Forgive me

How hard can it be to put pen on paper? Or in this case, tap the phones screen for a few minutes.. Yet here we are. A week since my last update. Even longer than a week. Holy shit.

The sun is shining and most of the snow is gone. It's summery weather all around and I think it's time to put on summer shoes and a skirt. Or maybe not a skirt.. England, the rainiest country in the world, has had such a nice and sunny weather that they've got sunburnt. Good for them. I don't think we're far behind.

Today I'll be going to Kälviä to visit my sister. I haven't seen her for a few days. I got them a frying pan. She was cooking stakes on a wok pan. I think she needs a real frying pan. It's like a house-warming gift.

I've got a confession to make. I checked out the newly updated Samsung Apps and downloaded Sims. I know what you are thinking.. But I don't play games anymore and thought I'd test this one out.

That picture up there, the one of a Angry Birds can of pop.. What the hell. I had to get them! They tasted like any other pop. But I guess they want to make as much money out of Angry Birds as possible.

What a long day

This has been a very long day. First, the drive. We started at 7 am and drove for 3 hours. We stopped a few times but the only thing on my mind was the pain in my knees. It wasn't a big car, but not a small one either. The problem was the driver. He wasn't short, which meant my knees were up in my ears. Hmm. Anyway, we got here in time to have lunch.

After some salad, the training started. A few hours in, and I started feeling the early morning.. But the show must go on and so it did. We had a quick break every few hours and some food and then finally we were done. It was very interesting and I'm glad I got to come. I learned a lot and I'm fairly sure this will help me in my job.

Today was about customer service and how to make it even better all around, and tomorrow will be about the machinery aka the phones. There's probably not a lot about the phones we don't already know, but you can always learn more. It will be awesome! This is the attitude I'm harvesting.

It'll be a long day and then there's the drive back home. Maybe a few beers to calm me down? I really think I would fall asleep if I drank anything with alcohol right now and I'd be twice as tired tomorrow morning.

I've taken pictures (4 frames maybe) of the inside of the cabbin (house) us girls are staying at, but they're on the camera so I'll put them on some other day. How many pictures have I promised to put on the blog now? A hundred? I swear I'll put them on.. Some day..

I've got a hangover...

That song sounds good all the way to the point about wanting more. I really don't want to drink any more. Never again. Never ever. Until we go out with E. That'll be mad! We'll get even drunker than last night, if possible.

I remember most of the night.. Not everything though. There are some blanks in my memory, but I'm quite sure about not making a fool of myself.. I had a really nice time, especially when J and J came down to the party. Had a blast!

We played a drinking game. I had a constant flow of beer running down my throat. When someone pulled out a seven from the deck and the last person with their hand in the air had to drink, I put my hands down to the floor to make sure I got to drink. I thought a drinking game was about drinking? So I was a bit drunk after the game. It was a lot of fun and I really can't wait til next year!!

St. Patrick's Day

Happy, Happy, Happy St. Patrick's Day! What a glorious day for the Irish. It's a very good day for the rest of us, who get to party with the Irish. I checked Wikipedia for the history of St. Patrick's Day, and there's a few things I learned; Originally, the colour associated with Saint Patrick was blue, but then people gradually started wearing green, and it became the associated colour of St. Patrick's Day. It's a religious holiday but nowadays it's more like a national day for Ireland. St. Patrick's Day is celebrated all around the world; countries like Argentina, New Zealand, Canada and Australia (even Japan (!) among many other countries) celebrate this particular holiday. Today, St. Patrick's Day is probably the most widely celebrated saint's day in the world.

Tonight, I will join the celebration. Woohoo!

