Palma de Mallorca

Palma was a fantastic time!!!!

There was great opportunities to sun bathe and tan, the nightlife was fantastic, and the days were relaxing and peaceful. I can think of much worse ways to spend that money. The hotel was fantastic as well.

Now Alex and I are at the airport waiting to begin travel back to Sweden. We then spend some quiet days in Örnsjoldsvik and then to M&T’s summer house for a weekend.

Anyway, writing this without pictures doesn’t do the experience justice, so I promise to post pictures later. Ciao for now 🙂

The Day After Tomorrow…

I’ll be on the beach and having fun in Mallorca.

Whee!

And now for a long update…or as long as I will be allowed before Alex and I go to the gym.

I know that it has been a very long time and I apologise for that. The last 6 weeks at work have been so stressed and crazy that at times I thought about giving it all up. But I managed through it and now today I begin my 4 weeks of vacation.

I will spend 5 days of it in Mallorca, and then another week of it at Alex’s place up north, and then we come back to Stockholm and I relax in the city doing a whole lot of nothing.

Looking forward to it actually.

I have told people at work that I really don’t expect to be called or contacted unless it is urgent. And I mean that. I can only think that I will not make the effort to run for the phone all of the time. For Palma, there will be no e-mail at all.

Also, Markus is now in Paris and I totally missed saying goodbye which I feel bad about. But hopefully if I get a trip to Paris we’ll meet again.

Anyway, you can eventually expect to see the pics from Mallorca as well as posts (I’ll have my Palm T3 so I will make updates on the handheld) to keep you all updated on the experience.

Until then, take care and lots of hugs!

Birthday and All

So it has now come and gone…my 31st birthday. And I feel just fine.

I celebrated the day by relaxing and just doing nothing all day long. It was perfect. Alex came over and we went out to dinner. He got me a really cool belt and a new pair of undies. And I got lots of great birthday wishes (over 25 of them…thanks everyone…that made my day!!!) and really cool e-cards!

On Friday Alex and I went to the gym and worked out for 2 hours, and then we ate lunch and then went out shopping and he managed to find a store with great jeans for tall guys like me. And I got a new pair of jeans. And I got new pillows as well, and new underwear and socks. And then we had dinner and then he had to go home and prep for a competition.

Markus then called me and invited out to a VIP party that one of his friends was hosting. Or at least his friend’s company. It was a fabulous place and great party. All of the free booze one could drink, so we stuck with the champagne until it ran dry. And then we had mixed drinks and not-so-mixed drinks until we were too drunk to stay. So then I went home and went to sleep about 10 minutes later.

This morning was quite nice…not really hung over…and with enough energy to go to the gym :-9

Today I Am Thankful For….

Night-time (it’s 8 degrees cooler) and Absolut Fruitins. I am sure it has a more formal name, but to make it:

2 CL Absolut Citron
2 CL Absolut APeach
2 CL Absolut Mandarin
2 CL Absolut Ruby Red

Fill the rest of the shaker with equal parts orange juice and white cranberry juice

You can also change the balance slightly if you add 2 CL Absolut Pears or if you remove the cranberry juice.

Anyway, I’m on my 5th 😉 And that is giving me the liquid courage to go out solo tonight and just hope people I know are out! 😉

Mini Apartment Update

75% done with the living room in terms of freeing it of clutter….looks better all the time 😛

I was supposed to buy a flat-screen television, but I decided to vacation at the Puro Hotel in Mallorca, Spain in July. 😉

I also need something more to fill the living room. It still feels rather empty. I am still planning to sand-paper down the walls and paint them white or beige…haven’t decided…
