Dino

The other day i was zapping through the channels and what caught my attention was the TV series 7th Heaven. How many years has it been broadcasting now? I just had to look it up and let me put it in a "7th Heaven" way. THANK GOD, did they stop the series this year! Totally unbelievable that a series survive that long, 11 years of same things! Well it belongs to the past now... something that still is running is ER! How many medical series are there now? That subject starts to get a bit worn out. Sure a lot happens in a hospital but common! ER lost me as a viewer the second helicopters started to fall from the sky left right and center, no in fact it lost me the second they got rid of Mark Green. The whole cast is changed almost! Nah i think its time to do the final episode and let it rest with other Dinosaurs.

Long time no see

The other day i was walking from the store when an old woman caught my attention. She was looking at me in a very familiar way. I sort of recognized her, but it was soooo long ago... that i just was not sure. She smiled at me and started to walk towards me so i stopped. I smiled back and mentioned three names that where very well know to both of us. She nodded. I had mentioned her three children's name. This was the mother of my childhood friends. Apperently she was living not far away from me and all her children where living here too. Absolutely awsome! We had a bit of a chat and i gave her my phone number. Later on during the week i met up with all of them. We had a lot of catching up to do! Sitting there we realised that we haven't seen each other for over 10 years! It was fun to see how we all have grown up and how some things have changed and other not.

Hair

I have found my first two grey hairs! Its sort of unreal. I know its silly but suddenly it has all caught up with me! I know i have been in denile... everyone gets older but me lol. Now i have proof and there is no turning back. Funny thing and i stopped dying my hair last year as i have done in most of my life, just to see what my natural hair colour is. Well i got the answer now... its brown turning grey!!! LOL

EverQuest II

I have the best guild ever on EverQuest. Today I got to do a little bit of acting for a video two of our guild members are doing. Awesome, it was really fun...and i got the part! lol

I haven't really had time to play lately, with all that packing and ordinary parent stuff that take up my day. So it was nice that they thought of little me. It will be great to see it when they are finished. I'm sure it will be great just like the last video. /thumbs up for you guys! If there was one i would do a /flirtwiththedirectors! ;+)

Move'em on, head'em out Rawhide

Packing.... again. We have moved around so much i start to wonder if we should not qualify ourselves as Gypsy! It will be good to get out of this place though. There is so much fun in decorating and furniture a new place. Another fresh start with a lot of brain storming!

It never stops to amaze me though - how much junk we have - where does it all come from? It's not deliberate, we don't store too much stuff around still there are so many small things that just accumulate. My rule is, if i haven't used something for 3 years and am not likely to use it the following year - i chuck it. Ok.... some things i just save for an occasional fancy party, but that is not much... I mean how often will i need my cucumber or pine apple suit?? Then again who knows? Maybe i should save the jeans from the 80's and the dungaries, lets not forget the tea pot, the cowboy boots, snow board oh... and the spare roll of wallpaper from the 70's is a must.... well you never know, right?

Sugar....oh honey honey

This week i went for a routine check up to the health care with the little man. In the waiting room there is a display cabinet where there are some normal products that we all eat now and then. The interesting thing is that they have put out sugar cubes next to the product to illustrate how much sugar it actually contains. Very alarming in deed. When a friend came and visited us last year she said that all the food here is so sweet and that she couldn't eat much of it. NO WONDER! Who would have thought that the traditional Swedish sour milk contains 14 cubes of sugar!!! If you add sweet cereal on top of that - talk about sugar rush! Mmmm brekki! It is well known by now and it's all over the news that people get more fat. We move around less. Silly daily things like opening the door... why push it open when you can press a button and the door opens!? Why take the stair to the first floor when there is an elevator and why on earth walk half an hour to work if there is only three bus stops away?? Which brings me to our children. No wonder there is a problem with obesity and kids that are hyperactive, if they only eat sugar all day long. God i don't even want to think of how their teeth look like! Dentists probably would make a fortune on kids if the dental care wasn't free the first 18 years!! Maybe nature have already thought of sugar craving humans during the 19th century and that's why we all get milk teeth before the permanent ones. Evolution is ahead of us! A chance second chance for healthy teeth if we screw up as kids! I wish!! It is also a fact that many families are so stressed that they don't have the time to cook meals from scratch but use products that are already half done. Stick it in the oven and its ready after 15 mins. Sad but true as Metallica sang. The half done products make me think of another issue, if no one cooks in the family... who teaches the children of our future to cook food? Is it a skill meant to vanish? Are we raising a pizza society? Will the home made pasta and cooked meat become but a memory?

Earthquake

So the other day i was just minding my own business. Looking after Sam and just doing ordinary stuff around the house, when suddenly out of no where this huge bang...RUUUMBLEEEE!!!KAAAABOOOOM!!! The ground started to shake...instinctively i ran to the living room spotting Max in the middle of the floor with a petrified expression written all over his face. In a split of a second i thought EARTHQUAKE! HERE? WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE WORLD?? Where is...nearest door? ...closest exit? ....balcony or window? ....should i grab little man and throw myself through the window!? Doh so stupid a window would never break, i think i watch too many films. Then came the shock wave and everything went silent besides a long beeping sound. I stopped... earthquake here? Impossible... there are no such things so high up north, no tectonic plates meeting... still it is plausible. Do earthquake have shock waves??? It must have been a superficial blast...Oooohhhh....DOH! So stupid, they said they are starting to build in the area very soon. It just must have started. I felt suddenly stupid....The rest of the day i turned down the radio and TV so i actually heard the warning signal where i just ran towards Sam making the biggest silly fool a mother can out of myself as a distraction.... KAAAAAABOOM! BAAANG! RUUUUUUMBLEEEEE! Beeeeeeeep! Phew! It lasted for the best part of the week i never got use to it though. Its really strange when the most solid thing we know suddenly starts to move under our feet. A couple days later i passed the building ground... they where building parking places... and had not removed much rock at all. It wasn't a big parking like outside a mall, just a couple of car spots.... So much hassle for so little. :0)

