There's less than one week to Christmas now, as it's the fourth Sunday in Advent. It's been a very productive day so far, we've done heaps of chores. Right now I can smell the sweet scent of home baked buns from the kitchen.

Anyways - the day started with me having my weekly present. I was all excited like I've been the other three Sundays. I just love getting presents.

Today's parcel held another piece of jewellery - a bracelet with little skulls on it:



It's cool, isn't it?! I love it!

(The flower in the background is a Christmas flower I took home with me from work. I like red, and I find these flowers very Christmassy, so they're perfect in December.)

I don't really know what the skulls are made of. Here's a close up:



I've tried to convince FlaRin that there's such a thing as the fifth and sixth Sunday in Advent, but he didn't look as if he believed me....

I hope you've all had a great Sunday.

I'm posting late today, because we've been out all day, and it's impossible to make these Advent posts beforehand, since they're about something I'm getting the very same day.

But anyway - it's been a very long week, and finally it's Sunday again. I'm excited over these four Sundays in advent, since Flarin has said yes to buy my little gifts of pampering, instead of having me doing it myself.

To make a very long story shorter, here is what I got today:



It's a necklace with a pendant, with a skull lady in the middle, and surrounded by little skulls. I think it's absolutely gorgeous, and it's so me.

We went to Sweden today, to shop a little bit in Malmö. I bought some plastic boxes, some makeup and some nail polish, a t-shirt and a pair of pantyhoses. And some Christmas presents that I'm unable to mention here just yet.

I hope you all had a great Sunday.

I have been neglecting my blog lately. I'm not posting every day as I use to, and I haven't been as enthusiastic about commenting either. I can't explain why, it just happened. I guess life gets in the way from time to time. And I also guess that most of you dudes and dudettes know what it's like.

I still work a lot. And I've been having a few conferences and stuff out of town recently, plus work dinners and other more or less interesting things. I plan to make a blogpost about work soon too.

I've also been ill. It started with an infected throat that developed into pneumonia, so I was friggin' ill for an entire month!
I ended up on medication that mentioned side effects like threatening and violent behaviour, cramps, skin infections and bleeding from the rectum. Fortunately I didn't get any of these!

Then there's home life, that gets in the way of blogging too. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad thing, but it's still very much different than when Flarin and I were in different time zones.

But I promise to try to do better. It's not because I haven't got anything to say, or that I've run out of ideas to blog about - not at all. The road from idea to blogpost is just a little bit longer these days.

I apologize.

PS. I do have a feeling that I might put up another blog post later today, if things go as I hope. *crosses fingers*

This is the tenth post in my row of music challenges - time sure flies when you're having fun.

This week's challenge: A song that makes you fall asleep.

I'm sure this one will make you laugh, but that's alright. I find it quite funny myself, actually.

Sing me this lullaby, and I'll be sleeping safely like a happy kitten.
