So I just took Her Highness shoeshopping because well she needs some outdoor winter footwear for when she starts DayCare tomorrow - even she's still not walking (YIKES TIMELOOP! ) and *CAR DOORS SLAM* that was NOT fun!

I should mention that she LOVES my shoes and the storage I have for them in our huge wardrobe (it slides in and out and she think it's FUN with extra FUN on the side)

HOWEVER

Shoeshopping and thus having strange men try and put shoes on her? She does NOT like that! She cryed her big blue eyes out - my heart broke and I broke out in a full-on sweat (we're talking jolly-non-green-levels here people) because yeah it was just no fun.

BUT we did eventually end up with a pair of shoes and she got a cracker and all was well in the world again. Right now she's napping in the pram on the terrase and I'm sitting down with my feet up. AWESOME!


EDIT: Sometimes I'm so frigging BLONDE! (and y'all know that I'm not talking hair color here!) I just talked to my Mom and because she's wise like that - she made me realise that Princess I's reaction OFCOURSE was due to her phobia towards having her feet 'held in place'. DOH! It's one of the only things that's left-over from the hospital stay where they had to draw blood from her heels for a while because she was too small for them to do it the 'regular' way.

It happened... last night - the slow going train wreck finally came to a crashing halt and now the tracks have been cleared by tiny men in orange hard hats and overalls. (no seriously that's how it is.)

So I told him that I felt like I was carrying the entire load of our relationship and getting Jack for it and that even more importantly I felt taken for granded. I also made sure to point out that yeah I fully well know that the lawyer gig comes with long hours and that he's very much welcome to have awesome friends, but every once in a while it would be nice to feel like I'm more than just the warm body he fall into bed with.

I had a good cry, man I hate that I can't stop the waterworks in situations like this. And told Boyfriend all the tiny things that had been bugging me the past month-ish and yelled at him a little and he told me that I wasn't an evil bitch and that he had no idea that all of this was bugging me this much and that he hadn't known that I was walking around getitng more and more angry and once again reminded me that he's not a mind reader (beeteedoubleyou; THANK GAWD because I would be SO screwed!) and that I had to tell him when something like this was going on.


And sure when you use logic and is all rational and unemotional like that it TOTALLY makes sense - but I'm pretty good at getting myself worked up when the mood strikes me so yeah....

Eitherway - the air has been cleared AND he's made me a promise that I'm now on his list of priorities AND that from now on he's going to start being realistic about time (meaning that 'it'll be another half an hour' means 30-frigging-minutes! and not and hour-hour-and-a-half.) and he'll be leaving the office no later than 4.45pm everyday so that I can ACTUALLY count on him at 5pm because what was really making me upset and annoyed was the fact I NEVER knew when to expect him. When it comes to time and rutines like that I'm a lilttle bit rainman-ish.

So today was a brand new day - I actually slept in 'til about 8am and Boyfriend got up when Her Highness woke up without me even having to really ask for it. So he's really trying. Also today was one of those days were we could all just spend time together. We ended up going into town (our trusty coffee maker - not Coffee!Luke but the other old on died on us so we needed a new one) and we also needed to do some shopping for the birthday party we're throwing next weekend and yeah it's just nice to walk in town I guess. And yeah I feel like an almost new person. Tomorrow BFF and her family is coming over and I'm looking forward to seing Ida and Viktor around each other again - those two are just so... Last time BFF and Viktor came over Viktor spend the first 20mins where Ida was sleeping almost cranky because she wasn't around but then when she woke up he lid up and became his own happy self. Those two - peas in a pod and once they get older I'm sure we're gonna have our work cut out for us.

OH and because Princess I is the most spoiled kid this side of the Equator we've bought her a kiddy boombox for Christmas (it's got a handle and is pink and she's just gonna LOVE it) AND I've ordered her a Puppy from build-a-bear because one of her Uncles (Boyfriend's bro) got her a few gift cerficates to the store the last time he went to McDonalds because they were selling those to benefit Cardio-kids and DUH ofcourse we're gonna support THAT! So G - she's getting those racing cover-alls! I wonder if Boyfriend would spot it if I also bought clothes for it that look like something my fave tv-little-brother would wear... I mean it's a FRIGGING puppy!

I'm a little bit in love with this man...Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen - interiour design God LOL



Why? Well I've been watching Changing Rooms every day with my lunch for the past weeks and yeah he's just so SNOOTY, and snarky, and funny and British and AMAZING! Also amazing hair and funky shirts What's not to love? I don't know if y'all remember the design I used to have on my kitchen wall? wEll that was inspired by what he's done from time to time on the show.

EDIT: Ok added bonus info of awesomeness! He has a daughter named frigging Hermione! Seriously!

Yesterday was well let we could call it; interesting and leave it at that, but I need to rant. Sorry in advance

Even Boyfriend who's about as perceptive when it comes to reading my moods as say... Well we'll put it this way; Poppa W. is better at dealing with his youngest spawn than Boyfriend is at figuring out my moods, picked up the fact that he was the one who would be in charge of dealing with the housekeeping once he got home from work because by 5pm I was dead on my feet. No seriously I fell asleep on the couch in Ida's room while she was playing on the floor by the window and she is NOT a silent child!

