Happy New Year!

This has been a year where it happened a lot in my life.

I sold my apartment, bought a house and got engaged! I also fought my first kickboxing fight in 5 years, started with Roller Derby and broke my arm.

I feel very happy and know that my life is getting on in the right direction. I have some small issues to handle during 2011 but I really think that it will be a great year.

Of course it's a great year, it's the year for my wedding!

I would like to thank my friends and family for making my life so great and the biggest thanks to Max who is there for me always and ever!

And thanks to all of you reading my blog and with your comments makes me smile and laugh sometimes.

Now I'm heading out to the kitchen to prepare the dinner, the dessert and the drinks.

I hope you all will have a lovely evening and a splendid 2011!

I hope it will be just as fun as this one. This is Linda (Miss Honkytonk) and me at a concert in March.

Just because it's such a happy picture it symbolizes 2010 for me.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Sorry..

..I'm a little bit absent right now. But it's happening a whole lot in the house! I will update you with a look at my christmas gifts and the progress in the house soon. Promise!!

Merry Christmas!!

God Jul, Glaedelig Jul, Feliz Navidad, Frohe Weihnachten, Wesołych Świąt!
I hope you all get a wonderful day and a splendid evening! And to those of you celebrating tomorrow I wish the same!

We're waiting for the first visitors right now and then we're celebrate all day long. Santa has already been here with a pair of cute knickers in my sock. Good start, I wonder what he brings me tonight??

Driving home for Christmas..

We're finally home. We came home yesterday after 6 hours driving. A trip that normally takes 3 hours. Anyway, we're here now and it's snowing a lot! This is a picture of my parents house and it's even more snow now.
We've bought the last gifts today and tonight we're going to spend the evening by the fire with some games and candy.
Hope you get a lovely night!

I'm free!

My hand isn't in a package anymore! Yey! I'm so happy that everything went well so I got rid of it. Now I don't need anything around the hand but it hurts a lot now in the beginning so they advised me to have this bandage on for a few days.

I can't start boxing or roller derby until four weeks or until I can do a proper push up. But I will try to do the exercises I've got very often so maybe I can start in three weeks.

Weddingdress

It's really really hard. Ok, I haven't been out trying yet but I don't like anything that I find on the internet. I don't think I want a long dress but I don't think the full circle skirt in those 50's tea length dresses flatter my body. This is my inspiration right now, I think it's fabulous.

Maybe we can make it??

Four days to christmas..

..and we did so much in the house this week and weekend. I spent most of the time painting, I like that and it's getting so pretty. We even started in the living room now with the roof and all the white.

Last night Vera called and invited us for home made pizza. It was just so lovely, after all that work, to be served food like that, and in good company as well.

Tonight we went and bought a stove which is getting delivered right after christmas. We fell for this one. Also from Smeg.

I hope you had a really great weekend.

I want back!!

I'm soooo tired of my f'**king hand right now. Not just that I want to be able to do things in the house, I also want to start my muay thai and my roller derby again!! And most of all I want to pass the minimum skills test in roller derby in late january, otherwise I can't participate in any scrimmage or bouts.

Please Santa - let my hand be healed correctly and well!

Cold as ice!

We did a u-turn about the kitchen today. Haha two step forward and one step back. We'd planned to buy a little bit cheaper fridge and stove for now and redo the kitchen in five years or so. But today we rethought that again.

We want what we want and why wait?

So today we threw out a cupboard, moved another to make room for the new fridge. We also need to grind and paint some surfaces again but we will do anything for this lovely Smeg we ordered now.

Isn't it pretty??

With a little help from my friends

Pleease help me out here! We're now ahead of our plan with the kitchen and we haven't decided wallpaper yet. We've come so far that we know that we want yellow, yes we love yellow, but we can't decide which one. First we wanted Rut from Sandberg but that didn't come in yellow unfortunatly. Now we're choosing between this two. The first is Stephen from Sandberg and Pepita from Happy. What do you think?

Stephen
Pepita

Just 6 days left!!

Then my arm is free again! Yey! Ok, I'm not that happy because I probably have to wait another four weeks before I can start my muay thai again and I will have trouble moving my hand for a few weeks as well. Anyway, I'm glad that I can see an end to it now. It actually start to smell a little now. Yack!

