Friday morning

Still alive, but nothing speical to write about. We have sent most of the wedding invitations. I am doing my presetnation about bananas. And today I glöggrundan so we are off to Åbo/Turku. Great!

Glöggrundan, soon we come!

I was very lovly lovy yesterday. Now I am not anymore. Now I am normal again. But happy.

Just had my second last presentation before christmas, have my last one next Monday (about bananas in Spanish), have no exams before christmas, me, micke, pedu, tanja, lee, dagny and steffen are all going to be at glöggrundna next Firday, there is a lot of snow outside and I feel good (even if I have not worked out for weeks, I blame the flue!).

Today I work from 13-22. Hope the planes are on time today.

Love

Love is really the greatest feeling in the world. Love it. Love loving.

work in storm

Yesterday was a bit more hectic than usual at work. All the flights were delayed and we had a lot of hungry, sad customers. Luckily it was Sunday and I got double salary.

Micke is home

so I have had no want to blog. Then I have also been working, so no time for blogging. But Micke is home again, and it is great, great, great!

Yesterday after work we went watching Madagascar 2, great entertainment! Soon I am off to work again, hope that there won't be many delays today, even if the weather people have promised bad, bad weather.

Snow + Helsinki= water

Things are looking better. I found a great idea, I hope it will work out as a great bachelor tesis topic. Hope.

When i woke up today there was snow outside, snow, for the first tiem this year in Helsinki. Now it is snowing a bit outside, but it still looks grey and awful, since when the snow falls to the ground, it becomes water and it's annoying walking in it, wespaiclaly since my new rubberboots from vagabond are broken. Not nice. I want a lot of snow, and then I want to go snowboarding. (not my picture-google)

I am tired, and I have to finnish a term paper. Uuuuh. And buy some more cards.

Help me!

Uuuh. Now I really feel stressed. I don't know what to write my bachelor's thesis about. Not at all. Have been trying to figure it out now for some hours and don't get any good idea. Not even one. And I have to know before tomorrow because then Lee comes here to make invitation cards with me. I have already made around 10. It takes a long time. But I like them, they are pretty. I will try to send as few as them as possible, since it costs 85 cents to send a card in Finland. So, have to meet all our guests.

We got the weddingstuff we ordered some weeks ago. I got so, so upset with Micke, because I accidenlty found the note on the table where it said the package had arrived (it arrived on Friday) , and Micke had not said anything. If I would not have cleaned now, we might never have found it. But he was really sorry in the cold, rainy forest so I could not be angry at him for long. He had not even noticed the note.

Messy me.

I don't know what's wrong with me, but nothing goes as planned anymore. I am always, at least used to be, very sharp, I don't forget, loose or mess-up things. This last week I have done it so many times.
It started with not having my passport with me and messing up everybody's Milan trip. Today I forgot my working shoes at home, so had to walk around in rubber boots at work for 8 hours, and I walk a lot as a waitres. I don't get my schoolstuff done and I am just a mess.

Is it the dark, rainy fall (it has still not snowed in Helsinki)? Or my flue? Or that I feel stressed? Or that I miss my poor husband to be?

He is out in the dark rainy woods with no toilet, no pillow, only a thin matress and a sleeping bag, a lot of responsability and only boys and guns and bears around him. Don't like the finnish army when they take him away from me for a week. I need my hugs and kisses.

Missy, missy.

I miss Micke. I want him to be here now.

I work tomorrow. On Wednesday I have to finish a term paper, don't feel like it at all. On Friday I have to know the topic of my bachelor tesis, have no clue. I break. I just want my Micke to be home. Have someone to sleep with, talk to, hug and kiss.

Great food in Milan

Tiramisu and desert table. After the food they came with the tray so how could you say now. The tiramisu was so, so great. Like air.


A lot of fish even if Milan is in northern Italy.

My fish.

Such a great starter. Octupus"ham", salad and artichokes. Mmmm

When you buy drinks in the evening you automatically get some snack with it.

