BYE BYE 2007
Once again, that bloody new years eve has come around *growl* I hate it as much
this year that I have the years before. I'm trying very hard to get exited about
tonight though, for Tonys sake. We're having dinner and a party at his best
friends house, and as Tony says - it's just like any other party, just with
nicer clothes and more food! Anyway, I'm hoping that this can be a good new
year-celebration for once, then maybe I can stop hating it.
Keeping up with "tradition", here's a short summary of what's happened
this year: most importantly, Tony and I became a couple <3 After knowing
eachother for eight years, always having a spark between us, it finally got
to this. I fought my feelings as hard as I could, but had to give in to them
in the end - and I haven't regretted it a second at all :) Right before this,
I agreed to take over Dansi from Christer. It didn't take many minutes before
I fell in love with her :) We had some issues when Tony and I moved in together
in september, but now we're a big happy family with three pets :) A new home,
a new car and a new job was three big changes. Beeing headhunted was fun, and
I haven't regretted my acception yet. I also got to go to Cuba this year! It
was a great experience and really one of the highlights throughout the year.
If you ever get a chance to go to Cuba - do it! I highly recommend it. I got
to see Pablo Fransisco live, I got bitten in the leg by a very drunk and now
clean polish fucker and we had three fuckers who tried to break into
our house (not sucessful thankfully). I guess that's the main events of the
year. It's been a good year, and a year I've been happier then I've ever been
before!
Come new years, I have some resolutions as well. First of all: stop smoking.
I have a big plan for the entire ad-department at work to be smoke-free by January
15th, and I'm hoping they're joining up with me on that. Would be nice to be
rid of this damn habit. I'm also gonna get into shape, eat healthier and lose
weight.. and that's the one I'm really hoping I'll manage! I also have
a serious plan to get some pictures of Tony and me together, 'cause that's more
or less non-existing. All we have is two pictures on our cellphones and that's
not good enough. And last, but definetly not least, I'm gonna try my best to
become a better friend. I'm a very anti-social person and I don't think it's
fair that my friends need to always contact me. I'm gonna try to take more initiative
and take better care of them. Realistic goals, or completely over my head? It
remains to be seen.
Now I have to get my ass moving. Four hours 'til dinner, and I need to get to
my mum and my dad to with them happy new year, hit the shower and get ready.
I'm wearing a dress tonight. I'm dreading it ;p
I hope you all have a nice celebration, and from me to you: HAPPY NEW
YEAR!

BYE BYE CHRISTMAS
I'm not sure if christmas was ever really here, 'cause that good ol' christmas-feeling
never came around this year. I'm getting more and more sure that I've gotten
to old to get that feeling, but I don't think I'm ever gonna stop trying to
acchieve it ;) Anyways, I felt the need to change the layout - so I did. Rion
Vernons Pin-Up Toons
once again - you gotta love 'em! :) I had a blast making this one as well. Maybe
not a professional thing, but I'm pleased with it anyway. I hope you like it
:)
Allthough I've had a lack of christmas-spirit, it's really been a good one (christmas
that is)! The cherry on top was the fact that I got to spend christmaseve with
my mum, my step-dad and my dad! Tony even came by at the end
of the night and made it all even better. This really was the best christmaseve
ever.
I've gotten completely hooked on Jeff
Dunham! He cracks me up, and I can highly recommend taking a peek at him
:)
God how I miss my chiropractor! Everything screwed up again on the 25th - a
bad neck, back and shoulders makes one heck of an headacke! It's not very comfortable
either, 'cause it kinda feels like there's not enough room for my body. I'm
not in a mood to, nor have I the energy to do much, I'm grumpy and I get a bit
"closed up". I'm getting more and more afraid that I'll push Tony
away by this. He seriously doesn't deserve to put up with it, and I wish I at
least could spare him all those snappy comments I manage to blurt out. He makes
me happier then I've ever been, and this is how I thank him? It bugs the crap
out of me!! All I want to do is make him happy, not make him
walk around on eggshells or make him sad..
I have way to much stuff in my head today.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
It's christmas, but it still doesn't really feel like it. We've got the house
all decorated, Tony and I have exchanged gifts and we've watched christmas-shows
on TV all day, but - to be honest - it feels more or less like any other day.
It seems it gets harder and harder the older I get to get into the christmas-spirit.
But I'm still making the best of it ;p
Tony gave me a beautiful ring in white gold for christmas! It's a tad to big,
but a trip to the jewlery-shop will hopefully get that fixed. Makes me a bit
afraid to use it though, 'cause I don't want to lose it.
Anyways, I hope everyone of you has a lovely christmas! I need to start getting
ready soon, so MERRY CHRISTMAS!

DONE RIGHT OR DONE WRONG?
A few thoughts hit me earlier that made me realize that renting out my appartment
might now have been the wisest decision. Financially it it, 'cause the rent
I get pays off my morgage and rent to the co-op. Regarding the fact that most
of the things I own now are stored in a place I'm not even around, and that
I can't just sell the appartment without evicting my tendant, I'm not so sure.
Or maybe I'm just overthinking. Again.
Speaking of thinking: each christmas, I can't help thinking that there's better
things we could do with all the money we spend. How many more or less "useless"
gifts do you get each year? Thing you don't need, don't use and probably never
will. I do it to, everytime I get stuck on a present and end up just buying
something 'cause I can't think of anything better. If everyone gave this money
away to those who actually need it, can you imagine what good it would do? How
many families that could have a nice christmas-dinner - or a christmas-celebration
at all? It's just a thought.

PRE-CHRISTMAS JOY
Today my mum, step-dad, Tony and I made gingerbread-cookies - my all time favorite
pre-christmas thing to do! Bing Crosby's "White Christmas"-cd on the
stereo, the smell of fresh cookies.. mm.. doesn't get much better :) It was
really fun to watch Tony and my step-dad building their gingerbread-houses as
well. And I have to admit that Tony really impressed me with how he decorated
his ;)
With this "event", snow this morning and a spankin' new christmas-layout,
I'm really starting to get into the christmas-spirit :)
My mum gave me my birthdaypresent today as well. One big santaclaus
(it's damn cute!) and a gift-certificate to a spa! I can't wait :) I'm not really
sure what treatment to get though. I've been wanting a facial, but a massage
or some kind of treatment for the rest of my body would be really good as well.
It's a gift I really, really appriciated!

FUCKING SYSTEM
Tony called me at work today: "The cops just called me, they think someone's
in our house! You need to get home now!". On my way home,
the police calls me and tell me the same - they think someone's inside our house.
Luckily, thanks to the neighbour who called the police, it wasn't that bad.
They never got into the main house, just a small house in the drive-way we use
for storage. Two where caught outside the house, and one got away but got caught
shortly after I got to the house. Thank god for noisy neighbours.
The fucked up thing about it all, is that the two who were caught first - who
the neighbour saw was a part of it all - got to go, 'cause they couldn't prove
that they weren't in the wrong place at the wrong time. How fucked up is that?!
There's something seriously wrong with this system..
It got me thinking though. Prison isn't scary for criminals. So what if you
go to jail for a month or two? You get free food, a small salary, things to
do (like watching TV).. so what's the down side? Ok, you're not free, but I
seriously don't think they care. I kinda wish that there was some kind of punishment
in the system that really scared them off.. not that I'm pro torture or anything,
but there's gotta be something more then jailtime.
