Bye Bye Money, Hello Food! July 27, 2009

I’ve truly had some very good days lately. Maybe even perfect. Too bad having good days means spending money. Proving to me yet again that either me or my future husband better make a load of cash each month!

First of all the Helsingborgs festival was really good. Not because of the music (although I did get to listen to Salem al Fakir, who I’ve come to the conclusion I quite like) but because of the food! I love food. Not the kind of really high-end stuff that everyone with good taste is supposed to like, but all the different kinds of junk food that can be made in stands and fast food stores. Yum! I’ve heard from somewhere that sushi is actually considerd fast food in Japan, if this is true, it explains why I like it so much! Festivals and markets are none the less perfect for this kind of stuff!

Despite the fact that I told the Bear that he may as well not make any food that weekend as I was going to gorge myself with all the stuff the festival has to offer, I still didn’t come close to eating all the stuff I was hoping to! Ok, so a lovely lunch/dinner at the step family’s place last saturday didn’t exactly ensure an empty stomach at the festival, but I gave it my best effort. Looking forward to the next years round.

Another thing I love about festival is all the life the town gets. There’s music, smells and sounds pouring out of every corner… And the perfect opportunity it gives to meet up with friends. Lovely.

Then sunday as the town settled into it’s post-festival sunday calm, I had a wonderful day taking it easy, watching movies and fixing with my new sowing machine. Despite a throbbing headache and a sore knee.

Now today, I only worked 3 hours which is a perfect amount for a job one’s starting to dislike and then went on an unplanned shopping spree. I just realized writing this that I supposed to use that money to buy an i phone at the end of the month. Damn it. Heh, oh well.

I also found a very good hairdresser finally!  I have a tradition of letting the hairdresser to do more or less what they want with it to ensure that I get something different, but thus far they’ve been too chicken to actually do anything funky with it. This one loved the challenge and made a loose poney tail and chopped it right off. I love people who face a challenge. And she made an awesome job of it. I’m loving it!

Next month the plan is to colour it pitch black and the month after that to put in pure white extensions in there to funk it up.

Oh! And I finally signed myself up for driving lessons (been waiting for the governments OK that I’m allowed to get them thus far).

…all the money trickling away….

Lovely, most perfect kisses to all!

It’s a Good Day (Yay) April 29, 2009

First day this year I’ve gone to work without a jacket so summer is here for sure. Yay!

Tomorrow is the last day of the month and the last day of work for the week. Yay!

I’m madly in love with my boyfriend and I love being me. Yay!

 

Sweet kisses to all.

The Ramblings of a Crazy Person November 2, 2008

A chaotic space shows of a chaotic mind right?

The apartment has looked like a tornado hit it this past week. I haven’t been feeling very well lately so I sat myself down and got myself hooked to a game called “mass effect”. And I’ll be honest; it’s had a massive effect on the state of our apartment! Yesterday, I finally finished off the game I’ve spent 37 hours(!) playing (In one week btw… how’s that for maladaptive behaviour). I’ve spent the day cleaning, washing clothes, doing the dishes, and then going off to school to study for a few hours. And it doesn’t stop there! After having been such a good little girl I went to the store, got myself some dark chocolate (yum), some stuff I needed for breakfast tomorrow and some stuff to make a pleasant dinner tonight, which is what I’m waiting to get done as I write (my dear bear is the one usually responsible for the lovely cooking).

I even had a pleasant little “walk” on my way to school as I was on a mission to find a place to take out money! I ended up at 7-Eleven with a cup of latte in my hands in exchange of the possibility of taking out money, and then walking back to my favourite kebab place to get a kebab role. When one has a boyfriend that doesn’t like kebab (I love him despite this, aren’t I being big hearted ), ones picky about where to get that wonderful piece of pleasure! Ok, granted, that little walk took a total of 15 minutes, but for a girl who likes to bike, this is pretty much a perfect length for a walk. Heh.

I also realized that I love my new hat I bought a couple of days ago. Makes me feel safe from the world! Sounds admittedly strange. But not being able to see everybody around me (being quite short I usually have to look up to look at peoples faces) made it much easier to not worry about what the proper people-behaviour is. Total ostrich behaviour! I can be myself and be in my own world. Haven’t had those heavenly feelings in a very long time. Quirky little hat, I love you!

Anyway, that’s enough rambling for me today. Y’all take care o’ yerselves, ye hear?

Kisses to all.

There’s beauty even in the most barren of places.

…Even flashes of colour if you know where to look!

Lost in Thought October 15, 2008

Of course I missed the last day I was supposed to write my positive thoughts. Although the reason was a good one. I was having a good day.

The bear came home and I finally got my schoolbooks so I was busy making up for lost time… with both books and boyfriend.

So, did it help? Beating the negative thoughts to the punch by forcing the positive ones out first, first thing in the morning? I think it actually did. It balanced me out because my morning mood didn’t get so jumbled. I’m nicer at school for example, although I don’t know if that has anything to do with it.

There’s just one, very sad, problem, by not letting myself be able to write a “but” to anything, be cynical or even a slightly negative thought about anything (since that will just get me started), I’ve realized I don’t have anything to write about. My thoughts are what made me feel like I need or want to write, not what I’ve done with my days. How to say this without sounding negative… I’m just not as active as some people are. I’m a thinker more than a doer. I guess that’s the next point to find balance in: self-activity. 

So, for now, I’m going to continue writing down the positive thoughts, first thing in the morning. Just have to figure out where I want to do it? Shall I do it openly, in my blogg for all to read? …Because that’s the only way I’ll be interested in writing them up, knowing myself (I am, after all, a flasher of my soul). Or should I write them in the privacy of my thought-book that hasn’t seen the light of day since I started blogging? …Because lets face it, even I don’t find that stuff so interesting to read. On the other hand, writing in this blogg should be for myself and not for the non-existent mass of readers I have. Heh. 

As I was saying, I’m a thinker. Before you know it, I’ve made a decision though, which I usually don’t share. Funny how to me the thought process is more interesting than the decision.

Anyway, as I decide that, I have to figure out a way to activate myself. Another list perhaps? I am a lister as well after all.

I am truly my own constant project.

Kisses.

Happy Thoughts (day 4) October 11, 2008

Today’s a good day because:

I have a day off to do whatever I please. I’m getting sick so I’m allowed to feel a little sorry for myself and I got an sms from the Bear telling me he misses me (always nice to know that it’s not just me missing him.

Sweet kisses to all!
