For some reason there was a lot of traffic, I would have thought that people would be going the other way coming back from the beach but it seems everyone was going my way! Finally arrived at Great Wolfs Lodge around 7 pm, checked in and sat down on the balcony to breathe for a minute, then Justin and everyone arrived 😀 Got them settled in the room then we went for dinner, they had a nice buffet at the lodge.

Day 2656
Lazy wakeup in my own bed…Hotel beds can be comfy but nothing beats my own bed LOL! The day was spent with Witcher 3 moving towards the ending. I did decide to start the missions in the expansion packs, “Hearts of Stone” and “Blood and Wine“, decided to start with Hearts of Stone since apparently I have to level up more to be able to do Blood and Wine 🙂 Started collecting supplies and money to finish up one of the quests 🙂 Yeah fun times!
Day 2657 Lazy wake up then back to Witcher 3…I was supposed to have done laundry but I made the, extremely foolish, decision to do laundry by hand instead of going down to the laundry room…pretty stupid decision LOL, I probably spend more time wringing out wet clothes then it would have taken to just go down and use the machines!! Yeah sometimes I make bad decisions hehehehe. Made sure to finish playing at a decent time, work tomorrow 😀
Day 2658 Up in the am, read my email saw the emails with the Yahoo news, Verizon has agreed to acquire Yahoo, now all we are waiting for is the regulatory approval…yeah that might take 6 months or more 😀 Off to work, good busy day. As I walked outside to go home there was a Storm with super down pour, lightning and thunder! I came home soaking wet to the point where I had to go straight to the bathroom to get undressed so that I could wring out my clothes in the bathtub! Spent the evening on Witcher 3 got to a point where I am doing the ending of the Hearts of Stone pack decided to turn off or I would have been sucked in and played all night LOL Went to Hulu to see what Korean dramas were on…so sad not many KDramas on Hulu anymore! But then I found the Dramafever app on the Amazon Fire TV…my heart skipped a beat in happiness 😀 Found a KDrama with Top that I started watching then it was off to bed!
Day 2659 Did the snooze for an hour…so hard to get up this morning! Off to work, had a good day! We had Joel Kinnaman at AOLBUILD today, he was promoting Suicide Squad!! In the interview he talks about used condoms, dildos, cusses, and acts just like a regular Swede 😀 Had a little chat when he was walking out, it was a little funny they came and told me that after our little chat when they were walking away he had said to them “Yeah we have our own little secret language” Too funny!! Back home finished the Drama with TOP then started “Madame Antoine” with Sung Joon. So he is not a pretty boy like they usually have in these dramas, but OMG can he deliver a kiss scene! Makes your heart beat just a little faster than it should…yeah he is way too young for that!!! ROTFL!! Then it was off to bed since tomorrow is work!
Day 2660 Did not want to wake up this morning at all LOL Did manage to get up and make my way to work, good day at work then home for some more Madame Antoine…got sucked in and went to bed way too late 😀
Day 2661 Slow wake up in the am, breakfast then off to work. Good day at work, got to see Matt Damon, even though he is one of those that the girls I work with are more excited about seeing then I am LOL Back home after work finished up Madame Antoine, I will admit they hit some weak spots of mine and made me shed some tears 😀
Day 2662 Weird morning, while I was having breakfast and watching a new KDrama “Neighborhood Hero” I had this weird burning pain in the middle of my abdomen, it was like a flower, started as a bud and then bloomed outwards it was so painful that I broke out in sweat! I ended up laying down for a bit before heading out to work. So quiet at work today, noone was in LOL Had Otto’s Tacos for lunch, omg so good!! Found out there is one halfway on my way home from work 😀 I am guessing there will be more Otto’s Tacos in my life 😀 Back home for some more KDrama then off to bed!
Day 2663
Had big plans for the day, laundry, cleaning apartment, etc…yeah that did not happen…instead Finished the KDrama and started another “Vampire Detective“, yeah two of my faves combined…Vampires and detective stories LOL so needless to say this is what I did all day then off to bed 😀
Day 2664
So I went to bed yesterday at a decent time around midnight, woke up around 6 took my meds and then went back to bed for another hours sleep…well my body felt differently since I did not wake up again until Noon LMAO yep 12 hours of sleep 😀 I am not complaining though had good dreams 😀 Had some breakfast and watched some drama, then I was getting things together to go and do laundry and I manage to slam my toe into the bookshelf by the bed…yeah not my best moment…cussing like a sailor while tears came out of my eyes LOL I am sure that was a sight! Spent the rest of the day with my foot up high with an ice pack, can’t put any pressure on my middle toes without it hurting like hell! Ahh well I guess my laundry was destined to not get done today either LOL now it is time to wrap up the day…work tomorrow!
