible friend.

So I promise to post pics as soon as Sofia gets home from Warsaw where she and her husband is spending a few days all alone without kids to enjoy there new "untill death do as apart" life.

Thank you for everything Sofia and Good luck on your new life.

*big huggies*

The opera house

Last year we seen sweene Todd and Mary Poppings.

This year..ive just booked and purchased the tickets for:

• Romeo & Juliet
• Guys and Dolls
• Trollflöjten (what ever flute thingy..very famous, Mozarts last opera)

Romeo & Juliet is already next week saturday, I have this plan of combat, opera, out to eat a nice dinner somewhere..we will see where we end up..now we atleast have the tickets. and so u know..Guys and Dolls is 13/2-2010 and Trollflöjten is dec the tenth-2009.
So its a events for the entire year.

And today Etna and Fox are moving in for the weekend.
Etna is watching Xa while we are at the wedding and the afterward party adn then were going to look after Fox while Etna is working on monday..good deal and both of us gets to have a life :)

Yesterdays pump went to hell

I feel so frail..
yesterday Pump..I took my regular 5kg on each side on trisep..I thought I was gonna die.
so damn heavy..the entire class went to hell.
Today I had combat..and I barely managed to 4 song untill I was all exhausted.
So I cancelled by BOX class this time..DAMN
I dont feel for training at all..think this is the first time ..ever :S
could be for hte bad experience yesterday...I need to pull my self to gehter and focus a bit more.

On saturday Sofia is getting married, Im going to cry..for sure..the entire ring exchange.
Im so happy for her

Kaya goes home

It has been a very interesting day.
Xa is wild..and extremly active for her 8 years..I usually joke that she still thinks shes three.
I get questions all the time if she´s a pup..(who ever can beliave she is with her 8 years and grey hair)
Anyway..the day went really good except Xa decided that today she is a bith..
poor Kaya..took her like 3h before she managed to tell Xa it is ok for her to go between the bedroom and kitchen to drink water.
Xa was guarding her ass.
But after first walk a few h after her arrival the girls were just fine :)
Now that Kaya has gone with the train back to Norway..Xa just sleeps.
rough day for the girls I beliave

Xa get a friend tomorrow from Norway

To keep long story short..

I agreed to a colligue that is here for a Shell meeting that I would babysit his dog.

Kaya (pic) is a 5 year old femaile..breed..dont know :/

She only talks english as is according to my colligue very submissive so I dont think Xa is goign to putup a fight with her.

I was hoping Centi would work from home tomorrow so I could get some help initially with the girls so that they cna say hi outdoors. Sadly Centi is at the office and Im here all on my iwn..sux.

So tomorrow is going to be interesting..I sure hope the girls gets along just fine and that they will have a whole day of great fun :D

Sunday

Feels kind astrange..Ive been free from work for the past 4 days and I dont feel at all more relaxed now than i did last wednesday..:S

Anyway..yesterday I managed to find a dress after my cmbat class..I dont know if its due to the "I-found-a-dess-dance" or the Combat but today my back is all sor.

Thankful am I that atleast dont have my hands hurting ont he third and forth day due to the Box class..and only thing I learned form that was..more Box ^^

Today Im kinda keen on going out for a looong walk with Xa..maby around the Delsjön (7,8km) sad thing is..I need a car to take my slef and Xa + Centi ofc up there..hopefully my dear neighbour is not doing anything spec with his car..sadly he´s not answering his phone...asalways..so I beliave i need to go over an knock ont he damn door or something to force him up from bed :P

Otherwise..this evening my brother is comming over for dinner..and to study..hes funny..he likes studying at my place..he says: "well u got food and tea and besides..you usually know what Im supposed to do"..yeah..my brother is 18 and this time hes writing something about the Eye..I have his essay here in my comp so I should read it before he gets here..

