The computer tells me it is time to get rid of some stuff from the hard drive, otherwise it will crash… I do not get rid of stuff, I save them somewhere else. This blog is a great place to save things, at least as long as the platform will live. Found these ones from…

T as in family
It is clear that all things are relative. Would I entitle my family (me, my parents and sister) as close? Maybe not, but still… yes, very. In the family I was brought up in we fight a lot (but way less now then before) but maybe we were just loud. We do not call each…
Pink knee high laqcuer boots – or the courage to live your life as you want it
On my way home after a weekend with friends in our lovely capital. These are friends from pree-school, junior high and high school. Friends which you can share inner most true feelings with as well as make (un)suitable age jokes with. The shopping gave way for discussions and sharing. I quitely wonder what it is…
Going down
It is here, the flu, not the sick flu, the fever flu. And the husband is snoring so I had to move :(. That is how things are.
Back to the future
Soon 20 years ago I found this guy (with the little help from my friends) that later became the father of my children, and later became my husband. When we met he was already long down in the addicted claws of it. Soccer. He was pretty good. As a young adult he got to try…
I can only blame myself
I sometimes wonder if I made such a wise choice back there in 1993. If I really thought it so very well through in March 2003 (I can guarentee that I was not thinking at all). And why I said yes at all the 27 of October 2012?! Because, who in their right mind wants…
I choose to call it “stuck in a development step”
Some might call it crisis. I think I might have done that to. But to stay prosperous and cheerful I choose this more forward looking terminology. I thought I had mine 40-year crisis some years ago. And therefore convinced that this would mean I wouldn’t get one closing in on 40… All of a sudden…
Christmas getting closer
Christmas is getting closer. I love this time of year, thee Christmas tree will move in this week-end. I think I love this time because I am a sucker for having it cosy. Lit candles and a fire in the fireplace (preferably with snowstorms outside) all this . To create a warm and safe feeling…
Stockholm part II
So, Sam and I (Fabian choice this week-end to become sick, so Sam was forced to accompany me) arrived safely in a snowy Stockholm. We (or I) had booked a ghost walk in Gamla stan. OK, but not especially scarry. But to do it in knee deep snow and with more coming was brilliant. What…
The best day of the week
I would love to be able to title this post “My favourite time of the day”. But let’s face it, we are not there yet. But it happens at least once a week now and it is a real pleasure. My HUSBAND and I sit at while longer after dinner and talk when the boys…
Words
When the husband last week atttended an assesment, he got a question about me… What characteristics he saw in me, his wife. Smart, energetic and darn attractive. Always fun to hear good thing about oneself. In this case surprising might be considered the right choice of word. Wasn’t sure he had any thoughts about me…
T -24 days
Yes, it might be a bit over the top, I agree, especially since we just returned from the States. But I want to treat my boys equal. Not saying I should treat them the same, they are two different individuals and need different support in life. But I do not want to give more more…
EST or CET or a little bit of both
I think I am in two times zones… I am a little tired all day and fall quickly asleep almost everywhere, like on a concert, and it was not bad at all, quite to opposite. But I have a hard time getting to sleep. Sorry about my poor blogging these days. Naturally it has to…
Pontus Höök & formal wedding pics
We did not invite anyone to our wedding, but as we wanted you to be able to share it with us, in one way or another, we invited Pontus Höök. Pontus is a Swedish NYC based photographer. His editorial style, totally opposite my own romantic, is one of the reasons I love his pictures and…
Elvis and the Keys
We are about to arrive in sunny and warm Key West. Elvis with Jail House Rock on the radio. Can’t become more American than this.
Heading south
After some great days in Orlando we are about to head south to the Keys tomorrow. Life is grand.
20 yrs later
In June next year we have been together for 20 yrs. We celebrate it in advance wih a rooftop wedding in DA city. New York. To our help we had Pontus Höök, who took this picture and like a million more. So looking forward to see the resultat of his job. Read his blog here….
Nothing really happens
My life contains work at the moment. 40 hrs a week, or actually more. Complained to the Mr that we do not really socialize at the moment. But the the neighbour came by so that is nor entirely true. Have a good Friday all.
… And by the way
As my last post stated. We have turned pages and start off fresh. But do really my sons think I turned 78… But it is the thought that counts right?
Monday
Maybe I should get over it. Get over it and get up. The Mr’s alarm went off almost an hour ago and I, I was planning to sleep for an hour. Didn’t happen so let’s go up and kick-off this Monday!
All you need is love
Tired, as one only can be after driving in 1.5 hrs through the worst of rains. Just after flying in from Amsterdam after 3 days of meetings. Coming home to the best of worlds. Two children so happy to see me (!) and who continue to show their affection through kisses and cuddles all evening….
Date night
Yes, I know. A date night is supposed to be with your husband/wife/partner. But on Saturday I will have one with my oldest. I am taking Sam to the theatre watch a dance show. He would like to be able to do cool dance moves but no real desire to learn himself. But I still…
A piece of heaven
Just returned from a short trip to Denmark’s capital, Copenhagen. The reason for our trip were Chris, Jonny, Guy and Will. The four awesome members of a group called Coldplay. It was a long time I was at a concert of such celebrate. For me Coldplay is foremost subtle. But the show yesterday was nothing…
Love
True love is simple, it could be to prepare tonight’s dinner even if you are not home your self.
Time in forrest
Today, a very tired Mr and one not so tired me, took the brothers and the dogs for a forrest walk. I never been the biggest advocate for the forrest, I am a more a beach and ocean person. But I have to say together with the Mr, the kids and the dogs, also the…
Right here, right now
We’re at Nimis. Just for the record, I am so happy.
Windy Varberg
Today’s outing was Varberg. And what a windy day it was. Perfect for surfers. We saw a number of kite surfers hitting the waves. The destination for our execursion was Varberg fortress. We ran out of time for the vampire exhibition :(, but the Bockstens man and a dramatized tour of the fortress we did….
Thunder
One week gone, two weeks to go. Wonderful vacation. Had good times so far and also time for the first family fight. Well, well we will get over that to.
Friendship
Tuesday, four friends came together from different parts of the country. One I have known for over 30 (! OMG) years, the others from high school, which means a good 20… The social media thing makes its easier to stay in touch and be updated, but that isn’t what it is about. It is the…
Sweet Sunday
After some hours of working the lazy Dock/Persson family took the bikes and left for a in the moment outing. It is great to be able to do now when Fabian has a bigger bike and can manage a faster tempo. All in all we did 11 km with two sporadic stops with friends along the…
Loathe
There is nothing I loathe more than people who do not have the ability to argue and reason. It is one thing to be ignorant (to have facts wrong), or having a difference of opinion. But people (are they really?), who only say things but can not argue for them, who claim you are wrong…
Life
In the distance I hear the cover band blasting “We’re not gonna take it”. Going to bed after a summer’s party in the beautiful Österlen with the best of people. The Mr is enjoyong himself dearly and it makes me so happy to see him. Love to everyone out there, and remember, it doesn’t become…
OMG
I just recorded my Mr’s snoring and is actually considering to share it (if I can share sound). God, he (the Mr not the other one, at least not for recording aweful sounds) will kill me. But it sure will be fun to share with him tomorrow. Sometimes I adore my sense of humor.
H.A.P.P.Y
Happiness is to sit in your own garden and watch the love of your life getting his butt kicked by your offsprings.
Intelligence or the lack of it
To come home, lay down in the lap of your love, get the best cuddle in your hair and dooze off for a minute or 30 is NOT the most intelligent. Best for sure, but not intelligent. Because when it is time for that real bedtime you are not so tired anymore… Just saying.
