Times goes soooooo slowly sometimes. Like when you are longing to go visit your grandmother. To the first, all by your self, stay over at her house. Time should really go faster.
Stumble up on
I stumbled upon this blog (OK, I admit, I was looking were my post ended up in the Parenting category… vainity, vanity, vanity). I have the sense that I have heard that blog name, Life in the trenches, before, but I am also sure that I haven’t read anything by her. But I will as of…
Gearing up
Yesterday I ended a project (even though it for technical reasons can’t be called project internally… yes, it is important to focus on the real business critical things… ) that I have been running since mid December. It has been great fun with great people. On Monday I’ll start in a new one. Not running…
Spring
Today our long-haired family greeted spring with a 2 k walk in the forrest. Celebrating that spring is officially here. How fantastic it is! Sun! And to some extent heat. During the 2 K walk we had Fabian gone missing (but luckily Kinchie found him). Only once and that was quite surprising that it only…
Never again
One should never say never and I know it won’t be never. But I hope it will take a while before I need to do this again. Work a five day week. Meaning have a two day week-end. How poor it is. Have you any idea how little you can do in two days. No,…
A good day
I am in the end of my project delivery. I have therefore decided to prolong my week with work tomorrow, instead of being off as I usually am. No, worries I will take another day off. Today I had really a really good day, feeling that I (the project) could deliver many of the things…
Malicious delight
I do try to be a good person. Doing things and acting in a way I’d like other people to do towards me etc etc. But sometimes I just can’t help myself of feeling malicious delight. As when people very badly cover their envy (towards me and mine). I am just happy that I do…
You are amazing
My friend and I have been working on a project for a while now. Even if the page is in Swedish I would like to share it with you so please visit http://www.amazingyou.se Our starting point is that nothing is impossible and dreams are necessary. This is our base when working with Amazing you. As…
My mascara doesn’t think (at all)
At 8.20 pm the bag was returned to it rightful owner – me. After looking at myself in the mirror at work this afternoon, I felt that its return was close to a blessing. At least for my dear colleagues. I don’t even want to know what I would look like tomorrow with-out my Redken Wool…
Absolutely nothing
Landed at Copehnhagen airport at 9 pm yesterday. Good trip. Apparently Delft is so much closer than Lisbon ;). I was the only one, of my traveling companions (well, almost the only one on the plane) checking in my luggage. When leaving Lisbon I learnt the hard way why you check-in luggage if you have…
Come and fly with me
In a couple of hours I am on my way to the airport. Again. Usually my work do not require me to travel much (at least not for the time being), this week is an exception. Leaving on Sunday’s are not my favourite thing to do. It just feels a little harder in my mummy…
Home
Soon home. It is not so that I have been away for ages, we are talking two nights… But I miss them. My little ones. Good thing with technology. I have pictures, still and moving ones, of them with me all the time.
So much to do, so little time
My life is hectic at the moment. I should really be working now (on the plane home from LOVELY Portugal), but blogging is apparently so much more fun. But it is still hectic as in fun hectic. There is just so much that needs to come together in the next few weeks. And surely it…
Lisbon I like
I am in Lisbon for the first time in my life. In the taxi to the hotel, which I shared with my colleagues we realized how ignorant we were. We didn’t (and still does not) know anything about the country more than Vasco da Gama (who was the first one to sail from Europe to…
Things to celebrate and things to don’t
Yesterday I once again became aware of the importance of good leaders/managers. I am getting a new one for an assignment and does she make me motivated, or what? By helping me out, not in a life or death situation, but still in a situation that is important to me, she have recieved a very…
Right here, right now
… that is where I am, NOW. I have a hard time understanding people who always need to be going somewhere. Doing something. Always. Of course you should be developing and heading somewhere, but that doesn’t mean that one have be doin’ stuff every freaking moment! Like now, I kick back and relax, watching Top…
Remembered
He just called, the love of my life, and I got reminded of what really is important in my life. All fuzzy and warm I got inside.
Mixed feelings
Oh, what a weekend. I am not sure if it is a good or bad one. I guess both. It started off good with a lazy Friday, the Saturday day was hectic but fun and a lot of lessons learnt. However, it got a abrubt end which leads to a very tragic change in family…
Exhausted with a cold
I started the day with two painkillers, but seriously my day has been so filled with fun I do not think I needed them. Today has been all about hard work, I spent many hours by laying on the very dirty floor of a potato warehouse. I will soon share the result with you. On…
Customer services
or acctually the lack of it. How hard can it be? For a smaller company to call back to customers that have left a message. How hard can it be to have a system where colleagues cover for one another when on vacation. How hard can it be to help a customer, even though it…
Pissed off
There is one situation in life that makes me more pissed off than others. (Yeah, to be a happy camper I am quite upset in these days…) These are the times when people lie to me. It is probably not the lie in it self that pisses me off, but the fact that someone think…
Knowing vs thinking
In our household we have the saying: “To think, is to not know” (the same meaning as the “assume makes and ass out of u and me“). With my college degree in mind I know that there were really only ONE thing one learnt (besides a couple of models; “Bell-curve” SWOT-analysis and Boston matrix) during…
But this is good
One shouldn’t take me too serious, that is from a outburst perspective anyhow. I am an quite emotional person. Perfect artist soul. Meaning you shouldn’t take this heading too seriously either. I followed one of the PS tips from the blog in my previous post. It went kind of well. I am satisfied anyway.
