Namesday




Aren't the scarves
the same?











Today is the second day of this new year 2010 and it's actually my namesday, Svea.
I was named after my maternal grandmother who I never met since she died when my Mom was only 7 years old. My grandmother had a heartcondition which in those days couldn't be operated so at only 32 years she died. If it had been today she would have lived a full and long life.
Anyway when I was little I was so ashamed of that name because it wasn't "in" or "hip" so I never told anyone my full name. It was bad enough to be christened Marie-Christine. I mean noone ever could remember that name. I was called Ann-Kristin, Marie-Louise, Loppan, Kristina and lots more. So eventually I started calling myself Mia and so did all my friends. When it was possible I took the name Mia officially so today my complete name is Mia Svea Marie-Christine. Something I'm very proud of today. It's not many people that has these names. And I'm proud that I was given my grandmother's name. That's why I celebrate my names, they mean something.

Another thing that was rather funny was today when I read my sister Jo's Facebook there was a photo of her from SLC and,she was stunning on the photo, she was wearing a scarf, a red scarf and I looked once and I looked twice because I have exactly the same :-) (at least judging from the photo) but I wear mine differently. You'll be the judges, the photos here on top. The only thing is that mine looks darker but it could be because I'm in the shadow.

Have a good day. Tomorrow Jonas, Mandy and Sofie are coming over for "linner" (lunch/dinner)
Looking forward to that.
Remember that today is the first day of the rest of your life!

Recap of the week

This week meant a lot to do and I'm afraid I haven't taken the time to write here :-( But here's a recap of what has happened. Monday and Tuesday not very much but I was so, so tired and my joints does not like this weather at all. I have so much pain especially in my hands and fingers which makes it hard even to write here.  On Wednesday I went to Norrtälje to my good friend Anne for some treatment, which was very much needed, lots of chat and also a very good lunch. It's always a pleasure to see her and we have so much to talk about all the time. A true friend who I'm so grateful of having. Next day it was time for work and after that directly to the working committe in the Rheumatic association. Afterwards also meeting in the foundation, where we grant money to people who have applied, and fulfill the rules of the statues. When driving home again at night, it's so dark now and I hate driving in the dark, there was an accident with a big truck a...
