Where did summer go?

So my checklist for 2013 so far.

*Lost 6kg weight and fat% from 30 to 20%
*Been training average of 10.3h per week
*Not been sick not ones in all year!!
*Started my 7th year together with Centi
*Sitting on the same job but got prolonged for 2 more years!
*Counted my Stockholm friends to >20

Months runs by..I have been elected to our housing cooperative committee and Im joining for every meeting. Today I baked for them..If I cant eat it..they gotta!
So they can gain my lost kg:P

Otherwise..yes Dinner party...so they changed the location for us..was a disaster..adn I did not wear my dress!!
why? because they changed location from a castle to a red little house in the middle of nowhere and there was some other family there as well so I would have been terribly overdressed.
So a little black dress with very very high heels and a black little handbag..

The party was a disaster..
So first the bus that is supposed to take us to the house didnt show (apperently he had 2 runs and on the first run, nobody came so he didnt take th esecond round letting like 70 people figure out a way to get there. Ofc me nor Centi had any wine whilst taking shower and fixing makeup/hair so we BOTH ended up driving..
Yeah no I dont like wine...not at all..not like I had saved my calories to take 2 glasses of wine! DAMMIT!
Got there..oh there is a preplanned way how people are to be seated, GREAT! I end up with the "lets get drunk crowd" approx just turned 20 yo.

As Im lactose intolerant I had ordered special food. at my seat is the started already served...without bread?! It says Gluten free..WTF
Ok so I go to the kitchen and say..oh I think someone is gluten free and their plate is on my seat.
-No, we made all lactose free food also Gluten free! :)
-But I want bread..Gluten free bread tastes shit! (it really does, like a carbon box)
-Sorry but we don't have any "spare" plates so you have to eat that.
I went and stole someone else s food so not my problem any longer at least.
Dinner was nice, company was..non interesting and then was dessert time...
everyone gets  chocolate mousse..even the vegetarians!!
What did I get..In plastic wrapping..just like that..not even on a plate

 KROKOFANT!!!!

This is my dessert, rounding up the three course meal...
I didn't know if I wanted to laugh..or crymy eyes out!

Thank god I didn't take the dress!!!

Vad vore en bal på slottet....

Jisses amalia..nu är det dags för släktträff igen med Centis familj...Galet.
Fick skaffat mig en svart lång aftonklänning men detta med skor är en förbannelse!!
Handväska måste oxå införskaffas men jag kan ju inte skaffa väska innan jag hittat ett par skor!

så..hjälp!
Dessa:

Eller

Eller dessa?!?
http://www.brandos.se/steve-madden/cycile-123466-751-silver/a42462

Så ja..jag har följande krav..de skall vara silver..
Jag behöver min 2cm platå och 10cm klack för at tkompensera för klänningslängden.
Och det är typ...det!

Hur svårt kan det vara liksom..som ni ser..its a mare!
Varje gång jag går in i en skoaffär hittar jag sandaletter, jobbskor snygga pumps men fan inga skor o ha till den där klänningen..och festen närmar sig...
28 Juli liksom...MÅSTE hitta nått snart!

Idéer? Nån?

//Gaia

Oh gosh..time flies

So I haven't written here in like ages...Need to do something about that!
Life is Same same...
Same job, Same dog, same BF, same training, same apartment...
so what is new?
I lost like 3kg..which might sound very little but considering Ive lost like 2 sizes on my pants 10cm around my waist, I can say..3kg is a lot! ;)

Think I might have distributed my body fat some...how?
You will never believe this but..Ive been going to massage ones a week since January.
and no..no aroma shit massage but real deep tissue massage.
This means I'm screaming for one hour..I cant sleep on the side I got treatment on for a week and the the week after..well then she kills of the other side..LOL

So I have actually learn a lot..the reason I did not get results form my training before was due to my connecting tissue. and what the hell is that?