Jävla skit
I choose to put today’s title in Swedish, because I would probably be banned from WordPress if I wrote it in English. In Sweden you don’t rot in hell for using bad language, even if I believe that one (meaning especially me) could use a better language at times. So why this title? Still not…
Getting down
With something. My body doesn’t feel well at all. This was not how I planned to spend the weekend. Far away from the hardcore training, shopping, dinner parties with champagne during hors d’oeuvres. Well, maybe not that much hard core training but I was not planning to feel fatigue when hitting the couch after dinner….
Writer’s cramp
I want to say something. I just don’t know what. I believe that it is wise to not say anything. So I do just that.
Social media cont.
I found this while browsing after naming conventions. I do find it very interesting in the context of freedom of speech. About social media policies
Not OK
What is happening right now is making me feel not OK. I’ll try another approach tomorrow.
Exhausted
If my brain was a city it would be Shanghai, Mumbai and Karachi all at once. Gotten myself (or through networking) some new photo assignments and there is a lot of work to do. Better go to bed. Grateful over the oppertunities I get Grateful over seizing them And grateful for the presious gift we…
Week-end over
I have, as you know by now, three day week-ends. This Friday I did however choose to work with my own company, followed by a surprise visit/fika by a friend and daughter. The evening ended after a girls night out at the “local pub”. Saturday went to not very much. Having a friend over for…
Tired
Today I am grateful for only one thing and that is the fact that I have a bed to go to sleep in.
Men vs women
I do not call my self as feminist. The only reason for that is that my view of feminists are women (yes, predominately women) with very left winged (nothing wrong, just not my cup of tea) viewpoints, wearing ugly clothes and eating very pale food like sprouts, cress and lentils. But foremost because by the…
Just realizing
The 3 (4) things in yesterday’s post were more expressed as things I was proud over, rather than thankful over. Guess I have some training to do.
3 things
Hmmm…. today’s three things are: Took the opportunity to have a good morning chat with the Sam. Too often one forget to talk about the good stuff someone does or is. Remembered to mail the swimming instructor about change of classes (OK did it in-between the point above, but I still remembered…) Made my first…
Housewife Friday
Baking is a great activity to do with your kids. Since I believe that we might have a future chef/baker in the house (possibly waiter, or waitress as he says), we did some baking today. Cinamonnerolls. National Swedish bun (?). Later he wanted to compose a soup. Really disgusting if you should believe Sam. And…
Heat
It is clear that humans and animals have more in common then one would first think. Our little four-legged (a description that should make everyone exclude me) bitch is in heat (again!) and she is really not her self. 😦 She doesn’t eat, not even her liver candy (yummy) and is just miserable. No,…
Social media future
My life is really filled with social media at the moment. I am working with it, I am doing it (here, FB, LinkedIn, Twitter (the last one there might be an exaggeration, I have an account, that is all). In other words, I am interested in it. Not so much (or at all) from a…
Seriously
How is it possible for a person to ask you to do something (say buy milk and bread) and when the task get passed back to him/her, asks if it is really necessary to do it? Seriously?
Giving thanks
No, I am not really religious in the conservative way. But I just reminded my self that I have not done that Oprah thank you thing in a while. So, today I am thankful that I was super efficient at work today… no, that is my employer who ‘s supposed to be thankful about that…….
Vacation
So, back from one week of skiing in the “Swedish alps”, Idre Fjäll to be more exact. First time out for us. Mr and I have been much more “kick-back-and-relax-on-the-beach-kind-of-vacationer’s”. But got to admit that this was fun. Personally I went through all the stages. From Monday’s “Gee, why do I not do this more…
Once again realizing
Tonight I once again realized that I can only take responsibility for my own actions. But it REALLY pisses me off when adults around me doesn’t and it effects my children.
September
This gal has been one of my favourites since 2006. She was in my iPod when running the 1o k race back then. Now she’s out with a English version of her cover of a Swedish hip hop … song (do hip hoppers do songs?)
Time goes by just liked the Righteous brothers sang
I was at the hairdresser today, getting blond again. It is only at the hairdressers I read the tabloids. And just as good. Heck, I do not know any of the people there. Well, it should be the Beckham’s then. The tabloids is not the proof that I am not getting old. I am old.
On the road again
Sitting in front of the macbook and googling. Looking for new houses. The house we live in is from 1934 and we have done extensive renovations on it. I love, that is why we bought it. The man, however, is longing for a modern home, architectural wise, so maybe we will build a new one….
