So...

...I have gotten questions about when my next question round will be and thats´s nice;=) But since I have had filled days now I havent had any time. But as soon as I get a evening less occupied I will do it;=) Be patient...

Got a lot done today...

and it feels soooo good,=) Ordered some things to the apartment and it will look great;=) A cool fuchsia coloured carpet to the living room to match the wall we are painting and a new bath room carpet in gold/vanilla.

Bought some new fresh flowers today too, as I have said before I love new and lovely flowers in my home. This time I skipped the roses since I wanted something new and I ended up with some Hortensias in the living room with new vases in cool colours. In the bath room some pimpernells in two colours and then the bed room white flowers which I forgot to ask what they were called,=(
On the table in the living room I put a decorated plate with roses that I found lovely;=)






Had very nice dinner company here tonight and the evening passed very fast like it does when you have nice and entertaining company,=) We ate good thai wok and then a big cake with strawberries and pineapple on the top. Yummie!
Hope you all had a nice day too;=)

Fixing...

...day today... need to get a lot of things fixed at home so today we will buy some new shelfs and closets and unpack some more boxes of clothes etc and also finish the painting of the wall...

I feel that my energy is high today so then I just need to use it and do those "boring" things;=)

On thursday I am going to a "pop-kollo" to talk to some girls in the age of 12-18 about singing in bands, being a girl in the music business and what turns to look out for etc... I am honoured to get to do that since I have dreamt about doing these kinda things for many years and now its the first time;=)

Pop-kollo is in english kinda music-camp so you know more what it is;=)

So, I also need to do some preparations for that and of course sing and practise for next weeks Suomi Safari;=)

Todays song is an old one with me and my former band Alyson Avenue. I will tell you more about my time with these guys another day but I can say that they are the best;=)

Do you remember...

...when we were kids? I do... when I was a kid we didnt have any internet, video player, tv games etc...all we had was two tv-channels and they mainly just showed things for kids half an hour a day;=)

My parents always told us to be outside to play. We rarely sat inside and played like kids do today. We were out having all the neighbourhoods kids gathered in some hide and seek or red and white rose games, chasing after each other...

The worst part of being a kid those days was for me that people smoked everywhere...in the car, in the kitchen, in the living room, in the bed room...everywhere...and it was noone thinking about not smoking on the kids..no, the kids were in the car with the smoke etc..talk about passive smokers...

And we didnt have so much money so the weekend evenings were made like a party by watching the hockey games and everyone in the family placing a "bet" about who was gonna win the game...then the winner won a home-baked cake with whipped cream and jam;=) And it was so nice sitting there with everyone together and having a cosy time. Worth so much more than having all those toys or tv-games all together.

Being a mum makes me remember and seeing things through my sons eyes and I must say that I love those opportunities like this weekend when I was a kid for 2 days and just being totally crazy in the rides;=)

Me, Marco and Tuomas was in Disneyland Anaheim a year ago and it was the exact same thing...when we came in there, me and Marco was a bit like: ok, so are we gonna go in the Snowhite-ride that is for little kids??? ;=) And then we just looked at each other and laughed and said: lets be kids for a day! Be childish, enjoy the thrills and moments in that exact moment without thinking of being mature and adult... and we had such a blast and went in all the rides there too;=)

I have my "little Nettan" inside me all the time and she reminds me of being happy for the life I have and have had up till now and enjoy those childish moments and embrace it and I do. I hope you do too;=)
Here she is, "little Nettan"....still going strong!

Our weekend

Hi all,

So, we went to Gothenburg and visited a great tivoli called Liseberg for two days this weekend. We slept over and had a blast...I can confess that since I am 38 my body is aching so bad that I have had a migraine ever since yesterday evening and all day today...going in rides like Balder, Lisebergsbanan, Flume Ride, Jukebox and Kållerado sure takes its turn...but God, I love going in roller-coasters and Balder is for sure the best one so far!!! First downhill in 70 degrees just totally down and you just loose your breath for some minutes...then negative G-forces 10 times during the ride...well, we went in it 8 times so no wonder my back is dying...;=)







I won a BIG box of chocolate too...2 kilos...hehe...and it was the first number I gambled on and I won immediately;=) So now we have chocolate for half a year;=)






Home..

We are back home, but now to bed so will tell you about the trip tomorrow;=)

Sleep well and hugs;=)