Day 2642-2655 in NYC and Virginia

Day 2642
Soo I may have exaggerated a bit with the gaming yesterday LOL I was all excited since the game was so awesome, the graphics were absolutely stunning…to the point where I was climbing a mountain and the camera panned out and down and I literally felt that sucking feeling in my stomach as if the image was real and I was getting vertigo LOL Astounding! As I am playing all of a sudden I realize it is light outside again…oops it was 6:15 in the morning LMAO!! Yeah I guess a little sleep break was warranted 😀 Woke up a couple of hours later then back to the game 😀 Finished up Uncharted…yeah I liked the story, I liked the game play, and I like the graphics…all in all a fun game 😀
Of course now I am in gaming mode so I picked up Witcher 3 again…this is one of those games where I had a long weekend to play when I started it but then it turned out it was so massive I never got a chance to finish it. Then of course new Assassins Creed games came out so I sort of put it on a shelf 🙂 Well I dusted it off and started where I had left off! This is another really good game it has a really large map, lots of side missions, and tons of monster caves etc. I ended up traveling to a place called Skellige…so it is up in the north with ice and snow…yep the people all dress and act like “vikings” except they put horns on their helmets LOL Did go to bed at a somewhat regular time 😀
Day 2643
Back to Witcher 3 and Skellige. Fun conversations had and I managed to get a Queen selected instead of a King…yeah cause I roll like that LMAO!! Killed monsters and ran down trying to get as much treasure as possible to be able to get better swords and upgrades. So one of the things with Skellige is that a lot of the treasures are underwater and I am just not comfortable under water in the sea…even if there are no sharks LMAO!!! Put the game away tidied up the apartment and then it was time to head to bed!
Day 2644
Always a little hard to get up in the morning on Mondays since I ruin my whole sleep schedule on the weekends LOL I did get off to work though! Busy day at work making sure everything was set up for the Event Bill was having over the next couple of days. I got to see Viggo Mortensen today! Yeah he is as cool in real life as he is on screen…definitely eye candy!!
Back home after work for some more Witcher 3, I am moving on with the next part in the main story which is to collect this creature that has a curse on him/her and try to remove the curse!! Lots of cut scenes…I like it 😀 Then time to head to bed!
Day 2645
Up early had to be at work early for the event to make sure everything set up ok. Got to work all good everything set, meeting start on time ;D Busy day, got everyone off to the dinner then headed home for…guess…yes!! Witcher 3 😀 So many side missions!
Day 2646
Off to work in the am. Good day at work, go to see The Cousins which was exciting…then even more exciting Benjamin Bratt totally age appropriate eye candy!! Wow is all I can say 😀 Total charmer! Sent the boss off in the afternoon for his mini vacation. Home and back to some more Witcher 3…no I am not obsessed…well ok maybe a little 😀
Day 2647
Another day another dollar 😀 up and at them in the morning! Work was calm got caught up on a lot of things! Back home in the afternoon to play some more Witcher 3…I know this game does not end! Right now I am roaming the world to find people to play Gwent with…I know a game within the game LMAO!! Off to bed a little late since I decided to sort of take the day off tomorrow!
Day 2648
Up in the am, was going to play my game but I ended up catching up to Orphan Black instead and working most of the day 😀 You know what they say about best laid plans LOL Did start the gaming later in the evening! Finishing up some side missions before heading to the ending of the main mission! Stayed up a little too late playing…but then again I do believe I am a teenager LOL
Day 2649
Lazy wakeup…yes I do love those! Watched some more Orphan Black then back to Witcher 3! Got a text from Beth we decided to meet up for drinks and dinner, we got Ramen from Zundo-ya…yummylicious!! Both my friend and I sat thinking about the fact that in this Japanese Ramen place there were no Asians in the kitchen…that was a little different 😀 I know in the past when we have gone there used to be an Asian chef but today there were none…I guess the knowledge was passed on to the other chefs in the kitchen…maybe I need to get a job as a chef there then when I know how to cook their Ramen I can head to the next place…then I can make my own delicious Ramen at home!!! On the other hand then I would not get the pleasure of eating out 😀 After Ramen we headed over to Black & White for some drinks…always nice with a little Malibu Bay Breeze in the summer!
Back home I powered up the PS4 and went back to Witcher3! I did go to bed somewhat early, around 1 am, since I am supposed to do laundry tomorrow!
