Surprise!

New Moon!

Had an AWESOME night out with the girls; Kitty, Nana, Viktoria and Alex. Seen New Moon and sooooo loved it, awesome evening! Apart from the ten thousand teenage girls trying to ruin our evening hahahaha, they kept screaming! I will have to see this film again, to be able to fully appreciate it (it does sort of ruin the mood when you're about to see a romantic movie kiss and the kids start screaming, which is followed by "SSSCHHHH!" and "SHUT UP!") ;-) Dunno about the three men in the audience, atleast I couldn't hear them through all the female noises...

Went home by subway, Kitty and I went the same way, and when I got home I did what I usually do - put the key in the locker and open the 2 meter high iron street door. However, this time was different...

MY KEY DIDN'T WORK!

I'm outdoors, Daniel wont be home for another hour, it's dark and I don't have my warm jacket on and MY KEY WONT WORK! I gave Daniel a call and I'm so glad he could hear his phone through the noise on the K1 gala! He gave me one of our neighbours telephone number whom I texted, but as it took a while and started to rain heavily aswell (haha, classic!) I decided to re-establish some childhood skills - CLIMBING! Quite enjoyed it to be honest :-D As soon as my feet where back on the ground our neighbour came through the door (oh, the timing...), not sure if he saw me climb or not *cough*

The good, the bad, the delicious

Aloha! Today is Wednesday, although it's been feeling like a Friday, the working week is coming to an end. Stayed home from work three days last week due to not being well, feeling better now but still not all good. Bloody sinuses, do you think one can have them removed?

As you all know, selling our apartment haven't been the easiest with it being November and most people focus on Christmas. We've gotten a bid, 150 000 SEK less than we want, so turned it down and prepared ourselves mentally on selling it in January instead. Then, on Monday, our estate agent phoned to let us know he'd gotten a call from a person wanting to come have a look. We decided on Tuesday at 5PM, so we spent Monday evening vaccuming and fixing at home, and Tuesday being hopeful. Five minutes past five, the estate agent called this woman to see if she found her way...

- Oh, I'm soooooooo-ooh sorry, something's come up so I can't make it and I TOTALLY forgot to let you know!

The estate agent then rang us to let us know and for obviuos reasons he was very upset! So were we of course, but hey, we are only human - sometimes you forget things... (I know, I'm a goldfish). We had hoped they could arrange for a new appointment but as we haven't heard from the estate agent today one might have to assume there wont be another one. OK, so January it is then! Best month of the whole year to sell an apartment, according to estate agents! Can't get better than that :-) The contract with our current estate agent will expire mid December, so we'll arrange for another estate agent to come help us instead. Can't wait!

This evening we made a fancy dinner, I made hamburgers and cooked potatoes, along with bearnaise sauce = OH MY GOD, delicious! :-D Felt like a true (desperate) housewife again, been a while since we tried something new for dinner :-) And there's no eeeend to the goodies - last night I made my gooey chocolate cake with whipped cream!

Friday: NEW MOON on the cinemas, and guess who's going? ;-)

Love, Lina

Lina = Smarties

Update on the apartment business! Had a second open display yesterday and I said beforehand that I'd be happy if we had five parties showing up...

W e l l, w h a d d a y a k n o w . . .

Five parties showing ;-) We have another open display this evening at 6.30PM and THIS time I'll be wishing for even more! ^_^ We'll be having dinner at the Thai Restaurant in our neighbourhood at the time of the open display, after that we'll be taking a long walk. Help us cross fingers please! Tonight is the night! :-D

Anywhoo, hopes are high, I'm positive we'll be one apartment shorter by the end of this week :-) Can't wait, I'm really looking forward to packing our stuff and getting things organized and planned hehe. Keep dreaming about how beautiful we will make it in our new apartment, feels great to get to try out an open design (for the kitchen/livingroom) as oppose to our current apartment.

As you can see I'm being naughty today - I'm having Smarties! We rent our coffee machines here at work, and sometimes when they come here for maintenance they bring us goodies :-D

Todays harvest: two tubes of Smarties! I sneaked away to give Daniel a paper cup full of em aswell ♥

Longing for bed, don't feel well at all... My head feels like it's filled with cotton, my sinuses wont stop aching and my throat is all swollen again (think I will have to remove it!). Will be having Tylenol Sinus Congestion to go with dinner hehe.

;-)

My darling Daniel helping me with my computer at work :-) Can only see the top of his head due to the table being at it's most elevated position. Charlotte from EDS is standing beside him but she's too short to show ;-) Not too long to go now, will be Friday for real sooooon!

Have a great weekend! ♥

Love

Freitag.

Could it be any better? :-D Been waiting for this day since Sunday haha! This week has been intense, busy at work with ups and downs. Some evenings we haven't had any energy to leave the apartment, some evenings we've been out for a couple of hours. Met some people that were unable to stop talking, and some people unable (or unwilling) to speak at all. Hopefully some sleep in tomorrow, before we go about it with all the tidying and cleaning. Another open display on Sunday and Monday! And this time I T - W I L L - W O R K - OUT - WELL.

Period. ;-)

Got my boots on today which came as a surprise even to me! The thing is, as my ordinary working trousers are in the laundry basket I've put on a pair of slim fit trousers, and for those I can't use my ordinary shoes. Hence the black boots - suddenly I look all posh ;-)

Fathers Day on Sunday, off to my parents in the evening for some coffee.

Sooo glad it's Friday. Phew.

For Daniel ♥

Thank god for Vicks Blue.

Today it's 39 days to go, and we're beginning to feel how it's actually for real - we ARE going to Pittsburgh! Made reservations for a hotel in New York (on Manhattan, wohoo!) and also flight which all is expensive of course but not something we didn't anticipate.

I'm at work, sitting on the heating cushion Daniel bought me this weekend, too bloody cold in this building! I'm still freezing but that's probably due to having a bit of a cold (sore throat and head feeling like a giganormous cotton plantation); this cushion rocks! Looking forward to coming home (well, after having bought fundamental nessecities like food etc) and crawling in under our brand new down comforter (thank you Lena and Tord!) in the sofa watching a movie. Looked at Reservoir Dogs last night, quite good with intriguing and fun monologue but a bit too bloody for my delicate taste.. ;-)

Been on the phone for the last hour + talking to our helpdesk. Need Java to be able to hand in a report on working hours every month, but now (SUDDENLY) it has stopped working so tried downloading it myself. No luck, of course, as I'm not the local administrator of my computer.. Helpdesk didn't succeed either, so will have to do a scan for viruses which is about an hour and then try installing it again. If that doesn't work they'll send me an onsight runner to help me out.

All this work to be able to get Java..

OH MY GOD WE'RE GOING TO THE USA! AND SOOOOOOON! And we're having tacos this evening.