Appreciation

I had a customer, of the older generation, today. She had just made binding contracts with another company. So from the get-go I knew, she wasn't going to make any new contracts with me.. She said she couldn't make the Internet Stick work, and that she had been to the Shop where they gave her the stick, but they had refused to help her. We've heard these kind of stories before, and they usually always happen at this same shop. I didn't have any other customers at that moment, so I decided I'd help her. It took something like 40 minutes all together, to get her computer and the Stick working, but in the end it worked fine. She was so happy with me and the service (since I was doing the other companys job helping her) that she wanted to give me money. Well that service didn't cost anything, so I turned down the offer. But she insisted on it, and at the end of it all, I was stood here with a 20 euro bill in my hand. It's nice to know people appreciate you or/and the work you do, even if it doesn't seem like much. Thank You.

Big Questions.

Today is a day of Big Questions. My head is full of (stupid, I admit) questions like, why are vampires more flammable than humans? In every vampire program or book, they always make that point clear; vampires can catch on fire more easily than humans.. Ok, in Vampire Diaries, it's not like that. They roam around fire every now and then without a care in the world, which pulls the carpet right from underneath my point. But, in True Blood and Twilight, vampires avoid fire. And as I'm writing this; I've come to realize, that I haven't really explored other vampire stories, just these three. Should start reading more books; books that I'm not familiar with. The other Questions are way less sane.. Could there really be zombies? I understand how insane that sounds (sorry about that) and I think I've wrote something about it before, but I'm yet to find an answer. There are other Questions on my mind right now, but after revealing these two, I don't think you could handle the rest.

I am one unhappy gal today. Something incredible has happened. It is snowing. Why!? You, who are smarter than me, tell me why this has to happen? A lot of the snow had melted and gone away for good, (until next Winter, hardly for good) and now it's coming back?! I mean, COME ON! Where is the sunshine? Actually, fuck the sun(!), where is the rain? That would wash away the remains and reminders of Winter. Tough luck.

We need someone to replace A for the summer. We had a meeting in work yesterday, after the day was finished, and J said we need someone to start as soon as possible. So now we're hoping they'd find someone to start next month. Actually, J said he's hoping for someone to come in next week.. I'm just not sure they'll find someone that quick.. Even though I've got someone in mind, Perfect for the job, they have to go through the process of interviews and what-not. We'll see what happens. 

It doesn't seem like it's going to be a busy day. I might be wrong. And here's to hoping!

Back on Track.

Did my exercise. I enjoyed it as well. But only a little bit. After a while I remembered how I don't like exercise. But I will keep it up now and finish strong. I've got to reach my goal before the height of summer, or I've completely let myself down, and that is not something I accept.

Had a shower and read through the junk mail. B went to the dentist today. Everythings fine; they'll take out his wisdom teeth. Good. I should get mine taken out. The two I still have left. I ate this lovely meal B made me. Chicken with vietnamese wok veg and cashew nuts. A little bit of low fat cooking cream (ok, I'll admit; the whole 2dl packet) and seasoned with mango curry powder. It was, excuse me my french, fucking awesome. I had it yesterday (took a picture, but it's still on the camera) and today, and I'll have it again tomorrow. Fuck yeah.

Watched a movie last night. It was really good. I wasn't sure if it was going to be any good, but it turns out, it was absolutely superbly done. I truly recommend this movie for everyone to see. OK, not for anyone; Mom, don't watch it! It's scary and you'll never sleep again.

Btw. I also took pictures of all the pretty little things they sell in this pretty little shop at Chydenia. E started working there a week or so ago(?) and I just had to use that opportunity to go in and take some pictures. The point of this story is; I decided to dedicate a post for the pics and stuff.. So that is going on my list.

1) Pictures I've taken with the new camera and the experiences I've had trying to take a passable photo.

2) Put up the pictures I took at Blossom.

3) Plan the trip to England and then blog about it. It would be so cool to be creative and/or energetic enough, to really make it good, but it might not be that fancy I'm afraid.

 That is it for now. Until tomorrow.

