Good deeds..

This morning I fulfilled my good deed quota for the year, I like to try and do one good deed per year and this morning I got my chance.
So I had just left Emma at the train station when I was stopped by an older lady with a suitcase, she wasn't from around here and her first question was.. "where is the bus station" so I gave her a puzzled look and told her that she was basically standing at it and I didn't know of any other places to catch buses around here.. that were main stations that is.. she then started talking to whoever she had on the phone in her native language.. I had no idea what she was saying and then after a few minutes of going back and fourth I asked her what station did she actually want to be at coz I was getting the idea that she was not at the one she wanted and sure enough she answered "Malmö" so that cut things semi short as I told her she was at the wrong one and that she would need to catch a train to Malmö and there is in fact one coming in just a few minutes.. to which I then told her to get on that and find the conductor and ask them to let you know when you get off.. it is about a 50min trip and they do have a sound system that lets you know what station you are coming up to so that you know when you get off but her safest option would be to just find the conductor. She then thanked me and I wished her good luck and off she toddled towards the train.. I just hope she managed to get on it and get to where she needed to go. So that my friends is my good deed for the year!! *takes a bow*

After I finished walking Nemo I was about to walk up the outside steps when out of nowhere the little black poodle thing that makes funny noises jumps at us and starts making those funny noise.. I jumped coz well it was totally unexpected and Nemo was like.. ooooo plaything!! I can't even say that I didn't see it coz it was dark coz it wasn't.. it was semi light.. it was nuts.. it was like it just appeared.. like someone had beamed it in from outer space! Maybe that was my punishment for actually doing a good deed?

Yesterday had the most horrible weather, it was cold and wicked windy and of course rainy.. I forgot to grab my gloves when I took Nemo out on his midday piss walk and when I got home my fingers were throbbing from the cold! Just horrible it sure was! but today seems a bit betterer.. its still cold but its no where near as windy and the rain has retreated to somewhere else.. thank goodness! I don't much like the sound of windows creaking because of the wind. There are many things I like and dislike but I find it rather unnerving to hear windows creaking from the wind outside.. it caused images to pop into my head where all the windows start smashing.. yeah not a pretty picture!

Glass!!

Glass!! Glass! Freaken GLASS!!
What the eff is up with people smashing bottles anywhere and everywhere? I mean seriously.. how freaken hard is it to find a bin to throw it in? I just don't get why people.. or well I guess I should say Punks.. feel the need to smash bottles all over the place! Its getting to the point where I think the safest option is to but little doggy boots on Nemo so that I don't have to worry about him slicing his paws on bits of freaken glass ALL over the freaken place! RAWR! It makes me ever so mad that Punks and I say it with a capital P to emphasize the P sound.. you know like.. Puh-unks! so as I was saying it makes me so mad that Punks feel the need to smash glass everywhere just so that they look cool to their other Punk friends!
ARGH! there is just so much glass everywhere and it is driving me insane.. freaken INSANE! It makes me want to round up all the glass smashing Punks and make them walk barefoot over flesh cutting shards of none other than GLASS! and maybe then they might just stop running around the place smashing bottles and gawd knows what else they can find that is made of glass! RAWR!! Freaken Glass smashing Punks!! *raises fist into the air and shakes it*

I need ice cream.

Monday 25 February 2008

& I have no pants.

Once again its good ole trusty Monday.. nothing quite like it.. it started off a little cold and dark.. then some sun came out to play for a little bit and now.. it can't seem to make up its mind if it wants to stay or go.. my bet is that it will go!

So as I mentioned in the previous post.. I was going to see Jumper.. well we went and saw it.. and it was an average movie.. and definetly one that would need to be seen on the big screen.. on a small screen it would prolly just be shyte.. but hey whatever rocks your boat! Halfway-ish through I wanted to leave.. but not coz the movie was average but because I was freaken cramped! I had this moron next to me who was basically right on me.. so I had to squish over to Emma.. not that I mind being close to Emma.. but I like to have some space.. and really what is the harm of moving 1 seat down when the cinema isn't full! Now you ask why didn't we move one seat down.. coz we were pinned in from the other side too! So annoying! I would of got up and moved to another seat altogether but I like to be in the middle and all the middle seats were taken.. so I just had to eat my chips & candy and watch the movie and deal with it.. I have to say.. I am glad it wasn't a long movie.. oh and to make matters worse.. it was freaken hot! so cramped & hot! just not the best combo at all.. but like I said it was an average movie and I am glad I saw it on the big screen!
Another movie we watched was.... The Bee Movie.. now my friends.. that is one funny movie and I totally think everyone should see it! so many funny lines in it! just loved it! L.O.V.E.D IT!

