Advent and luxury breakfast!

It's the first time I'm using my fireplace! Both me and Alma thought it was fantastic! The only thing to think about now is how I'm going to pay for all the firewood ;)

These pictures are from Sunday just before my friends arrived for the advent-celebration, mmmmmmm christmas....

 And this is todays breakfast! Nice! Now I'm going to eat it and watch the first part of Terry Pratchetts Hogfather!

Namaste!

What did you want to be when you grew up?

So This weekend we had a birthday-party for David. The theme was: When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up. Here we have my arrival to the party dressed like my dream-job: Truckdriver!

 And here is some of the party-crew getting their drink on! ;)

 During the evening you could see a clear pattern of me getting happier:

 and happier....

 until this type of mode was a fact:

Lets just say: no more tequila for a loooooooooooooooooooooooooong while....
Hope your weekends were good!

Namaste

Alma, new furniture and power-tools!

Hello!
Last I wrote was last tuesday, the rest of that week I mostly tried to keep up at work... Thursday morning this is what greeted me on my way to work:

Ha ha ha notice the man in the chimney?

During the day we had "living model", since that is rare, even I took the opportunity and did some sketching!

In the afternoon I was so tired I hid where we wash the silkscreens... ha ha ha this is me then:

When friday came I had to get the apartment as ready as possible because Alma was moving back saturday. (mom had had enough ha ha ha) So I spent eleven hours right after work trying to get the place done. I'm still not done but now it's not much left! Saturday mom and I took care of the Alma situation and got me some more stuff from her basement. The evening was spent here at home with Jo, Marcus and Vonkii (Veronica) AND some eggs that were looking really unfriendly at me when I was making dinner....

Sunday was fathers-day so dad came here for some coffee. cake and presents! He also brought his power-tools for me... Now those who know me might think: "EEEEEEEEEEh was that smart? or even a good idéa?" They might be right! Suddenly I was mad with power and wondered why I didn't have anything else that needed to go up on the wall...

Today me and mom went and got my new table and two chairs so thats what I spent the afternoon doing together with unpacking my wardrobe, cleaning and doing the dishes.
The new table and chairs that I managed to put together:

 My livingroom window with the old watertower in the background:

 Alma:

And during the evening I've had some coffee with Petra, Dirt, Jo and Marcus. Nice!
Now I'm worth some Game of Thrones!

Karlskrona, constant art and done apartment

Yo!
Today I went with Petra to Karlskrona for lunch and a visit to the tattoo parlor. Lunch was crazy... people was hysterical over getting seats, food, well, everything you can think of...

Petra and Calle had what looked like a nice lunch (I had a shake as usual...) and we survived the rush-people! after that we had some detours but we ended up at Constant Art Tattoo for Petras beloved crow!

I found out what mine would cost so now it's "trying to save even more money mode" for me ;)

It was a very happy Petra on the train home :)

When I got home I found a note on the floor from my handyman saying that everything in the apartment is finally done!!! So now I'm going to start the unpacking process! I'm soooo happy!!! Later on there will be a visit from Jo, Dirt and Marcus, nice!

Hope you had a good Tuesday!

Less washing-drama and tattoos

yay go team me!!! I found a manual for the washing-machine in my apartment! I thought I was going to have to go by trial and error, biting my nails while the machine MAYBE destroyed my clothes... Now I am a washing-machine champion! wooo hoooo!
During my week off I made some potential tattoos...
one for my neck:

This is a Buddhist mandala that I made with the Medicine Buddhas mantra around it in a Tibetan script.
I also made one of the four noble truths but I don't know where to put it ;)

 I have many more, but those I don't want copied so they will not appear here. These ones that I have published You can't really copy if you don't know what they say, and if you do, it's fine by me!

Namaste

lately

I know, I know, I've not been so good with the whole posting thing...well, I'm still waiting for the painter to get done so I can unpack. It's really tiering not having access to my things...
The weekend was spent at home. Friday me and Dirt watched movies and ate "snacks", it was awesomeness!

I had forgotten how much I like veggies!
Saturday I kicked back with some shows, Sanctuary, Warehouse 13 and so on.
Sunday me and mom went through her basement and brought my stuff from there here. It was everything from lamps to Christmas decorations and small  furniture! This resulted in me, pretending to be an electrician... I really wanted those lamps up and running, so I cut some cord, removed the plastic, changed some things, added other things and now look at it!

So much bling in one lamp makes my tummy happy! ;)
The rest of the Sunday evening was spent  with Dirt and Petra who came over for tea and company.

After a week of vacation it was really hard getting up this morning, on top of that Mondays are the worst days at work... This is me during the morning meeting where we were supposed to make a pedagogical plan for each of the courses that we provide.... academics, monday and no coffee... after that, this is me:

Around four I sent out a text message to my friends where I promised them my kingdom if I could go home earlier... That didn't happen... At least survived the day and I have a living room floor!!! Tomorrow I will be here working on my paper and hangin out with the painter, which I did all of last week. Turns out we have the same taste in music and everything so I went with him and his friend for coffee, and no, it's not THAT strange! I'm just like that!
In the evening I will get a visit from Dirt and Jo, tempting me with stuff I can't eat since I'm on the diet still! ;) Well, it's worth it, cause I love them and I love having my friends in my home!
Have a great night all!

Namaste