A plate with different starters.

The best pizza ever. Only the dough and mozzarella in the owen and then later the parma ham was put on and also rucola and tomatos. So good.

Milan - not at all as planned

Wau. Have had such a surreal weekend, it has been incredible, both in a good and bad way.

The start of the Milan trip did not at all go as planned, since I did not have my pasport with me (seriously tought I could go to Italy with my drivers license - you can't, not with ryanair). So I could not get on the flight (we had been driving for 3 hours there). I take the car and start coming back home, really sad, talk to Micke and get the great idea to try to get another flight.
I drove back to Helsinki, 2 hours, and got a Finnair flight from Helsinki to Milan, so I was there 5 hours later than the others and a lot poorer. It was such a nightmare day, these things never happen to me.

Today when we got back everybody had to suffer since the car was not in Tampere, but in Helsinki, so we took buses and trains and ooohhhh. And we got up at 3.15 to get to the plane that left Milan 6.30. Deadtired.

But the trip was so worth the money, we had so much fun, have lauged as an idiot, eaten great food, drunk good wine, a lot, coffees and some shopping.

My travel companions: my mom, her friend and his wife. The friend, Risse, was like a clowny 5 year old kid. Very entertaining.


The weather was great: Sunshine, around 13 degrees, no rain. Just lovely. The cathedral is called Duomo and we climed up 150 stairs to get to the roof. The view was of course amazing, but I was so afraid of being so high up so did not enjoy it so much. Prefer the ground.
Shop til you drop, at least almost. Did not buy so much, but better that way. This is a lovely baby colored shirt and a new witnerfall jacket. Trying to prove that I look like a russian tourist with the fur (luckily you can remove it).

Dead in the train on the way back.

Milan tomorrow

Milan is the shopping heaven for designer clothes. If I was rich I would maybe buy some design stuff, but I am not, and I don't like putting money just on brands. So I will eat icecream, drink wine and eat mozzarella and just enjoy life. And off course, act as a guide to my mom.

I am cool...and calm.

I have started a new less stressful life. Every morning I write a list on what I should do, and then during the day I can draw a line over them, and when all of them are drawn over I can do whatever I want without feeling stressed.

Tomorrow I work and on Thursday I go home to mom and Pojo to cut my hair and on Friday we fly to Milan for 2 nights. I need wedding shoes, some sort of pin for my hair and underwear. Finding underwear that goes with my dress is not fun, since special underwear is expensive and I want to be comfortable.

Soon I get to send out the invitations. Yeah! It has been really hard to decide who to invite and now we are down to around 90 people, but that meant the all the persons we were not sure of, we decided not to invite. So it will be our oldest friends and family. My life in Helsinki is so messed up and I don't have really good new friends, but I know people and have had fun with them sometimes and I consider them my friends, but not great friends. So it was really difficult to decide if we invite them or not. I decided to keep it small, since I really do not want it big, I want to have fun with the people there.

The dogprincess Jigi

Here she is. I am feeding her, again. This time she started eating herself after I begged her to do it for 5 minutes. She is a big scary rottweiler, but can't eat herself. She is so not rottweiler as a rottweiler can be, the only rottweiler gene she has, is that she is stubborn, so so stubborn. Nothing else is rottwieler with her.

I would like to have a dog of our own, a rottweler, but days like these I so get why I don't want one yet. I want one some day I have a house where I just can open the door and let the dog out. I realised when I got out that it is a horrible storm out there. Nice. We got wet.

Big, big girl in a big, big world

I survived the shoolday and am now home do nothing. Will soon go for a walk with the dogprincess in the lovely, lovely weather. Later tonight me and Micke have a date. We are going to watch the new Bond. This is my last evening with him for a really, really long time. Two weeks. Too long. I love out evenings.

Had decided to eat healthily before Milan, but it might be hard with movie and popcorn and candy... This last week I have eaten badly, a lot of bad sugar and fat and uuuh. Feel very big.
