Wedding tomorrow!!

No, not my own! But one of my best friends or you can actually say that she's like my sister!

It's late, I've just finished my preparation. I will be singing at the reception. I will also be toast master and of course give a speech. Finally finished it now. There was this last part that was missing, but I think I got it now!

I have been on Holliday since Wednesday evening. Felt ok when leaving Basel. Got everything under control, I thought. Then Thursday came. My dear parents arrived. And in the evening we were all invited to the parents of the groom. It was lively! The snacks were lively, the food, the desert and the champagne! .., so I ate. A lot.
Then today came. We thought, why not start off the day with a proper English breakfast?! Yeh! Why not. So we ate. Then lunch came... And we ate a really small portion, so when the evening came I was so hungry that I ate a lot!!

Now the bride lives next door to me at the hotel for the night. I went to visit, they had some snacks. And I saw it as a really important task to eat most of the chocolate. You know, to help the others to stay away from it! ... So I've been eating to prepare for the wedding you could say. Eh... Not my smartest move. Feel fat.

Now I will try to get my beauty sleep and start a new day tomorrow :) it's gonna be great! And so much fun... And food.

Out running!! ... Or... Yeh

I'm out for a run! Feels really refreshing! ... Or, yeh.. Right now I'm walking. But I ran for a while. When it was going downhill it was really easy. And I ran past a couple of good looking guys so I sort of had a good speed! Good with music (read loud music) in my ears so that I can't hear how hard I'm breathing. Then you can also imagine that all the others around you don't notice either.

I have not been running for about 6 months. But running has a lot to do with willpower. But the problem is that after 15 min I just didn't have more willpower. Walked for a while and then ran again. Now it just have to be enough with walking. And maybe just run for the last bit so that my neighbours think good of me!

Today I've bought hiking boots. Pleas read again: HIKING boots. Yesterday I was all into buying orange pumps. Today I've ended up with HIKING boots. (Shoot, now people running the other direction is running passed me again!)

Stated to run again, realised that I was in a crowded area. Had to run for longer than I thought I would. Good, but the breathing was loud. And so many people that are sitting along the Rhein barbecuing, making me hungry!
Everywhere around the Rhein, little bars has popped up and I've seen more handsome guys during this run/walk than I've done during the whole time while living in Switzerland.

Half way home.

Shoes..shoes... And shoes

Ok, I have never seen myself as a person that is particularly much of a shoe person. Now I'm not sure anymore...
I've recently bought several pairs. With very high heals.. Golden, black, light pink, black and white and so on... Why? Oh... I always had a purpose for buying them!! But the problem might be that I only had ONE reason, or one event in mind. Now I have four relatively new pairs of pumps, and not so many occasions to where them to!! I mean, I am 1.74m tall. If you add on 5-7cm to that I become.. Well taller.., but to be honest; taller than everyone else!

You might think to yourselves; "she's crazy, this is not so bad!" And no, maybe not.. But I am seriously thinking of buying another pair! An expensive pair, even WITHOUT an occasion in mind of when to where them! (The orange pair from the pics)

What to do!!!! (And above all... When to ware them??)

Is it too much to ask to have hot water in the shower?!?

Ok, I know that I do shower a bit too long sometimes. But shouldn't that be ok? I mean, it's the 21st century!! The hot water shouldn't just disappear before I got the chans to wash the conditioner out of my hair. It was the second time it happened. And it was cold. But maybe something good came out of it?? I got some adrenalin from it which gave me the energy to finish the last of my presentations for tomorrow's meeting!

Today has been a good day (except from earlier mentioned adventure). I've spent the main part of the working hours in Zurich for a meeting. Met one of my colleagues for the first time, and that was really nice! After work it was time for German class. Hm.. Today we've been talking about traveling with airplane.... The correct sentence for "fasten your seat belt until the captain switch of the sign" is still not stuck in my brain. I know however that it's a long sentence with a lot of similar words like.. Abgeschnellten and angeschnallt und so weiter...
It's a mystery how people actually learn all this... I'm totally useless when it comes to der, die and das and how to bend them.


Well, someday I might look back and laugh about this, and speak in German to whoever that would like to listen!

Once upon a time

I've been obsessed with the "once upon a time" series.... Or you can say that I still am. It's just that there are no more episodes out there for the time being. At least not any public ones. This is a bit sad, like being separated from a dear friend... And at the same time a relief! I have not been able to go to bed in time because of that I just had to watch another episode (nice to be able to blame something for my going-to-bed-too-late-waking-up-tired behaviour) it's also a thing which have kept me from activating myself. I just had to get home to watch another episode no matter what!

Ok, now it's over! Now maybe I can concentrate on doing my German homework (who am I kidding...)

I'm hopefully getting a bit more organised now. Today I have realised that I'm a bit late when it comes to booking my flights back and forth to Sweden. Hoping that my ability to plan will soon come back to me. Cause the closer to the actual travel date you are booking the flight the more expensive it gets.

Well, right now I'm into planning for midsummer. Do I want to be in Sweden by then? Yes.. Would I like to travel back and forth two weekends in a row? ... Hm. Why not? I have to make some plans. And now when I do not have my series my brain might not be blocked anymore from taking actions!! :)

...

We'll see!