Ahhh what else is there to say.. Emma cooked a meal on Saturday and it was fab! I should have taken a video of it all going down.. coz I have no idea when it will happen again! but she cooked and I tell ya food sure does taste so much betterer when you don't cook it yourself.. now if I could just convince her to cook every day! Oh I do tell a lie.. when we have pancakes.. Emma makes them.. I can't stand making pancakes and that is one thing that she has down to a fine art!

You know all in all it was a pretty relaxed weekend.. just hung at home mainly.. watched stuff.. hung out with Nemo, we were gonna give him a bath but Nemo was feeling a little on the ill side so we left him be for the time being.. and now it's meant to rain tomorrow anyways so it would have been a waste of time. Well I think thats really about all I have to say..

T.G.I.F

Yes indeedy... Thank God It's Friday! I would like nothing more than to be able to go to Friday's and have a nice meal and drink.. especially in South Yarra, Emma and I often enjoyed our time in there enjoying the odd margarita.. "ahhh memories" but sadly I will just have to settle for being happy that its actually Friday and the weekend is just around the corner so that I can get up to all sorts of fun and maybe not to fun stuff with Emma. Tomorrow in fact we are going to see the movie 'Jumper' it sure does look good and I think you would need the big screen feel when seeing it for the first time.. hey any excuse to go to the movies I say!

Today started off cold and wet.. the rain was a bit stingy and I was sure glad to be home.. Nemo was glad to be home too until I took his jacket off and chucked him in the bath.. then he was just mad.. even tho it was just a rinse off bath.. not like a proper bath.. which is what he will be getting this weekend so shhhh.. but anyways afterwards he curled up on the couch and was happy as larry again. I was happy that when it came to the lunch walk, it had stopped raining.. it was still cold but the rain had stopped and thats the best thing.

Moving along to Dexter.. I finished reading the book today and I have to say I look forward to starting on the next Dexter book on Monday.. or maybe if I end up with nothing at all to do over the weekend I might start it then but otherwise it shall be on Monday. I have to say I really liked the fact that the book is really rather different to the TV series and I LOVED the TV series.. I can't wait for season 3! Did you know that that is the first book I have read cover-to-cover since I read The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown.. which was.. umm a while ago! I have never really been good at reading.. short attention span mainly. I am proud of myself for reading this book tho and I do plan on reading all 3 and maybe after that I will actually find other books to read.. we have a few books in the bookshelf that I haven't read so maybe just maybe I will start on those.. and if I feel really adventurous then I may just start on the Harry Potter books.. yeah right, who am I kidding? I will never read those!

Sergeant Doakes: Fuck you!
Dexter Morgan: Okay. Uh, is there something I can...
Sergeant Doakes: Yeah, you can get me your fucking analysis on the blood spatter on these killings! You think I'm here to invite you to my nephew's briss?
Dexter Morgan: [sarcastic] I didn't know you were Jewish!
Sergeant Doakes: Shut the fuck up and write your report already!

Not a heck of a lot..

*yawn* I was up extra early this morning, coz you see there was a lunar eclipse and Emma and I were off on a little adventure to try and take a pic or two.. or three.. oh wait we are talking about Emma so it would be more like one hundred.. easy! but we get out and about and the sky has a massive grey cloud blanky and nothing was getting through.. so we went home all saddened. Awww. No pics of nothing.. just came home and killed time before Emma had to head off to work.. which was a little creepy coz it was like there was no-one around and then it was like someone just snapped their fingers and people were everywhere. It was a little odd.. even when I was walking.. I didn't see the people I would normally see.. maybe we are being invaded? Hmmm

Sometimes I feel like I have been invaded.. like I am not really who I am.. I am just a shell and there is something else controlling it.. like when I write these blogs.. its not me.. its some crazy person.. a crazy person who sometimes writes crazy things.. ok now I'm just starting to be a little too odd. *rolls eyes @ myself*

