If there are any followers left to this blog, I really want to say “I am sorry.” I am so sorry that my post are not very frequent at the moment. I think it is a phase and after all it is OK. I have been blogging for some time now. Anyhow, as I am…
What ‘s important
If you only take one advise of all my wisdoms (yeah, I am full of them), I want you to stop (and I really mean full time stop, never evever going to do it again) doing things just because you think it is something you SHOULD do. That someone else want you to, or for…
Mentioned
Me and me and my partner Marianne got mentioned in a blog post last week. Cool. I’ll promise to try do limit my marketing in my blog post, I’ll try. Sorry. The link is in Swedish, but Google translate says that it says (something like) this: “Hello all, Sitting right now on the train on my way…
Exploded
If you ever feel that there is a reson to get any information out of me and need to use tortyre in any way. I suggest you to use annoying repetition. That will crack me open like Chinese fortune cookie. It doesn’t matter if we are talking questions, actions or say sounds… I will provide…
Explode or implode
Don’t feel sorry for me, really don’t. I have put this upon myself and I have do cope… or there is always the choice to choose. I know already today that I will choose. I also know WHAT I will choose. The only thing I still do not know is when. Put something tells me…
Watch this (it helps if you know Swedish)
An emotional 5 minute film about cancer. Look at it (only in Swedish at the moment) and pass it on to make people aware about cancer and that it is not dangerous to talk about. To remeber that it is not dangerous to talk about anything connected to feelings.
A totally useless post
Full day meetings are a b**ch. Totally exhausted. Time to relax before heading to bed. I know, a totally useless post. And you read it. Sorry
Nervous
About to shoot my…sixth wedding. I am sooooo nervous. I guess it is good. It will keep me on my toes. But I donot enjoy it (to be nervous) at all.
Good? No freaking fabulous.
I constantly tell myself that I do not need other peoples confirmation to know I am a good photographer. But it sure doesn’t kill me. I posted a while back that a friend of mine said that I am quite good (at photography, among things). I value her view points since she is a good Art…
Bad parenting
Not only do I physically feel like crap. I also feel that I (once again?) is really screwing up this parent thing. I really hate when our children behave badly. And I react to this. And I do believe one should. However, I do believe I sometimes react to strong. I get too loud and…
It’s here
It is here. The cold. Let’s see how bad it becomes.
Stockholm in pics
Just a couple.
I really do not get it
Why do people pay you for thinking when they are not interested in your thoughts? And why on EARTH do they ask your for your opinion when they clearly do not want it. I neither see the business or common sense. Especially not the business one. Unfortunately, for me, it is pushing all my wrong buttons.
We are back
Back home after a fantastic weekend in our capital, Stockholm. The whole week-end turned out more than fabulous (well, except the incident with the garage door then, but we will leave it as vague a memory). Thanks to a friend we stayed in a really, REALLY nice hotel, Elite Marina Tower. We visited some other friends (or…
It’s coming
The other day I happened to mention that it would be good to become a little ill (a little? what was I thinking?!?!). Just to be able to stay at home and read some blogs. I am feeling it now. A cold coming closer… To just make sure, I will run my 10 k (16…
Favour
OK, folks. I really hate sales people, or the certain type of sales people who impose stuff. But on the other hand I realize that I won’t be able expand my business if I sit down quitely. So, therefore I would like you to, if you read this and have Facebook account: like (by pressing…
Better late than never
Yesterday, in-between thunderstorms and crayfish party no. II we had Fabian’s birthday party. As we as parents are kind of lazy we agreed or suggested (can’t remember which) to have it with a friend of Fabian’s. This resulted in a 17 kids (incl. sibbling) running around. Fortunately enough to live in the country side we…
Warm, smiling heart
There is nothing greater than the heart of a mother watching her sons being affectoinate towards each-other (let’s face it, mothers to sons, do not get it that often).
Colleagues
Many times, like today, when I really strongly feel like doing something completely different professionally. There is still one thing that stops me more from doing it. No, not the security of continious stream of things to do, not the money (LOL definitely not he money) it is my colleagues. Today there was a set…
Career coach
Today I contacted my old (old as in “I have had her before” not as old wrinkled person) career coach, for some continuation in my personal development. Last time she helped me help myself to starting my own company. Wonder what she will help me to this time? I am hoping for some millions in…
Fuck
Just written a post over my 80’s favorite films. It got lost in cyberspace.
Realized
I think of myself of doing pretty good. In the sense that I know what I want but is humble about it. Putting my family (kids and partner) first without forgetting myself and my wants. At the same time I do live with a man that is open for communication and solutions that benefit us…
Soccer
I might have mentioned to you that the Mr was quite good at soccer when being younger. Our first son doesn’t seem to have inherited that gene, actually he doesn’t seem to have inherit any sports gene. Which of course doesn’t matter, we love him to death anyway. (And don’t we all regret that we…
Back as no. 1
Yesterday my sister and mother and I went to see one of my favourite singers. He is so special to me he is on my freebe list. Which is quite a waste since he is already married, to a bloke. Anyway, the concert was magical. Peter and Cookies n Beans was as always a delight…
Me – a role model?!
