(i wrote this song in swedish for my little guest my 3 month old )

hej på dig                                            
hej på mig
hur mår du idag
hur mår du idag
ska vi sjunga nu
vad ska vi sjunga om
kanske om regnet som faller nu

hur mår du idag
hur mår du idag
ska vi sjunga nu
vad ska vi sjunga om
kanske om regnet som faller nu

titta ut genom fönstret
och kolla hur det faller
regn dropp på en regn dropp
tttttttttt tttttttt ttttttt

titta ut genom fönstret
och kolla hur det faller
regn dropp på en regn dropp
tttttttt ttttttttt ttttttttt

letter to a three year old.....

where are you????
omg!!!!!! are you sitting up there playing with your cars.....
look at you, i'v been walking around the house looking for you in all the places i could think of.....
but i never imagined that you would be comfortably seated on the kitchen counter playing with your cars so quietly....
and how did you manage to push the kitchen chair all the way to the counter without a sound....
ok i am happy that you took the time to clean the kitchen counter before playing by pushing all my stuff on the floor and then stacking everything neatly in a corner.....yes i must admit that you have been watching someone doing the cleaning....but putting everything in a corner usually means that you plan on going back and sorting through the mess later....
so little man....would you like to come down from the counter now and bring your cars with you....i would feel a lot more comfortable if you played with your cars on the floor....and left the kitchen counters to cooking....
if you like you can help me bake some bread later on...that way with me present making sure you don't fall and hurt yourself...you can enjoy standing on the kitchen chair and bake with me.....
and if you really want to be helpful before we start baking....you can pass me all the stuff you so kindly stacked in the corner one by one and i will put them all back up onto the counter where they belong.....

mince not my fish!!!!!!!!!!

after my workout today i felt pretty good about myself....i even ignored the rain to buy myself a yummy healthy nutty something??? smoothie when my daughter called me up and said....you have to loose weight now.....and i said i know i know i will....she said NO MUM listen....in biology we just learned that for every day that you are 5kgs overweight you loose 1/2 hr of your life....shall i do the math for you....well that killed it for me....so i went to the fish counter looked at all the fish and told the nice man serving me...that as i can only successfully cook lax...


could he please sell me any fish as long as it doesn't turn into mince once i'm done cooking it....so let's see if i succeed and i guess hello fish goodbye 1/2 hr off my life for the next?????? years!!!!!!!

celebrating trees!!!!!!!!

       
as a child, a great pastime is to look up at the clouds and imagine what you are looking at.....
gazing up at trees can also stimulate your imagination.....
i see a heart when i look up at these trees....opening up to a view of the sky......eternal love perhaps....
or simply love in the global sense!!!!!!!!

sparkle sparkle sparkle!!!!!!!!

 going to sleep in the dark is the most natural thing....but waking up in the dark.....leaving your front door in the dark and then coming home in the dark and it is only 4:00pm just doesn't feel right!!!!!!

                                                            can't wait for the snow!!!!!!!
                                    the light will change and the whole city will look magical!!!!!!
                               and walking in the park will no longer feel like a walk in darkness.........

app upon app upon app!!!!!!

everything moves so fast.....i keep trying to keep up with it all....
easy fast shopping....self service check out counters....but now you can walk up to the cashier
and pay with your mobile phone....
a first for me was buying my public transport ticket on my phone... then checking in on a
flight with my phone and now i can download an app and use my phone for my grocery shopping!!!!!
and to think that not so long ago....we didn't have mobile phones and we survived!!!!!
today we'd probably be sooooooooooooooooo LOST without our phones...
although we survived our teenage years without the mobile phone can you imagine teenagers today
organizing their social life without!!!!!!!
all these apps just keep my head spinning!!!!!!!

mobile phone the new easy in one handbag...no more backaches or stress....everything
you need you'll find on your phone!!!!!!!

from disco to house!!!!!!!!

what what what???

slow....moving into another beat....and then higher....building up to the climax....and then it drops
and the craziness begins.....
understanding my sons experience at a house (what??) concert!!!!!!
at the door waiting with thousands of excited fans....you could feel the tension as everyone wanted to
get in and experience this legendary concert in the history of HOUSE MUSIC!!!!!!!!
emptying your bladder is for sure a priority so as not to miss out....
entering the stadium "new friends arena" you leave reality and you enter a dream state....the base is on....and it is only the crowd, you and the music!!!!!!
as the heat rises so does the expectations of the crowd....everyone wants to see swedish house mafia and not the opening bands....
every time something changed on stage, from a light or a sound anything....the crowd would go crazy in the hope that they would finally see swedish house mafia....
out of the blue,,,,an imagine appeared on the projector sheet introducing the artists....and then boom the projector dropped and the whole crowd went crazy as the band began to play!!!!!!!!
after five seconds the heat rose and you could feel the sweat of the people around you (i'm to old for this!!!!!!)....as the crowd were fist pumping moving to the sound of music (quote a classical musical....) breathing, one of the most natural unconscious actions....becomes a difficulty as you are forced to tilt your head back to be able to breath.... the air conditioning keeps hitting you like a wave....every so often you would be sprayed with water cooling people down and restoring some sense of reality!!!!!!!
and the cycle would begin again....the heat would rise...the excitement would be heightened.....
 slow....moving into another beat....and then higher....building up to the climax....and then it drops

and the craziness begins.....

my sons advice....

wear loose clothing as the vibrations of the base will transmit cool air through your clothes!!!!!!!

amazing but true...

the power that only exists for legends....

-it was one of the DJ's b'day...and they asked 35,000 spectators to sit down and in a blink of an eye....the whole crowd fell to the ground....they were instructed to rise as the beat dropped....talk about a juxtaposition!!!!!!!

I AM LOST!!!!!!!
