Long time as usuall... But better late than never =)

I just have to tell you what I saw a few days ago! I was sitting on the commuter train (Swedish: pendeltåg) and one woman was... Believe it or not... Cutting her NAILS! I mean for the sake of God!!! And I can promise you she didn't collect the nails so she could throw them somewhere. Noooooo!!!! They were flying around and ended up on the floor. And I used to feel bad when I put my make up on while sitting there, but this is sooooo much worse! And in case someone wondered, this was not a Swedish woman (of course) she was from the middle east. Jujks!

Something really strange happened to me last week also! I took a cab from Märsta to get home (since I missed the bus because the train was so delayed). For those of you who doesn't know, I rarely take a cab. So I got in to the car and the I start to talk with the driver and we're talking about the guarantee of taking the cab if your train or bus is more than 20 minutes delayed. So he's saying you can get very far on the 800 kr you're allowed to. And I said "yeah but once the amount got over 800 kr but since we split it on three we still got under 800 kr each". And then he looked at me and said "NOW I know who you are!!!!" I'm the driver from that trip!!! I just looked at him in chock! He said "it was you and a guy and a woman. I dropped the guy on X street and the woman on Y street and you were the last one and you got of in the intersection between Kungsgatan and Sergelgatan!" I just could believe this man! How could he remember all that?!?! And I should tell you that this trip was about two years ago!!! Small world we're living in...

My training is going fine btw!

I'm so happy! I got this great surprise when I got home. My lovely husband had prepared "kibbe batata". A Lebanese dish! He usually helps out when we cook but he almost never makes anything by him self from scratch. But now I'm impressed! He took the decision all by him self (and I was actually saying to my mom "I wonder what we'll eat to night, Aphram didn't ask me what I wanted") and executed the plan! Good work!

I did go to SATS yesterday (and managed to loose my hair brush) and I'm thinking of going tomorrow instead of Thursday since there might be some changes in my work. I'll see how I'll do. And in contrast to my new exercising life I did crepes with Galaxy chocolate on Sunday. And I can tell you one thing... They were DELICIOUS!!!

I hope I'll get a project tomorrow cross your fingers!

I took down all my Christmas decorations yesterday! No more tree in my living room! Feels so weird in a way, and the room feels so empty! Now, I wait for the Easter decorations. But to be honest, I don't have much Easter decorations... I prefere Christmas and the feeling you have around Christmas time is not like any other time of the year! Well of course, having a baby is a greater feeling, but I was thinking of the "regular" recurring occasions...

Today I went to SATS here in Sigtuna! I managed to keep my promise on the first attempt and I hope I'll be at SATS on Monday again! I can all ready see how the kilos are running of me!!! HAHA!

We're now planning for tomorrow! We're having a cozy evening at home. Peter wont unfortunetly be here, but he'll certainly have fun anyway! So, a mini meze is on the menu, chicken wings, grilled halloumi, mini pizza and shrimp biscuit and we'll see what else we come up with!

Now, it's Master Chef USA on the menu =P

As I predicted I'm getting lazy and my inserts are not one per day anymore... Last insert was Friday night and now it's Tuesday evening! I'l try to get up to speed again!

The weekend was good, we spent all Saturday visiting Aphrams family. Sunday we celebrated Elias and we got him a bow tie and a napkin to go with it =)

Monday morning I went to SATS!!!! SATS is w training center here in Sweden and I went there for the first time in over one and a half year!!!! It felt good to be there actually and now the plan is to exercise Mondays and Thursdays! Let's see for how long I can keep up with it =) I hope and wish and pray that I can get back to the figure I had just before I got pregnant. Cross your fingers!!!!

Now I'm watching my favorite tv show, "The Mentalist". It's so great and he is so nice! And my husband is jeallous since my computer, phone and tv are getting more attention... =) I better give him a kiss =)

Friday and after work we went to Kista Galleria to buy  my brother in laws birthday present. I wont write what we bought in case he or someone else (more likely) read this! I also changed a toy Michelle got for Christmas since she allready had it. We got her a very funny bath toy! An octopus that splashes water =) Very cute!

Now, we are sitting on our living room watching Beverly Hills cop 3 with my dearest Shereen and Maria! Cutest girls ever!!! But I better get back to the movie!

Love,

Free from work today since it is Epiphany (Swedish: Trettondagen) and I thought I'd prepare a few lunch boxes and then also manage to visit Aphrams cousin. So I did a loooooot of cooking today! I did "Tortellini" for the first time ever for myself and my brother (I didn't actually make them from scratch). We had two kinds, mushroom and cheese & ham. I mixed them all together and then put them in the mushroom sauce I made (mushrooms, onion, garlic and creme fraiche with chantarelle and cognac). That was for my brother and I. For Aphram I did my famous chicken pasta with coriander and garlic (I also got two lunches from this dish). And finally I made bolognaise sauce for my lunches and I also managed to make some for Michelle. What a great housewife I am! Haha, Bree Van De Kamp and I should be best friends =P

Now I'm finished! Slaved by the stove all day... Haha.. Kidding! But seriously, I am very tired. Aphram is all ready sleaping on the couch... I'm not far behind him, but I don't want to sleep just yet!

What's up for the weekend? We're going to have a "visit Aphrams family" weekend and then it's my brother in laws birthday also, so we'll be celebrating him on Sunday. A planned weekend in other words! Hope you'll hava a great evening now.

Today we bought a new TV! We havn't bought any TV to the sitting room upstairs since we needed to prioritize our purchases (since we're not like Scrooge McDuck). So anyway, Media Markt (a store that sells electronic stuff) had a big sale and a 42" plasma screen from Samsung for 3690 kr. That's hard to beat! So, now we are sitting in our black couch watching our flat screen TV! But... There's always a but! I think it's too big! I didn't actually want a 42 inch screen to begin with, but since smaller ones where much more expensive, we to it anyway! But I would prefer a TV that is 37 or maximum 40 inches. But hey, what to do?

Now it's time to watch Beverly Hills cop (Swedish: Snuten i Hollywood) on my new TV!

Love,

Pascale

Haha... My head is just blank! I have no idea what to write about!!! So I'm writing now and hoping that I soon will come up with a topic =)

My brother is reading somewhere that "Wall Mart" has a turn over (Swedish: omsättning) that is larger than Swedens GDP (Swedish: BNP). It's amazing how much money there is out there! Wow...! I mean... I would like to try to swim in money one day! Just like Scrooge McDuck (Swedish: Joakim von Anka)! Rich beyond any limits! A bit cliché perhaps but yes, I would give a lot to charity. But I would also fix all my loans and give a away to the nearest family memebers. THEN my dear friends!!!! I would just spend and spend! Travell, and buy lots and lot of clothes for myself and Michelle (Aphram doesn't even like clothes but I would force him to buy clothes too!). Then I would like to buy a house! A big house with a big garden so Michelle can play and run around! I wouldn't work anymore but I would send Aphram to work =) I would engage myself in volunteer projects within the church. There's so much one can do with money! Unfortunately I don't have lots of it, and I will probably never be that rich... So this is all an imagination... I wish... I hope... Only time will tell... Hopefully the really rich people will wake up one day and realize that they are not the only people on the planet... There are less fortunate people out there.

Heal The World!