Hmm, so what has been happening in the life of Jo lately.. lets see.. not a heck of a lot.. I haven't really been feeling all that well.. a little sickly so I have been resting as much as possible and Emma has been nice enough to take Nemo for his afternoon walks alone.. which has helped with making me feel a little better.. just enough so that I still had energy after cleaning my place today.. I do have to say I love walking on a floor after it has been washed.. although it is a tad slippery.. I need to be careful not to fall on my ass.. not that I don't have enough padding tho.
Well I think thats about all I can say without gibbering on more about total nothingness!

The weekend that was..

First up.. Friday night Emma came home drunk! Yesm.. lil ole Emma came home drunk and decided it was a good time to chat.. so after actually finally waking me up properly she decided it was a good time to shush and go to sleep so I was left awake while she was snoring her little head off.. well she wasn't exactly snoring but for the purpose of this story we will say that was. Then after a couple of hours.. Nemo started his crying.. on and off for a few hours.. so I sure did not have a very good sleep at all. We were up early on Saturday.. I was a real sweetheart and cooked Emma some breakfast to try and make her feel a bit betterer.. it worked. Off to walkies and then hung about home before heading off to town for a looksie.. nothing overly exciting but I did manage to pick out a couple of things for my nephews, which is always fun.. then back home and just sitting down to watch Supernatural when the phone rings and its the parentals saying that we are off to a shopping centre.. so off we go.. Nemo got to go for a ride which made him wicked happy!

We bought some new fish.. The Invisibles, which I find ever so CREEPY. Also Rikard Räka and 4 brightly coloured fish that we are yet to name.. any suggestions?
(NOTE: I have made the names clickable so that you can actually see what the fish are)
So now the tank is looking lively again and all the fish seem to be happy and getting along.. which is always nice.

Sunday I don't really remember too much about other than I wasn't feeling 100% and to be honest I am still not feeling 100%.. my head feels like its being pounded with a sledge hammer and my eye feels like its being stabbed and twisted with a big knife.. my guts feels like its full of acid and its wanting to break out.. all in all I feel like shyte.

Even tho I wasn't feeling all that good on Sunday I still managed to bake some muffins.. Emma wanted some muffins for in the mornings so I made some. Emma did her first painting.. if you will recall I mentioned that Emma got some painting stuffs a few weeks ago.. well she did her first bit of art.. I would post a pic.. but I doubt Emma would let me.. but I shall make sure that when she is a famous artist I still have that first bit of art work.. it will be worth *said in the best Dr. Evil voice* "1 billion dollars" Muahahaha

Well today is a bit sucky.. so I'm gonna go and do something else and leave you with a quote from Austin Powers..

The Suicidal Birdies

A moment where I wished I owned a decent video camera...
So anyways I am laying on my couch, just looking out my window at the clear blue sky and in my view it the roof of the building across from me. On this roof there are 2 birds.. turned to each other and it looked like they were having a domestic so I figure why not make voices and pretend that they are saying shit to each other.. I wont go into all the details of the conversation I was imagining that they might actually be having. So anyways one bird turns around and storms off.. I'm sure it was maybe its normal walk but for dramatic effect we will say that it stormed off to the edge of the building of which I couldn't see the other side of.. it took a look over the edge which is where I pretended it said "I can't live like this ANY longer" and then it stepped off and it just looked like it fell.. yes I know I know.. birds fly.. but I couldn't actually see it fly away.. it just looked like it jumped off the edge. So anyways just after that happened the other bird ran to the edge which is where I now pretended that it was saying "NOOOOOOOOOOO" as it ran., the bird looked down and then to the side and just stepped off the edge like the bird had done previously. I laughed for a little bit and then went about my day of doing nothing much.

