...and the sun is shining. Lots of things to do. Why do they need to sleep all the time? Every day even. I read about people who haven't slept in weeks, or just do what I do; sleep while doing something else ;)

Last night

Saw a (cuter) version of Emile Hirsch on the tram, and instantly knew that it must be a good sign. And it was. Went to the casino and sat out in the sun, sipping on a Strawberry...slush :D When the band then started to play a John Mayer-cover I just couldn't stop smiling. Did the quiz-thing, congrats Jen...haha...the band continued to play Oasis and Jason Mraz...and not a single CCR-song :) ...and the sun was shining and everything was really nice... Finally it was time to leave though, and we went to the nightclub-ish thing. He seems to a really nice guy, but a good DJ he's not. Sorry P! Lots of...different people there...and the big R of course ;)

My dear girls

...apparently someone got shot here last night...again...while we were getting crisps...that's what you get for living in the ghetto I guess ;)

Staying in

We didn't have time to go into town today, so we've stayed in, played some cards, went to the store and got some food...and drinks...ate the food, drank the drinks. Now we're going out...

Woke up by a text at 6 am yesterday (ever thought about sleeping at night M? ;) ) and then had to fight my stomach all morning. Also realised that the necklace that I just bought and loved wasn't what I thought it was. Dammit! Shoved some stuff in the suitecase and ran for the earlier bus. When I got to the bus stop I realised that I'd forgotten the phone charger. Rang in and asked for it, but of course the stupid bus was early, for once, and I had to stall the grumpy bus driver...but I finally got it....and it can only get better from here ;) Had to wait for the train for over an hour and met some co-workers while waiting, some who didn't want to say hi and some who came up to me and started talking...before I realised who they were...as usual ;) The rest of the trip went well but my friends had had a change of heart when I arrived and with the help of coffee and food they bribed me into staying in and playing cards instead. It's probably all for the best anyway, gotta save some energy for the weekend!

My shoe. Bored on the bus.

For the first time in a week, I didn't have to go and powder my nose when I woke up. Of course. Despite drinking wine and coffee last night.

Watched DOOL for the first time in months, and yes, she's not pretty. Went into the shopping center and returned the necklace, even though I wasn't really allowed to (thanks nice girl in the shop). Accidentally bought some clothes, not what I was supposed to buy, and then had a quick lunch. Met M and had a quick dinner before meeting the other girls. Met up with my friends F. Went, and stood in the crowd, listened to a couple of songs before leaving. Went to a bar (you'd love it, L!) and a burger place before NOT going to check out the cutie ;) ...and instead headed home to play cards.

Nice wine

Jenny being...scary...

It started to feel a bit just before midnight. UpanddooownUuupanddown. Stupid waves! Nauseous and sleepy at the same time. Great! Tried to stay awake until we got into the harbor but I realised that I was sitting at the table with the eyes resting looonger and loonger so I finally gave in and went to bed. 

Time for breakfast!

 

Day 2
Mood:  a-ok
Topic: On tour

We got a brother and a sister from Stockholm (in their 60s...I think they said) at our table for breakfast. She was a bit hung over so we had some fun with her, and she told me to get my tooth removed. I had some problems getting the food into my mouth so I kinda had to explain why. Then we headed for the Taxfree-shop, and of course the stupid boat had to start going upanddown again...but that's probably a good thing because it made me not want to buy a lot of those things that usually make you feel like everything's going upanddown ;) ...still got my beloved perfume though...  Then we tried to gather all our new things into my moving(size)-travelling bag that she insisted on bringing and headed for the music quiz (with only two actual music questions...I failed one) with my friend L's bf in a pink boa and my other friend's future husband. Considered lunch and ended up having a baked potatoe instead of the veggie steak in the restaurant. Stupid teeth...still! Played on the slot machines (I'm soo cheap...I could have wun a lot more!!) Then off to the afternoon dance (for mum's sake not mine) and suddenly we were on the bus home again.

Bye Stockholm. Bye civilisation.  

 

On our way

The thing with old people is that they seem to live for coffee even more than we live for our lattes.  Even though it's a two (three if you're going by bus) hour ride you just have to stop for coffee along the way. At the rest stop I see this couple with young kids who stand out somehow. It's not like they're wearing a sign but more of a feeling, and you just know that they're not from around there. They're on their way out of the city for the holidays. Then I feel slightly jealous of them for living in the City and starting to feel nostalgic. Especially after talking to an old acquintance about his adventures in the City. Finally we arrive. Get our tickets and board (with mum stopping to hug the spiky haired oranged tanned band of course). Time for dinner! We're placed with two older (retired) gentlemen and mum spends the entire dinner speaking to one of them while I, and the other man, concentrate on our food. Ouch! I try to eat some but give up, and concentrate on drinking my water. Back to our room to get dressed, or slutty in my case in a desperate attempt to feel cheerful although my tooth seem to be digging it's way half way to China by now. We go back and forth between her band and dancing (her, not me!) and my friend's future husband doing Elvis-ish.

World's smallest Rondabout dogs in Västerås?

Welcome to Stockholm! (snow!)

Civilisation. At last!

Waiting for our room. With a P2.

Mum is having soo much fun listening to the Elvis-guy.