Sneaky peak

Maybe this will be the wallpaper in the dining room. From Pip Collection, Ealy bird.
Wouldn't it be perfect with our big teak dining table?

Hours and hours

We done a lot today!! I mean, really much. We had help from Rasmus and Ulrika the whole day and all of us four has been working between 9.30 and 17.00. The kitchen is now all done for painting and all the grinding in both the kitchen and the living room is done! They spared us a whole day.

Now it's time for some pizza and wine and maybe some fun game or so.

Rasmus and Ulrika grinding cupboards

This pictures is in between pics, the next pics will be when it's almost done. All the paint anyway!

1..2..3..SOLD

Yey! We finally sold our apartment! After 14 shows and no bids it just boomed. We got much more for it than we expected. Feels great now with the house and so, I have a feeling that it will cost a little.. Hehe!

Curious??

This friday it's Max's turn to go to the annual christmas party at his work and I'm at home. Think I will watch a movie or something now because I'm exhausted after, finding, buying and wrapping all our christmas gifts. It's not the easiest thing to do with only one arm!

Pretty pretty

If you're looking for cute but plain dresses, this site is the place! I found The pretty dress company when I was looking for wedding dresses, I don't know why because they're not wedding material at all. But I love the fact that you can get yourself a plain dress in a really good looking model.

Don't look at the girls, the dresses will be fabulous with the right styling!

Daily outfit

I bougth this faboulus pair of pants yesterday. Oh no! I'm going to the dark side. Haha.
Anyway, I really needed them now when we are working in the house everyday.

We were at Bauhaus, shopping a lot and also found this tap for a price that just was a tenth of the other. And I think it's really cute. Strike a pose

The tap, brilliant

Now I'm on my way to Aarhus for the second Christmas celebration already. A whole lot of food. Oh my! I generally don't eat very much of Christmas food, swedish or danish, because it's just loads of meet and I don't eat that. But at the place we're going to today they use to make special fish to me and it's always splendid!

Writings on the wall

OMG! I'm soo tired! I've been out partying two nights in a row now and working in the house on the days. Today we did a lot. Kitte and Vera was visiting and Kitte helped Max to carry out the ugly brown stove and refrigerator. After some coffee with them, we really came in to working mode.

Max has gotten all the bricks showing now and I have torn down all the old wallpapers and thrown the old laminate countertop away.

Now we're just relaxing in the sofa, looking at taps on the internet.

What do you think about this one?

Grumpy

I was at the annual christmas party at work yesterday. We had a lot of fun but missed the train we were supposed to take home so I weren't home until 4 o' clock. Believe me if I say that I was tired this morning. On top of that my arm ached like crazy and all I wanted to do was to start renovate our kitchen!

Anyway, Max went to the house and started in the kitchen and then he came and picked me up a few hours later. When we I arrived I was still grumpy but we drank some coffee and enjoyed the atmosphere. Then we started to take down the tiles on the kitchen wall. I actually could help!

Yey! With just my left hand and a screwdriver I did the whole corner by myself. I must be she hulk or something!

So now the kitchen looks almost as it does in this pictures but we did do a little bit more so it's almost just bricks now. A good day, where we did a little bit more than we thought that we could.

My corner!

Max looking happy, smashing down the concrete.

Now we're drinking a little champagne to celebrate our house buying and then we're of to Hepcat's X-mas Bash in Lund.

Kitch in the kitchen

We've got the keys to our house today! Lovely! We even met some neighbors that wished us welcome!
We are so happy to get it and now it's finally ours. We're going to renovate the whole house but we're going to start with the kitchen. This is how it looks now and I will show you the progress during the time. Sorry for the dark pictures, I will bring my real camera next time!

More cupboards and fridge, the opening to the livingroom

Christmas time

I had quite a lot trouble with my plaster. It twisted and turned and wouldn't sit in the right place. So today I went back to the hospital and they switched it for me. It's now red and in glass fiber instead. It also just lay on top of the arm because my injury is so "clean" and I'm so strong because of all training so it will be removed already the 21th of December. (It doesn't feel "already" but apparently it is!)

So here is the new christmas plaster and todays outfit. It was freaking cold today so I followed the rule with layers. I didn't freeze to death at least.