Day 2650
Weird wakeup! Had this dream that made no sense at all, I was with my Nephew, but he had a different face, and my newphews father, who had a different face too, and we were having this conversation about my nephews sons. We had this disagreement on bringing them to this concert…and no I was not the reasonable sane person saying that children should not go to concerts LOL I had bought them these headsets to cover their ears…so in retrospect I would not go to a concert since I hate crowds, and I sure wouldn’t bring small children to a concert LMAO ahh well like I said the dream made no sense at all! So I turned around and slept a little more LMAO Eventually I did get up, had some breakfast while watching Orpan Black then it was time to play some more Witcher 3…so I started on the, what I thought, last main mission! Well it turned out it was not the last one!! There was more to come after WoooHoooo 😀 Needless to say there was no laundry done…luckily it was not one of those weeks where I had to do laundry or dress in grown up clothes the rest of the week LOL As I am sitting there I am realizing that I did not see my DLC’s I bought when I checked the main menu last, so I looked into that. Turned out the downloads had failed, restarted the down loads and kept playing. I was getting ready to save and turn off, since work day tomorrow, but I couldn’t LOL I had to wait until the downloads were done!! So I kept playing a little later than I should have…ahh well there was nothing I could do I had to wait until I could Save 😀
Day 2651
Will admit it was a little hard to get up this morning, but I did get up! Off to work, really good day at work. Karl Urban was in the office today! He has had parts in a lot of movies I like, Doom, Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Riddick, and more 😀 Headed out to walk home from work and just as I stepped out o the building it started Pouring down there was lightning and thunder…lovely…I see all the people huddled under store awnings and I thought to myself “It’s warm, who cares about a little rain” LOL well I did arrive home completely soaked 😀
Finished up the evening with some Witcher 3 then off to bed!
Day 2652
Good wakeup off early to work had to make sure everything prepped before travel tomorrow. On my walk to work I made the decision to stop with the whole eye candy thing! After all it could be considered demeaning to refer to someone as eye candy as if they had no other value, since the people at my job are all very intelligent I should not refer to them as eye candy…that was my decision this morning! Had a good day at work, very busy but I like that. The AV guys installed a mic in our CEO’s office this evening and to test it his Chief of Staff was singing a little song as I was walking out so of course I start laughing!! Caught the eye of a co-worker who asked where it was coming from told him where it was and who was singing shared a little laugh 🙂 With that all my resolve about not thinking eye candy has flown out the window!! ROTFL…also just to clarify to everyone out there who may be reading this, eye candy is just that Eye candy something pretty to look at 😀
Spent the evening packing for the trip tomorrow, finished last season of Orphan Black, made sure all electronics were charging, then off to bed!
Day 2653
Finished packing the electronics then got a car to go to the office, yeah a little too warm to be lugging suitcase around LOL Good morning at work, made sure the boss had everything he needed for his trip, he was leaving a little later than me. Car to the train and I will admit I did a personal upgrade to first…yeah I may be a tad bit spoiled! Good train ride, gotta love the personal hotspot on the iPhone! Great WiFi all the way to DC. Arrived and picked up the car and then headed out in total traffic! Yep remember why I love not having to drive a car in NY ;D Decided to take a longer route to the hotel since I did not feel like being stuck in traffic on 495, ended up on 29 going to Falls Church then a turn onto 7…took 7 through Tyson’s before getting on the Tollroad the rest of the way 🙂 While driving through Tyson’s I was amazed at all the changes! The metro is all built with overpasses to get to the station, looks great! I also saw a halfway demolished building with what looked like an apartment on top 😀
Got to Lansdowne without any major issues, checked into the room and went down to get some food…so I had been considering their Loaded Fries yummy decadence with cheese, bacon and sourcream…well Noo they had changed their menu and now it was all healthy crap!! No fun at all! Ahh well I had to eat something so I picked pulled chicken that had a side of veggies and tolde them No veggies and a side order of fries, nope turns out it was not a side of veggies it was all mixed in with the chicken so I had to pick something else. Well since everything else had Veggies in it I had to go with a burger…and I remember from the past that they serve it on a potato bun so I was not really looking forward to it, but again have to eat! Had a drink while waiting for my food then up to the room for dinner and a movie 😀 Wasn’t many choices when it came to movies but found one with Gerard Butler I think it was called Gods of Egypt or something like that, all good nice age appropriate eye candy while eating is not a bad thing 😀 After the movie time to head to bed!