Don't you think my blog title for today sounds like a band name? Emma has this thing for band names.. so has SO very many band names.. if only she had the actual bands to go with all the band names she has come up with! So I guess her little band name addiction has rubbed off on me! lol

Oh and another thing that happened yesterday afternoon that made me laugh coz I am EVIL! and I really dislike my neighbours! so anyways I am sitting there in silence and I hear people running up and down the stairs in the stairwell yelling and sounding hysterical calling out for the little girl who I guess is maybe about 2yrs old.. then I hear the little girl screaming from up in the attic.. this little girl has the worst crying scream ever and I guess she was even more upset than usual.. which I don't blame her coz it was even louder than usual.. then 2 people run up the stairs and open the door to the attic and grab the screaming child.. and instead of taking to the comfort of her own home stand up by the attic where she was just locked in trying to calm her down and she just wouldn't stop screaming.. after about 10mins they finally used their heads and went downstairs and took her home and not long after she stopped crying.. you really have to wonder exactly how they managed to get her locked in there.. but it sure did make me laugh and maybe now they will stop letting her play in the stairwell.. coz no doubt it happened coz she was playing in the stairwell and then saw that the door was open and wandered on in and the person wouldn't have known and closed the door as they finished up and locked the little brat in there. My ears would like it if she stopped playing in the stairwell thats for sure *nods*

This morning it was -3 outside while walking Nemo and buy the time I got home it felt like my cheeks had been stung with pins repeatedly.. I thought that only happened when it was much colder than -3! How wrong I was! It may be cold out there but the sun is shining and the sky is a beautiful blue.. its nice.. it makes one feel a little betterer when there is blue skies and sunshine.. yesterday was the same.. it was one of those days where if it had of actually been a bit warmer where you head off to the park with some lunch and a good book.. and speaking of books.. yesterday I had 20mins to kill before having to go and meet Emma at the station that I decided it was about time I actually started reading the first Dexter book.. and so I read the first chapter and then wished that I didn't have to go and meet Emma coz I wanted to read a little more.. but that will be something that I do today.. after the first chapter I am not exactly hooked but I want to read more to really make up my mind. Maybe reading this will get me into the spirit of reading and help me fill in my long days.. you just never know.. and then maybe I can buy some books at the book sale at the end of the month! lol

You know I never knew how hard it is to find decent 100 piece puzzles for kids.. 100 piece puzzles don't seem to be the number here.. but I am determined to find at least one decent one for my little nephews birthday! It always seems to be the way.. when I am actually looking for something I find it so darn hard to find it but once I have stopped looking I find all these things that would have been perfect! Does anyone else have this problem? or is it just my curse? lol
I should really get my A into G and find one tho.. coz pretty soon it will actually be the end of the month and thats when I need to have the package sent off.. I really need to get my A into G for the photo album too.. I have been so slack.. maybe Emma can drag me out at some stage over the weekend and actually take some pics.. we shall see what happens I guess..

'-' mini face!

Good news!! We have sunshine in the forecast! and lots of it!
Bad news!! We will be getting below zero temps with it!
I guess you can't win them all aye? I am just looking forward to the sunshine... and lollipops! ok I might have to actually go and buy some lollipops to have with the sunshine.. I would love to have some watermelon flavoured Chupa Chups!

Emma just did the cutest thing in gtalk!--->> '-' mini face! I like faces! o_O
I just sneezed like 4 times and have a massive headrush!

I go to a site daily to see the daily find on FOUND and todays one made me laugh.. it was the sentence 'I'm looking forward to sleeping with you on an inflatable mattress soon' that started the laughter and then it just continued.. its nice to see there are still people who are.. how do I say it.. happy with the simple things in life.. like air beds and hating orange tans! lol I have to say I do enjoy doing to that site.. some of the things are rather interesting.. like all good things there are some that aren't so interesting or any good.. but yeah its still worth the daily visit. I often wish I could walk around and find little things like that.. although if I did find little notes and things here it would all be in Swedish and thats not as fun for me I guess.. so for now I will stick to just looking at the FOUND site.

Well thats all I got today.. not too much has been happening.. well lots has been happening around the world that I could sit here and pass comment on.. but I think I shall pass and bid you a good day.

layZee!