Connective tissue (CT) is a kind of biological tissue that supports, connects, or separates different types of tissues and organs of the body. It is one of the four general classes of biological tissues—the others of which are epithelial, muscular, and nervous tissues

Wikipedia made u wiser? me neither so I just explain it like my masseurs. the Connecting tissue is a like a plastic wrapping around your muscle. If you do big moves. Like dancing ballet you exercise your CT and it will cause no problems for you if you don't have disorders and shit ofc. Doing Pump and Combat you do fast but small movements and this apparently causes your CT to lock your muscle into the plastic wrapping, making the muscle unable to move fully.

Weird right?..and what this then mean..well for me it meant 14h/week of training at the gym...no results, no muscle pain ever.. I never broke down regardless of how much I trained
I had no core as my body was so locked down so I didnt need to use my core at all to keep my body straight as the muscles were so packed that I could do just fine without it!




So, now I have for 6 months been training 10h/week + my rehab core and backside shoulder gym moves. and the result is..yeah what can I say...surprising?

And me, like everyone else most likely get really motivated of getting new results and I really dont do much differently than the 1h massage/week. so now I'm literately send everyone I know to massage. Hahaha

Its painful...training is painful..but dammit I'm starting to get my 6-pack in place!!
WoopWoop...Other than that..made amazing friends in Canada and in Stockholm.
I still call the subway for a tram and I haven't learn´t the local "tube" word so I look like an idiot every time someone uses it because I just cant understand what it is :P
and note to all of you never been in Stockholm...our subway system is more above ground than beneath...so..a TRAM! Dammit! ;)

Jingle freacking bells...

So fall has been crazy...at least work wise.
My contract was to expire in end of October..then I got the new challenge in Canada and Ive now visited Calgary for the first time (will ofc post pics later from my trip that for ones was a bit more than airport hotel, office, hotel, plane home:P).

We all agreed my contract was to be prolonged til end of march 2013.
So, happy as I got not to try to find a new job. And I can tell you that in the middle of a finance crisis its not the easiest to find the most "exiting jobs" so Ive been searching on and off for a year now and I found like 17 jobs in total that I can think of doing...:/
doesn't sound to promising.
anyways. so I decided to put my job search semi on hold over the holidays at least..then BAM!
there was an audit in the Nordics and the internal billing that we been doing the past few months was not OK suddenly :(
This means that as of 3 weeks me and my friends in Canda need to figure out a way how to hire me as temp staff in Canada but without me losing my social security in Sweden where I belong.

Ive been spending the past 3 weeks calling, taking notes, filling in templates, sending it to different governmental people and at the same time holding my 150% job.
This has been far from a easy task to do.

Meanwhile my BF Centi has his job as game developer and to find jobs to keep the one you have has shown to be pretty hard in the business. So we been looking and playing with the idea that both of us are without a ob as of 1Jan 2013.

We figures out we are not going to get anything dine..sitting home watching Dexter and The Mentalist and playing WoW is not going to give us work..LOL

But luckily on Friday his company got a few contracts keeping them busy for a year or so..and it seems that my dear Canadian friends is working on getting me into Kelly Services in Canada.

So it all seems to work out again..and yes..AGAIN.
Its been like this for the past 3 years with my job and somehow they always manage to keep me just a few days before shit hits the fan.
I love the company I work for and I love the work I get to do and the travels that are needed in my role but my god I hate audits and regulations doing nothing good for anyone really just to make sure to save "a few" ones that are not capable of taking care of them selves.

In the Nordics HR is hunting my ass..they are forcing the company to hire me for good and not letting me be temp staff.
EVEN though i WANT TO be temp staff...if I wasn't temp..I would never have this much fun at work as I have had the past 6 years. :P

sick puppy

..being me..I'm about to die..for sure..
Ive caught this crazy virus in Canada. And its tryign to end my days!
Not joking...so Wednesday I went for my normal lunch training..its been snowing all night so I had to literately dig my self out of the house..and dig my self in a few hours later..so I decided I had to take care of the damn snow or we would be snowed in tomorrow morning..
so 2h I spent shuffling snow from our front door area..then I wen tot train my normal 2h Wednesday class Combat + Balance.

I felt exhausted at the combat class and I skipped (yes you read right) I skipped the Balance..to tired in my body..but then again who wouldnt be after 1h lunch trianing 2h show shuffling and an additional h of combat?

