Bit about me..

So sorry about the long break! My Christmas and New Years weren't spent as planned and to make them more crappy, I had stomach flu.

Starting to feel hungry already!

Getting rid off the negativity

I'm back sooner than I thought.. That is so me. I say I have no time and then I have. Also works to the opposite direction.
Anyways, I had to have some blog-therapy. I had so crappy night last night (2 dogs have stomach problems) and crappy day too, so I thought it would make me feel better if I write some positive things in here.
Things I want to do in 2009:

• Summer vacation in Sweden with Gekko
• Loose few kilos by eating more healthier - my raw food week is still undone, so may that be in my plan too!
• Get drivers licence
• Start to go to bed early and also get up in the mornings earlier than normally
• Listen to music more often
• Concider hard if I want to continue with my My Little Pony collection anymore
• Sell all my useless stuff
• Start to look for old, unmatching and flowery plates from fleamarkets
• Paint and decorate my bike
• Get new tattoos
• Drink more tea
• Buy one orchid and try to keep it alive
• Keep home tidy and nice and remember what my pillow says

Now I feel better, thanks for reading!

X-mas stress

X-mas holidays are getting closer and I just realized I haven't done anything yet! Well, not complitely true, I have my small Christmas tree on the livingroom table and 5 sets of Christmas lights on, but all the presents, food and stuff like that is something I have not even started with!

And I don't even have much time as I can't just go to shopping when ever I want as we now have three bullies here that need much attention and care. Phew.

For my luck, I only need presents for BF, mom, dad and brother. And dogs also, but they are easy to please and I have a homebase advantage with having my own shop. For mom/dad/brother I have things planned out but now I need the time to run around in shops.
Why this always ends up like this? I remember in November saying to BF that we should take care of all the prezzies then so there's no stress in Christmas.. For some reason it only stayed as a plan..
And the fun part is that BF is leaving to Oslo on Monday for some holiday shopping, so that means I have absolutely no chance of going then. Grr..

I also got my new camera and have lots of things I'd love to show you, but I have no time. I hope to make it after Christmas Eve. Then I have almost a week off from work and should have time to do all the fun stuff.
So if you don't hear from me before X-mas, it's just that I have too much to do and no time to update my blog.

BUT if you have ANY ideas what I could give to BF as a X-mas present, please share! He has already everything and I feel clueless.

New family member

Great weekend is over and our family has extended again. Our new "adoption child", little red miniature bullterrier girl called Proper is here.

They make a great duo with Gekko and play all days like crazy. Iines is still only seeing Proper behind the gate, because she is bit stressed after busy weekend and I want her to relax first.

Dear Santa...

Oh no.. So far I haven't been so into high fashion brands so my wallet has been safe. But today I accidentally ran to the new Louis Vuitton / Stephen Sprouse collection. It was love at first sight and now I can only dream of having that bag in pink or orange. And those sneakers, OMG!!!
"Dear Santa..." Hah, I wish!!!

Finally...

...got my fakies. Not in black though. They had black ones too, but they didn't look as nice as these strange colored brown ones. Love is in the air.........
And I must say to all UGG haters, these are great shoes! I can wear them with jeans, leggings, pyjama pants, army pants.. They are so cute, and soft and if I feel like dressing up, then they are so totally unappropriate that there is no dilemma of choosing a more feminine/fancier pair.