The End

Don't worry. It is not the end of me or the blogging. And to those who had a sigh of relief in thinking it was, go funk yourselves. It is the end of a lot of things though.. I've read a lot about this online; the end of Desperate Housewives hit hard with a lot of people (Fortunately I am not one of those people, since I only watched the first season of this particular program), the end of True Blood (not for long, the series continues this Summer) and the end of Winter. I can't say that I'm sad about that last part. Not in the slightest. Not even a little bit. I don't care much for Winter; it's cold and windy and freezing and dark and way too long. But it's over now. But this month has been full of endings. I actually can't come up with more than the above, but I'm sure there are way more endings happening all around me. And the biggest the end is the end of my lazyness. That definitely ENDS today. Actually, it ended yesterday, but that wouldn't have sounded right.

I'm working a lot now. I didn't work yesterday or Monday, because we had our area trainer down for a visit. I think he came down to help out, because I was sick and A can't work during the week. But I'm back now, and never ever EVER getting sick again. Or at least for a few months. Maybe next Winter.. Because of work, I'm going to miss my Brothers Girlfriends Concert. It would have been nice to enjoy live music, especially performed by someone talented like J, but I got to make some money for our trip to England.

We're going to make a plan.. Even if it kills everyone. Or at least I am going to make a plan. Not like a plan we're going to follow to the point; more like plan the destinations, look at some cheap motels and get a closer look at train and bus schedules. It will be an epic trip! I can't wait! I will dedicate a whole post for the planning of this trip. And because I've planned to dedicate a few posts for a few things I want to blog about, I really should write them down somewhere. Otherwise I will forget about them; not for good, but you might be waiting for a long time to see my promise come to life.. I know!!! I will make a list. And that is how my day got even better! Who ever invented lists was a great man or woman. I bow to you.

Goodbye True Blood

I've read the last page, of the last book of the True Blood series. It ended like any of the other books.. Like, the story was going to continue in the next book. But there is no next book. So now I've got to use my imagination, and decide for myself, how the story ends. Bullshit. In a way I love it, not getting the '..and they lived happily ever after.' - line, but I don't know how I feel about not getting any sort of closure. Too bad. I really enjoyed reading the 9 books and I only wish I would've stretched out the reading a little longer.

I am nearly fully recovered. I still have a cough, but I'm basically all better. I'm going back to work tomorrow, finally! The doctor said to drink loads and loads of water, and that'll get rid of the cough, eventually. Good enough for me.

I burned my hand yesterday. An actual burn. I've only ever really burned a finger at one time, never more surface than that. But now, I have burns on all of the fingers in my left hand. I also have two very unattractive blisters; one on my thumb and another on my index finger. Yack. But B assured me, they will dry out or fade away in a couple of days. Thank fuck for that.

My diet went down the toilet for the most part, last week and a little the week before. But I'm back on track. And since I'm well enough to work tomorrow, I'm well enough to exercise. I haven't done any exercise for like two weeks? Shit. I have to really step it up and get back on track. I had to cancel my piano lesson today, coz I really don't think playing the piano would feel that nice, with a burned hand. And, I need to come up with some way of holding the dumbbells.. I'm sure it'll be fine.

Gonna go watch a movie with B. But before that - Miisu has nearly gone off heat but she is still sticking her bum up. She is very tired now, and I think it'll be back to normal in a day or two. Maybe tomorrow we'll wake up to find her normal again. I took some pictures with the new camera. I even put the pictures on the PC. But then I realized, I do most of the blogging on my phone.. So I either put them in the Cloud, or put them on my phone, or start blogging on the PC instead of the phone. The jury is still out on that one.

Ps. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. I like that quote. And not just because it gives me an excuse for my pathetic need to plan everything.

Sickedy Sick.

That is what I am. That is what I've been, for the past few days. And now, after 20 000 tissues, elevated CRP levels and a Rudolph nose, I'm no better. Ok, I'm a little better. I've got rid of the fever (it just went away, I didn't make it) and my nose isn't as runny, but my cough is the same. It's bullshit. Couldn't go to work on Wednesday, or Thursday and even though I was set on going in today, that didn't happen. The Flu completely disagreed with me and my plans and that makes this virus an asshole. I'm staying in bed tomorrow, again, and hoping this virus moves on to someone else.