So went home..and woke up at 2am...with fever from hell.
+40c is OK when you are a child but having it as a grown up...is dangerous..
Now this fever has now been upon me for 3 days..after 4 days I'm supposed to go to the hospital..its not good..not good at all.

sick puppy has man-flu...I'm not moving form bed at all..just drinking tea and sleeping away the days :(

geography lesson...

yeah that being me!
I landed with the plane from Calgary Canada.
Yep been in Canada, will update you later with the reason why :P
Anyways..In Calgary we had like minus 3c and landing in Stockholm we had -15c
Don't know what went wrong.
I'm joking to the Canadians that Nordics is like Europe's Canada..so they all loved me..asking if the US people thought we had polar bears walking our streets to.

there is actually people out there that thinks that Sweden is a part of US.
Funny isn't it?

So I thought I know a lot of people  outside of Sweden reading my blog so here is a bit of geography for you all^^
If your lucky you might learn something

Enjoy!

1. Nordics and it is containign of 4 countries.
Finland: Where I was born,people very extroverted IF you know Finnish. Sauna is originally form this country and they are known for their drinking habits.
Sweden: Where I currently live, friendly bunch with key words like, "lagom" and "Fika" (google it)
Norway: where I work..ed. They got oil, good food and fantastic mountain landscape
Denmark: Where swedes goes to buy cheap beer^^ Say no more:P

2. This is Canada. this is where Ive just been to work and this is where I will work as it seems a few more months. Fun people, very lovable.
Climate about the same as in Sweden (at least in Calgary) No polarbears and no penguins (they live on the south pole also for those who didn't know bears and penguins is on the opposite side of the globe..not bathing in the same pool.

 

Got to keep my lanterns for a week

Then some partying teens took my Pumpkin lanterns.
all of them...
The sad part was I came home from a dog walk and I saw they had taken the big one so I took the two smaller ones and placed them just outside our bedroom window.
The freaking kids had walked all the way to our front door and taken them both.

So for next year..then we know that having them outdoors is ok except on Halloweens night.
Damn kids!

My lite darling is soon 12 yo and I still get stopped by people asking if she is a pup.

But at the moment shes running around and wants us to kick on the leaves on the ground so she can catch them..just like she does with snow.
Every walk is taking ages as you have to play with the little monster all the time.
This picture is taken by a friend of mine during a walk a few days back :)

Body Combat 54 Sizzler

And its here...
Now Im just waiting for the track lists.
Going to be great, Ive heard this is supposed to be super awesome..
Also the new Body pump sizzler is out but many of the tracks are used previously.
Feels like it would be nice not to overuse old tracks all the time would be better.
but then again it most likely costs a fortune for them to use the tracks.

Besides not many have been doing Combat since 24 and Pump since 40 something...
so most likely the tracks are somewhat new to the majority of people.
Its just me being a nerd^^

Back in my training habbit

Yeah..yesterday Combat..I was unsure how it would go but it felt ok.
I survived and my lungs didn't even colaps so feels like I was home the right amount of time..never been without training anything for a week..well not in a year at least..

the pain I thought my body would have today...
but it didn't..so I went ot a pump class today, put on more weights on 4 tracks..the oain I will have tomorrow will be epic.

And tomorrow is worst day ever..I have triple class..
Tabata at lunch
Combat and then Balance afterwards is my Wednesday routine.
I wont be able to move after the Pump class form today so I'm not sure how to survive tomorrows classes...ASPIRIN..straight into my veins? LOL

Well we will see how this goes..I asked the instructor for Tabata to be nice to me..so he will for sure make me cry just because he can *grin*

worst thing..I'm actually looking forward to it :/
Total sicko..yep I know.

a week of illness

Seriously I have not been this sick for...easy 5 years.
think last time was the Japanese flu actually.
And not even then was I dead for a week.

So Centi has been pretty bad the past 3 weeks. He ofc never stops training nor working so what did you expect. The manflu never went away.
I was training last Sunday and after that shopping..got a really nice new Nike sweatshirt.
Anyways I came home around 4PM feeling seriously crap...
So i took my temp and its was around 39 degrees.
I usually don't mind temperature below 40 when getting fever but I just realized I'm not young any longer and the older you get, the more sensitive to the temp changes you are..true that!

