Month: December 2015

Can’t believe how quickly this week went. Soon time to light the third candle. Xmas is around the corner.

Yesterday it was the Nobel prize award in Stockholm. The pride and joy of Sweden. I love watching the event and see all the gorgeous dresses. Lol. I know.

Got dinner on the table right on time. Minute steak with potatoes. Mmm. Now some time in my corner – going to watch “På Spåret” and “Skavlan”. Our princess and her hubby are guests at the show tonight. Could be interesting.

Time for a donation to the blood center. Haven’t had time earlier this fall but today I did and it always feels great to be able to help someone. I really look forward to receiving that text message when they have used my donation. Puts a smile on my face.

I bought a couple of Xmas-presents on my way home and now I just baked saffron sponge-cake to treat by boys tonight. Busy busy. It feels good to be able to check things off the list.

Might have gone a bit overboard today. Had both a healthy lunch AND a healthy dinner. Hm. Have to be careful so I don’t get into any bad habits. Lol.

Can’t believe it’s already a week into December. Very windy and today it has been raining with tiny tiny drops which has felt like a sprinkler system more than rain. Makes you completely soaked and cold. Brrrr. I am longing for some snow now.

The song we sing on all Hammarbys games – Just idag är jag stark – felt like a good theme song for me today. After a couple of hectic weeks I feel like I have landed in some sort of survival mood. And some me-time this afternoon also helped a lot in getting me in a good mood.

An important week for my sons – last week to complete assignments and get credit for them this semester. Time to get busy and get things done. Fingers crossed they will make it! I hope my theme-song will have some effect on them too!

Time to light the second candle of advent. Half way to Xmas.

After a nice lazy morning it was time to get busy. First we went grocery shopping – we had a discount coupon that we wanted to make good use of so we bought a whole bunch of things for Xmas. And a nice deer roast for dinner. Mmm..

Cleaned all the beds, washed all the linen, vacuumed, organized things, ironed a mountain of shirts. Feels good to reward myself with some time infront of the tv cheering on our swimmers in the European Championships before it is time to enjoy the roast.

We spent the night at the conference center and few things in life can beat a served breakfast with home made bread and all the sandwich-spreads you can think of. Lit candles and no stress. Just sit down, chat, enjoy the food and surroundings. Perfect.

Now a lazy day to recover… Feel a bit tired today – but took it easy on the drinks last night. I think it is due to all the stress and work organizing in combination with getting to bed late and sleep in a new bed.

Have a great Saturday everyone!

Friday .. and we received a bag of goodies to the office to try. Mmm.. They were all very delicious. Hard to pick a winner.

Then it was time for our annual Xmas-event with my office. After work we went to a conference center north of town to enjoy a lovely three course dinner together. I had prepared a pentathlon for us to enjoy after dinner and five challenging events later we could name a winning team. I think/hope they enjoyed my efforts.

Still no winter in sight. 7C and a bit rainy this morning. Sunny weather during the day and about the same this evening as when I left for work this morning. No cold weather in the prognosis either. Hm.

All set for tomorrow night – my work has a Xmas-dinner after work. I have been involved in the planning and organizing of food and entertainment. Fingers crossed everything goes according to plan and that my colleagues like what have been prepared for them.

Short day .. stayed in the city for a bit to run a few errands so I started with a nice lunch by myself. Chicken pie with veggies and a glas of icetea. Mm.

Going to start dinner in a bit – homemade burgers tonight. One set of towels already in the washing machine. Maybe I have time for another one too.
