Michael Clayton

Ok, I didn't really succeed with my list today since I only managed to do one thing on it and I didn't really do that very well. It's been raining non stop all day so that's kind of an excuse for not doing anything, right?

Now it's time for popcorn and a movie. The movie is called Michael Clayton and has George Clooney in it, so even if it's not that good at least there's something nice to look at.

Just another day

It feels like I'm the only one awake in the whole city. It's so quiet.
Today I have a few things to do; I need to go to the gym, need to make an appointment for a haircut, need to clean since I didn't do that on Friday and I need to book tickets to Stockolm in April. I doubt that I'll do all of these things so we'll see which one I "forget". Can't believe that it's already March tomorrow, feels like it was just Christmas not that long ago.

Buns

I've spent all afternoon making buns; cinnamon buns and apple/cinnamon buns. They actually turned out pretty good.

1. Normal cinnamon buns 2. Apple/cinnamon buns

Lazy Saturday

Good morning,
I'm not feeling that good today and it's all my own fault. Went to after work last night and I was telling myself that I shouldn't drink too much. Of course I drank way too much and since I don't drink that much anymore I can't handle as much as I used to so today I have a bit of a headache.
Now we're going to the asian supermarket to buy some more rice and maybe find some other good things. See you later.

This country is weird

I'm about to have some lunch. I was looking in the freezer to see if we had anything good since there were no left-overs from last night. There I found some hot dogs that I bought at IKEA a while ago so I decided to have that. Of course I needed some buns with the hot dogs so I went to the store just across the street and I got so happy because I thought I had found hot dog buns without a minced sausage inside (they like that a lot here, it's a so call 'sausage roll'). I did even have a look at the ingredients and it looked like it was only ingredients for bread in it BUT when I've preheated the oven and took the buns out of the pack to put them in the oven, I could feel that they were not that soft in the middle. I opened one of them and of course there was something that was supposed to be a sausage inside...so I had to throw them out and now I have to eat my hot dogs without any buns. Damn....

Dreams

I really want some hot weather now. I've gotten to a point where I've started listening to Beach Boys and those songs have real summer feeling. I should just stop thinking about it really because it's not gonna happen anytime soon.

Wish I was here

Spring is just around the corner...

...or at least I really hope so. Today when I walked home from the metro the thermometer showed +9 degrees. I can really feel the spring closing in on us and I hope it gets even warmer soon because I'm so fed up with wearing winter jacket and boots.

Excercise

Today I went to the gym straight after work. It was the first time in over a month so I didn't think I was gonna be able to do very much. I actually manage to do more than I expected, much more, so I am very happy with myself. I think I'm gonna try to take the gym clothes to work more often and go straight after work because it's probably the only time I will go. I have big problems with getting myself to the gym but once I'm there it feels so good and afterwards it feels even better. So that and saving money will be my goal from now on. We'll see how it goes.

Now it's time for some mint tea.

Payday

Ahh, payday today. It's always such a relief when that money comes in to your account. Even though I'm not completely broke at the end of every month it's still a nice feeling to have even more money than before. I know I say pretty much every payday but this time I'm actually going to try really, really hard not to spend too much money. From now on I'm going to try to save money every month. I really hope I'll succeed this time.

I got to take some semlor home from Anna's place yesterday so today we had semlor for dessert. They were not that big but they were really nice.

Now I'm gonna try to sew together a hole in one of Bowens sweaters. I'm not very good at sewing, especially when I don't have good tools, so we'll see how it goes.

Hope you're having a nice Monday evening!

Semlor and good company

Today has been a fairly slow day. Started with me deciding that I was going to the gym. That decision ended in the gutter since I didn't go.
I did spend some wonderful hours with my Swedish girls. We made semlor and ate scones and just talked about life. That's really something you should do every Sunday afternoon. Maybe not eating semlor but at least see friends and talk a lot. So, other than that I haven't done anything today and I therefore don't have that much to write about. I give you a nice song, perfect for a Sunday evening...soo good.

Swabbing matters

Today we finally went and got me a mop. I've been wanting it for a while since the one we had before was shit. So now I've just swabbed the floor in the kitchen and it now looks spotlessly clean.

Gosh, my life is exciting

New necklace

I got this necklace in the mail two days ago. I ordered it a month ago so they're not the quickest ones, but at least I got it and I really like it.

I got it from:

Productive day and dinner

It's been a fairly good day today. I got lots of things done. Did some cleaning, washing, grocery shopping and some other necessary things.

Cleaning Friday

Hi everyone,

I've just been cleaning the apartment. I think I'm gonna make it my Friday routine because it is so much easier if you do it every week than to do it once a month or however often I do it. By doing this, you don't have to get super exhausted and it doesn't take a whole day. So we'll see how it goes. Now, time for some Wii and then I'm gonna have a shower.

Tired

I've been so tired this week. Therefore I haven't updated that much but here is a song that makes me very happy at the moment. It might be a bit old but I don't listen to the radio that much so I miss a lot of the new music.

I'll write more tomorrow.
