UPDATEY

First day of a 3-week vacation and my brain wakes me up before 7 am. WTF brain? Couldn’t get back to sleep no matter what I tried so here I am to talk at you. Just realized that I haven’t posted for ages. I’m a little tired of how time flies, wish it would slow down just a bit. I worked until nearly 9 pm last night, long after the last warriors had fallen, the day before the midsummer holiday. Because I was on a training trip to Germany on Wednesday, I lost a day of getting things done that...

ANOTHER (SCHOOL) YEAR GONE

I can’t even look at my children sometimes without boggling. They’re both taller than I am and it’s happened so fast. Martin will be 16 in December. I just asked him how old he was and when he gave me a very sarcastic, “I’m FIFTEEN”, I said, “That can’t be right.” Time flies, yes, it does. They both had their last day of school yesterday and when I said I was probably going to go to Martin’s if they were at the same time, Karin got all upset and said no one loved her. So I was relieved to find...

SPOILED

We’re getting spoiled over here. Spoiled with summer. Spoiled with sunshine. And spoiled with long weekends. There are a lot of them right in a row during May and June here in Sweden. The weather has been fantastic and even though I’m not necessarily out in it all day, I’m enjoying it so much in my own way. It’s nice to feel like the zoom button on my life has been turned to low for a bit, even though I know it’s only temporary and part of me was freaking out completely just the other day over the fact that...

TODAY IS THE TOMORROW YOU WORRIED ABOUT YESTERDAY

OMG two posts in a row! Apocalypse! I figure I can’t get bummed out and upset about the fact that no one blogs much anymore if I am just as guilty. Plus, I feel like writing, and whether or not I have anything to write about: here I am. I have to tell you a story and you have to promise not to laugh. Because I am really, really embarrassed about it. In fact, I think it’s good enough to possibly bump one of my top three most embarrassing moments off the list. Go ahead, go click that link and...

SITTING, SPECULATING, SINGING, SHOPPING, STYLING, SPROUTING

There’s a dove perched on the ridge of the neighbor’s garage. He looks cold. It’s windy and grey, a high white cloud cover, and the air coming in through the window I opened earlier is chilly. Yesterday was humid, so despite the bleakness, the temperature drop is actually a welcome one for me. Not that I want to wish away summer, but if I could have my sunshine and cool breezes year-round I’d be a happy camper. It’s a quiet, uneventful weekend. Karin was sick last week again so she’s not playing in the soccer matches going on. Martin is...