Last weekend I met this wonderful 14-year old photgrapher (if only I had the nerve to call me that at 14). She made this wonderful blog post about me (sorry in Swedish only). Please see beyond the wrinkles… I truly wish I was 14 again or 22 would be enough. And then with the same focus,…
Do I got things to tell you
During my trip to Lisbon I have read some and do I have some truths to tell you. It won’t be today though. Instead I share some pictures from last week-end and the most awful day out for this family. We might look pretty happy on the pictures, but I can tell you – we…
Gender
I can’t help my self. I need to return to this discussion about equality between the sexes. It is still so, generally, that more women in Sweden take, consiously or not, more responsibilty for the home, family and children. Generally. Generally, or straight facts I would say, more women than men work part-time. Is it…
Mummy
Someone is calling “Mummy, Mummy!”. But it is not me who they are calling for. My kids are away with there fabolous father. I, I am home alone drinking wine. Life is good.
Note to self
Next passport photo, go slow on the eye make-up. Goth is not really you.
Life little treats
I hope it is me who is really untechnical blond. Because I do not want the dish-washer to be broken… to. We have already bought a new router/modem and a new bike (for Fabian, not the Mr) this month. We do not need more boring expenses.
Häxan surtant (The cranky witch)
I love when my kids are smart asses with a sense of humor. People who truly knows me and they are not that many (my neighbours do however), knows that I have a bad temper. I explode and get really really loud. Since I see that this is something that rubs of easily to my…
By the way
Ok, so we didn’t do much this vacation (hardly met our parents). But we did play a lot of UNO with they boys. It is so fun to play games when the whole family can join. Sam is still a poor looser, but made it through if you played another round… 😉 But do you…
Time to summarize
So, four weeks have passed. Our vacation is over. No, I am not gonna lie to you. I do not need a job to fullfill my self. I need money, that is why I work. So when the Lotto ticket cashes in, you wont see my at my day-job anymore. I’ll find other things to…
Fashion thoughts again
This time I swear it will be different. This season I will know what will is hot in the world if fashion. I will. I will…
And the rain keeps poooring down
This summer has not provided us with much sun or heat. It is cloudy and it is raining. I won’t be the most sun-tanned gal back in the office in a week’s time. But on the other hand I would have been even if the sun had been shining. You can however stroll in the…
Norway
I pray that I never will be in the situation many Norwegian parents are in today. I notice that yesterday’s attacs in Norway have a hard time to sink into my consiousness. Love and respect one another.
What if…
… what if I just should do it? Should I?
For crying out loud
I am amazed (and not in a good way) over today’s parents total lameness (yes, this is a word, from now on if nothing else). How is it possible that our generation consists of this universe’s worst leaders? Of people that can’t decide over their children. That can’t understand that it is primarely you, as…
What a day
I do not see myself as especially ambitious. I do however see me as most efficient (at times). Today was one of those. Up early to get some editing done, cleaning the house (well organizing anyway), business breakfast, strategic planning, photo shoot, editing, preparations for BBQ party with friends (baking etc), BBQ party, laughter, watching…
In Stockholm
My sister and I took the boys to Stockholm. We had three very intense days. In hind-sight they boys (and their mum) did well. I have always claimed that you can go on city vacations with children. As long as you do the city with activities that are fun for the kids, which excludes all kind…
Fashion thoughts
Just back after three days “vacation” in the capital of Scandinavia/Sweden – Stockholm. What a beautiful city, the nature and architecture is grand. It is amazing how a city can be so coherent with the culture it represents. It became very evident to me this time visiting. Swedes do not want to stand out. In…
Mmmm vacation
Our first week of vacation is coming to an end. It has been a good one. With some of those things that we needed to get done (cutting the hedge, at least part of it, painting one of two sides of the house, gotten rid of the two longest heaters in the world, which have…
Me + Your life = true
I made it! I am one of favve magazine Your life’s guest editors. Check it out (swedish only)! http://yourlife.nu/artiklar/2011/gastredaktor-vanner/
Life changes
Is it not wired? How you one day can be heading in one direction and, in the next, the world as you know it has totally changed and you need to head in another. Or at least you need to head to your goal via a different path. This is why I believe that it…
It is good to be good but still willing to improve
By now I have shot three weddings. I am getting better and better which is good for the last ones out on the 16 of July. I still have things to become better at, but still I give myself a pat on the shoulder and a hug for doing more than OK. As always we…