It is Monday again.. the weekend is over and done with, once again ever so quickly. We had rather nice weather over the weekend.. yesterday we even got up to a cheery 10degrees *nods* yes people a cheery 10! The sun was shining the weather was sweet and it really did make me want to move my dancing feet! The J's came over to help us get through the Mud Pie. After we then had a good giggle at Emma playing Wii Olympics.. now that is really more fun than actually playing it yourself.. well for me anyways.. maybe coz I'm layZee! lol

I wonder what the week will have in store for me.. I should really go out and take some pics for an album I am putting together for my nephew so that he can see where I live etc.. Emma is much better at taking photos though so it makes me just want to leave that job to her.. once again my layZee-ness is coming through! haha

Ok so onto a completely different topic.. Emma and I were laying on the couch last night and we were trying to remember when it was that she got stung by a bee.. after much discussion and then much laughter we or well she remembered that it was on the J's lawn here in Hässleholm and it wasn't even the whole bee.. it was just its ass! so Emma has never been stung by a bee.. only by a lonely bee's ass.. which I still find funny.. but then maybe its coz I was there to actually see it happen. I don't think I have been stung.. I'm unlucky like that! lol

Oh and in the news this morning.. Emma kindly pointed out that Sony Ericsson has jumped into bed with Microsoft and are going to produce a phone (XPERIA X1) to take on the iPhone. I am deeply saddened by this.. I thought Sony Ericsson knew betterer!
I don't hate the iPhone but I am a bit anal about finger smudges on my phone and I just think having to always touch the screen would drive me mad.. but other than that I do like it.. but this thing that SE+Microsoft are producing is just pure ugly.. so
really who in their right mind would buy an ugly phone......
with a shit OS? coz really we all know how good the Microsoft OS's are! *shakes head*
I am now going to have to start looking for a new brand of phone to support I guess..
Aren't there enough ugly crap phones out there in this world already?

Well now I shall depart and go and do something else.. I am unsure what yet.. but my feet are cold so maybe I will go and find my slippers! ahhhh slippers.. gotta love em!

Baking Day!

Today was baking day and bake we sure did.. that was once we had woken up and taken Nemo out and then got everything that we needed from the store.. which is always a task and a half but we got there in the end..
our end result --->
Firstly we started off with 'Mud Pie'--> which is one heavy mother freaken thing.. tasted sickly chocolate.. you only need a slither and you are happy.. and to be honest I don't think I will ever make it again unless I was asked very very nicely.. but it was a fun process.. so while that was cooking we then made the 'Drömmar'--> balls and put them on the tray ready to bake and once they were ready, we moved on and made some 'Brownies'--> then once those had finished baking we had some dinner and then headed off to walk Nemo. Once we got home it was right back into the baking agenda..
first up was 'Hallongrottor'--> but instead of using raspberry we did some with strawberry and some with boysenberry.. there would have been more with boysenberry but Emma got way too carried away with putting the strawberry in coz it was so easy and I guess loads of fun squirting in little globs of jam!
Finally we ended with 'Kärleksmums'-->
I am very impressed that with all the baking I did that the only injury I did to myself was this--> and it wasn't even when I was baking it was when I was freaken cooking dinner!! Dang nabbit typical I must say! not that I want to actually hurt myself but its usually a thing with me.. when I am in the kitchen I end up injuring myself.. coz I sure am that good! o_O

A few things I saw today.. an oldish man standing on the side of the walkway having a piss.. I mean come on surely you can wait until you get home! bloody shocking it was! It made me wish that we didn't forget the milk coz then we wouldn't have been there to witness the peepeeman! Gross! Oh and you know something that I just really don't get... why is that people think that they have to try and beat people who are going to walk across a crossing.. it amazes me how many cars speed up when they see you either coming up to walk out or are already even walking out.. its almost like they think that you are going to hear the car rev and go "oh shyte I best turn around and let this guy go past coz he surely has somewhere better to be coz I am only walking" -_- I mean far out.. its not that hard to slow down a little and usually if you aren't speeding then I will make it across before you get there so you don't have to stop.. maybe I just don't get it coz I don't drive.. hmmm It happened to me today is why I mention it.. or well it actually happens to me on a daily basis but today the guy was really bad.. if only I could have kicked him in the shins!

So now I shall leave you on a nice note with some lovely pics of Nemo and I..
Awww aint we sweet!-->
<--& here is one of Nemo and I growling at each other.

Ahhh what a day.. I am now ready to curl up in bed and snoooooze the night away.

Friday 8 February 2008

Crazy start to Friday!