Ice ice baby

I heard that they had snow in the northen part of the country today. Lucky bastards! Oh i long for those cold mornings, the fresh air and dry knuckles and lips. Waking up in the morning and know you have to go and scrape the car before work as its all covered with ice! Then you get to work and you take of your hat and the hair just stands out like an electric fire ball. No one comments on your bad hair day cause all of your co-workers look the same and for the rest of the day you all amuse yourself by getting electric shocks from all things around you! Absolutely b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l!!!!

Autumn

Its rather late at night and I'm just writing a quick little something something. Autumn is here, it is so welcome. I have always loved autumn, best part of a year actually. I like it when it starts to get a bit darker, the trees are changing colour and the morning is a bit chilly...oh nothing beats the first morning frost! There is nothing better then a walk then, an early morning breeze, ice on the puddle and the sun rising really low so it blinds your sight. Of course not everyday is like that, sometimes it rains as well and then its great just to be indoors and hear the rain against the window... I don't even mind being outdoors when its raining - the appreciation for getting indoors is so much higher when your freezing your butt of!! LOL

People

So how can it be that people are so irresponsible! Went out to the car the other day to go shopping and got absolutely furious! Someone had crashed into our car and damage the front bumper and just left! Yes a hit and run technically. I went around the parking and found a car with white paint on its right front bumper so i thought i had caught the b***ard. Then again i could not be sure. Later on that same day i went out to double check again and then i spotted the car standing in front of us... that one had really a damaged front with white paint. Again i could not be sure. I am almost certain that it is one of the neighbours though cause there are a bunch of idiots living here. God it will be sweet to move!

To chill my nerves i went on a walk with little-man. I took a walk till he fell asleep i the pram and decided as it was such a lovely weather that i would go for a long walk. So i started to walk pass the cemetery. I like cemeteries - there is something very peaceful about them and they also remind me of my mum that passed away many years back. I makes me remember how life was different then and how loved she was. I think of how often i saw her smile and goof around. As a kid i loved saying "mum do the ugly laugh" and she would burst into a huge fake laugh, pulling her face in all directions so you could see her not so straight teeth and make us all laugh hysterical. So i was walking along the path with my thoughts where some girls caught my eye. They must have been around their 20+ and working there... i took that conclusion of noticing the wheelbarrow and the rakes. To my frustration they where wearing so tiny shorts that a bit shorter and i could see the whole arse! And on top of that... or should i say there was no top of that... cause as a top they had the smallest, tiniest bra i have ever seen. Oh My God! They sat down on one of the graves and started tanning and smoking! I got furious! What could i say i was speechless of shock. I could not understand how someone supposed to be a janitor working in a place where you should have some dignity was walking around half naked. I circled around them ones and just continued home. Ashamed and embarrassed that i didn't say something...

Yappy

Dogs! Always been a part of my life, love them. But then we have dogs and dog owners. I truly do not understand people that treat their dogs like humans and say it is their little baby! I love/loved all my dogs and is/was involved in every little bit of their life, but for me they where always dogs. I am always astound by owners that treat their dogs like humans and how that does not work. No matter what breed the dog is they always like clear rules and a clear hierarchy where ever they go. As an owner we are responsible to make sure of that. Yet not everyone does. A puppy is always cute and sweet and so innocent, but they grow up fast and assert themselves even faster and that's where the problem begins. The interesting thing is why people expect that if you have a big dog you should keep him short and it should be well behaved but a small dog "oh so cute and so innocent and oh its so scared of big dogs!" Yeah right! There is nothing worse that a dog owner making excuses for his dogs bad behaviour. Its bit only once that I have heard owners say that their little Fluffy is just scared of what ever and just watching the dog going ballistic in the garden marking the territory like its his holy ground and even going so far as trying to put the people around him into place! Unacceptable! I think if you want to get a dog you should spend some time and investigate what you really are looking for. You want an everyday challenge and spend a lot of time working with your animal then maybe a terrier or an Alsatian is the proper dog for you. Or are you looking for the classical family dog a golden might be more suitable... perhaps you just want a dog that lays around and rests with you and doesn't really care if he gets to spend a longer time indoors and just lay on the sofa with you i.e a great dane. Basically do your homework! The more the better and then chose what fits you and your dog best. One thing is for certain a dog with a consequent owner that gives a lot of love and clear rules is a happy sound dog!

Why is not the question

Hmmm... alright so this is how it is on this side! Well this will be most interesting! It's funny, I said to myself that I wouldn't do this i.e write a blog and here i am trapped on the other side. Well you might wonder why and to be honest i really have no idea. Maybe cause I have a bad day, maybe cause I have a good day. Maybe i want to talk about love and life. Perhaps it is cause i want to get heard by the world... speak up and have a story to tell! Maybe I have so many thoughts in my head that i want to get an outlet for them somewhere and don't have anywhere else but in a blog then again maybe not. Maybe i have a sneaky idea to lure you in my nest of thoughtless thoughts! Or... maybe I'm just writing a lot of crap and am shocked by the fact that you actually read this! Myself I have never been a reader - not of any meaningless blogs! lol Really it is immaterial as why i do this as i am here on the other side writing already, starting a journey that i have no idea where it will end or how long it will last. Maybe this will be the only thing i put in here and again maybe not,