Anyways..so I went ot bed..woke up at 2AM..freezing my ass off..took temp and realized Im above and pass 40. So I took my self from bed (by leaning towards the walls in the apartment) to the medicine cabin for some aspirin) Took one and crawled back into bed.
2h later I woke up and had to swop all my bed linen..it was soaking of sweat.
Back into bed..woke up next day at 11.
I cant remember last time I slept that long.
Anyways day 2 went and day 3 went in exact same manner.
Worked my 8h/day with clothes and pillows and a pot of tea whilst the temperature was rising, slept a few hours and then back to work.
Day 4 the fever let go...most likely since i threatened to do to the Dr if it didn't.

One week has now passed and I woke up this morning sounding like a scare crow.
really one would think I have spent all week drinking whiskey.
Anyways got a friend visiting and you know what..she sounded just as bad..bu also coughing.
Im not coughing but were pretty sure Centi has given the same damn thing to both of us.
So sharing coughing medicine and pills, snoring and watching moves..best Sunday ever :)

With apple pie < 3

Halloween Pumpkin lantern

Yep, Halloween is next week but sitting home sick sucks...
so I just wanted to do something...
Look how nice..Even Centi liked them...
think this is a new tradition even though we don't even celebrate Halloween in the Nordics really.

New shoes

I have this really nasty problem...a shopping problem :P
I'm training so much that my calf's always are to big when I'm trying to find nice winter boots.
This is a problem as mine is like 10cm bigger than average making it impossible to get anything higher than my ankle :(

So Finally I not only found a boot for 37cm calf's..I also found a leather worker willing to make them 3cm bigger so they fit...
So first a pair of brown ones and now a week later a pair of black ones..
Yeah I know they are expensive like hell..BUT!

Now I don't need to buy anything in winter boot way for at-least 7 years (my last one pair hold for 5 years with some uhm..zipper fixing etc)

This is perfect..and so worth the damn money, don't argue with me..
Even Centi agrees..or hes just bored to death running around every shoe shop in Stockholm trying to find me new shoes^^ 
You pick.

So I had made my self very prepaired...

and then only two weeks before I was suposingly to leave my workplace after 5 years I got on-boarded on new stuff..In Canada.
Yep..so I'm now helping Canada to survive GSAP and help to create and roll out all the processes within the supply chain.
I haven't gotten to go there..yet..but think that will be a future discussion.
So contract now expires end of November but I'm not to worries really.I am more than busy and there is no way we can get everything in place in just a few months.

So seems I will be staying for a while^^ 
Woop Woop :)

No Stress....

Leaving my workplace

as I told you before..bisy fall...

so I will be leaving Norway and my workplace in end of september, after 5 years of blood, sweat and laughter.
The organisation is starting to stabilisize and moving on to a more facilitating type or organization.

There is still a lot of change happening but not anything bigger really.
so I'm in a cross-row of wanting to stay in the stabile environment where I know everyone and everything and at the same time..starting to feel the urge to move, to see and to explore more organizations. Its a strange feeling, Ive been working with my colleagues for so long I'm going to miss em all.

I have so many great memories of our struggle, disagreements, firefighting, crizis, breakthroughs, all the meetings, dinners and our celebrations when we managed to kill of challange after challange, knot by knot straightening out the supply chain and becoming an even more successful organization.
Its been truly a journey worth all the work, with all the caring people in the organization that made all of this possible.

I wish you all a fantastic continues of your journey...its time for me to jump of the train and climb into the next one to seek new challenges and new adventures.
I wish you all, all the best and thank you for everything you shared with me <3 br="br">
Love

Gaia

Bisy fall

Hi all,
I know..long time, no see.
Its because Ive lived under a stone all summer...naah not really.
Started up with getting our kitchen in place and now the tiles are in place as-well.
the house has been a journey to renovate.
and when one thing is done..I just find 15 new things I want sorted so were not anywhere near to done. good thing is that there is not that much expensive projects left..mostly building storage areas, changing wallpapers and finding doors indoors that we both like.
Aim is ofc still to move form here in like 6 years when the economy is a a bit better and buy the dream home ;)

