Home!

Good evening all and a very very big thank you to all of you who have sent me congratulations today! Soooo sweet of you and I appreciate it!

We have had a wonderful time in Copenhagen and we came home an hour ago. We are sooo tired after lots of walking and walking and eating and drinking. But I have gotten so many congrats from all of my friends today and that make me feel great!

For this birthday, as well as my 10 last ones, I havent felt I need to celebrate it with a big party, instead I enjoy to just be with my closest ones and like this time, go away. No stress, just relaxing and enjoying the day;=)

I will post some photos from the hotel we stayed at tomorrow, it was just soooo nice and we also walked some new streets where we found great stores with Goth clothes and rock clothes and I´ll show you their addresses e g so you can visit them when you go to Copenhagen.

Sleep well everyone and again - lots of THANK YOU to you all!

Musicals

Good evening;=)

Today I have been singing a lot of the old songs I sang when I went to Balettakademien, musical songs from Phantom, Chess, Evita e g. and it was so fun! Its been a while since I sang musical songs but I still love it. If you didnt know I have always wanted to be in a musical and I still hope I can one day. If I werent touring next year I would for sure have tried to get a role in Kristina från Duvemåla which are gonna be in Helsinki next year;=)

Maybe in the future, who knows?;=)

If you havent heard or seen this amazing musical, written by the great guys from ABBA - Björn Ulveus and Benny Andersson - here´s some of the songs from it. Truly the best musical, I think!
I take the songs in swedish since that is the original language.

Here´s what the story is in english from wikipedia for you to read.

Sweaty

Ok, day 4 of this weeks exercise and today I did intervalls which consists of 2 min rushes and then 1 min of fast walk. Did this for 30 minutes and I am sweaty!

The other 3 days before this I have just taken it easy and been doing 5 k runs as usual but they say its good to do different runs so I normally do one of the days with faster running or intervalls.

Tomorrow I´ll rest and then on it on tuesday;=)


Enjoy the day!

Copenhagen

Now I booked a really nice hotel in Copenhagen for tomorrow, so I´ll celebrate my birthday morning and day in Copenhagen;=) That´s not so bad for a 40th year birthday!

I wish for some nice weather tomorrow and tuesday now!

Grey saturday

Good evening;=)

Today it´s been raining cats and dogs here so we have been inside all day and what better to do than take that big cleaning day;=) So I have been cleaning and fixing and the boys have been playing around all afternoon.

On monday we have been thinking of going to Copenhagen over night but I cant decide if I want to or not. Sometimes it´s so nice to be at home and just do those "regular" things, you know. We´ll see tomorrow what I decide upon.

Pain and Johan are flying over to play at a festival in Vanta, Finland, tomorrow. It´s called MTR festival if someone over in Helsinki or around want to see them play:=)



My sister is in Turkey, sunbathing and relaxing and I must say I am a tiny bit jealous;=) Lying by the pool, having some fruit, a nice book to read, playing some beach volleyball, eating some great food, getting tanned (which I could use, I am the palest person;=)

But I think Thailand over x-mas will be better cause then it´s like -10 degrees here or more and snow and brrrr...dark and grey all the time. Not like now - daylight until 22-23 in the evenings. So I´ll wait for december and enjoy extra much then;=)

How can I know?

We are fixing some things at home and one thing is to find new doors for 3 of our rooms. They are all to worn and broken so we are on the lookout for some better ones. White inner doors they call "mirror doors".

So, I have been searching a site where people sell everything and after some search I find a guy who sells a lot of construction material and stuff after he has built a new house. Among the things are some inner doors, just like the ones we need.

After some nice corresponding over email and after him measuring the doors, they match and we are so happy;=)
So then I ask him:
- How much do you want for them both?
since I dont have any clue what to pay and all the doors in that site are cheap, like 20 euros to 30 euros.
He then answers me:
- Place a good bid!

I ask Johan and after again checking some similar doors in that site and their prices, I see that appr. 20 euros/door would be ok.
I write to him and say:
- What do you think about 20 euros/door?

I get the answer:
- Then I say no thanks! These are not those "cheap" doors you can find, but solid and good ones!!

Well, how the hell can I know? And if they are so good and special ones, it would be better to put a price on them so I know directly. I can pay more but if someone says - place a bid! and I dont know more than what I can see others take for the same thing, I of course place that bid.

I thereafter again wrote to him and said that if he please could say what he want and that I didnt know e g...
But I am quite sure he wont answer and I really cant understand some people selling stuff like this. When I sell things I put a price and if I dont want to sell underneath the price I have written I say that and say no thanks to the ones trying to put the price down. But if I ever would say: place a bid! and someone said a low one, I would for sure let that person know I wanted more and let him or her place a higher bid if they still are interested.

Damn, I really wanted those doors;=) But well, there will be others...hehe!
Sleep well!

Thursdays outfit

p



Well, today I wear an old pair of black ancle length pants from Dsquared, a grey top from Bella Jones, a shirt from SAKS and a lovely Betty Johnson necklace I bought in our second US tour. It has a small mirror inside;=) Cute!