Hope youll all had a nice weekend *hugz*

The dress

So next saturday is my best friends wedding for this event i need a dress

in August Centis family has a family meeting and since hes family is a whole damn scottish clan i need a dress for that party aswell.

The family gathering is in Riddarhuset Stockholm menaing..its a huge party.

I SO NEED A DRESS!!!!

anyway..Ive been running around like a crazy person trying to find a dress of right kind..but I can tell you..the shopping in Gothenburg is not the best for castle parties i can tell u.

After a few tips Bumbi took me to NK (Nordiska Kompaniet) adn there is was...but the freakking dress costed like 400EUR..totally insane..so I put it away that time but decided it was to exclusive..even for this occasion.

Today we went there again....Centi picked out like 6 dresses..it didnt look good at all..after a while he managed to find a very nice grey/blue dress...it was not love (thought Centi liked it alot)

I walked a few turns in the boutiq and suddenly one of the emploees helped me and pointed out...THE DRESS!!!

So now..at home..2,3 k SEK poorer i have this really nice dress from "Coast"

its not to "fancy"..not to "balroom" and yet.....its perfect..so this is the dress im going to wear..both to the wedding and the yearly family reunion..now i´just need to find shoes and a purse aswell...those needs to be in the colour champagne..it you have nay tips..pl let me know..i need the shoes urgently and the purse for august.

MRL

Oki whats the thing with this class?

There are 35 girls..all with a butt bigger than mine (yes its possible) and tights twice my size and they all think that training those parts ONLY will get them to become SMALLER?!?!?!

Like thats going to happend?!!

Anyway..the MRL class was basecly some step class combined with rubber band exersizing to strengthen the tights, stomach and butt.

I got sweatty ofc (I always do) but I dont think this 1h class is going to give me any aches at all to be honest. I took the red rubber band..(everyone else had green that is lighter) i used only one loop and not 2 like the rest(making it even harder) and still I walked out of there like I had been on a 30 min walk..WTF?! O_o

Tomorrow its combat again (than god so i get to train for real)..gonna be great..its now exactly one week since i trianed combat last time. Its sad since everyone is mixing there own atm..so one get never bored this period..only 2 more weeks to the Cobmat 40 release so I should enjoy every "old good songs" i get in the Combat classes atm.

Anna our combat instructor told me also that Sussie (P) is going to have the class next week saturday..so that just cant be missed. (pic)

Its going to be insane as always when she has a class..I mean if ppl think I have a lot of energy it doesnt go enywhere near Sussies. And since she is with her pics all over the sportlife mirror..and Fitness magazine..then I just have to show you a pic of her that i beliave is the best ever..true Combat spirit indeed :) (to the right sussie her self)

Om so looking forward to saturday already!

Skyranger..Happy Birthday

Hope youll have a wonderful day this year aswell.

*hugs and kisses*

Pump

My body is pretty dead today after the Box class yesterday.
And since I havent been in a Pump class in over 1 week now *blush*
I thought I start easy with 17,5kg on each side on legs, I will stay here on tuesday aswell and then I will go up on my 20kg again :)

I got to try out me new shoulder padding aswell today. I was a bit skeptic at first..not only because its BLUE but also because its lenoleum..the cover..I thought that when it gets wet it will be sliding around on my shoulder..I can tell you..it didnt.
And as far as it comes to the blue colour..
I just have to buy my self a blue "Pump outfit"...right? ^^
So ones again my problem is solved by some shopping :P
No problems..just solutions.

Anyhow..it worked great and Im so desperat at training atm that I even booked my self to a MRL class to morrow..so I will be jumping up and down a step board and having a complete workout with dumbles and rubberbands tomorrow..what does not one do after 3 days of rest due to businesstrips..right?

PS: I have now also voted for Piratpartiet in the swedish EU-election!!! *cheer* D.S.

