Valborg

Finally I got the chance to try out my new runners, I'm just back from a run - in the rain! Yes it was raining today as well but this time I was determined to head out no matter what.



Time is flying and I have to have a shower and get ready for a night out in town. I'm heading out with lovely Jessica and Lena tonight. We're gonna start off at TGI Fridays with a dinner and then we'll see where the night takes us ;)

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Rain

WTF!! Just as I was about to put on my running gear I look out the window and see that it's raining outside... That is so typical, I really wanted to go out running tonight. I know I can still go out but I really don't fancy running in the rain :(

Runners

Today at lunch time myself and a couple of colleagues went to "Löplabbet" to have a look at runners. We brought our vouchers with us that we got from work last year. After some consideration I bought a new pair of Nike runners that I'm very happy with :) Will probably have to go out for a run now to try them out! Just need to get up from the couch..

Hairdresser

Today I had booked an appointment with my hairdresser at 18:30 so I went to Hammarby sjöstad where she is located straight after work. The girl who is doing my hair is a friend of mine; she knows my hair and what I like and I can always trust her. Since I have so much hair, I tend to be there for at least 3 hours when I'm getting a haircut and highlights done. Thank God we have lots to talk about ;)

Today we went for a softer, warmer look and I'm very pleased with it. I'm still blonde and that's the way I like it. You probably won't see the difference but I certainly do :)

Bracelets

A little parcel was waiting for me when I came home today. Couldn't resist ordering these golden bracelets, think they're cute :)

Sushi Tuesday

I'm so happy because I have finally found a really good sushi place nearby, at Brommaplan to be exact. I love the californian rolls but there aren't that many places that do them. Anyway, I craved sushi on my way back from work so decided to stop by and grab one :)

The sun has been shining here in Stockholm today and we went out for a walk at lunch time. It must have been almost 20 degrees then, I could feel the heat from the sun. This evening though is much colder again :( Bring on the spring!!

Went to the gym yesterday and did some weights. I haven't done that for a while and my body is a bit sore today. Tomorrow I reckon it's time to do some running again. I better start running more than once a week now since I am going to do two runs; "Vårruset" in June which is only 5kms but also "Midnattsloppet" in August which is 10 kms. Spoke to my brother today and he is also gonna do the run in August. Better keep up with the training so that I can beat him ;)

Macadamia

I've just ordered Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque and also their Rejuvenating Schampoo. I've heard it's supposed to be very good so I decided to try it out. Will let you know what I think of it!

Chilling out on the couch

Just back from my singing session and chilling out on the couch. Watching Maria Montazami on telly, she's brilliant :)

The last bounce

Wow, this day passed by so quickly. I can't believe the weekend is over already...oh well. This afternoon we were in the Globe watching "The last bounce". It was an absolutely brilliant show, they're all amazing dancers. Everything they do look so easy, but I know for sure how difficult it is. Well ehm, at least for me :) Took a streetdance course last semester and realised I'd have to work really hard to be able to keep up with everybody else!

Below you can see some pics from the show today:







Right now I'm doing the laundry and there is this woman who tends to always book the time slot before me. Every time I go down there she's never finished on time and I have to wait for her to unload the washing machines etc. I just went downstairs to take care of my first load and not even then she was finished with the tumble dryer..arghh!

Won 20kr on the Lotto last night, woohoo :) I wish you could just add a few 0's..he he.

Dyngkåt och hur helig som helst

I really enjoyed Mia Skäringers show today, I laughed constantly for about 2 hours. She's sharing her life stories in a brutally honest way, they're quite sad stories really but she is so funny.

Thomas Sabo ring

Like both of my rings from Thomas Sabo but I tend to like this one just a little bit more ;)

Saturday

Woke up at 8 o'clock this morning but decided to stay in bed, didn't get up until 2 hours later. Now I'm sitting in the sofa with a cup of coffee, a glass of juice and a sandwich. I really enjoy breakfast at the weekends, when I have the time to enjoy it!

The sun is shining and I think I'm gonna go out for a walk, time to dig out my sun glasses :)

Shopping

Here comes some pics of today's shopping:


Skirt - Gina Tricot


Top - VILA


Shorts - Rut m.fl.

Weekend

Finally it's Friday. I've been looking forward to this weekend, wanna chill out and sleep! ;) But I'm not just going to sleep, I have some nice things planned as well. Tomorrow myself and mum are going to go and see Mia Skäringers show "Dyngkåt och hur helig som helst" at Södra Teatern and on Sunday myself, Jessica and Maria are going to see The last bounce!

Went to Solna Centrum after work to get some red wine...but managed to do some shopping as well since we got paid today. Bought a top, a black skirt and a lovely pair of shorts, will show you later on :)

Now it's time for dinner and wine!

Good day

Today has been a good day. I went to bed quite early last night so when I woke up today I felt less tired than any other day this week, that was a good start..