Nemo Report: 2nd night in the office.. no crying! He did a little 'I'm a badass' growl when I put him to bed but that was it.. closed the door and went to bed myself and didn't hear a peep from him.. and still no barking at night so I think shutting him the office is going to do wonders for my beauty sleep.. coz we all know I need it!

So today at the end of the morning walk, Nemo and I are walking up the stairs, or well I am standing with the door open and waiting for Nemo to come up but he was too busy looking at this little black poodle thing that makes funny noises.. so I give him a tug and he starts walking up and then all of a sudden the little black poodle thing that makes funny noises is on him trying to eat him and Nemo had this big WTF? look on his face.. but Nemo is still wagging his tail, then the little black poodle thing that makes funny noises saw me looking at it and ran away barking its funny little bark. Crazy start to Friday!

Ahhh Friday again.. the day of cleaning and washing.. nothing like it! Everything all fresh for the weekend ahead.. I am hoping to do some baking this weekend.. I have had a real baking craving, I just want to bake bake bake.. I know we are going to be making a Mud Pie from this new cook book that Emma bought.. Emma has this thing for buying cook books and we never end up using them.. there is going to be a book sale coming up soon and Emma goes to me.. "I will try not to buy any cook books" (maybe not her exact words but it was along those lines) but I bet she does!! So yeah I feel like baking.. hopefully I will come up with some nice things to bake that can at least be frozen too so that we don't have to try and eat everything this weekend! lol or well that would be fun.. but VERY sickly!

I get my way..

Finally I was able to sleep through the night!
♪♪ Oh, what a feeling! When were dancing on the ceiling ♪♪

Well it would have been a full good nights sleep if Emma hadn't of decided that she would wake up early and let Nemo out of the office.. you see I had finally had enough of being woken up by Nemo barking at the paper-person who delivers the paper to peoples in the building in the early hours of the morning.. so anyways it was making me cranky for the day so Emma and I went up to the storage area and got one of the doors down to put back on the hinges so that we could shut Nemo in.. in the hope that it would mean that he doesn't hear the paper-person in the morning and he wont bark.. and I am happy to say that it worked!! The only sad thing is that he cried for about.. I will say an hour or Emma will get mad at me.. I really believe that it was less.. but yeah sad fact is that he cried.. scratched on the door a little but eventually tucked himself up in bed for the night.. he stopped crying not long after Emma actually got into bed.. so maybe the trick is for Emma to get into bed quicker and that way he doesn't hear her crashing about doing her nightly routine. I am happy to be able to sleep through the night thats for sure. Maybe now I wont be such a moody bitch? lol yeah I doubt that too!

Well Nemo just did the coolest/cutest thing.. you might not think so but it was exciting for me and I need something to jot about so this is going to be it..
I am standing in front of Nemo with doggie candy and I get Nemo to give me a high5.. which requires him to stretch a little coz its not a gimme5 its a high5 so anyways I then ponder to myself.. "I wonder if he will do a high10" so I stick both my hands out and say "high10 Nemo" and he does a little jump thing and reaches out and place each paw on each hand and then down again! & then of course I gave him the candy and a pat.. it was cute cute cute! & that is my story!

Well its that time again where I need to rug up and head into the outdoors.. or well its not really that cold out there and its not raining which is always a bonus..

Waitangi Day!

Today is Waitangi Day in New Zealand.. for those who don't know what that is.. it is the national day.. so me being a kiwi I have decided that with it being a public holiday I shall take the day off from.. well housework! coz thats all the work I really do.. so today I am going to do nothing.. which comes at a good time coz I am actually in rather a rotten mood and really who likes to do anything when they are in a rotten mood? Not me thats for sure!

So yesterday while waiting for Emma at the supermarket I was sitting on a bench.. I had Nemo and as you know.. dogs are not allowed in stores.. unless they are dogs for the blind and last time I checked I am not blind and Nemo would be useless as a guide dog! but anyways so we are sitting there minding our own business when this stinky oldish man came and sat down next to us.. which doesn't actually bother me.. after all it is a public bench and it is made for all kinds of bums. So anyways he then proceeds to roll a ciggie and start smoking it.. causing smoke to blow my way.. I think this is rather on the rude side.. I know that when I was a smoker I would at least have some courtesy for those who didn't smoke around me.. but I guess not all smokers are nice like the angel me.. lol I sat there and just put my head in my jacket and waited for Emma and then when she arrived we were on our way and within minutes of leaving the bench we look back and he was freaken gone! Bloody typical!
"Is it really that hard to be courteous of non-smokers?"

