It's been a few days since my last blog. I took some time off as I decided that I didn't have that much to tell really. But now it's been a few days and I've first of all gotten the date for my final exam. I'll be doing that on the 16th of January. Still a little month away, but if I know time it'll fly away - the feathered bugger. I just need to prepare for the exam sometime after New Years and then all should be well.
I also found out that My Chemical Romance will be playing in Malmoe and I so want to go. Johan and me couldn't afford the tickets ourselves, so Katrine came to our rescue and bought us the tickets as an early birthday present. That was pretty darn awesome of her I think. So thanks to her we get to go mingle with all the Swedish emo-kids - if their parents will let them out for the night. Can't wait for that.
Johan did his final exam of the year the other day so we have Christmas holidays together now which is really nice. We sleep late and go to bed whenever we feel like it. Nothing planned from one day to the other and just taking it easy. Good stuff.
Well, hope everyone's well.

Every year there is one thing that needs to be done in due time: Christmas cards need to be written, stamped and sent off before it's too late. So today I decided was the day where I'd first of all get my last presents for friends abroad bought and then I'd write my Christmas cards so they are ready to be sent off tomorrow. Mission halfways accomplished. Still need to do the Swedish versions so basically I need Johan to write them and I will sign them - in Swedish naturally. *cough cough* But apart from that I have finished that part of the Christmas preparations. Now I just need the last of Johan's presents, my sister's presents and Marianne's present. Then it's all settled and ready to go. I can't seem to remember from year to year if I'm always this late with getting the last bits and bobs done. It'll be the 22nd before I finish I reckon. That's pretty late! But hey, I have all the time in the world.
Hmm, not much to say today either. Isn't it lovely?
Rock on rockers!

The eyecandy to your right is simply because I have nothing interesting or productive to say today. I've basically done nothing but read, feel sick and watch TV. So yeah, let's all look at P!nk in stead and hope that one day, when hell freezes over and pigs fly that I could even be slightly as cool and rock and roll as her. If I had been a little girl writing my wishlist for Christmas I would have written "To look like P!nk" as my first wish. But since I already know that Santa doesn't excist I won't even go there. In stead I will keep eating my carrots.
Marianne and Morten I'm thinking of you. You know where you can find me if you need me.
Take care everyone.

After just about 6 months in Sweden with no physical problems at all, I last night had my first encounter with a Swedish doctor. In the end I had to give in to my stomachpains and Johan took me to the emergency room last night just after midnight. It was quite scary to me as I'm not able to speak Swedish and was scared that I wouldn't understand them or they wouldn't understand me, and that that would somehow affect the examination of my stomach. But we were met by a really nice Swedish doctor who decided to give his rusty circus Danish a try and mixing it with a bit of Swedish, which made me 100% able to understand everything he said. His evaluation was that I have a colon infection and that I need to wait it out a bit and see if I get better and if I don't, they need to determine exactly which bacteria we're dealing with and then they have to start treatment with either antibiotics or whichever drug is needed. So am feeling a little poorly today to be honest. Haven't really left my bed for anything but a shower and don't think I will. Bed = goodness.

And thankfully I have Johan here to support me and hug me when it hurts too much. He truly is my rock and I love him more than anything in the world.

Life sometimes pulls such surprises on us it's hard to understand why we are not in any control of it ourselves. I'm thinking of you, Marianne and Morten. <3>Have a peacefull sunday everyone and as always - rock it!

Long live lazy saturdays and 6 episodes of Top Model UK in a row. Okay missed a couple of them as we tried to get out and buy some Christmas presents but since my stomach is still giving me some grief we had to give up on that and dedicate the rest of the day to couchpotatoing and for Johan there was some studying to see to before next week's exams.
With an uneventful day as today I don't have much else to write about, so I'll leave you all a little sooner today with much love and best wishes for a good weekend.

With Christmas just around the corner I decided that today I was going to bake some good old Christmas cookies. So thanks to Marianne I was provided with a good recipe and spent a while this afternoon baking. As you can see my cookie mould is a very rugged looking, crooked legged, hairy man - so basically I made a lot of little Robin Williamses. Not having tasted Robin Williams I'd still like to claim that my cookies are far tastier though. I think Johan might back me up.. not that he tasted Robin Williams either. Oh my.. I'm sidetracking.
Apart from the cookie baking today was very quiet and relaxed. We did a bit of laundry this afternoon and I had a chat with my mum on the phone. Can't wait to come over and see them all for Christmas. I'll book my trainticket one of these next days and that means that this time I will travel over to Århus in style. Normally it's train/bus/ferry/bus basically, but this time it's directly off to Kastrup airport with one train and then change to a direct train to Århus. This will be the first time I try that so there's something to look forward to in the spirit of finding everything interesting even down to it's smallest points. Whichever way I get there I'm just excited to get to go over and see my family and then have Johan come over too. Will be great to have some days in Århus together and maybe relive some old memories, like going out for dinner at Italia or maybe we'll go see a film at CineMaxx or something. It still at times feels like it was hundreds of years since he used to come and visit me there, when in real life it was just earlier this year. Crazy, isn't it? In a few weeks it'll be 2007. Are you ready? Now is the time to line up the New Year's resolutions and start making promises to ourselves. "This year I will lose the extra weight", "this year I will quit smoking", "this year I'll stop listening to Barry Manilow records" - whatever. There are so many promises in the air and we hardly ever do what we promise ourselves. So this year, I'm boycotting resolutions. I can do without. And if I have to promise myself anything it'll be something like "live everyday, love everyday, cherish everyday" because that I can live by forever and ever.
Rock on people and hug each other, the world is short on hugs

I miss my pets, so today Sophus the supercat will be the featured eyecandy of my blog. This is him doing what he's best at: taking a little nap in whichever small confined spot that presents itself. Such a fluffy sweetheart he is.
Today was nice and easy. We drove out to Järavallen and went for a walk in the forest and then we went out and did a bit of groceryshopping. So nothing too out of the ordinary happened. But that's what's nice at the time being. Everything is peaceful and the only worries I need to have are whether or not we'll be able to move me over here officially now or in another 10 months time. You see, there's a little issue called taxes when owning your own flat and moving to another country, so have a lot of practical stuff I need to sort out before I can apply for a Swedish socialsecurity number. Rather annoying to have to worry about but then again, I'll appriciate it all in a years time when we'll get the profit from selling the flat and thereby being able to afford a little house for ourselves. That's something to look forward to.
Well, hope everyone's well and feel free to comment my blogs. It's always nice with a little sign of someone reading my silly thoughts.
Rock on rockers <3