Skinhead moonstomp

I've finally done it! I figured that I wouldn't survive a winter more slipping around in the snow in ballerinas and high heels. Especially not now with my broken arm!
So I bought a pair of boots at Shock today.
14 holes Dr Martens makes my feet look small and cute actually and walk in them feels like walking on air compared to what I'm used to. Feels like I'm going back to my teens but what the heck, I like it!

I'm a woman hear me roar!

I got an awful sterile bandage around my arm. Not enough with the boring white plaster, they put white gauze bandage around it and on top of that skin colored tape. Oh my, I can't live with that!
I've pimped it now, with a pair of leopard stockings. Hehe, sometimes a girl just have to have a little bit fun!

Now it's time for moving in party at Ulrika and Rasmus'. I hope I can cope with both plaster, painkillers, a lot of snow and some wine. I probably do!! Have a nice evening!

Dear Santa..

When moving in to our new house is coming closer I would really like this lamp! I want it in my window in the dining room. I love Verner Panton's flower pot in all different styles. This is the VP3 and it would go extremely well with our sideboard and dining table in teak. Please?

I'm broken

I broke my arm yesterday. My right arm has got a clean cut, both bones broken. NOT FUN!!
I spet 5 hours at the ER yesterday with no painkillers at all and when I finally got home I was exhausted, I am that now as well, but I can't sleep. The accident happened when I did a round kick in thaiboxing and slipped. I fell on my hand and heard a crack!
Anyway, I've been to work all day and I hope I can sleep now so that I can handle friday too. THen I probably will relax all weekend. Boooring!

The master!

Look what we got from my parents as a moving in gift! A Moccamaster Clubline. It's just so nice! THANKS!!
We never had a coffeemaker before and this one should be the master! We got it a little bit early so we haven't unpacked it yet but when our kitchen is ready it will fill it's place beautifully.
Does anyone have one like this? How is it like?



And not to forget! Today is my mothers birthday! Congratulations mum! I LOVE YOU!

Dear Santa..

This knitted shirt isn't an ordinary shirt. It's a shirt from heaven! If you give it to me sweet Santa, I will love you forever!
It's from Tiger of Sweden and it's name is Paige.

Sweeties!

I left half of my team to another teamleader yesterday. It had simply grown out of my hands and you can't be a good boss for about 40 people at the same time. Anyway, even though I'm going to sit right next to them I'm going to miss all my boys. Always happy and sweet! And I think they going to miss me too because yesterday they bought me flowers and a whole bag with gifts! There was perfume, body butter, shower gel and some make up. Soo cute! Big thanks to all of you if you read this!! I sure will miss you!

Dear Santa..

..I would also like this cute vest for christmas! It's from Acne.

OMG, this autumn has gone by all too fast. I don't know where the time has flown. Next weekend is first advent an I'm going to fetch my stars and lights from the cellar in the beginning of this week. It's just 5 weeks to christmas. And I'm going to be off work for 11 days. Yey!

Roses..

I'm looking for a wallpaper to the kitchen right now and I have a hard time to make the decision. Of course things will more easily settle when we actually are in the house but you can't blame a girl for having plans can you?
Remember the floor I showed you? I'm thinking the floor combined with light turquoise cupboards and this dotted wallpaper with roses? I think it will look really good! The wallpaper is from Midbec, collection Belle Rose.
I wonder if they make it with roses in yellow?

It's snowing!

The first snow! But it won't even stay on the ground for a second..

Dear Santa..

This year I would like a big, war, red, knitted sweater. Why not this beautiful one from Whyred? I wear size M.


Santa, you can now find all my wishes in the left hand menu, read under Dear Santa. =)

I wouldn't miss it for the world..

This saturday will be the day when Crime City Rollers is releasing their logo! We are doing it with style and holding a big party at Bodoni in Malmoe!
Be there! Or be square!!

Not my day...

..today. Feeling a little bit low for some reason. Think I'm going to bed now and hope for a better tomorrow. G'night!

Winter pretty

My mum did this cute winter decoration for me. I love holly and I definitely think that you can use it already in november.
It hangs in my kitchen window now but I'm thinking about moving it to the door? Have you started with some decorations yet?

One of the rings..

