Sitting here at HH waiting for lunch. This first week has been so much fun, but a lot of hard work to start things of. Not only do I have to remember everybodys names I also got two projects going. One packaging 'line' for mens, womens, and kids baselayer, and I'm also responsible for a ready to sell display for beanies, socks, and mittens. A lot of meetings trying to please everybody from sales, designers and marketing. I have to take a lot of own initiative and have a lot of responsibility. But I'm really enjoying myself! Luckily I don't have any friends here yet... But tonight I have my fist volleyball practice with the Koll team. And I'm really excited for that, it will be good to get up and moving after two weeks of rest.  

This weekend we were up at Beitostølen were Eva and Gisle have a nice little cabin from the 50's. Eva, Maia (the dog) and I too a 2 hour ski up in the mountains. The weather kept on shifting, it was sunny then snowing, then sunny, then raining. It felt so good to breath in all that fresh air, but I was completely out of it all night. We also went to a after ski and drank beer. I got to borrow traditional norwegian after ski wear which was leather knickers. I thought I looked like a dork, but eva insisted that everybody weares them. When we got to the place I didn't se ANYBODY wearing them! Especially not kids my ages, it was the usual jeans and hoodie thing there. But I had fun and tried to follow the conversation.

It is hard to understand norwegian some times, especially because they just assume I understand everything since I'm swedish. Some accents are impossible. I'll give it another week then I'm switching to english. 

We won the 3rd quarterfinal yesterday. A win on tuesday and we are in the semis! I came in and played backrow setter in 4 of the 5 sets. Played good enough to feel satisfied.

Seb and I are seening U2 July 6th in Chicago. We thought we would take a couple of sightseeing days and then go upp to Door.

The swedish word "fika" is one of the best words.

The best fika we get when we're on the road for away games. We stop at a place called Dinners were we have food, usually pasta. Then we get this amazing snack package with a smoothie, coffee in the nicest pink cups, a fantastic sandwich and a fruit. Thanks Dinners!

This pic is from my first Starbucks fika in Sweden. Starbucks opened there first cafe at Arlanda the week before my Oslo trip. So I orderd a tall Carmel Macchiato. Luckely for me the girl that makes the coffee misheard the lady at the cash register so I got the biggest size. It's been a bit of a debate about Starbucks here in Sweden about the high priceing. A tall Macchiato was 36 SEK. I think that that is a fairly normal price, since both Waynes Coffee and Espresso House (the two big swedish coffee chains) take 30 + SEK for their coffee. Anyhow, it was delicious.

Wonderful March day here in Sollentuna! I took a long walk around Edsviken, before having a nice fika with my friend Linda.

Something fun for a thursday. The IKEA name generator, whats your IKEA name? Mine was Emke.

Did anyone see Anja Persons crash yesterday? Very scary! I just sat quiet and closed my eyes, begging her to stand up. Luckely it seems that she is doing ok and might even compete tonight!

Todays project; Making a homemade Princesstårta from scratch. My friend Sandy, from school, is turning 25 on Friday. So my other friend Anneli came over and helped prepare lunch and the cake. The recipe was from Leilas 'Piece of cake'. It was very easy and only took 40 minutes. Including the decorating!

Nice crocodiles made with cookiecutters from Indiska.

I'm feeling better, and have started to work out again. :-) It was wierd not speaking for days, but I immedeatly felt a diffrence in my throat.

Last week we had a late celebration for Sebs birthday. I baked kardemumma bullar and we had a 'make your own semla' party! It was so much fun, and for me who dosen't like mandelmassa that much we had bluberry jam. It was delicius! And especially the kardemumma bullar form Leilas cookbook!

I was wondering a little of everybodys summer plans. Seb and I are going to se U2 in Chicago the 6th of July, then we are going home with my family in the end of july... We think.. So what are peoples door plans for this summer?