Box 75

OOOOh my goood..Centi was about to puke..
I could barely breeth..and..we booked the same damn Box 75 mins (really 90 mins) next week again.
and no we arer not sane..and yes now Im gonna die on my bed.
How in hellam I to survive Pump tomorrow???
gaah it was good!!!

My boss calls me 08,00 AM

Im sitting in the train to Oslo..Im arriving there in less than 2h..its gonna be great..I looked at the weather before I left and it sayed sunny..so guess who broghther skirt and summer shoes ^^

My work phone rings and Its my boss at Shell.

A few months back he told me to give up for a while with my emploement in Shell. this due to the emploement stop withing Shell and ofc the finance crizis.

Now he told me to wait for an email from HR..(I was more than surprized).

He told me that he had gone all the way up to the GLOBAL HR MANAGER to get this aproved.

And the email I should be wating for is an invitation for "Shell recrutement day"

I never heard ot this so he was kind enough to explain..Im to go through some Intervjues with HR ppl, after that I ge tto keep a 1h presentation for all of the ppl there about something I have done (workrelated) I was joking to my boss about putting up a huge pic of Xa and talk about my dog for 60 mins...he got a bit petrofied first and told me it was a bad Idea..( I was ofc joking but..)

he told me an other guy had done that..an entire presentation about his children, wife and the family dog..he did NOT get the job he applyed :P

Anyways..in the comming weeks i will get an invitation to STHLM to have this whole day event where they do a totla psychic analyses of me and then they make a decission of how much potential it is in me ans scores me..those scores is going to be a reason to emploee me to Shell or cut me loose.

This is nowdays the only way to get emploement in the company...

and this is the first time EVER im nervous like hell for an job intervue..I really love the job Im doing..

Pl let there be a good..just that day ^^

Lördagens slutsatser

Efter en god grill middag bestående av Grillad kattfisk, klyftpotatis och romsås som avrundades först med fruktsallad och vaniljkesella och slutligen födelsedagstårta övergick middagen till diskussioner in på småtimmarna.

Följande punkter är resultatet av inlevelsefullt diskuterande runt middagsbord samt vardagsrummet framför schlager EM på kanal 1.

• Silvertejp hindrar åldringsprocessen på 30-års dagen.
• Du behöver dö!! (Gaia citat som härdanefter bör användas flitigt)
• Loch Ness monstret är egentligen en skygg vattensalamandel
• Manifest Chardonnay är inte bara ekologiskt utan går även att dricka!
• En slutsats är när man inte orkar tänka längre! (Citat av Erik)
• Polisuniform är lättast att införskaffa från en Fettishfest
• Dita von Teese var schlager EM:s höjdpunkt, övriga mä'rkbara trender i år är: Push up, fioler, Carola fläkt och pantomim.
• Schalger EM gästades av kända superhjältar som Dr Manhattan, Silversurfer samt Batman skurkar.
• Unibrow bör av nära vänner och bekanta avhjälpas med vaxstrip och ett leende, om inte detta tillåts...se punkt 2 ovan!

Kort sagt, vi hade en fantastiskt trevlig kväll i goda vänners lag..
Tack alla för en härlig grillkväll, nästa gång..som lovat grillar vi lammkotletter. (läs: Inte Centi..vi får värva ett nytt lamm för detta ändamål^^ )

No training today :(

Im starting to feel a bit sick..well not sick really just totally exhausted..so I actually canceled all my trianing today to just slack.

Centi is at home sick as only a man can be :P

Though combat tomorrow is ofc a must..that I really need to go to..I have promised.

Now its lunchtime usually Im back from my pump class now starving like hell.

But at this moment im just working, took a nice walk to the grosary store just now and purchased 5 fish filés and some spinach and potatoes. Guess what is for lunch^^

MACKEREL with boiled POTATOES and creamed SPINACH..mm mmm mmmmmmm

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VINTERIS!!!

Hope youll have a great day and that your family doesnt kome to tear down your appartment to much ^^

30 years..WoW..now the fun begins!!