So ofc you are curious to death how it looks now right?....here it comes...^^
Yeye, I know..no tiles...putting those pics up in a few..just wait and see...:)

Gaia turns 33

yeah..and we forgot all about it :/
The weekend we spent at Globen..training our bodies to death..
Best Combat class ever followed by Grit from hell and then when I was about to faint it was time for CX.
I had to jump the Balance class otherwise I wouldn't get anything to eat which sucked..anyways after lunch we run all over Annexet to the Pump class and stood in the very middle middle of the room.
The energy was magic and I was so filled with endorphins (Or Celsius, you pick) when heading.

Had my house filled with happy people all at the event and earlier that week we had like 4 more people due to the Lady Gaga concert.

There is some good sides to live in Stockholm noways..and that is that my friends has a place to crash at when they visit the Swedish capital. ofc it is not a bad thing we live walking distance from the globe where all the party is^^

anyways after super Saturday ..day..the evening came and the after party started at ambassadeur.
So much pretty people..so many beautiful girls and good looking abs..uhm..men^^
We chatted for a few hours but when doors opened to the public we hit back home. Leaving the place we walk pass the 40 min long que to the place.
I look at the girls in the loong loooong line and think..
"If you would know that in there you have the entire training population of the Nordics, bodies like gods...would you still think its worth standing in this line for 40 mins?"

and you can just imagine the guys faces when they realize that every damn girl in that place has a body to die for..hahaha

Midsummer

Hi again, yeah I know..bombarding today..I have for so long been making theese drafts of what I need to write about and so much has just happened in my life and home so I just have no time to write about it.

Anyways..its june..and in mid june in Sweden we celebrate Midsummer.
This is how one can describe it....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8ZLpGOOA1Q&feature=youtu.be

This is how our neighbours are celebrating it:

Happy midsummer everyone^^

Summerburst 2012

Ok so the good thing living in Stockholm is ofc that everything happens here really.
All cultural events, all fun museums all movie shoots well almost eveything.
Last year me and Centi was at Summerburst..it was the first time we had a outdoor House musicparty in Sweden...in like...ever!

I showed some pics but didnt talk that much about the lineup.
Nor whis year its not only bigger and better but they sold out in less than a week.
25000ppl bought tickets and the lineup is pretty amaizing not to mention the media survailance on the internet and FB on the event.

Etohain joined us and weather was fantastic all friday and from 18,00 on saturday..yes right..it was a 2 day party this year:P

Here is som informaiton about the line up...in english even^^

http://www.beatmyday.com/2012/06/17/summerburst-festival-in-stockholm-sweden-2012/#axzz1y8KxMPKi

and here is some pictures we took :)
I btw seriously start to like my new phone again..thanx Eo for giving it to me...the cam pics are so much better than I ever expected. <3

The event makers learned so much from last year..everyowhere you could pay with VISA cards now.. there was atleast 200% more toilets and 600% more foodplaces. I litterately didnt que in nor out wich is amaizing. Really good party, good music, happy people!

Only down side was that snce it was "outdoors" ppl smoked...so clothes got burnt on the dancefloor area and the carpets they had put on the floor to protect the arena had burnmarks everywhere since poeple smoking just drops the ciggarette on the ground when done..discusting.
So for next year I would hope there is no cigarettes allowed.

For next year....we are going again! Want to join us?

Pictures of our livingroom/kitchen area

Here you have the finished pictures of all the work the past few weeks.
Enjoy :)

but now then starts the biggest challenge. Tiles and wallpaper.
Yeah u heard me..tiles for the kitchen and I just seriously need to get rid of that horrible epileptic wallpaper behind the huge painting (last picture)
so here is what Im thinking:

We have all cabins in white, all handles in brushed steel, workbenches are walnut.
tiles needs to be semidark.
we cant take white because then the entire freakking room is white and I dont want that.
But the wallpaper grey/black flowers *turns green* looks like a child wrote on the wall..needs to disappear. So...wallpaper that matches or at least picks up some of the colors in the room.
This int easy folks.
do u know how many producers of wallpaper there is? I dont but apperently more than companies that makes tiles. Its a djungel dammit.