Day 2654
Off to work in the morning, feels strangely familiar to be driving to work in the morning, sort of like I never left but at the same time there are so many new things that have cropped up 😀 Busy day, making sure Bill had everything he needed, running around for a couple of impromptu meetings. Ran into some people I had not seen in a long time 😀 Found out some awesome news from iMandrews 😀 Had lunch with Helen outside got caught up, we were meeting with Jennifer later for Dinner. Day went by real quick! Went with Jennifer to Hotel to drop car and bag then off to check out her little cozy single girls pad!! Super cute! After that off to On The Border for some cheese dip, some chips and awesome salsa, some tacos and then I was so full I almost died…but we did get a churros with caramel inside to share LMAO then I was ready to just die!!! But it was an awesome dinner with Jennifer and Helen 😀 Back to the Hotel and passed out LOL
Day 2655
Off to work in the am, got a chocolate croissant for breakfast 😀 Busy but good morning! Lunch with Helen then all of a sudden it was time for our afternoon event 😀 Got to chat with some old co-workers I hadn’t seen for a while 😀 It was funny when one of the guys asked me what I did to get younger LMAO such a good liar 😀 Boss headed out then it was time for me to pack up. Drive into DC was uneventful, got a seat on the earlier train was a little concerned since the train kept popping on the track…yeah I don’t know how else to describe it. There would be a large popping sound and then the train car would lurch to the side…not very comforting LOL
Arrived safe and sound at NY Penn 😀 Got in my car and then I got taken on a tour of the city LOL the guy went all the way down to the lower end of West Village so I thought he was going to east and get on 4th St, but no he was lost so he ended turning around and going back up to 14th St LOL well I did finally arrive home! Now I am just going to play a little Witcher 3 then it is off to bed 😀
LOTSA LOVE!!!

Day 2639
Up in the am after having snoozed for over an hour LOL…I think I will break that snooze button soon LOL Quick breakfast then off to work! Narrowed down the choices for houses in France next summer, and put a bid on one of them 🙂 Good day at work, did get some work eye candy 😀 Boss kept me busy which is always good!
Back home after work headed back to London with Assassins Creed Syndicate to continue dealing with Jack the Ripper…it was time to Finish him!! Well as I am down in this creepy cellar trying my best to assassinate him and nothing I do work! I am beating the crap out of him and he does not die LOL so I ended up having to google to figure out how to kill him…and the solution was so simple! Back to the basics Cover assassination!! So finally killed him Yay!! Then it was time to head to bed! Still have to finish up the main part of the game, I think there is only one mission left 😀
Day 2640
Up in the am and my internet was down! Extremely annoying, tried rebooting everything but still no luck! Ended up calling the cable company and they are coming tomorrow to hopefully fix things! Off to work in the am and it is getting a little hot and humid here in NY, I guess there is a heat wave going on…yes I like it LOL. Good day at work, busy, and eye candy…just the way I like it LOL Home after work to finish up Assassin’s creed! Well actually I ended picking up in the house instead since the cable guy was coming LOL Internet worked when I got home and I contemplated canceling the appointment but then I thought nahh let’s wait and see if it works tomorrow morning…I had barely finished thinking that thought when it went down again LOL then it was on and off for the rest of the evening so nothing else to do but go to bed LOL
Day 2641
Worked from home while waiting for the cable guy, luckily I have a personal hotspot on my iPhone since guess what…Internet was still down LOL When the cable guy showed up he tested all the connections and then found what was wrong. The cable coming in from the outside had water damage and the cable inside the house had oxidation damage…so all the cables had to be switched out! By the time that was done it was too late to head into work so I finished up the day from home.
Once work was done finished Assassins Creed!! Yay that was the last mission…which I finished with flying colors…and then I got a reward from the Queen of England 😀 Now one might think the game was finished…but no they give some more side missions to do for the Queen after the final mission is done 😀 Did the little side missions and then it was all done! Started playing Uncharted 4 while waiting for my grocery delivery…the game is awesome!! Love the graphics and it has a setting that allows you to focus more on the story than the shooting…yeah that’s the setting for me LOL Now I am just going to play a little bit more than jump in bed 😀
LOTSA LOVE!!!

Fasting this morning, yep it was time for that Yearly physical that I did the last time in 2008 LMAO yeah I know I am not very good at going to the Dr…until I am so sick I have to call the ambulance LMAO!! I do like the new Primary Physician I have found though so hopefully she will stick around for a while!
Off to work after the poking and prodding. All the execs were off at an offsite meeting, had a good day catching up on stuff while listening to Wynonna Earp, really like this show and I am getting closer to the end…I am not sure I like that LOL.

