Oprah's wrong!
Mood:  sharp
Topic: Tv
I remember watching Oprah once and her saying that when you're in your 20s you care about everyone's opinion, but as you turn 40 and 50 all that changes and you just don't care anymore. That's completely wrong! Just watching my mum and her friends makes me wonder how the heck I'm gonna be when I get older. All they seem to do is talk about each other behin their backs, they ignore each other completely and change their personalities and likes and dislikes everytime they meet a new partner, and they constantly care about what everyone's gonna think if they leave the house without make-up etc.  I couldn't care less...even though I probably should...

Party!
Mood:  celebratory
Topic: Everyday life
Today was the day for my relatives to come over and get some food and coffee and stuff.  I was a lot smoother than it's been during the past year's celebrations. I tried to make the house look presentable and then went to the store. Some people couldn't make it so we all managed to sit in the same room, at the same table for once which was really nice. The sarnies was better than expected and I've gotten a great mix of gift certificates and personal stuff. I'm happy.

Old crushes

Went to the grocery store. The first one didn't have what I was looking so I went to the other one. Kinda in a hurry since I only had two hours to finish cleaning the house, shower and prepair the food. And of course, I think I see my old crush from school. Dirty and unshowered as I am, I hide behind a shelf and pull up my hoodie. Expecting him to be gone by then (he was about pay), but nooo, so I had to walk around the store aimless (probably looking like terrorist or something) until there at least was someone in line between him and I. Even though he doesn't know me and I haven't even seen him in ten years I just couldn't do it. Waited, waited and waited. When he'd finally left the store, of course there was a loooong line waiting for me.

We have such a sweet neighbour. She just stopped by with a cake because she stopped by on Wednesday and we told her we're guests over because it was my birthday so today she came by with the cake that she'd made her husband get for me.

New...thing?

Topic: Everyday life

My head hurts. Just as it has the past week. I really have to start taking better care of myself. And I'm gonna need your help. Please remind me to drink more water. If you see me eating sugary stuff or something like that, just hit me over the head! And if I'm trying to buy stuff not even I can justify why I need it, please make me return it! If this doesn't work we might have to figure out some kind of system including semi-mean punishments.

No. Going to the gym is not included. That'll be added in a later stage.

Left-overs
Mood:  happy
Topic: Good News
Made some food out of left over stuff (veggies) today. Fried some cauliflower, onion and mushrooms, and then I added some crushed tomatoes (with garlic), pizza spices, half a can of mixed beans, and mini corn. Boiled some bulgur with veggie stock. And finally added some brussel sprouts for colour.
