Loreen won!! She was absolutely flawless!! I'm loving it, and wheee sooo happy!

Everyone who listens to Swedish Radio P3 will now what the title is refferring too. heh.

Anyway, it's been a really really hectic week. My new bike is working fantastically, and I am so so happy for it. My old bike is still not found and I don't think it will be - the police told me to not hope for too much. ^^;;;
Work is really intense right now too - all the office workers in the building where I work are super busy which means they have lots of meeting and stuff which means maaaaany orders and bookings for me to do. And summer is heeerreeee, it's so warm and nice and sunny and lovely outside, so people are trying to get into shape I guess, because it feels like everyone and their aunt wants to eat salad now. Heh. I've been preparing So Much Salads for our saladbar this past week OhMyGod. O_O

I am happy though, because I got my paycheck in the mail and I get almost 2000 swedish kronor (about 270 dollars) more than I thought I would this month. *_* And that's not even counting the overtime I've worked these past few weeks... wohoo~!

The semi finals in Eurovision Song Contest is on tonight and I want to watch it but I'm so tired I don't know if I'll manage... it ends pretty late and I'm already beat. I want to watch it thogh since Sweden is on tonight and I really really like our song this year and I really hope she'll go far! ^^

Woke up as usual. Got ready. Left apartment, and went to get my bike to get to work. Bike is gone. Bike was obviously stolen last night.

How is it that people can't keep their long fingers in check, these days? *sighs* I really loved that bike. ;_; I was so frustrated and angry that I coouldn't help but cry - it's such a hopeless situation, because I literally have NO money and if I don't have my bike, I have to walk to and from work... which is okay when I'm heading home, but when I'm heading for work, it means I have to leave home at about 4.30 in the morning - I leave early enough now as it is. On my way to work, I call my dad and I was crying and ranting and my dad is the best dad ever so he just let me rant and rant and rant... and when I'd ranted to my dad, I called my mom and ranted once again, and cried some more, just because I kept gettign angrier and angrier. LOL, it's been The Day Of Many Rants, I can assure you that! ^^;

So I was really off all day, being really sad and upset and angry and pretty much disappointed with all of the world the whole day. I walk home from work after I've quit and then calls the police to report that my bike was gone. My day got a bit brighter because the police officer was absolutely wonderful - he was helpful and kind and made it all feel a bit better. Then, after another hour or so, my dad calls and asks me to come out to the garbage station just a short bit from my apartment bulding... and when I arrive, my sister is standing there too and my dad is loading somethign off from his truck... a new bike. ;____;~♥ He seriously bought me a new bike. A new pink bike. I really am the most spoit brat in the history of ever - it's even prettier than my old one. I love it, love it love it. And I still can't believe he got me a new one - I'd prepared myself to having to walk to and from work until payday lol! ^^;;; But now I have a completely new bike and I'm so so happy! :3333

My family! ♥

Somehow, despite me being nervous like craaazy, the hen party turned into a success! It was so much fun and they were all super pleased with everything! *breathes sigh of relief*

I teached them some tips and techniques on how to make cupcakes and then also showed them a few ways to make canapees and finger sandwiches. It was so much fun and even though my hands were shaking at the beginning because of nerves, I somehow managed to show them everything properly and I even think the lecture on tea-history and afternoon tea information went okay - ahhh, I'd forgotten how nerve wrecking it is to stand in front of people and just talk, talk and talk. I haven't done that since school and that was aaaggges ago, lol. (I graduated 7 years ago... WTH, HOW did 7 years pass by so fast!?!?!?)

Anyway, It was so much fun and they were all happy and the bride-to-be (who hadn't known what they were supposed to do before they arrived! ^^) thanked me and said that they'd learned a lot from the evening. ^^ So now I'm all "Wohoo, new career!"... except no, not really. XD

The Hen party I'm working at tonight starts in a few hours. Ahaha, I'm super nervous about being both a teacher and a lecturer. Ahahaha, what have I gotten myself into... I'm supposed to hold a lecture and a presentation about both tea history and whatnot and the same about afternoon tea. Since WHEN did I ever know anything about tea. LOL, super nervous omg. X_X
Please cross your fingers for me. ^^;;;;;

Tomorrow is a Holiday here in Sweden (maybe the rest of the world too, I don't know?) so we have tomorrow off from work wohooo! And even though I work on Friday, I expect things to be running quite slowly with few guests and customers so all in all, it's pretty wonderful. :3 Especially since I work on Saturday too. I'll be working at a hen's party, and it's going to be so much fun! There's a bunch of women and they've asked me to have a sort of "course" with them for a few hours, teaching them to decorate cupcakes and make finger sandwiches and canapeés and have a tea tasting and make it into a small afternoon tea party. It's going to be lovely - especially since I somehow managed to lure them into just concentrating on the decoration and garnishing of the cupcakes - from the start we'd talked about actually baking the muffins as well buuuuttt... I'm a lousy baker and we don't have that much time so I managed to talk them out of the baking - and they were extremely pleased with the idea! Wohoo!

