Fikapaus

Har spenderat både tid och pengar i Kista Galleria idag! :-)

Och jag har gjort det så bra att jag förtjänar en liten paus. Det blev en soyalatte, utan smaksatt sirap den har gången, annars är min favorit Hasselnöt... Mmm... Mums! :-)

*dricker latte och myser... slurp*

Jaha, då var latten slut, dags att lulla vidare mot nya shoppingäventyr. Tack för att du tog dig tid och fikade med mig! :-)

People say it's in the air!

Wow, could that be spring I feel in the air today? :-)

The sun is shining from a clear blue sky, birds are singing in the trees around our house and the cats are going bananas... :-)

Could it be that the cold hard clutches of winter finally are about to loose their grip on the land and on me? I think so, because you must be made of steel if you don't feel the temperature rising and the fresh breath of air sweeping in over you on a day like this! :-)

It's official, the first day of spring 2009 in my book is today, saturday the 4th of April. :-)

Vad blir det för väder?

Låt mig presentera en helt ny vädertjänst!
Weather Channel levererar en snygg och detaljerad live-rapport för vald stad, i detta fall Stockholm. Som sista gadget i den vita delen av sidpanelen ligger vädertjänsten klar att rapportera dagens väder i realtid. ---------->>>>>

Och vill du ha en längre prognos så innehåller tjänsten även en 10-dagars rapport (glöm inte att tillåta pop-up från den här sidan, om du har funktionen avstängd!)!

Tusen tack för att du besöker min blogg!
Sedan starten av denna blogg har den nu haft över 14 000 träffar, det är mycket mer än jag vågat drömma om eller ens kunna förvänta mig. Detta var från början bara ett enkelt sätt att hålla kontakt med familj och vänner, för att hålla dem uppdaterade om vad som händer i mitt liv. Speciellt eftersom vi då bodde utomlands och inte hade möjlighet att besöka familj och vänner så ofta som vi önskade. Och nu är detta en av mina favorit sysslor, jag försöker att uppdatera bloggen så ofta jag kan och från diverse olika tillgängliga källor (till exempel min laptop, min mobil eller från ett internetcafé) :-)

För att göra det enklare för Dig att följa min blogg!
Har jag nu lagt till en helt ny funktion till höger som heter "Mina blogg vänner" - Bara klicka på "Följ" knappen och din avatar dyker upp på listan av vänner. Det bästa med denna nya funktion är att du blir den första som får reda på nya uppdateringar! :-)

Ännu en gång skulle jag vilja tacka var och en av er som besöker mitt lilla hörn av internet! :-)

Behind the scenes!

Yes, this is what it looks like on the other side of the blog!

Exciting, isn't it?
It's here I prefer to spend my weeknights. On my favorite spot in the sofa, with my laptop in my knee, pets all around me high and low and a cup of freshly brewed tea within reach.

This is my simple everyday pleasure! :-)

Today is all about fun!


Had my alarm set on 9:00 am this morning and when the alarm went off I decided that I could treat myself with a snooze (I am known for being a non-snoozer!)... so I blacked out for about 40 minutes and then woke up with an Eeep!

I had planned to get ready in time to take the bus down to our little town center at 10:20 am, but when I looked outside and saw the sun shine from a clear blue sky I decided to take a walk instead. That decision bought me an extra 10 minutes - Yay! :-)

When I was done with my morning routine I plugged in my earphones and cranked up the volume on my mp3 player, put on my jacket and stepped out on the front porch... The chilling wind came around the corner of the house and slapped me right in the face! I knew that I didn't have time for any creative Plan-B thinking, since I had already used up my extra 10 minutes and therfore had missed the bus. So I started to walk and figured that if I just make it into the sunlight I will feel much more comfortable and by walking for about half an hour, (that's the time it takes to walk to our little town center from our house), I will get my temperature to rise a notch or two. :-)

Yeah, it was a nice walk, as I passed by the two schools on the way I saw kids playing ball, sitting on benches talking or just running around and playing games during recess. They looked soo carefree... and that's when it struck me!

I am getting old!
Here I was, walking past a school yard and I was getting all nostalgic by watching the kids play games in the sun... For eeep's sake, that's like the very defenition of getting old. And then the second thought popped up in my head, as a final confirmation... you know, like if there was still any doubt left in my mind - I wonder how they see me, oh well probably like an old fart... *gasp* If they even see me at all!

Oooh, please drag me out in the woods and end my misery!
When did this transition happen? Why wasn't I notified? Is there any way to back out of this state of mind and put it on hold for about another 15 - 20 years? Honestly I don't know... and that must be my answer to all three questions above. But I guess that it will only be a problem to me if I choose to make it a problem. And as for the kids, well I believe that we've already established that they most likely don't give a hoot either way...

As the topic says - Today is all about fun!
The reason that I walked down to our little town center today was that I had an appointment with my dentist. She quickly found out that there was some job to be done with my teeth and I reluctantly agreed to start the treatment right away. She's a really good dentist and I always feel comfortable when she does her job. Today she was very quick and efficient, and to spare me from any extra time in the dentist chair today, she rescheduled for a new appointment already for tomorrow! I didn't see that one coming!

After the dentist appointment I got ready to walk home again. This time I decided not to look at the kids on my way home and if there were anyone outside I would not make any eye contact, just to spare me the same emotional dip as I had on the way down. (Eeep, how sad am I... really?)

Finally at home I checked the mail box and it was full... yeah, with bills. That reminded me to check my internet bank account and while I was logged in I could just as well pay the bills right away. Ok, so here I am now, in the sofa, with the laptop in my knee, a bottle of water on the table, a bunch of paied bills beside it and updating my calender with a new dentist appointment for tomorrow! Yeah, today sure is all about fun! :-)

An awesome video collage of Michaels Jacksons greatest Short Films (music videos) and live performances, to the soundtrack of the #1 hit "Who Is It" from the record selling album "Dangerous".

Yeah, Michael Jackson - The King of Pop is back!
