HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011!!!

Only a few hours left of 2010. What happened this year? Time to look back and ponder.

January: I was really out of work for the first time in my life and had to report to the employment office. Not fun.I did have some fun though. Dinners with good friends and family and a wonderful brunch at Långbro Inn with friends as well as a performance by H.E.A.T at Honda Center here in Väsby.

February: Meeting with my workcoach, applying for several jobs, visiting my friend in Norrtälje, again dinners with family and friends. Danniel, Bianca and Klaras birthdays celebrated of course. Annual meeting with Rheumatic association.

March: I went on an education at Bommersvik in Sormland to become leader for circles. I continued to apply for jobs. I celebrated a friend that turned 80. We had wafles on wafleday at our friends house.

April: Mom turned 86 and we, my sis Helen and I,  treated her to lunch at a wonderful restaurant by the lake Malaren. Lots of birthdays in April including my hubby, Jonas and more. Went to Sweden Rock cruise and listened to my favouriteband H.E.A.T. Went to the opera and saw the marriage of Figaro. Went to an interview with Respons on April 19. Marvin turned 70 and I wasn't able to be there :-(.  I went to an interview at the Cathedral of Uppsala.

May: Went to Malmo for education in economy program. At the same time I met my Mom's cousin for the first time since I was a little child. Very nice!! We, the Rheumatic assocation was part of a fair in Väsby where we had a chance to tell people about our association. I was called back for another interview at Respons and I was made an offer of employment which I gladly accepted!!! I was totally happy :-)
H.E.A.T played live at Swedish Radio and I was there of course. Whitsun-weekend we spent in Söderbärke with good friends in their wonderful house by the lake Östra Sveten. So very beautiful and wonderful people. We really had a good time.
I started with Respons and one of the first days we had this 5-years birthdayparty for our customers. Like a tivoli and with good food. Very nice beginning to my work.

June: Mandy, Jona's girlfriend, graduated. Hasse and me celebrated our silveranniversary. Can you believe it? 25 years! Where did they go? Also our grandchild Malin graduated in Gavle. Me and Helen took Mom to Midsummer's lunch at the same place where we celebrated her birthday. My cousin Rolf dies of ALS.

July: Summerdinner with my job. Vacation  to Scania and Denmark. We finally got there after wanting to go for 20 years. Helsingborg, Copenhagen and Malmo in wonderful hot weather. We also went on a small cruise to Abo with M/S Galaxy and July 27 I saw H.E.A.T playing at Grona Lund for the last time with Kenny as a singer.

August: Went to a party at Barnvik, Varmdo hosted by the one who had my job before me, now retired.

September: Nothing special, just my birthday which I of course celebrated.

October: Went to We will rock you, the musical, at Cirkus Stockholm. Linnea came home for a couple of days before going to her next destination (she's a guide with Ving) so we went to Gavle to see her and have family dinner. I also went to Malmo for a weekend where I treated my Mom's cousin to Spamalot - the musical. So funny. I stayed at Savoy, of course, and had a corner suite. I just love them!!!
The last thing I did in October was going to Firefest in Nottingham with my sister Helen. We wanted to see H.E.A.T with their new singer, Erik Gronwall (who won Idol) and I also wanted to see Jonas play with Jimi Jamison. Great, great shows both of them and so much fun together with the guys and their girlfriends.

November: Chairmen conference a whole weekend. Lots of work and lots of fun. The 1st Advent I had the whole H.E.A.T family over for glogg, gingerbreadcookies, coffe and safronbuns. It was a way to introduce Erik G and his family to all the others. Very very nice.!

December: Christmas parties of course. First the Rheumatic association. Then I had a lovely dinner with my friend Carina before going to the Opera. She's my Opera-friend and we try to go at least once a month.
Then of course we had Christmas party with my work at Cajsa Warg where we cooked our own dinner. Great fun and since we have that as a common interest we loved it.

And now it's New Year's Eve. Only hours now before 2011 is here. I know I will go to LA in April which will be so fun. Can't wait. It has been so long since I last saw everyone. Otherwise the new year is like a newborn baby. We have to wait and see how it will be.

To everyone who has read this far A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011. And may all your dreams come true.

WOW!!! I just have to say Wow!

Why do you ask? I just got a mail telling me that I have won a romantic trip to Paris for 2! I enrolled in this competition, last year, which was to write a slogan and I had forgot all about it when the mail came. I didn't remember it even then so I had to go to the site and see what it was :-) I'm so happy! and so is Hasse :-) We had a great Easter which started with a wonderful ballet, Giselle, at the Royal Opera with my friend Carina. We are going again tomorrow to see Puccinis Turandot :-) The next day Easter Day we went to Gavle and this time we actually stayed at a hotel, Elite Grand hotel. A newly opened hotel, March 1, where we had the executive suite. What a suite! I have to show you some photos. One of the best suites I've ever stayed in!   The suite taken from the "living-room area"  From the "cosy" area with wood burning stove   Our "little" bathroom with green marble Part of the bedroom What do yo...

Christmas gift

For Christmas I got a giftcard to Amazon.com from my sister Jo. It was a real treat to go to the site, explore and find something to buy. There are so many things there and it's hard to choose. For me, leaving in Sweden, it's a bit easier. I just cross the square that says "ships to Sweden" and I get all the things I can order. My choice was Bliss socks and a big bottle of Dermalogica body cream. They came today and I'm so happy. So once again a big thank you big sis for the generous gift.  

BIRTHDAY, H.E.A.T, E.R and more...

Some of the wonderful flowers I got And some more Last week didn't start out well. On Monday I woke up and could hardly walk. I had such pain every step I tried to take. But off to work anyway. Tuesday even worse so I went to the doctor's office and asked to borrow crutches. Wednesday at work jumping on crutches, that must have been a sight ;-) But when I came home from work Wednesday I had fever so I went to bed quite early but didn't sleep well because of the constant pain. Thursday morning I woke up and had fever so I called the hospital and they said I had to go to the E.R. I hate that and if I can I always try to avoid it. But I was in so much pain I had to. I came and after a while they took bloodtests, urine and then I sat in a kind of smallish room. After being there for about 3 hours a doctor came and said I probably should see and orthopedic and not a medicine doctor. After one more hour another doctor came and said my bloodtest showed I had an i...
