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 have lost my vocie. Last week I had a little bit of a cold but I practised anyway like I normaly do when I have a cold. I make sure that my pulse is steady. Saturday I spent 5 hours coaching my girls. My body felt fine but my throat was really sore and hoarse. Sunday we had to go a far way to play Svedala away. I took a couple of alvedon and hoped for the best. But half way there, we took the train, I knew there was no way I could warm-up. I felt so tierd and out of it. On the way home it only got worse even tough I took some more painkillers. When I got home I fell a sleep, waking up 2 hours later freezing and sweating. I was thinking 'this is how it feels to have a fever'. I haven't had one for such a long time. Anyhow, to make a long story short I have a infection in my vocalcords and I have been told not to speak for 10 days. It feels really stupid because it's something singers get not me. And I can't practise for 10 days! So I'm sitting here at home, bored, watching day time tv and drinking te.