Because of the virus, I haven't really done anything. I went to the doctor twice and she told me not to go to work and rest. Apparantly, the only thing that seems to get rid of the flu, is loads of rest, which basically means - do fuck all and wait until you're flu-free. Seems pretty simple.

There is really nothing more to blog about. I have not done anything worth mentioning. All I do all day, is die on the couch while watching comedy. Now I'm going to down the amazingly large amount of cough medicine I'm allowed to have 3 times a day.. Wait for it... 4 milliliters. How am I ever going to be able to drink it all?! Have to try. And then sleep.. That might be more of a challenge.

Why so many Pictures?

This is the look I get, when I whip the camera out of its bag. I knew Miisu wouldn't appreciate me constantly trying to take pictures of her, but I think it's good practice for me. Reluctant models = great patience builder.

I'm at work now, but I sure would rather be dying in bed at home. I had a cough yesterday, and I thought it might be from smoking, but now I'm starting to realize, it's actually some god awful bug destroying my life! OK, that was a bit dramatic. I've either got a head cold or the flu. It doesn't really matter which one I have, coz they both really suck. Fuck yeah.

BTK

Watched a movie about the BTK - killer. BTK = Bond, Torture, Kill. And obviously it was about a man who killed people. It was based on a true story, so I had to see it. We drove to Kälviä to visit with family and to watch a middle aged guy whack some people.

Before the movie, I tried to take some photos. I haven't read the book explaining how everything works, or learnt to use it just by pushing the buttons, so the pics aren't great. But I'll get better. It's one of my projects. You should always have some sort of project going on. Keeps you busy :)

Summer is on its way

Are you like me - you only shave your legs when you're actually gonna be showing them? In my case, that's only in the summer or the very rare occasion I dress up. I know what that must sound like, and my only excuse is this - I've been with my man for so many years that his love has grown, and it now reaches even the hairs on my legs. But still, I can't wait for the summer to arrive.

There is gonna be some massive partying, beach - sunbathing (no burning), books and everything in between. A german girl told me she was disappointed with the winter we're having. She got told it was going to be very cold and that now the snow is already melting.. I was surprised. The only thing I could tell her - I'm fucking happy about getting rid of the snow. We all know, we'll have to endure the cold and snow again next winter. Fuck that shit off. Summer - would you arrive already?!

Pictures Reveal the Truth

The other day I noticed the progress I've made during this diet. A top I love to wear, is now too loose to wear without a belt. It's amazing to know something is happening and that it's not blood, sweat and tears for no reason at all.

This week the dieting.. Not too impressed with myself. I think Monday was the only day, I actually ate stuff that was good for me. All the other days I ate at least on thing that wasn't exactly a part of my diet or drank alcohol. Actually, on Friday I ate half a Subway and nothing else, so even though the calorie count is higher for that one meal, that I'd prefer, it still isn't bad. Tomorrow - Full On Diet. Again.

B realized the Truth with pictures. I think it's time for some action. Take control of your life. Fuck yeah.

I was pretty drunk last night. But it was a really good night. We started the night at our house, then slowly (too slowly if you ask me) left for the bar and after that, people just did whatever and then we all went dancing. It's still early in their stay in Finland, so I understand, but I can't stop myself from being annoyed with some of the foreigners. It feels like Spain all over again.. When they say 'let's leave now' - it actually means 'let's leave in two hours'. This is not me being mean, this is me being me.

Went to take a few pictures with the new camera. They're on the memory card, inside the camera, which is inside the camera bag, which is in the bedroom too far away. I will have to put them on some other day :) Maybe even tomorrow. Just promise you won't laugh.

Updated blog.

