For me;=)

In 1,5 month I have my 40th birthday and today I decided what I will give myself;=)

I have been thinking about buying a small car, like a Mini Cooper or maybe a nice bag or something... but no.... today I thought about what gives me joy and keep my spirit strong every day even the days when I feel sad or tired. First of all, of course, my lovely children and Johan, but a thing that is not a person. A thing that I need in my life all the time...

So, the new thing I´ll give myself is......drum roll.....tada!!!


A new much better tread mill to do my daily runs on!!!! I feel so content now and this is for sure a great gift for myself and for my health and mind. Now I can go into the big 40 and keep fit and hopefully also feel younger by keeping spirit and mind in shape.

  1. Hi Anette,
    i think that you have done the best choice to keep you in a good shape. About the car... it's your 4x4 or with thermal tires?

    Have a nice day!

    Hugs

  2. Does this mean you won't go running outside anymore?

  3. Hello Anette.

    "Big" age you can call 60 years or more.
    You are in middle age (30-50).
    And if someone will tell to you - "Oh, Anette, you are 40 ! You are too old for metal band" - then you should know that this person is just fucking with you.
    I have never occasion to meet you personally, but you absolutly look to be in good shape.

    Regards;

  9. Going to 40 and still looking like you're in your early 30s and sometimes even late 20s.
    But the most important thing is feeling young.

  14. Hej Anette!

    Bra att veta att allt går bra för dig! Och hur är din ben(hoppas att det inte fins längre något ont i den)?
    Jag har en fråga till dig. Men innan jag frågar, måste jag akta dig, eftersom den är jättegalen och modig. Men först får du veta lite om mig:
    Jag heter Matej och jag är 22 år gammal. Mitt hemland är Slovakien. Här studerar jag svenska på universitetet nästan i fyra terminer. En av mina största drömmar är att åka till Sverige och studera där åtminstone på en termin. Men jag är rädd för att det kommer att alldrig hända. Jag vet att jag måste förbättra min svenska väldigt mycket. Och så fick jag den här modig idén:
    Jag undrade, om jag inte kan komunicera med dig på något sätt ibland. Jag vet, att det låter jättekonstigt. Också är du kanske rädd, att jag inte är väm som jag säger. Det förstårs värkligen.
    Men du kan bli säker, att inte någon få att veta, vad vi pratar om, och att jag är ärlig. Inte häller vi måste prata om Nightwish, om du inte vill. Det förstårs, att det fins saker, vilka du inte kan eller vill prata om.
    Jag ska göra allt för att pröva, att vad jag har skrivit är sant. Jag vet att det kommer att bli svårt - det är inte lett att tro på någon man inte känner till. Det vet jag. Du kan föreslå vad som helst.

    I alla fall, tack, att du översatte artikeln i Nynäshamnsposten för oss.

    Tack (även du inte kommer att svara)!

    Hälsningar från Slovakien

    PS:
    Om du har läst detta, svara tack. Om du inte svarar, kanske kommer jag att skriva detta några gånger till och så bli inte arg tack.

    God natt!

  15. Good evening Anette,

    Well, I think this is a wonderful thing to get yourself for your 40th birthday, and especially if you are so happy and content with your choice, then it definitely sounds like the thing to do :). I would also like to say…you don’t look 40 at all to me. And trust me, I wouldn’t say that just to be nice, I think you look extremely fresh and youthful still, perhaps around early 30s. The first time I ever saw you was in the Bye-Bye Beautiful music video, and I first assumed you were in your late 20s then. Anyway, I think this is a wonderful gift to give yourself. Something that you really love to do and that is extremely good for you :). Exercise, organic/healthy food, love, and good morals are some of the most important things to leading a strong, happy, and healthy life :).

    So, I also wanted to thank you so much for all of the pictures you’ve been putting out recently and for the translation of the article. It was very nice to read it…quite deep. It’s really so wonderful that there are people like you for children to look up to. For these days role models really shape children’s lives, and so many role models out there are only still children themselves and far too irresponsible and rash to be a good example. It makes my heart ache to think of what you went through as a teenager and young adult…but now it has helped shape you into the strong person you are, and because of it you are able to really help and connect with other people who suffer from those things.

    Anyway, thank you for all of the pictures once again. You always look so stunningly beautiful :), and I really do like your new hair quite a lot, and it’s so nice to hear that you’re pleased with it, of course. I personally do prefer you with black or blonde hair, I think it makes you look more striking, but it’s your hair and you should have it whatever color you want :). I do think the red looks beautiful and very fresh and fitting for the summer :).


    Take care!

  27. Hej Anette!

    Honestly saying I have never tried to run on a tread mill. It would be practical if it's miserable weather outside.

    Take care! :)
