Early off school today which meant - nap time after lunch! Yay me! I ended up sleeping for 2 hours! I'm already tired again so I'm not afraid of not being able to sleep tonight.
I took a break from my studies this evening and ended up spending some time in the kitchen. I've been finding ideas on pinterest and tried some of them out tonight. Busy making salads in mason jars for lunches, soya almonds for snacking and an oatmeal granola.... that's cooling down as I type this.
The oatmeal is something new tonight - it's with oats, walnuts, bananas,...

It's Wednesday night here in Denmark and I'm having a nice quiet night alone. Life has been..... chaotic. Seriously. I've been tired for the past 4 weeks. Exhausted. People are starting to comment on me looking so tired and it sucks. I guess I look like shit.
I'm hoping that things will quiet down next week - although I seem to recall saying that last week. And the week before last.... Is there no end? And just imagine, I don't have kids so I can "relax" when I'm at home. Hats off to those who come home from a long day at work and have screaming...

Right now, I'm in bed, blogging from my phone. An iPhone 4s 64gb.... I'm feeling very high-tech and uber cool. So this is actually just a test. The blogger app on my old htc didn't work well so I'm hoping that this is better. I guess we'll see.
And cross your fingers - I'm going to try and upload a picture too... The picture didn't work. I have to log on Picasso first.... But I need some sleep so that'll have to wait....

Things are happening over here in little Vejle. Both good and bad but I'm dealing with everything and am generally happy about how things are going.
I had my last official day at the youth club - I'm taking a 1 year leave from there and am starting school on Wednesday! Crazy shit! I'm nervous, exciting, anxious and happy all at the same time. It's been years since I was in school and this time, it's even more important because it's something that I WANT to do and not something I feel forced into doing. Make any sense?
I'm starting my degree in...

Here I am, drinking coffee and enjoying a quiet morning. No music, no tv (I don't even own a television), lots of coffee and it's a great way to wake up.
Things are good here. Busy as usual and I seem to have forgotten how to be on vacation. During the last couple of weeks - my vacation from the youth club - I've been working either at the Pub or at a new job, with autistic young adults. Or I've been running around to different meetings, doing different favors for friends and just trying to get everything done.
I've also taken on "Project Clean"...

Here's a little rant....
Ever since I was a teenager, I have had issues with my skin, mainly my face. Really bad acne when I was younger was a nightmare. Cystic acne that was not only ugly and embarrassing, but also quite painful at times. Then I luckily outgrew that phase and my skin has cleared up quite nicely. I have a couple of scars from my teenager years but nothing that bothers me.
But now.... I don't suffer with pimples or acne, but with a seriously red face. My cheeks are blotchy and I often times flush up like a tomato. It looks...

Just drinking a cup of tea before bedtime. Long day - had a night shift in daugaard and didn't sleep much. Was up at 6:30 am (which is not normal for me - hate early mornings!) and drove home at 8. Had a nap and then got ready for work again at 1 pm. Off at 10 pm and now I'm home, enjoying the peace.
Things are good here. Will be starting school again in August and I'm super excited. Camping with kids next week. Working at the pub and daugaard in July. Buying a car very soon. Exercise mania in July. Tattoo time for me soon.
Actually.... Things...

It's been a year since I lost my Mormor. I remember that phone call from Dad as if it were yesterday. It was a Saturday, early afternoon and I was at the gym, just finishing a dancefit class with my friend when I had noticed that there was an unanswered phone call on my cell. From my Dad. I'm pretty used to quickly figuring out the time difference and knew right away that it had happened since it was very early morning his time. I quickly gathered my things and called him as soon as I had left the building. Dad quietly told me that Mormor was gone....

I said goodbye to my dad here a couple of days ago. I hate goodbyes. I always cry like a big baby and it sucks. And it sucked coming back to an empty home - I guess I quickly got used to having him around. It was nice. It was cool just having him a part of my Danish life - showing him what I do, who I hang out with and where I live. He came and went as he pleased but we were able to spend lots of time together and I liked that. It's really hitting...

Saturday night and the goodbyes for dad have started. We spent the day with family today and since dad is leaving very early on Tuesday, he said quite a few goodbyes today. It's never easy...
I can't upload pictures since I'm blogging from my phone but I can promise you that we had a good day and I'll post pics soon. Probably after dad leaves because I'd rather spend the last few days with him and not in front of the computer.
I hate goodbyes....

Can you hear it? Listen really hard. Still nothing?
It's because there is nothing to hear in my little apartment other than my table creaking, me typing and the occasional car. No tv. No music. No talking.
Nothing.
And I like it.
I love music and listen to it all the time. I love my family and friends and talk to them often. I don't need a tv but it's on as background noise at times. But right now, I'm embracing the silence and I'm taking a minute...