I got a good bit of stuff done in work and enjoyed a lovely lunch at Pampas Marina :)

Right now I'm lying on the couch feeling proud of myself since I went to the gym for the first time since a good few weeks back. Ran 5 kms on the threadmill and did some sit ups and back exercises. So now I deserve a relaxing evening with a big bag of sweets beside me :)

Shoes

Bought these shoes a couple of weeks ago...had been checking them out a few times but now they're mine :)

Brothers & Sisters

It feels like I never have the time to watch telly anymore...I used to always follow all tv-series but I feel totally lost these days. Therefore I figured it is better to buy the box so that you can watch the episodes when it suits you :) Right now I'm watching Brothers & Sisters Season 1 (might as well start from scratch). I reckon tonight is going to be an early night but I hope to be able to watch a couple of episodes before I hit the pillow anyway.

Hope you all have had a good day. I'm glad I decided not to go to Denmark now, otherwise I would have had to get up at 4 o'clock in the morning!

Melissa Horn 19th of July

I love Melissa Horn, I've been listening to her two albums "Långa nätter" and "Säg ingenting till mig" on Spotify and I'm hooked. Have just bought tickets for her gig at Mosebacke on Monday 19th of July. Can't wait to go :)

Raclette

Just back from dinner at Maria's, tonight we've had Raclette - very nice! I love doing something like that on a weekday and as always we had a lot to talk about :)

Spoke with mam earlier and they are finally back in Täby!! They left Croatia on Saturday afternoon and took a bus to Köln that took 21 hrs. Then they hired a car and drove to Bremen and stayed over there for the night. The next day they went on to Rostock, from there they took the ferry over to Trelleborg and then from Trelleborg they drove up to Täby today with yet another hired car. I'm glad they made it and they seem to have had a laugh along the way, that always helps :)

As regards to my trip to Copenhagen, I have now decided not to go...it is too much hassle. Even if I get to Copenhagen safe and sound, I don't know if I'll get back. So Stockholm it is this week!

Baby Murphy

Recently found out that baby Murphy is on the way. I'm delighted for Ciaran and Kathrina and it is so exciting!

Ed Hardy bag

I think this handbag is so cute, would be lovely for the summer :)

Travel to Denmark?

This week I'm meant to go to Copenhagen for a stress management course but I wonder if I'll be able to go. I haven't booked any flights yet and I don't know if I will due to the situation that we have with the volcanic ash. Even if Arlanda opens, perhaps Kastrup won't. All train tickets seem to be sold out and the third option is to go by bus. I don't fancy that option at all since the bus ride is about 9 hours and that means I will have to travel all day Wednesday, attend my course on Thursday and travel all day back on Friday..

I'm just back from a singing session, love Mondays for that reason :) Only 3 weeks to go now and then I'm gonna stand there in Berwaldhallen on the 9th of May. Looking forward to it now but I better do some rehearsing so I know all the songs by then!

Yours sincerely by Anna Bergendahl

Have been listening to Anna Bergendahl's debut album this weekend and it is not that bad at all. Some songs are better than others but she has a really nice voice and it is an album that falls into the category "easy listening".

Vrigstad here I come

This afternoon I spoke with my dear friend Emmeli on the phone. She lives in Vrigstad with her lovely daughter Antonia and I first met her when I moved home to Sweden in 2005 and still worked for Adobe, she was the receptionist in the office located in Kista back then. We haven't had a proper chat for a long time, but today we finally got the chance. Spoke with her for over 2 hours!!

We agreed that I will come and visit her in 5 weeks, luckily we were both free that weekend. Can't wait to spend some proper girlie time with her! :)

Pics from last night

Had a great night last night at Lemon Bar with my favourite girls :) We all enjoyed Ceasar sallads and wine upstairs before we went down to the dance floor that was waiting for us!

Going out with the girls

I really needed some sleep!! Went to bed around midnight and slept right through until 10:40 this morning.. I normally wake up around 8 or 9 at the weekends but obviously I had some catching up to do. Got up and had something to eat, then myself and Lina headed out for a run. It would have been nicer if the sun was out but I really enjoyed it anyway. We were chatting away and ran to Kristineberg and back :)

Tonight myself, Lena and Maria are going out for dinner and hopefully we get to do some dancing as well :) It has been a while since I was out so I'm really looking forward to it!

Stranded in Croatia

Just spoke with my dad on the phone. My parents have been in Croatia since Wednesday and their flight back to Stockholm tomorrow has now been cancelled due to the volcanic ash from Iceland so they don't know how to get home. My dad didn't seem too worried though since they're having a really good time over there and he wouldn't mind staying for a bit longer :)

I was in Croatia for the first time last summer, Maria and I went there for a week in July. I really liked the place and it is so beautiful. If I was to go back again, I would probably choose to go sailing for the week to be able to see as many places/islands as possible.

This summer we're thinking of heading to Italy. Hopefully we can book it soon enough, I love having things to look forward to :)

leggins

I really like these leggins from bubbleroom.se. They would go with a nice black skirt or a black pair of shorts. I might get them later on but I think I have filled my quota of shopping for this month already!

After Work

Tomorrow night it is time for AW again. Stumbled upon this photo which was taken at an AW a while back. Love this pic with my lovely colleagues :)
