First Sunday in Advent

Sunday, 29. November 2009, 05:35:40

,

December is coming up very shortly. Normally I'd only post about Christmassy things in December, but I have to make an exception with this post. Today is first Sunday in Advent!

I've come to the conclusion that there's way too little pampering going on in my life these days - so I've decided to do something about it. Like last year I will buy myself one little present for each Sunday in Advent, starting today. Not expensive things (that's not the plan anyway) - but little things that makes me smile.

Today I got myself a Christmas calendar - and the bonus about the calendar is that there's a chance of winning 1 million kroner on it! :yes:



The concept is that you scrape away one number each day in December, and if you've got enough alike figures by the 24th of December, you'll win something.

Wish me luck! :heart:

A tour round the DVD-store

Tuesday, 3. November 2009, 05:54:06

,

My regular readers know that I love watching movies. I put reviews here on my blog - but almost only of the movies I've watched in the cinema. I do watch a lot of movies on DVD though.

So - it's been a while since I bought a DVD last, and I wanted to give myself a little gift. :D I went to a big DVD store, which is the one that holds the most interesting movies. It's a damn big store, they sell DVDs (obviously), CDs, computer games, games for consoles of all kinds, computers, televisions, cameras... you name it...

Usually you have to search for the employees if you've got questions. I didn't have any questions - I didn't really know what I was looking for, so I just browsed around, getting an impression of what they had, and checked if anything was interesting enough to buy it.

Ha, then I suddenly saw something. Two different movies, both starring Brad Pitt, namely "7 years in Tibet" from 1997 and "A River Runs Through It" from 1992. They were standing right next to each other - take a look:

Isn't it funny that they use so similar photos on the front page? :D I mean, even the bloody hat is the same! :lol:

Anyway - after having taken the photo, a sales man approached me. I quickly hid my camera in my pocket, not sure if it is allowed to take photos in there. He asked me if he could help me, and I said no, and that I was just looking for a movie (idiotic answer, but what the hell :lol: ). He ended up asking me what kind of movies I prefer and showed me around in the big store, telling me all about where all the various types of movies were placed, and after having tried all genres ("what about a romantic comedy?"...) he left me by the action movies.

I picked two - and went to the counter to pay them. Then he rushed over to check which movies I had chosen; The Italian Job and Requiem for a Dream. He approved of my choices, telling what he liked the movies for, chatted a bit while his colleague at the counter patiently waited for me to pay. Then he wished me a great day, and I left, smiling.

That store hires such entertaining staff! :yes:

The Colour Red

Sunday, 25. October 2009, 05:10:02

I absolutely love the colour red. Always have, always will!



I bought some new things for my kitchen, and red is apparently trendy in the kitchen right now. Good for me - I don't care if red goes out of style sometimes - I still love it.

Check out my new cooking pots:

Not only do they have a nice colour - they are also good quality, with nice soft touch handles. :yes:

The other thing I needed to replace was my old toaster. It could still heat up a piece of bread, but weirdly enough it couldn't toast it. The bread remained white, no matter how long it was on.
Here's my new, fancy one:

Cool, eh?

Oh, did I mention that I love red?

A Day at the Office

Thursday, 22. October 2009, 03:55:04

,

I just thought I wanted to tell you about how things are at work. I've had my job for a year now - time flies when you're having fun! I think it's going pretty good - I've learned a lot of things, and met a lot of interesting people. I like my job. I've had crisis too, but have been able to manage the problems before they grew too big.

Last month the committee decided to give me a raise. That was a great pat on the shoulder! :happy:

And then my boss called me into her office the other day.

She said: I've been thinking of something...
Me: Yes?
Her: Your phone rings an awful lot...
Me: <thinking that I'm not having lots of private conversations - my dad calls once in a while, but that's about it> Isn't that a good thing?
Her: It's a great thing!
Me: Oh?
Her: You know, the guy who was here before you, his phone almost never rang.
Me: Really? Why not?
Her: He wasn't able to explain things so people could understand them. People have figured out that they can get their answers from you. That's the way to go!

*huge smile*

Great, eh? It made me feel so good!

Anyway - our secretary had decided to take a week off. And while she was gone, I had to make a lot of copies - a job I would normally leave to her. It's so boring to be in the copy room! I thought I would get the best of it, so I brought my camera.

This is the result:

That made the job a little less boring! :yes:

Cleaning out my Closet

Monday, 8. December 2008, 05:06:59

, ,

Do you know that kind of chores you just keep pushing in front of you, and never really get done?
"I can always do it tomorrow, or maybe even Monday!"
"It in't so important to do it exactly today, it can wait for a while."
"It's no rush at all!"

This is how I felt when I thought about cleaning out my shoe closet. I have been wanting to do it for a very long time. But it was all talk and no action. And suddenly it was a problem; I bought new ones, and I hadn't room for them in my closet, which means they ended in their boxes on my floor. Not acceptable in the long run!

So I have done it now. I took out all the shoes and boots in there, sorted them, and piled them up in two heaps: One to keep and one to trash. Then I arranged all the kept shoes and boots nicely back into the closet, so it's easy for me to find just the pair of shoes I want to wear.

I threw out 6 pairs of shoes and 2 pairs of boots. *sniffles*

I celebrated it by going out and buy a new pair of black boots, instead of the ones I threw out.

Oh yes, and I counted all my shoes and boots too. Now, take a guess. How many do you think I have? And it's all of them, including flip flops, rubber boots, motorcycle boots, everything?!

YAY!

Friday, 31. October 2008, 10:10:36

, ,

When I woke up this morning, I knew it was going to be a fantastic day.

It's raining, and I hate rain, but not even that can ruin my mood.

Why? I'll tell you why: First of all, it's payday! And this will be the first month with my new salary, so it will be interesting to see how much more there is left after the taxes are paid.
Secondly, my local shoe store just announced that sales starts today! :hat::yay:

What more can a girl ask: Payday and shoe sales on the one and same day! Fantastic.

And the third thing that makes this day so good is that at noon I will go to a reception, and after that I am free to go home. So around 2 pm I am grabbing my Visa card and run towards my shoe store! :happy:

Have a nice weekend, dudes and dudettes! :heart:
