I don’t know if i should post this or not…… but I just wanted to share what a wonderful person I have found that loves me and who I love. This is a Skype msg I got the other day when I woke up:

“I am honored and grateful to be in your life and to be a person you want to talk to.

I admire and respect you, more than I act sometimes, but it is always in my heart and soul to support you and nurture you on your journey. I more than love you.

There are no words for what I feel for you, with you, away from you, near you, only that your love makes me believe in God and that the universe loves me.

I KNOW that the universe especially loves you because you have so much compassion and generosity. Be gentle with yourself and know you are so loved.”

What can I say……words are not really enough…this is the real thing

Christmas eve has come and gone again.

As usual we ate way to much and felt stuffed the whole night.

We spent Christmas as my sisters house this year and YES, Santa came to our house too and everyone got presents @@, I know..i was surprised too, not that Santa came but the fact that all of us got presents

I tried to give Santa a break this year by being as naughty as I could, obviously not naughty enough;)
hahahha
I have to make up for that next year!

My sister made the most delicious pickled herring you can imagine. Several different variations!
(I know that that sentence might sound strange to some people hahahha)
We had pate’s, ham, meatballs, sausages, eggs, different cold sauces and salads,  salmon, bred, pies……..something for everyone. It was a great night. We did not get home until midnight hahaha

We got snow this Christmas too. I love that!

So today, the day after Christmas I am going to take a walk. There is no wind and a couple degrees below freezing. Perfect! After that I will jsut hang and eat leftovers, play games and spend time with friends that decided they wanted to come over….this is going to be a great day!

Something to think about:

“What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?”

This is what I mean when I say that I get sidetracked and why this blog is called Besides Work

Last night i was looking at the sports pages in one of the daily papers site. I was reading about the Swedish handball team, that took me to the Norwegian handball team which I have to say are better then the Swedish team I know I know….I am a Swede in my soul even tho I live in the US…..cant help it, when a Swedish team is playing, I am on the barricades cheering…

OK, back to the handball…..the Norwegian team…..that took me to GRO Hammerseng! Goodness, how could I have missed her all this time!!!! I thought I was pretty up to date with the sports profiles, but obviously NO. Where has she been all my life!!?? I know she is dating this woman Katy…but still…..From now on she is on my “women I could cheat with without it being cheating” list that me and my girlfriend has. -It is almost like the list that they had on the series Friends: you can choose 1 or 2 people that it would be ok to be with even if you are in a  relationship. For example, for a long time Jill Hennessy from Crossing Jordan and Cote de Pablo from NCIS has been on mine (of course Ashley Judd has a spot there too) and my gf has Marg Helgenberg and Queen Latifah.-

Now one of my spots has to go after seeing this woman….not only is she a stunningly beautiful woman she is the best handball player I have seen in a long time and humble and considerate…so not only did i find out that she is a great handball player, she won the awards for best role model too at an sports award ceremony in Norway…gosh everything in one package……so of course i ended up spending over 1 hour looking at clips about her on youtube……obviously I am not the only one liking her looking at the amount of videos made to her “glory” hahahhaha
well..that was my “getting off the track while working” experience for today..I have to say, i have had worse ones, believe me!

Here is a few of the videos I found

In the book that is my memory,
on the first page of the chapter when I met you,
are written the words:
“Here begins a new life”

My own little Christmas tree

I Just had to add this, I dunno…what is a woman to think about statements like these…

Best of George W B so far………

“The George W. Bush Presidential Library” is now in the planning stages and accepting donations.

The library will include many famous quotes by George W. Bush:

1. ‘The vast majority of our imports come from outside the country.’
2. ‘If we don’t succeed, we run the risk of failure.’
3. ‘Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child.’
4. ‘No senior citizen should ever have to choose between prescription drugs and
medicine.’
5. ‘I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy – but that could change.’
6. ‘One word sums up probably the responsibility of any Governor, and that one word is ‘to be prepared’.’
7. ‘Verbosity leads to unclear, inarticulate things.’
8. ‘I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future.’
9. ‘The future will be better tomorrow.’
10. ‘We’re going to have the best educated American people in the world..’
11. ‘One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures.’ (during an education photo-op)
12. ‘Illegitimacy is something we should talk about in terms of not having it.’
13. ‘We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not
occur.’
14. ‘It isn’t pollution that’s harming the environment. It’s the impurities in our air and water that are doing it.’
15. ‘I stand by all the misstatements that I’ve made.’(George W.Bush to Sam Donaldson)