*cheers*

EU-Valet from 20 maj

Jag behöver nog inte ens skriva detta men jag kommer gå o rösta för Eu valet..
Och inte ta min moderat lapp som tidigare utan denna gång går min röst till Piratpartiets Rick Falkvinge. Han grundade partiet dock anledningen att jag röstar på honom är hans ålder, engagemang, bakrund och politiska färg innan PP.

De flesta verkar rösta på Christian Engström. verkar det som.
Han står överst på listan vilket tyder antingen på att de tycker om honom extra mycket eller att han är den mest "poppis killen i gänget".
Givetvis har jag även spanant in list 2 och 3:an och nr 4..men konstaterade lite matt mest att de alla var studenter utan egentlig erfarenhet om varken IT i allmänhet eller livet i synnerhet.

Så nu väntar ajg bara påa tt min röstsedel skall dimpa ner i brevlådan.
From 20/5 kan man börja rösta.. o så här gör du

Get a grip!..and i did

So a few weeks has passed since i got my TSH results back.

After that time has flew by..I have been socializing, watching more movies I can bare..Raided (first time in very loong time) and spent time infront of my computer and ofc..Ive been training about 10h/week.

So today i woke up..started working and as "usual" between all my emails I started WoW adn then suddenly it hit me.

Dont i really have anything better to do while Im working...?

After a few mins of thinking I decided that now Im feeling good enough to start my studies a bit again, doing something usefull again.

I mean ones I was..training fulltime, studying partt ime, training and competing with my dog 3 days a week for several hours, cooking, baking, I was spending all my wake hours with friends family and loved ones..and now..now Im sitting with my computer affraid of actually starting to live my life again..afraid that I might get more sick again..dont dare to hope that its over now and I can start enjoying all the things I want to do.

affraid?!..omg..what have i become?

So beliave me when i tell u it wasnt a hard decission to send 2 emails and spend like 6h of writing on my B essay before i sent it to my teacher with an explanation of my suden dissapearence and ask her to rewiew it.

Im back on track..Im motivated, Im healthy and most of all...I have a goal..to live..fully! from today an onward. Feels good :)

Xas friend Fox...

...Is a golden retriver male 4 years old.

Hes a livefull little young man and Xa is an old cranky hag.

Thats prolly the best way to describe it.

Fox wants to play and Xa wants to nag at him ...all the time

Well besides from there own cute couple discussion fox is doing a whole bunch of test at this moment due to he and his mommy Etna will try for resque K9.

Fox is to seach over an area after living ppl hiding...he does that very nicely sometimes a bit to eagered so he forgets to pick his sign up that hes carrying around his neck ..

hes supposed to pick it up and run to Etna so he can show her where she found the person.

Xa..is at the age of 8 learning this..its all brand new to her adn she is not carrying anything..since she is a barker her job is to find the person and then bark untill i get there.

for a 8 year old she is not only a extremly fast learner..she also seems to love it.

Xa is the puppy of several generations of working dogs..and I have been training and competing with her in both tracking and obedience..where she actually is one class from a Swedish obedience champion so shes more than good at this.

But this is actually showing..you can teach old dogs to sit..if you just motivate them enough.

I also have a very nice pic of Fox..so I add it it here :)

DEAD

..doesnt even cover it..MY GOD..My body
I didnt even get out of bed for 6 AM..it took me an additional 30 mins..ahhahah
Now im sitting here by the computer with my oatmeal porridge, with some seeds, cinnamon, apple sauce and milk..trying to get my body to repair it self again :)

Its really hard to realize one is not 20 anymore, not that Im relly an old hag but I put on in Pump more than twice the weights the ppl in there 20:s are to get aches at all.
I dont know what they are doing at the gym? I mean clearly there not there for the training atleast.

so light a candle for me and pray this wont get worse...I have combat tomorrow again ^^
By the look of it today..feels like Im gonna need aspirin tomorrow to even manage out of bed
*happy puppy*

New Challange

I have been talking a pretty long time about the need to put onmore weight when Im training Pump.
I have been at 17,5 kg (on each side) for several months now..ofc after Japan and my other breaks I have gone down to 15 kg a few times but not for long.
Now after Japan I dont even get aches anymore, so something had to be done.
Last tuesday I managed to put one one more kg on the barbell but it still didnt feel.

