wedding cake

I found the perfect wedding cake:

I so want a cake like this. I found it on a finnish wedding bloggers blog. She had a lot of beautiful cakes there, but I want this one.

I also realized we can just have a punch after the dinner, and that way save a lot of money on alcohol, and then no one has to stand in a bar. Great, isn't it?

Stupid computer fixers

Uh yeah! I just printed my term paper or exam paper, whatever I should call it. We did not have an exam instead we had to write a 15 pages paper. And now I have done it. On my last day off before 8 hectic days of work. But then I have the weekend off, which is nice, since Micke also has it. Micke workds 8-4 (or he is practicing, he does not get paid, just the student allovence, it is part of his studies) and I work 12/13-20/21/22. So we meet in the dreams! And after 8 days.

Micke made meatballs yesterday! I am so proud, I don't think he has ever, totally by himself, made something that advanced. Of course it did not go as planned (I had 5 missed calls when I got off work) but that is not the point. And they tasted good.

I got my own computer back, even if almost all parts were changed (it is like a new computer). And all the files are missing. And they were not supposed to be. I was supposed to get them even if I had to pay. I have a lot of work there, and mine and Mickes mails from the first summer we met when I was in Ecuador. We wrote a lot and the mails are so the best. I want them. I demand I get them. Then I also had half a year of AIESEC bookkeeping on it. Don't want to do it again.

Blond beer

I am still alive.

Had a great weekend, totally great. The stand-up was funny, my troath was so dry because of all the laughing. Afterwards we went to different bars, one was a bit scary: Torni. It was up on the 14th floor, and I don't really enjoy hights. On Sunday I went to visit my mom, had some icecream and hamburger as mothersday food. Then I also got to see my ohter relatives. Micke was sick so he stayed home.

I also got some rhubarb on Sunday, and I made a pie from it on Monday. It was good. I love rhubarb!

And yesterday I started working. And a person ordered a blond beer, wonder what kind of beer that is. Soon I am off to work again.

Stand-up

Tonight we are going to the stand-up competition between Finland and Sweden. I am going to laugh a lot.

Before that some shopping for Micke, and maybe looking at wedding rings.

Exams over, for now

Finally. Now only a term paper to write and then I will have a shoolbreak and work a while before I go to Costa Rica. Feels good. Even if the fall was more hectic than the spring I am shooltired. I feel I am studying to wrong thing, I don't know what I will do what I learn and so on. But the exam I had today, those things interest me, but it was only one course. But in economics I have only one course (a course I don't like all) left, and then I will write my canditate thesis, or whatever it is called. And then I can start thinking again on what I want to do.

After the exam I went swimming and in the sauna, I cleaned my body from all the bad stress. Then I walked in shops and tried on nice dresses, eat a Subway bread and a small arnold's donut. Soon I will go for a drink with some other students studying economics and then to see the movie with cameron diaz and ashton kutcher getting married in Las Vegas with Micke. And later we will eat tortillas and drink a bottle of wine.

Such a great day!

Unhealthy studying

I started to study too late. I like international economics, but don't have enough time to study for it. The exam is tomorrow.

I have some really unhealthy habits when I study. I eat a lot. Food and snacks get me to sit down by a table and study. It's bad and stupid, but I prefer gaining some weight during exam weeks, than failing all courses. Today I have eaten a lot of french fries and tiger ice cream. Coffee is also a good thing for studying. And water, a lot of water. And sleep. Will go and try to sleep now, to get up early in the morning and learn all things by heart and forget them after the exam. Smart. The system with exams is so great. Not.

Bad sleep day

I think I am semi-stressed, or too worried. I left studying for exams too late, and now I am so hyper I can't sleep. And then we come to same point I have come to many times: Micke is the best!

I went early to be to be energetic today. I couldn't sleep. Micke was up playing world of warcraft. But he came to me many times to get me to "night me" hugging, kissing and so on. After one hour I came to sleep in the sofa since the bed was so uncomfortable. Normally it is the best bed. Then he decided to go to sleep so I could sleep. He tried everything to get me to sleep, it was so cute. He gave me a massage, but the toughts in my head were just running around. But with him beside me I finally fell asleep. And then he overslept this morning. Sad story. But true!

I went for a short run, and now I am prepering for a finish exam. Such a great idea to write a blog in english before that.