It's been a while since my last post. Dad being here in Denmark and hanging out with him has been a higher priority than blogging. But he's out for a couple of days, visiting with his sister while I'm here at home working at the Pub so here I am.
It's great having dad here. He's been here for a couple of weeks now and is finally starting to relax a bit and enjoying his trip. He hasn't been in DK for 11 years so there are many family members to visit...

This is BIG news!
My dad is in Denmark for the next 2 months and it's been great so far!
He came Wednesday, just before lunch. I think he had a long but good trip. As good as it gets considering he was on the "road" for almost 24 hours. We were a small group waiting for him at Billund airport - me, his 2 sisters and their husbands and an old friend with his wife. We were all really excited! It's 11 years ago since Dad was here last. I was "home" in Canada last summer but this is huge, seeing dad on "my territory".
We haven't been doing much...

It's a Saturday night and instead of being out with my friends like I had originally planned, I'm here at home. Alone. MEH! So be prepared for a post of bitchiness and pity me just a bit. I promise that I'll post something a bit more cheerful tomorrow or Monday morning but for now, all you get is bitch and meh.
I've been busy. Way too busy with work and I guess I'm paying for it now. Fever, sore muscles, sore throat and a head that's almost too heavy to hold up. I was feeling fine last night while I was at work. Dancing, flirty and smiling...

I haven't really been around the internet for the past few days - something called life has been getting in the way. Work stuff, friend stuff, more work stuff and then just a bit more friend stuff. I like to sleep too sometimes.
But it's been a good week. Visited good friends, met new people and had a good time. It was nice seeing R. again. He's moved to Horsens to live with his girlfriend and we miss him here in Vejle. But they seem to be doing...

There is still snow outside. I can deal with snow. My aunt gave me a decent pair of winter boots a few years ago and they are wonderful when it's snowing. But do you realize how COLD it is outside??
Minus 19 degrees!
It's cold.
Luckily, besides the boots, I am also fully stocked up with hats, scarves and mittens so I'm pretty bundled up whenever I go outside. But with a slight wind, it feels like the cold can find all the cracks in my armor and attack me.
Yes, I'm bitching. But you know what?? I don't care. Because it's f-ing cold outside!!
Before...

I missed out on my Thursday's Babble here yesterday due to a meeting at the Pub. So I didn't have my normal Thursday morning to just putter around here at home. But today - Friday - I have my coffee, music and time to blog. And I'm in the mood to babble!
I only have 3 hours at work today - YAY me! And I don't have to work at the Pub tonight - YAY me! But I still have big plans for tonight. Spring cleaning - aka "The Plan". Let me share a little secret to some.... I have issues throwing things out. Clothes, kitchen stuff, bags, knickknacks, papers...

I grew up in Canada. I remember, when living in Alberta, that it got kinda cold. We bundled up in snowsuits, heavy-duty winter boots, built snow forts in the back yard, cross-country skiing on the golf course next door, snowball fights - it was a winter wonderland when I was a child. The red faces, snot dripping from noses, icy feet - how can one forget? Snow days from school, giving us all an extra day to come outside and play.
Then I moved from...

We had a meeting at the Pub last night where we talk about new ideas, meet our new co-workers and pretty much discuss everything that has to do with the Pub. Plus we award a co-worker with the title "energy of the month" and "pig of the month". Energy is pretty much self-explanatory. Pig of the month is someone who did a stupid thing where we laugh at them. (All in good fun!). Anyways, this meeting was a little special because it's our first meeting of the year and instead of monthly energy or pig - the "awards" are for all of 2011.
Guess who...
January 22, 2012
Meh.
That's how I'm feeling right now. My head is full of snot and I have a fever and all I want to do is crawl into bed and have someone pamper me. Preferable a really good looking man. Or my parents. Yes, I'm 32 years old and I miss my parents.
Was at work last night and I had super energy at the beginning of my shift. Dancing, laughing and lots of fun. But after a few hours, the energy was just more and more forced and by the end of my shift at 530am, I was done. And now - yes I'm whining - I feel like I've been hit by a truck. Trust me,...

My fingers smell like oranges. I guess that's okay considering it could be way worse. I should probably eat a bigger breakfast and that I will, after I ramble on and on here on my blog. But I have my coffee so I'm happy.
I'm trying to eat healthier. And drink more water. I tend to forget to drink water and stick with the coffee all day. It's not good. So I have a deal with my co-worker that we remind each other to drink more water and that helps. And I'm staying away from fatty foods, at least on the weekdays. Yesterday for dinner, I had a salad...

It's been a crap day. I don't even know why but it sucked at work today. The kids drove me nuts, my co-workers drove me nuts and everything just went wrong.
Puha.
But now I'm home and I'm forcing myself to let it all go and just relax. I did some quick shopping after work so now I don't have to do anything or go anywhere..... I could just curl up on the couch and read. Drink tea. Maybe even just go to bed. Or take a really long hot shower. Or go...