Yesterday was Fettisdagen(aka Fat Tuesday).. so we got to eat Semlor(aka Fat Tuesday Buns).. which I found a little odd, I guess mainly coz of the almond paste stuff.. still it was nice for a treat.. and unlike King Adolf Frederick of Sweden who died after consuming a meal and then 14 of them.. I would struggle with getting 2 in me.. maybe thats why I am not a king? lol

Emma and I finally made it out of the house and into Malmö.. it was rather nice to get out and about for a change.. shame about it being so windy and cold but all in all in was a good day.. started off good with being able to actually get a seat on the train.. always a bonus! and then I got to have coffee in a paper cup.. the only downfall is they don't really make it hot enough.. its like luke warm, which is nice so that you don't scald your mouth from it being too hot but then you have to drink it quickly otherwise it goes cold.. and that.. my friend.. sucks!

Then the shopping began! and we went crazy! but sadly we forgot to go to the camera store and buy a new lens :( Emma did however get some paints and things to paint with and paint on for a new hobby that she wants to take up.. hopefully it doesn't just get packed away.. I have never really been any good at painting.. maybe its the messiness of it? who knows..
I got a couple of pairs of jeans.. which brings me to the standing in line for the dressing room.. there was this girl who was standing behind me to the side who wouldn't shut up! It wouldn't have been so bad if she didn't have one of those voices that grated right into the ear.. but alas she did have one of those voices.. it took all my might to not just turn around and bop her one in the mouth! You have to wonder what makes someone talk so freaken loudly next to complete strangers? I'm not saying that people can't have conversations but far out.. keep it to a reasonable level of loudness.. the person who you are talking to is standing or sometimes even sitting right next to you.. not all the way across the other side of the room! come on! but all in all.. I think that was the only real thing that annoyed me all day.. which is always nice.. normally people piss me off more.. maybe I was just happy to be out and about.. we were even lucky to get a seat on the way home.. which is always nice after a day of walking about shopping.. ones legs get rather tired.. I would also say that ones arms get tired too but Emma is the bag carrier.. coz she is ever so sweet! lol and the train wasn't too noisy on the way home either which was nice.. so all in all we had a really nice day and people didn't rub me up the wrong way.. which always makes for a nice change lol

The evening was full of just chilling at home watching stuffs.. Emma fell asleep on the couch.. I guess carrying all those bags tuckered her all out! lol I got to laugh a lot while watching AVF.. I do love that show! Altho I do get annoyed coz it seems all the unfunny ones win most of the time.. it sure is a little on the annoying side!

Sunday was a day of nothingness! Up early-ish and walked around to the parentals to drop off CRC & candy(odd combo I know!) and Emma took the camera out and took a million pic's.. thats what she does best! Then we went foodage shopping and got some yummo veg to have roast veg for dinner.. mmmm soooo goood! Nothing like a plate full of roast veg and cheese sauce! Just greatness! We watched a movie called.. 'Wristcutters: A Love Story' which was actually kinda funny..

& there we have it.. my weekend.. all over and done with and here I am on Monday thinking of something to do and coming up empty...


Royce: Do you have any monkey?
Dexter: Do you mean money?
Royce: What did I say?
Dexter: You said do you have any monkey.
Royce: Monkey. Money. No man, I don't have any monkey, man.

Old & New....

Well I decided I would use this blogger instead of Bebo.. but for those of you who might like some background reading from yours truly then here is the link.. Bebo doesn't really have a good indexing of the blog so I guess its just a matter of going back to the start and working your way up.. page by page.. or not worrying about it and just reading from here on out.. which is always easier.. So here is the linkage for the old blog... Click here!!

I do have to say I had no idea how long it would take to pick a name for the blog.. and then coz my name was taken as an address I had to pick another one of those and that took a while to find one that wasn't taken.. and then the whole template thing.. but hey at least it killed over an hour of my day.. which is always a bonus and then you have to set up the profile and all that jazz.. which took about another hour.. & well now.. we have the end result.. so peoples... happy readings!