So been googling the past days..discussing and came up with one wallpaper and one set of tiles...
now Centi decided tiles..so I think its just fair if I get to pick the wallpapers..right?

So here is a homemade collage of the two...ofc this can change like 500 times more but this is one suggestion atleast..your the first ones to see it so Im hoping for some comments.

Its actualy funny..I never get comments(more than spam) and yet still I have a shit loaf of ppl according to blogger that reads my blog..strange isnt it?
ofc ther eis no so much to comment on someones life but still :P

anyways..enough monolog..what do you think?

The tiles are 2x2cm mosaik called Höganäs CC Golden line brown.

The wallpaper (InTrade "Reflex") is actually not like that really the stripes goes from top to bottom but I want it in this direction so me and Centi just need to figure out how to get them in place:P
You start from roof to floor even though u do it in the "wrong" direction right?

So the kitchen.....

Here it is...without tiles and cover sides for the lamps..we need to decide tiles and wallpaper and shit befor eth erest can be put upp.
But this is our new 7,5 meter kitchen with a baking area and a bar desk to sit at.

Quite a difference right?
The fridge and freezer arrives next week so now I need ot get all my shit in place and be ready to get the last electronics in place :)
Im so happy Im about to faint..Finally I can start living in this shithole called capital of Sweden :P

Day and night....

Working day and night...from monday at 10AM til tuesday at 23,00 CET.
The guys barely slept and even when doing that they made up new plans for how to fix the kitchen.

Nothing was missing..I mean...NOTHING. We gotten a "goodiebag" witht he delivery with extra of every crew, plug and shit we ever might need but then the problems arrised...
The fridge and freezer is 180. the cabins above is just 40. its going to be a huge gap between the two.
and it just looks shit if we dont get the cabins same hight from the roof...
So in the late mondya evening..with BBQ and beer infront of them the guys figured it out.
Lets build int he electronics!! Lets build a cabin arround the two..that way we can rase them from the ground..and get it symmetric and goodlooking. Perfect!
And that they did...

And so the work begins...

with gettign the new kitchen in place ofc..
But before that I need to tell you..
that friday when it all was sorted I got a text message from above..the handymen were going to be 1 day late..so they arrived at 10aM on monday morning..
Kitchen was in place..and all my electronics. I have a few more grey hairs but...
....Its a fucking miracle.

But we had decided we needed help to tear down a wall aswell.
Its a wall doing no good except creating a 1,5m wide corridor between the livingroom and our computer room. so we wanted it cut in half...

So when the handymen came..they had some serious work to be doing...

after some serious fighting over the phone...

There was finally a decission made..lets use UPS to ge tht ekitchen to Stockholm.
EPOQ ( The company we purchaged the kitchen from) calls the trucking company up at 12,00 CET wednesday. And calls back to me.
-Gaia, I have bad news...the truck with your kitchen already left.
-WHAT?!?! but hten its ok they should arrive latest friday here in Stockholm so we can get out kitchen then...
-No..we need to get it to our central storage..repack it to an other truck and check so everything in the order is in place. But if I say we come with it first thing 8am on Monday morning..is that ok?
-Not really but what can i do...I think I can keep my handymen bisy from 6am on mondya mornign until the kitchen arrives so ok..deal.
But you better have everything in the delivery or I go nuts and bananas on you.
-With every right, I just hope this is all of it.

Few hours later phone rings...
-The telescopic addition to your owen..we found some here in the back..do you want ot come and pick them up or do you...
-Send them with the post..they are not big and I can pick them up closer than going 60mins one way to your store
-Ok, Ill put them comming today already so you shouldhave them tomorrow.

few hours more, phone rings again.
My heart kinda stops every time and I have started to hate the fucking signal, just bringing bad news again for sure.
- Hi its form electrolux...your stew..we are out of the sort you want..so we have 2 options..you wait for us to produce it or we try finding somethign else.
- Ok I can take somehtign else but it better have all the functions i want!
-I´ll check and call you back!