Getting closer to results

Have examweek, I am supposed to study, but I am in a wedding planning period again, so can't stop.

The wedding is getting closer and closer. Only about 9 months left. When we started it was over 12 months. And there is still a lot of things that has to be done before the fall, but some things are getting clearer.

-We most probably have a great band (my mom fixed it), "kaveria ei jätetä"
-We most probably have someone making the food, and I get to try it first, gocatering from karis
-We have semi-reserved our wedding night in fiskars
-We made a budget, our wedding will be around 16 000 euros (honeymoon included) Don't know where to find that money
-The guest list is in better shape, we estimate that around 90 persons will show up, and the total amount of people invited (with avecs) will be around 110. I would like it to be less, but what to do? I can't just ask Micke to take away some of his nannys, since they are important to him. And I can't take away onyone. so
-The honeymoon is also taken care off

My wapp

Mmh. Maybe I took one glass of sparkling wine too much, or maybe 2 or 3. I just like it so so much.

Our picnic on 1 of May

My first time drunk/drinking

It was exactly 8 years since I started drinking, I was 14 and it was vappen. It was late, we were really good girls and knew alcohol and smoking was bad, but this day it changed, and after that we were not so good anymore.

I don't remember so much from the first time, but I still remember. We walked from Lee to Fiskars and we drank salmiakkikossu on the way and also smoked a bit. I remember falling down the grass and getting my shoes dirty. And then Lee, the most respnsible one, called Dagnys parents, or her own. And I found my brother, borrowed this really big old cellphone and called my mom and said I was drunk and that she has to come and pick me up. This was 10 o'clock. I went to my brother, since he was already bad and knew what to do in situations like that.

I don't think my mom was so angry, can't remember.

After that the bad drinking started. I think I drank so much because I was not really happy, it felt so good to just float in the drunken world and not care. Now, 8 years later I am so much better at drinking, I know my limits, even if I cross them sometimes.

Now I am going to eat my feta, basilika, tomato muffins.

M&Ms chocolatedeal

Mine and Mickes choclate and candy deal (not to eat it for 4 weeks) worked fine. We had some choclateicecream, but that was not illegal. Now we will just celebrate valborg and first of may, and then continue with it again. Feels so much better without so much sugar.

I just watched P.S. I love you. I cried so so much, and I don't normally cry for movies, it was a good movie. Both happy and sad!

I already went fo a walk this morning, and now I have to write some shoolstuff, later I am going to make some muffins for tomorrows first of may picnic. I made my own struvor yesterday. It did not really go as planned, they are too soft. Maybe the oil was not hot enough, or too hot. But otherwise they were good.

Tonight we are going to watch/look at students putting the student hat on a statue.

I am going to be a wife

I behaved. I drank the bottle of wine at home, and then we went to a park and from there to a girl's place, McDonalds and from there to TF to ylonz-jatkon, and then home. And I saw Mixu. Or I send her a message, and she also came. It was so long ago since we saw each other. Has to be done again, since we live in the same place.

I liked Micke a lot at the TF jatkon, and then at one point I was so angry (he got beer for himself, but he didn't get me water and I was deadthirsty). But he was so cute when he presented me as his wife to be to all his old friends. It's real, we are getting married. I am so so happy!
Some great pictures:

Semi-drunken Saturday night evening

I am still having fun with the wine. Micke got home, had some fun with him too. Then I had fun with the camera, here are the results:
Now we are going to the center, to a park. Have to behave.

Vina Sol

Went for a long walk, made a good salad, did some shoolworks, opened a bottle of cold white wine and now I am searching for wedding inspiration (means youtube).

Sunshine

It's such a great Saturday. The sun is shining and it's warm outside. Oh, that's where the greatness stops. I am inside, writing my last stupid finish exersice, Micke is gone (just for the day, he had some scoutstuff) and have nothing to look forward in this day. Except going out for a walk. And my coffee (it's on the way).

Helinmatkat turned out to be great. I got a mail from them the same day, and they will probably be the company fixing our honeymoon. It feels quite good. Even if I am good at booking trips, I can't do everything by myself, and they are professionals. And thenI don't have to stress about it. The problem with the time is that it is a "winter break" in Finland that week, and that's why it's good booking it now. It will be expensive, but worth it. And we want all inclusive, so then we can just be in paradise without worries. And it will also probalby be the Maldives, and a bungalow.

I am happy
