So I though ok... why not just write down some random thoughts and stuff from the past fortnight?
Thought and done:
* To keep putting off a visit to the dentist because it is so expensive does not save you money... On the contrary - by the time you get there, the dentist will have found a way to pay for his next vacation...
* I've noticed there are more than me here who aren't very into shopping. At least not for clothes (we're not counting shoes now, are we?
* By the way - it turns out I still haven't grown those two inches I'd need in order to find trousers that fits
* Apparently we'll be seeing a lot of peep-toe shoes this spring. Although I'm not crazy about toes, I like the look of some of the shoes I've seen. With coloured stockings, it could look cool
There's also an alarmingly big amount of jump suits (or catsuits or whatever they are called) in the stores. Not looking forward to that!
* I finally became a user of Spotify. So far it's looking, and sounding good.
* For some reason my hair stylist (that's her fancy title - I really call her my hairdresser) loves my hair. Is that why she keeps cutting it shorter? Does she collect the trimmings? Voodoo? Wig? Weird? Just to be on the safe side, I asked her not to cut so much this time... Funny thing is - I love her hair. A classical case of you want what you don't have.
* I visited facebook just to find that nothing special has happened there except for an invitation to a new club opening in Oslo on March 28th. It looks like it will be fun, but at the same day I'm invited to iPod baby's baptism in Malmö. I don't think I'll be attending that, though. I've already decided to go to Malmö the weekend after, and I suspect it might be a little stressful going there on Friday night and back on Sunday morning (most likely by a seven and a half hour bus ride thanks to vacation wanting dentist). I feel like such a bad person
* Spring is coming! The sun is taking on the huge piles of snow, and is reducing them little by little. It does wonders for the mood
* My physio told me I have a too short tendon in my left armpit which explains why I'm not very flexible when it comes to stretching my left arm. It also explains why it hurts like hell when she digs her fingers in there! Next time I won't shower first as punishment.
* Yesterday (March 14th) it was International Pi Day. Since, as some of you might know by now, the kitchen isn't the place I shine, I skipped making pie and ended up with chocolate balls - again.
Since they consist of around 99% fat (there's some oats in there to balance all the butter and suger!), they should only be devoured on special occasions. Since I don't know why I should celebrate Pi, I'm sharing them with you here instead... as a thank you for managing to read through this whole post!

Ah well, you deserved them
Zaphira # 15. March 2009, 18:58
Ahem...
You shocked me for a second with the "not fond of shopping"-statement. I am so relieved that you mentioned that shoes do not fit into that category!
gdare # 15. March 2009, 18:59
Chocolate balls, to be precise
ellinidata # 15. March 2009, 18:59
* I hate shopping and I started celebrating "no pants day" more than once a year http://www.boisenopantsday.com/
* I stopped growing myself but I sub by getting wider
* I had two c-sections jump suits are not easy to wear when you pee often
* hair dressers do that! love cutting hair short...and then they claim they love hair! where? on our heads or on the floor?
*Facebook is my only way to spy on my teens....
*I love Spring, I hate "Spring Cleaning" who started it any way?
*some people beg to be punished !
*You can never go wrong with chocolate!
thanks for sharing!

Darko - I'm glad you specified that
Ellin -
I've never heard of the no pants day. Not something I'll try out, though. Cause you know... it's too cold here in May
Jen - Yeah!

The choc-balls look great, but I'll have to pass (allergic to chocolate)
Oh sorry Rose - how rude of me...Hi, lovely to see you again, how are you?
Spaggyj # 15. March 2009, 21:33
Maybe your hairdresser is creating a doll of you at home for her own dirty needs

Flamingorinse- Allergic to chocolate, poor thing! I had an ex who used to bribe his friends for a single M&M before a test he hadn't studied for- would get so ill, he'd be sent home. He could use that trick about once per class per semester!

Oh, and let me try again - pictures, or it didn't happen!
Kimmie! I miss you!

They look yummy!!
I'm not much of one for shopping either. Unless its purses!!

I recommend that you don't immediately 'eat' the life-size chocolate full-body cast of Ellen Barkin that I sent you. Took me a while to make that and Ellen may require feedback (pardon the expression) as to it's ultimate success as a gift
Suntana # 16. March 2009, 03:54
Whoa! Just how short are you? Are you taller than a bread box?
For some reason, before I clicked on the link, I thought Spotify was going to be something like Twitter.
I think Hair Stylist is more correct because if she was really a Hair Dresser, you'd have little Barbie-sized trousers, blouses, socks, shoes, Etc. in your hair.
Phantom2 # 16. March 2009, 04:17
"Chocolate Lovers" everywhere!
I hope she doesn't require refrigeration.
rose-marie # 16. March 2009, 09:22
Dannii - Stop licking them - others might want a taste too...
Nick - You can have as many as you like as long as you keep breathing
(Although I bet it would look really cool bursting out in heat & light!
Kimmie - I was going to swoon, but then you say such horrifying things!
Lindsay -
Oooh, so you're a purse fan, eh? Nice
Carol -
Nick again - You don't have her chained up in your basement cave, do you?
Carlos -
I am slightly taller than a bread box, and slighty shorter than a lamp post. Trousers in this land of giants mostly only come in two sizes though

Typical that you'd all be talking about dentists and handing out sugar while my tooth trys to bunjy jump out of my head.
I don't need a dentist, it's just the full moon. Yep sure it is.

Rap - You don't get Spotify in NZ? I think Nick is on the waiting list.
Eesh, that tooth doesn't sound like much fun. Have a sugar rushed anaesthesia while you wait for the moon to pass.
Speaking of anaesthesia - today's dentist update: He was so certain I needed a root filling so I had an appoitment today. When he started to examine the tooth, there was a sudden pain. He gave me my first ever anaesthetic at the dentist and continued the examination. Much to his surprise, it showed that my tooth had developed its own self defence with a layer of something with a fancy medical term. Turns out he only had to build up the part of my tooth that had gone missing
Unfortunately, I also have to extract a wisdom tooth, but that's not until next week.

Just pay close attention to your hair stylist!

The only time I encountered that situation was back in the 90s with a pair of Guess Jeans. The Guess line of Jeans didn't actually have all the different length sizes like any other brand. They had 1 or 2 lengths. I took that pair to a Dry Cleaners to get them altered, but that was the one and only pair that I ever bought of that brand cuz that was BS.
rose-marie # 16. March 2009, 22:43
Some stores here do altering when you buy the jeans in there, but it's just not the same...
I did pick up some GAP jeans in USA, that fit perfectly. That was because they were ankle length
I've never seen, or tried on Guess jeans. Why were they BS?