Finally! I'd love to be able to say that I took the time to do it all on my own, but I didn't do any of it. J did it all, with a 'yeah that's cool' from me every now and then. The biggest THANK YOU to her, for all her efforts and endless patience. I must say, I didn't have any idea what I wanted the blog to look like and J really helped me find out what suited me best. I'm loving the look of it now, and as soon as I figure out how to place pictures on the desired place (instead of on the top only), on the blogger app, I'll post more photos. But until that happens, I'll only be able to place them on the very top, which means I'll only ever add one photo to every post I create on the phone.

Dieting on my BDay.

I'll admit, I didn't follow the rules of my diet to the point, but I actually only ate a few bad things and didn't even drink that much. I didn't eat any sugary stuff.. Only greasy, fatty YAMMY things my mum had made.. But I didn't eat crisps or candy or anything. So not too bad then. The following day I ate at pedrinas. But I ate nothing but that pedrinas food all day. So even if it was a million calories, I didn't stuff my face with anything truly bad for you. I still count those two days as cheat days, and I really think it's good for you in the long run, to have cheat days every now and then.

For a moment there, I thought all the snow would come back, but it's not. I hope.

I didn't take one picture yesterday. This isn't going as I planned. I was going to take some photos this morning, but the weather wasn't favorable, also the cat kept us awake half of the night. We went to my mums yesterday, and brought Miisu with us, and when we were leaving, she was fast asleep on the couch and really didn't want to get up. So we thought 'if we leave her at my mums, she'll cry all night' but no. She came home with us, and cried all night. What a Bitch.

Today I'll be catching up on my programs. I'm way ahead on my reading so it's time to sit down and stare at the TV for a few hours. Not too productive but entertaining.

Took my sweet time.

The reason I haven't blogged is a simple one. I zerod my phone and had to download all my apps again. Actually, I only downloaded like 5 of the gazillion I had, but the blogger app wasn't the same I had before and no matter what, I couldn't get it to work. And finally today, I decided to really concentrate on solving this problem and ended up getting a different version of the app, and it works great. The thing is; nowadays people upgrade their programs and apps and what-not, and they don't always come out bug-free. Or maybe I'm just stupid. I just think, if it's too much fucking around to get one thing working, you should really think hard about wether it's worth it or not.

J and E came over on my BDay. They hung around all night talking bullshit and listening to music. It was awesome. I got told off about not posting every day, and I'll try and do better, but I feel like I say that a lot and I never do.. I also got told that the layout and what-not is really boring and ugly, and I couldn't agree more. When I started this blog, I had really never created anything online or on the PC for that matter, and so I just picked out a layout that didn't make me go 'yack' and now I've been stuck with it. I'd like to be the kind of person who updates her life, I guess.. You know, furniture or clothing or blog layout. Or someone who changes their hair colour or make-up. But I rarely seek out things that need updating because I'm thinking 'why spend energy on that when I could do something else?'. Maybe I just need an updated attitude.

Probably like 30% of the snow melted today.. OK, not that much, but I've only been in town today and only seen the roads and such there, and it really seems like a lot if it is gone. Hopefully it'll be equally sunny tomorrow.

I've nearly finished the 8th True Blood book. I also realized I never even mentioned about the 7th book. But that one time I wasn't sure which one I was reading and I think I said it was the 6th book, but it was actually the 7th. And soon I'll be on the 9th and last book of the series. There is also one extra book in this box set, but I'm not sure what it's about. I'll read it anyway. I also checked IMDB today. The 5th season of True Blood starts in June. I can hardly wait!

I should really post a little every day, because doing what I am now, makes some unhappy readers. Or at least tired-eyed readers. Posts that are too long without a real story behind them.

Work was slow today. Not too many people left in Kokkola. Maybe people have gone to spend the winter holiday weekend someplace else. I would.

Tomorrow I'm getting the blog pimped up. Or in other words, layout update. J is going to help me. Fuck yeah.

I'm going to dedicate a full post for my camera, post some pictures I've taken and tell you more about my experiences (more like the lack of) with it. But not now. Good night.