10mins later..phone rings again..SHOOT ME!!
-Hi Gaia, I have good news.
-*exhales*
-We dont need to replace the stew...
-Oh?
-No there is someone that has put one away for safekeeping for an other customer..and since you have had more than you share of problems I just give that one for you and the other customer can just take an other one or hope tha tin 2 months time whne he is to get his kitchen the stew is back in stock.
- Great news..when can i get it?
-It son its way already^^
-Fantastic! And wkilest Im talking to you..we need to buy a freezer and a fridge..and since you pitty me crazy lot you give me a fair prize kompensating for my sorrows and heartfailures the past week right.

Murphy fucking hates my guts...

So the journey with our kitchen begins...
We picked out everythign we wanted in march..and delivery was to come 29/5.

Well that wasnt goign to happend for sure..
15h before delivery I get a phonecall
-Hi Gaia, I have some bad news. the telescopic function you wanted incerted in your owen..we havent been able to get hold of them via Electrolux so you wont recieve them tomorrow morning as agreed originally.
-Hey, ok as long as that is the only thing missing *joking*

14h before delivery phone rings
-Hi Gaia we have a problem :/
-Oh..what is my entire kitchen forgotten? *joking*
-uhm...yes.
-*silence*
-Our driver from the Czech republic has some car troubble so he has not left Czechia yet. But your kitchen is on its way so we need to book a new delivery date.
-Ok fine..as long its here befor eend of week things should be fine..my handymen arrives sunday to start working.
-Im sorry but I was thinking end of next week.

What the hell happened?!?!




To be continued.......

Whilest parents working indoors...

The cats outdoors is mocking Xa and shes constantly stressed out they might come to close to the apartment door. So shes guarding the front door with her life.
Ofc the cats knows shes stuck in her leash so they go just so she cant reach them and sits down refusing to move regardless of how much shes barking.

I can show pictures of our outdoors later...now you just literately see the ground only :)
But we learned..
1bark= a dog
several barks= cats
Crazy hysterical never-ending barking= cats taunting her or Tyson :P
Tyson is the neighbor dog..its a little hairy fluffy thing that wants to kill Xa.
Last time he made an effort i had to hold Xa in the air so she wouldn't just take him over hes back..and while Xa was standing on her back legs...Tyson bit her in the ass.
I can tell you..next time I'm not holding her in..and there is no Tyson any longer.
he just ran out through the door when his "daddy" came home and he saw her he literately flew out to kill her. Crazy dogfucker.

Lefsovers...

So here is what is left of that old kitchen from hell....

Yeah and a pic of Centi with my sunglasses on..that was ofc until I found my safety helmet from work that had safety glasses in them so then he looked like a oil-rig worker.half naked one but anyways.
We were laughing pretty hard... That is the fun part.
Me and Centi are constantly "nagging" but more in a friendly way than u know..fighting and couples renovating is usually a damn struggle.
People just cant seem to agree at all whilst there is any kind of garden or in house work to be done..
We have just realized we are the opposite..when were have shitload of stuff to do we are really good at teamwork. whilst us being bored..its a fight! :P
Renovating is good for our relationship..ofc during the sunny days we were indoors tearing the old shit down...Xa did something totally different....^^

Stockholm Marathon

My belowed friend Sofia came up to Stockholm to run her first marathon this year. Her goal is to run the NY Marathon in 2012 if I dont recall wrong.
She runs in an Angel costume in her role as "Superheroes against Cancer".
This means that when we came to the Stadion where the start (And Finnish) line was, our little Angel with fluffy wings just ran arround givign out posters to people.
So we lost her in the crowd...
but ofc we found great spots to look the start from when she ran her 42km so we saw her in the start of the race and hten I hooked up with her every 10km to check so everythign was ok and that she didnt need anythng.
Yes...it was seriously raining like crazy, it was cold as hell and worst of all..we did not run we walked arround the city for 4 fucking hours.
For our little angel it went really nicely..4h 10mins and she had completed her marathon..what an achievement. I seriuosly was about to start crying when she ran through the gates toward the finnishline. My little angel.

Here is her blog and her story..though in Swedish so it might be hard for all the foreign readers but still you can look at the pictures I post above :)
