IF I HAD A MILLION DOLLARS

We had a lazy long weekend and now I’m having a busy week. It’s making my second short week feel longer, because there’s so much in it. Wah wah wah, here comes the Wahmbulance, as my brother would say. I might have mentioned in a recent post how anxious I was feeling about money…all these big expenditures we have right now is making me panic a bit. We had several huge car repair bills, still have a few to pay and car service coming up, Martin’s graduation party, our tickets to the US, driving school, plus some busted appliances …EEK....

BUT DO I REALLY FEEL THE WAY I FEEL?

Spring spring spring! Everyone is posting about spring! AT’CHOO! RUB RUB RUB….augh, my itchy eyes! Spring: pffooey. Allergy season, more like. It gets worse every year, which bums me out because I AM excited about spring. Can we skip to the part where my eyes stop itching? haha! Anyway. It’s Easter break and the kids are off school, despite the fact that they were off school for a week just 3 weeks ago. Spoiled rotten, that’s what. Karin is off for the second night to stay with friends in Lund. She’s flying the coop more and more. Martin is still...

STRESS CANNOT EXIST IN THE PRESENCE OF A PIE*

It was sunny and blue by the time we left work (Anders picked me up after picking up Martin because my car is in for repairs) but I was in a seminar all afternoon so the weather was moot. I hope it’s warming up for real now, though…I would like for it to be spring already. Martin and I went for a walk on Saturday, and it was also warm and blue and we saw snowdrops and smörblommor and crocuses, and the tiny green leaves of what will be miniature violets along a rock wall, and teeny tiny lilac buds....

EARS, FISH, PIE, MONEY

Karin got her ears pierced today…there goes my dream of third generation virgin lobes! 😀 …haha! I actually don’t know if my grandmother has pierced ears…if she does, then I am the third generation and Karin’s destroyed the dream for fourth. She’s been wanting to get her ears pierced for several years and I had told her she had to wait until she was 15. It’s not that I really care about whether or not she has pierced ears but I think body alterations should be made as your own decision when you are adult enough to know what you...

GOT A GOAT?

It’s the first of March already, you guys! *boggle* Is there something you’re supposed to do on the first of March? Is this the month you’re supposed to say “Rabbit, rabbit”? I can’t remember and I can’t be bothered to google it. Do you suppose it counts if you write it instead of saying it out loud? Do you suppose it gets Google’s goat when people use google as a verb? Do you suppose Google even has a goat? Can you tell I’m still a little light-headed from this cold? Heh. I have nothing to write about, having been sick...
