Today I crave.....

No additional need for comment is there? :)

How many blondes does it take to switch a lightbulb?

Happy new week my friends and stray blog readers.

I'm not going to start telling blonde jokes, they're not for me. But I've gone from not so blonde (but with random blonde highlights) to even less blonde today, I've had a touch up on my hair from my hairdresser, who happens to be one of my best friends. It's good to have a personal hairdresser in time of need hehe.

And I don know how to change a lightbulb. The problem sometimes is to figure out how to detach the light covers. Like yesterday, I found the bathroom to be darker than usual. Turned out to be a dead lightbulb. Still have the main light over the sink though, so it's not completely dark. I've never claimed to be tall and lean, so I had to find my extra stairs, climb up towards the roof, and detach the cover. It was by no means easy. Was trying to not break anything, so after about 10 minutes I'd figured out a little switch on the side that made it possible to get to the dead bulb. Today I had one task at the grocerys; to get a new bulb. Guess who forgot??! yeap, me. So the bathroom is still semi-dark. But I'll live, there's always tomorrow :)

Yesterday my niece Stella was 3 years old, coincidentally the same day that Twitter was 3. I like Stella better than twitter, but other than that, happy birthday to both! We went to celebrate her, and had a lovely time. We were blessed with a beautiful sunny day, so the kids were playing in the snow, we were sat by a campfire and grilling hotdogs, and everything was kind of easter-ish. Which is nice, cause easter is just 2 weeks away. Other than that we had loads of cake, a play was brought to life by the kids (Karius and Baktus), currently Stellas favorite story.



The kids all had handknit wigs in red or black, red noses and painted-on freckles. Even Leona, 1 month old today, had a little red wig, she looked adorable.
The grown ups had white hats and were the teeth. My bro narrated, and it was great fun.

All in all, it was a lovely birthday party, Stella was super happy, especially because of all her gifts. A bike, cd player, trolls, dolls, puzzles, clothes, and loads of toys. I'm sure her 3rd year will be a wonderful one for her!!!

Friday the 13th.....

I'm not that superstitious really. One month ago we had another friday the 13, that day came and went without anything happening at all. No such luck this time.

Last night I had my final of 2 night shifts, and had brought some shrimp sallad that I purchased earlier that day. Finished it, and after that I randomly checked the lid. Expiry date: january 23 2009..... Oooops. Didn't feel anything after, so didn't think more of it.

Then I went home this morning, had a morning snack, went to bed. Woke up a few hours later.... Something was cooking. Literally. The taste of sulphate while burping gave me an idea what to expect, and I weren't wrong. It sucks big time, because I had planned on going away for the weekend. Had a movie planned, and a concert tomorrow maybe. Don't know what will happen now, I'll just try to not get dehydrated while fighting off the germs or whatever it is that's rummaging my body at the moment.

So friday the 13 sucks, if anybody wondered!!!!!!!!!!!!

happy weekend.. sort of.

Yet another week of our lives passed by

Sounds a bit depressing, but it's not really. Just lacking titles at the moment.

Cause there's not much going on here these days.

Last week I worked 3 days, and I'm slowly recovering from the cold/flu/whatever episode that's been going on for the last 1,5 weeks. Strange how it is, when we're sick we want to go back to work, but when at work, we sort of wish we were more sick. Not because I don't like my job, I really do, but I'm just tired a lot these days.

The days at home I watched too much tv, to the extent that it bored me. Even dodgy bug-eating shows on discovey amused me a bit.. And old Americas Next Top Model- shows. Guess that's what I'd do if I didn't work at all... just watch tv all day long.

To be honest, over the last months I've increasingly grown more and more tired of even turning on the pc, think I've gone into a internet reluctancy phase of my life. I start to write something, then it just turns on me, and I get sick of it all, and try to do something else instead. Maybe I should take an internet break for a while, and see if it comes back to me, and instead start working out, knitting more, read books or whatever. But I don't really know what to do instead, everything is sort of boring to me these days.

We'll see what tomorrow brings.
Oh, and best of luck to Julia and Rex for tomorrows operation, fingers crossed that he'll be ok :)

Take care