So yeah for the first time in months I did NOT end up cooking dinner! AND I told Boyfriend to take Princess I with him when he went to return our fancy remote control because I just needed to NOT have anyone around for an hour or so. I swear I would throw myself on a bomb for the both of them, but yesterday I just couldn't keep going.

Once Her Highness was in bed and dinner had been dealt with I pretty much just pooped out on the couch. DIDN'T EVEN TURN ON THE TV! Yeah that's how tired I was! Just lay there on the couch with the laptop, all quiet like and surfted the interweb - which beeteedoubleyou, WHERE THE HELL MOUTH did all the good fic go? So I just ended up with some classics - yep OurVerse never fails - but it turns out I'm apparently normally a 'loud' person. Because Boyfriend turned to me a few times to check if I was pissed at him (which I kinda was but wasn't at the same time due to the whole no sleep thing) OR if I were feeling ok (again just the tired thing) and then told me that he had never known me to be this quiet. Go figure.

Today is A LOT better though - Ida is back to her own self, her leg doesn't seem to bother her anymore and she's eating me out of house and home AND threw a tantrum when I put her out on the terrase for her pre-lunch nap. So all according to plan.

Tonight Boyfriend is working - AGAIN - but actually it's not really work-work, the first year junior-lawyers or whatever are in charge of the entertainment for the christmas party and they are apparently working on that tonight. So yeah I won't see him until sometime before bedtime and either will Her Highness. I have a feeling he and I have a fight coming though. A fight about how the hell he can keep picking work and his friends over me. Because guess who's going out on Friday night. I'll give you hint, it's the one person in the household who doesn't look really pretty in a dress.

Sometimes I wish he wasn't a lawyer, then again he has some godgiven talent for making deals. Like the other night he was all, so I have this thing I'd like to do. And the way he said it I just KNEW what was coming. He was telling me that he was going out on Friday with his old study group and really I GET that they all work alot and that they miss each other and all but SERIOUSLY! It pisses me off when he makes it seem like I have a CHOICE to tell him to not to go. Because really I SO don't! I'm already dealing with a major case of 'omg she's such a mean and boring bitca!' for telling him two years in a row now that he can't just pick up and leave for a week to go skii with his mother's cousins.

OH and you wanna hear the kicker? Last night during my 'quiet periode' He kept this running commentary and one of the things he said was that he was sorry that he had to take work home with him (he was going over some documents I guess, which I really don't mind as long as he's ACTUALLY HOME instead of at the office) BUT that I should know that he still tried to be an awesome Daddy and Boyfriend and as far as he was concerned he was doing just that. Seriously? Yes the Daddy thing he's right about! I never have one second where I think that he's not putting that little girl over anything in the world the boyfriend part though... If last night I'd had the energy to deal with the 'kicked puppy look' I would have snorted and told him the brutal truth but I didn't.

I'm really sorry for laying all of this on y'all (again) but I need a vent and R told me not to kill Boyfriend because jail will suck so please bear with me.

On a completly different note; i've orderd this


For Princess I, It's Timmy from Timmy Time which is her favorite kiddy show. There are three theme songs that make her rush for the tv; Timmy Time, The Daily Show and Gilmore Girls LOL And since Boyfriend won't let me get her Dean F. or Jon Stewart she'll have to settle for Timmy.

Remember when I said that I hoped that Princess I would sleep through the night?

Well so much for getting what you hope for - We had some interesting hours between 1 and 3.30-ish am and ofcourse she woke up early ready to start the day.

So like I told G, yes I love coffee a little more today than I normally do.

I know I should feel lucky that I have a child who sleeps through the night and have been doing so since she was only a few months old BUT it also means that on the odd moments when she has nights where she's not sleeping I feel like I had the crap kicking out of me the next day because I'm SO out of practice with the whole getting up in the middle of the night thing.

OH and she woke me up during a REALLY good dream too!

and let me get this out to the Mommys who stop by here; how do you keep from killing the father of you child when he insists that you are the one to get up during the night because HE has 'work-work' in the morning? Because yeah at 3.30am I was getting close.

So her highness had her 12-months check-up incl. two fun shots! One of them being a tetnus booster - OH JOY!

As always she handled most of it rather well. She demonstrated her mad skills at getting around a room - you can't really call it crawling LOL - and charmed the heck out of our family doc (AGAIN) and once it came time for the actually sticking of neddles she was such a good girl about it and yes she did cry but she was easily comforted again. ( I still say the train with the word 'GEA' on it was key.)

Later in the day came the fun sideefftects though. She's been runing a slight fever and she's got some pain/discomfort in her right leg where she got the tetnus thingy. I expected all of this, but that doesn't make me feel ANY better having to deal with her not feeling well.

I thought I'd built some kind of tolerance, but I guess you really never do. Right now she's sleeping. Just checked on her and she's on her side with her legs pulled to her chest, which is how she sleeps when she's not feeling a 100%

I just hope she sleeps through the night because that's really the best cure to this, but if she does wake up like I said we're prepaired got a bottle in the fridge and some baby paracetamol on standby.