Today when I got home from work, my TV navi SMILE magazine had finally arrived. It's the volume with reports of the takitsuba 10th anniversary event and also Tsubasa Dance&Rock report. They sent it out about three weeks ago so I've been getting worried for a while and wondered if it was lost somewhere or other... it seems like it's been on a nice little tour to Hong Kong as well so I guess it's been out travelling the world for a bit. ^^;;; But, I finally have it and I am pleased. All the reports from the takitsuba event are sooo cute - I need to buy the idol magazines with the reports in when they finally arrive at the Japanese bookstore here in Stockholm, since I stopped subscribing to them a few months ago.

I'm also suffering some kind of insane love shock for Takki right now. I don't know, but I suddenly started watching old performances of his and now I'm all starry brained and starry eyed and totally in love and have urges to go watch his solo-tour this summer as well as Playzone.... It might actually be for the best that I won't have any money, heh... ^^;;; Buuuutttt, he'll probably be performing Kareha no Kage at the solo con and that is my favorite Takki solo of all times and I'll be crying if when I miss it. I just rewatched the old shokura performance of it about a gazillion times and died at how insanely pretty he is. ♥_____♥ Oh, Takizaaaaa.

Also. My boss threw a frisbee in my head today. What the fuck? ^^;;;;;;;;;;;

I have a new one piece! \^_^/ I've been wanting, needing, one since I had to throw my old one away (since I'd worn it so much that the fabrix was wearing too thin and it was full of holes, lol!). It is sooo comfortable - I'd forgotten life cold be like this! It was on super sale at a store in the town where my mom lives and so she helped my buy one. *_* So happyyy~ I used to have a pink one (of course) but at the sale they only had black and grey ones so I bought a black one this time.
Needless to say, I've spent the whole day at home in my apartment, lazying around in my one piece. I stepped away from the computer one time, to cook myself some chicken gyoza - I discovered that I somehow in my empty fridge and freezer had chicken filets, cabbage, crushed garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil and gyoza skins!

So, please be amazed y'all. I actually cooked. At home. In my apartment. I never ever ever cook at home. It's the curse of working at a restaurant - you start resenting to cook at home, lol.

Other than doing actual cooking omg I've realy just been lazying around the internet. I'd been hoping to watch the new episode of papa doru, but decided to have more patience this time and wait for the subs to come out. So instead Ive been reading Harry Potter fanfiction. Seriously, it's been years and years and years since I last read any H-fanfics and I'd completely forgotten HOW BIG that fandom was - and appearently still is. It's amazing. *___* And since I've been out of it for so many years, I of course haven't read any fics either, so there are so many new wonderful and great ones! The Harry/Draco shipper in my leaps and dances with joy!


Yesterday at work was quite fun but so so tiresoem. The guests this time around was extremely demanding and difficult - they were 380 persons, but the amount of sandwiches and lunch and cakes they ate were for about 600 persons. They just... didn't stop eating. I was standing like this -> O____O at times just starting at the amount of food they ate at times. Not to mention cakes - most of them took two each, and how anyone can take two BIG slizes of brownie or carrot cake... I can never for the life of me understand. WTH. It was lovely when they day'd finished. I went out for chinese food afterwards and it was so so yummy. I had butterfried duck with chantarelles and a gravy made of soy sauce. Absolutely delicious. Nice way to end a rough day. XD And when I got home, I practically fell asleep right away after my 60-hours week. XD Slept for 12 hours and have been feeling quite dead the whole day. And tomorrow it's back to work again!

I'm reduced to a weepy mess by pms and too much work (so many hours already this week and I'm also working more than a full shift tomorrow... but moneyy wheee!). What makes it even really bad is that it is a severe case of PMS this time. I was wondering why I was in such a fragile mood when I suddenly realized what was going on.

Next week, we have Thursday of because of some Holiday. So happy, since I'll be working next Saturday as well... but, once again, moneyy wheee!

And now, sleep. Need to be at work at 5.30 again tomorrow morning. I finally started taking my bike to work this week, which saves me about 20 minutes each morning which is absolutely WON~DER~FUL~! Though my butt hurts since I'm still getting used to it, haha! \^__^/

Today was MAD. Somehow we made it through it all, but I don't know how we did it! I was at work at 5 a.m today and by lunchtime I felt like I wanted to die. LOL, I'm getting too old to work long-shifts!

But, most amusing thing today...


I wonder if the baker was hungover... or still drunk when he made out baguettes this morning. These are the same kind and should then of course all be the same size! O_o