We've been in Karlskrona this weekend to meet some friends and celebrate my grandmothers birthday. We also got to celebrate fathers day a little - Congrats again Dad! - and look at rings at a jewelry store that we got recommended. We bought our engagement rings yesterday and we are in discussions of the wedding ring now.
This is my engagement ring. It's very tiny and almost all round. I just love it! I think it fits my hand and with the planned wedding ring it will be really fab. The wedding ring will be quite simple with a rather big stone.

Max's engagement ring is much heavier, 7 mm broad and 2,1 mm high, but it's also rounded. We're super satisfied and now the engagement feels for real. We just have to get used to wear them..

Rock hard!

Yesterday at my thaiboxing class I did all the exercises with a guy much bigger than me. When I'd finished my exercises he gasped for air and said: Damn! You're rock hard! You fight harder than many guys here!

Yey!! That's a compliment that I like! I want to be really hard and tough when I'm fighting. In those situations I don't like to be girly girly and someone the guys won't hit. I'm so in a flow right now!!

Toptoptoptop

Ugh, I got cravings for lots of things from TOPSHOP. I hope I manage to get there in a near future and that I find those things I found on the internet... These as an example, aren't they lovely??

I've got mail!!

I got a mail today! A real handwritten mail with a cd in it. It was a cute letter from Louise who runs the blog Devil Doll that wished me all luck with the new house and the engagement to Max. And the cd was the movie Brutal Beauty, the roller derby movie you know! Thank you so much Devil Doll!! You've got me so happy!

MFF

Swedish champions 2010!! Crazy celebration yesterday.. Wiiihaa!

Moonwalk

We've found a floor to the kitchen in the house. It's called Forbo Novilon Piso and comes in many colors. We've chose the gray/white one and we'll probably paint the cupboards light turquoise. Pastel is the theme an hopefully it will turn out great! I can't wait until we get the keys!

Some wedding inspiration

Look at this pic! The car, the shoes, the flowers, the dress! Fantastic..
You know I'm going for a 50's wedding don't you?

Irritating..

I can't blog by my phone.. I don't know why, it just don't work. Blah!

Sons of anarchy

Aah, after three hours of roller derby i'm well earned to this julmust and some episodes of sons of anarchy. Very good show, watch it if you haven't!

This is Halloween

This halloween won't be so much partying for me. I'm too tired after this stressful autumn and after the surprise party for Max last saturday. Last year we had the superhero party and it sure was fun, but I don't have the energy now. I'm going to be at home, maybe eat some sushi and watch a movie. But to get in the mood and for you who's going to a party, here's a really good halloween song!

Rings..

Oh my, everything has just been a little bit overwhelming this week. I can't really understand that we're getting married! This weekend we will be looking for rings. In Sweden you switch rings at the engagement and then the bride (me!) get another ring at the wedding. I want a retro style wedding ring, maybe with a pearl. The engagement rings are harder because they should suit us both. We've said that we're going to try these ones out. They're thin and delicate, all round. I like the way they're are plain but not boring. I

will go for the yellow golden shiny ring. I don't look good in white gold and I don't like the surface on the third choice.

Oh, by the way! You have to get used to the wedding posts now! Anything you think would be cool, suit me or any idea is welcome, please write a comment!

What a weekend!

So many things happended! We had a surprise party for Max's 30th birthday and he chocked us all with going down on his knees and ask me THE question! So now we are engaged!

I love you!!

I love Malmö

Scary things is going on in Malmoe! People is being shot of some ludicrous that's hiding in the bushes. Sydsvenskan has done a cause about it now and I want all to support it! At least you that lives in lovely Malmoe! This is my pic that shows that I love my city and take action against "the darkness"!

Tired..

I'm soo tired. I've been working so much this week that I missed all my work out. Both my thaiboxing and roller derby. It makes me sad, and tired. I really hope that my worst part at work is over now so I get a little more time to concentrate on what I want to do in my spare time as well. Soon we're moving to our house and I want to spend time working that out also.

Much to do but when it's fun i works. I just need to find the fun again!

Tote!

We were visiting Hepcat store today and I found this lovely bag! It was only 10 euros and I think it's perfect to wear with sneakers when cute handbags doesn't work. I love the golden print and the meaning Good times/Bad times. It's just me!