SO I finally got around to taking some photos of my not-so-new-anymore appartment...

Also this past weekend we helped move Boyfriend's grandfather into a nursinghome and thus came the time where we were given the entire collection of the gorgeous china that he and his wife had collected though a lifetime. (can now set a complete table, lunch, dinner or just coffee for 12 with this gorgeous china)


Yeah so this is what it all looked like once I'd gotten it all clean from having been packed up. Boyfriend did a quick guesstimate and figured that we might have to get our insurance raised because this right here... yeah it's a small fortune.

Anyhow... here is what the livingroom, kitchen, diningroom etc. looks like these days.


Yep that's right G I've gotten my rug! It's another handme down from Boyfriend's grandfather and I just love the way it makes my livingroom feel. Oh and note the flowers on the coffee table.. yep full-on hyachints because we all KNOW Sammy can't stay away from girls who have those around. LOL

I've been having one of those weeks - Boyfriend working too much and all and generally feeling all Queen T-like. Really if I hadn't spend the evening on Monday with the BFFs I think I might have gone all Kill Bill on someone.

BUT

then last night at 6.10pm it all became a little better! How?

Well I got hit with a suprise episode of

Seriously I had NO IDEA it would be on TV! (the daily reruns disappeared a couple of months ago out of the blue) I really thought the network had messed up and was annoucing the wrong show because trust me it'd happened before but low and behold there the girls were! I don't think I've ever been more happy to see them.

see it doesn't take much to please me!

• Was that Swedish? It sounded like Swedish to me, but I'm not sure. Then again Alexander  Skarsgård is Swedish so it wouldn't be imposible... OH and as predicted the boy-on-boy suggestions on True Blood was enough to make Boyfriend run for the hills. Poor baby. And the lingo geek in me is giddy that Skarsgård actually gets spelled with an 'å' and not just an 'a' or 'aa' in the credits. Just shows that someone made the effort.

The last epiphany I had was that Boyfriend is Sammy - the next one...

I think Princess I might be a mini!Dean in training!

I mean she has the eyebrows of doom thing down PERFECT!

She LOVES music... She even seems to have a bias towards the more rock and roll kind of music - my evil plan totally worked as I played her tons and tons of Doors in the womb. (DUH!)

She loves food! - her grandmother helped her discover cookies/cake. (way to go Mom!)

Driving is one of her favorite things.

Her daddy is her Hero - even if he sometimes isn't around all that much.

I'm so screwed aren't I?

Also on a somewhat related note; this is her "Ten Inch Hero" supply run-audition-routine.


Seriously every time the bathroom door is open she goes STRAIGHT to that drawer and starts pulling out the things inside. All she needs is a mohawk (which she can totally pull off with wet hair too) a kilt, tatts and some eyeliner.

And because it's TOTALLY a Friday the 13th today I give you:


Yeah R I know, tiny bike but look at the gorgeous man on it! It's all about the right kind of blinders and a trip to Egypt! (also I prefere to laugh instead of crying)

I just couldn't not share this with y'all when I saw it. I just love the sense of humore they have on that show. It's just so... if you've watched the show then you know what I mean.

Oh and what brough on those banners? Jon talking about the job market that's what. And being unimployed myself I ofcourse listened right away.

I came across this brilliant blog entry and felt that I had to share it with y'all.

leisureking.blogspot.com/2009/11/why-is-joss-whedon-on-your-shirt.html

I wish I could write with as much insight instead of just going into 'babble finger mode' but yeah... no dice. So I'll just settle for sharing with y'all when I find people who can.

Seriously I love my shirt and whenever I wear it I'm always paying attention to the people around me to see if someone shows signs of someone being in the know.

Something truly wonderful is happening right now...

Yep that's true - my full-on tight Levi's that I haven't been able to fit into comfortably since... well sometime in 2007 I guess.

So yeah that's happening... It also means I've lost 14.3kg as of last night (31ish pounds in American) which is just; o/

Yeah I SO couldn't help myself LOL



I just love it when my Verses can get mixy with one another like this.

Seriously - Supernatural 5X08 was MADE for Motivator fun!

( If you haven't watched the lastest episode of Supernatural stay out! )

Yeah I know I'm spamy but...



yeah I really need it to be June like nawh!

Seriously - is something happening in the world of Star Wars?

Why you ask? Well that particular Fandom seems to be EVERYWHERE around me these days!

I mean... First I find those cute little oneseys for Princess I (oh we've got a few tshirts tugged away for later on in the back of the closet that Boyfriend bought like a million years ago) Then ofcourse Sammy once again outs himself as a Star Wars geek in 'TCCODW' AND then last night as I was watching The Daily Show... Well yeah Star Wars refs GALORE! Apparently Obama is a jedi (who knew?) and Cheney once again got compaired to Darth Vader.

Which ofcourse made me turn to Boyfriend and say; "is something happened in the SW-verse that you haven't geeked out about to me?" and ofcourse he just gave a blank stare. It's nice to know that even after close to 10 years later he still doesn't speak fluent 'me' LOL