So today I took on the challange...20kg (on each side) and I managed.
My body was truly exhausted after the Pump and this evening i have Combat (as always on thursdays) its Combat 40 and I know how dead I was week ago when I tryed it last time.
Good thing tomorrow is a rest day..hopefully not my final one ^^

A new study

I got a phonecall from my boss a few days ago.

He wanted me to know that there is a study during the summer period that is investigating my teams role at the terminal.

The thought is to get a good understanding in what my ppl is doing and then ofc..the neverending "possible centralisation of the team"

So my boss told me that I need to help the person out that is doign this study since she doesnt know to much of the terminal tasks..

ass a good girl I ofc told him yes I would do my very best and suddenly he asked if it was ok for me to be one of two ppl doing the study..I answered yes so fast that I dont even know what he asked for really so I had to add just as quickly..mm..but I get to keep my team during this right?

OFC! *exhales* thank god..so anyway..my boss thinks im "the expert" of the area so this study is a 40% role ontop of my TA teamlead role that Im having.

Today I sent out a telecon invitation to my team..the meeting is next week wednesday.

And Im basecly going to tell them that were trying to steal there jobs to Malaysia..

Ok not really..IF and that is a IF the study reveals that the team is possible to centralize (which I distrust) the thought is to keep it in Norway or in Sweden..Im very much hoping for Norway..I love my ppl there. besides..I have the best superusers there AND they have the best knowlage of languages is u compare to Sweden.

But we will se..my beliave is that they will realize that Norway has to much manual work att he termianal to be centralizing anything...well maby a few parts of there task but most of the things they do is actually totally depending om the paperwork at the terminal.

When Shell has fixed new Terminal automation systems to all Norwegian terminals..then my team will have hard to find work at the terminals anymore :)

Though I am ofc extremly flattered that my boss asked me and not Him with a BIG H. :P

50-0 to me ^^

A nice dinner

Had a really nice dinner together with Centi and Callisto yesterday evening.
I had done a roast and to that I served an sallad that I will give you the recepie of below.
Its a brand new sallad to me but boy did we get surpriced when it actually was as good as it sounded. Even if it stated it suites for fish we had it to meat and it worked wonderfully.
No potatoes no pasta..just roast and the sallad to that adn ofc some lemon water to drink since ½ a lemon was "left over" from the sallad.
This is a fresh sallad that suites very nicely now that the grill season is starting up again :)
Try it and enjoy!

3 Avocado
2 Mango
1 Pomegranate
1 Bunch of chive
Salt
White pepper
Olive oil
½ Lemon

Cut the avocado and mango in cubes. Put the pomegranate seeds into the bowl together with the rest. Slice the chive into small pieces and blend it in.
Taste of with salt, olive oil and pepper , squeeze in the lemon last and blend the ingredients a little.
Not too much due to the avocado turns into a mush otherwise.
Serve with grilled/fried fish or meat.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAROK!!!!

Hope you will get a lot of sunshine and and hugs from your loved ones.

*hugs*

Bunny Ears

The girl gotta be some crazy feministwannabee...I mean not even my femeinist friends thinks this is in any way humilliating..if you ask me..the fluffy bunny ears are qute.

Blizz..please dont answer any idiotic reporter trying to make a dollar or ten out of this clearly idiotic subject.
gaaah..I actually didnt think ppl were so lame..but then again..shes for sure out demonstratic because of the light for crossings is a figure of a male and not a femaile.
