The Bitter Sweet Life…

I think I’ve written before about how complicated I find the process of the friend game to be… so, I love this movie. :) If there’s anyone who feels the same way about making friend this is a must see movie! (especially if you loke comedies) It depicts the feeling quite well I have to say. People like us aren’t necessarily lonely… we’re just the boyfriend/girlfriend type. :)

Sweet kisses to all.

 

Intense May 4, 2009

Despite the fact that this weekend was three days long instead of the usual two, it’s been so busy I don’t feel like I got a chance at beeing with my bear and rest up. Partially because today I’m ending the weekend with a double work shift, partially because despite my very social behaviour, I can’t handle being social for more than a few hours at a time and it usually ends with me greatly enjoying my alone time. Because of this, I’m playing hooky from my apprentice work meaning I’m only working my evening shift at my part time job.

Anyway, so what have I done? Thursday I came home from work and shared a bottle of wine with the Bear, which totally messed me up and I slept long into the day on Friday. Around noon I helped someone move his and his girlfriends’ separate stuff into their new, joined apartment. 

Later in the evening we went off for a coffee and a movie “state of play” with another couple. It’s actually not that bad by the way.

Now, to the interesting part of the weekend. On Saturday, I flew up to a place called Ostersund for a banquet with the company I work part time with. It was 8 other girls, our boss, her husband, and me. Being a girl of usually no make up and baggy pants (and the occasional skirt), I find it especially fun with occasions that give me an excuse to play dress up. :) I looked awesome, as did most of the other girls and boys at the place. 

For the first time I found out a little more about what the company is all about. I ended up enjoying the drive the company showed itself to have considering how it’s grown exponentially in the two years it’s existed and I ended up feeling like I wanted to be a part of that, and see how far I could go within the company. It’s a good feeling. The girls in Helsingborg had nominated me as the newcomer of the year. I knew though that I had no chance to win because we were a small group of 15 in Helsingborg while they were a huge group of 150 in Ostersund who had barely heard of us. None the less, even if my name didn’t come up in Ostersund, I was flattered that they had nominated me down here. Very good feeling. 

The boss’ husbands’ humour finally got to me at one of the night so I let him know I didn’t appreciate it. He said sorry, I took a cigarette and when I came back in, we were OK again. :) All good. If there’s one thing I’m very glad I’ve learnt from my therapy, it’s that it’s much better to just be open about my feelings instead of walking around with a chip on my shoulder or the worry that I’ve done something wrong. Life has become very much simpler because of it. 

I got to know my sister”‘-in-law” a little better as well and had a talk with the boss about the possibilities of working enough to not have to take a loan from the government anymore. By the end of the night my feet were so swollen from my high heeled shoes I was about to cry, I was in a good mood and I fell asleep knowing I was going to have the kind of hangover one usually only has after a new years eve party. 

I was right. My head was hurting, I was partially too warm and partially having non-stop shivers, and I was constantly hungry. (Why do we do this to ourselves?)

While waiting at the Stockholm airport though, I realized that my mom was on her way home to Sweden from Finland that same day and looked up when she was to land. She was to land 17.55… the same exact time that my plane lifted. A pity, because I would have loved to see her face expression if she saw me as she off boarded the airplane. :D

Coming home, my wonderful Bear was making dinner with plans of having muffins for dessert.

Being a girl who needs her alone time, it’s quite obvious why I’m badly in need to just hang at home before getting to my daily routines. I needed a break, and by Sunday I was really quite tired of my colleagues (not because they’re bad people, but because I need my alone time) and was ready to come home. The need for some alone time is part of the reason I’m skipping work today.

Sweet tired kisses to all

Movie tip: Yes Man

Why? Because it made me laugh out loud, and that’s not an easy feat. ;) It also leaves you feeling good, like there are possibilities behind every door. This I already knew but it’s easy to forget! 

Oh, and I’ve never realized what a good actor Jim Carrey is. Always thought of him as a comedian and nothing else, but he’s actually pretty good. ;)

Anyway, I’m going to bed with a smile on my face tonight!

Sweet Kisses to all!

What a wonderful day I had yesterday. First I realized that I could button up my working pants all the way for the first time in months! Yay! …and this after just 1 1/2 weeks of training. Awesome! Ofcourse this makes it all the more enjoyable to go training. ;)

After a super short day at work I hang around with the Bear and have such good laughs, tears start rolling down my eyes. (The Bear thinks I cry for everything and he’s probably right! Heh) After much fun at Dunkers we bike up to André, watch a movie (“devils backbone”, same director as “pan’s labyrinth”, which I love) and eat some good food. On top of all this goodness I only had two cigarettes that day. I came home in the best mood I’d been in for ages. :)

Today, I’ve just come home from training and after some hopefully good food (waiting for the Bear to be done with his training) we’re going to take a look at a few new kittens that Björn has tried to fix up, and later I’m gonna watch another movie with another friend.

Life is good. :)

Sweet kisses to all!

So, I had a great day yesterday!

I ended up only getting 4.5h of sleep after writing my last blog, had quite a lot to do before dinner and so forth and I started the day with seven semi-tired stressed out girls trying to find some kind of compromise and doing that without some kind of annoyance is close to impossible! ;)

To be honest though, not even that could really get my mood down yesterday.

Oh, I’m going to do my good deed of the day and warn everyone who actually likes the spiderman movies NOT to watch the third one.

The little child in me loves almost all action hero movies. Not because they’re great, but because I’m a little kid, hehe. So I never exepected that much from it but I alteast exepcted it to have the same level as the first two! But in the duration of the movie I just sunk further and further into my seat out of embarrassment and frusteration for the movie… until the last 15-20 minutes that is, which was the best part of the whole movie. ;)

But, today is not a movie-day. I’m off to enjoy this sunny day that we got today!

Super sweet kisses to all!!