Day 2632
Chatted with my boss in the morning he needed a cap for the Walk on the High Line event they were doing in the afternoon. Scrunged up a cap from home and then I contacted the women at work to see if we had any AOL swag lying around…and we did Phew 🙂 Got to work made sure all the people who traveled in for the meeting had hats…didn’t want anyone to get heat stroke 😀 Sent the group off to their walk, finished up some last minute things and then I headed off to meet up with the group at The Standard Biergarten, my boss claimed I was meeting them there just to make sure I got the first beer LOL The group was running a little late but no worries I am always prepared…so I sat reading on my Kindle while waiting for them 😀 We had a stammtich reserved, super concept where you have your own beer taps right at the table 😀 We had Pretzels, sausage, and some desserts that came our way…yummy but ohh so salty! Tasted their dark Lager, it was actually really good 🙂
Walked over to Sockerbit after the festivities then home for some more Galactica before letting my head hit the pillow!
Day 2633
Off to work in the am, listened to a couple of episodes of Wynonna Earp while working. Headed over to Best Buy after work to get the new Uncharted 4 game, took Friday off to have a couple of days of playing…when I walked out from work I had jokingly told one of my co-workers that if I was still playing at 4 am I would give her a wake up call since she had a 6 am train to catch…well so I did not play the game instead I wanted to finish watching Galactica first…and there was more left than I though so by 4 am I was still watching LMAO I did send LT a text to make sure she was awake then I finished up the series and headed off to bed!
Day 2634
Had a teenager wakeup around 1 pm…yeah I know I am bad LOL got some breakfast then I was getting ready to start playing my game…got a text from my old boss Family in town want to meet up later in the afternoon? Of course I wanted to! Figured I could finish up playing the Assassins Creed Syndicate before heading out…started playing and realized A/ There was new download content B/ I had more left in the story than I thought C/ I still had the Jack Ripper story to play…hmm this is going to be a great weekend! Played for a bit then I headed over to Curtis and Kathleen, we all went to Lower East side to a tiny little Chinese joint with the Best dumplings I have had! So good!!! I mean food orgasmic good!! Walked back towards their house and then over to West Village, we had some time to kill before going to see this Korean horror movie that they were showing at IFC, “The Wailing“, so we went to The Half Pint and had some drinks…just to gather a little courage before the movie LOL just kidding!!

Posted by Camilla on June 27th, 2016 filed in NY UpdatesComment now »
Day 2627
Worked from home, while binge watching “Battlestar Galactica“, you always get much more done when there are no interruptions 🙂 Spent the evening at home playing games then off to bed!
Day 2628
Woke up really late slept over 12 hours, did not feel that great. I was supposed to have met up with a friend to go to the movies but I ended up canceling. Spent the day at home resting. Looked at houses for the trip to France next summer, I do have to figure out exactly who is coming with me so that I can plan accordingly. Off to bed at a somewhat regular time.
Day 2629
Finally got to putting the electronics back, realized that there were things I did not hook up properly…so now I have to figure out how the hell I am going to hook up things on the back of the TV…Arrrrgghhh! Ahh well it’s all good I will figure that out another day LOL I think I want to get another sound system set up though…have to think about that one for a bit 😀 Kept binge watching Galactica…almost done with the Season 3, only one season left!
Day 2630
Up in the am with a spring in my step…yeahh not that did not happen LOL I did get up though and made my way to work.
Work was good, in the afternoon went up to the Hyatt to check in my Boss at the hotel, on the way back to the office saw a beefcake (man with big big muscles) running down the street in only shorts and nothing on top….all I can say is man boobs really go up and down LOL so much muscles that I think his boobs were bigger than mine 😀
Met up with Kathleen after work, passed my house changed into sneakers then off to East River, took the River Park Amphitheater exit then up back to 5th for dinner at Minca…Chicken Ramen…yummylicious!! As always great fun with Kathleen 😀 Finished up the evening with some more Battlestar Galactica and now it is time to head to bed!!

Day 2623
Monday morning…what can I say…alarm clock wake up just does not sit well with me LOL I guess it is lucky for my co-workers that I get up really early so that they don’t have to deal with Morning-Me 😀
Off to work, nice and warm weather…LOVE THIS!!!…busy day at work then lunch time comes around and I am going to go get some lunch for my boss. Well a slight problem there, I can’t find my Corporate credit card…start thinking off when I used it last, well it was last Thursday when I got lunch for the boss. Then came the problem of trying to figure out what I wore that day…yeah I have problems remembering what clothes I put on that morning let alone the week before LOL I guess I have to go through pockets when I get home! Got the lunch on my personal card, now I just have to remember to expense it! Lots of running around at work today, skipped lunch…which is never good! Spoke to Lovisa to see about dinner, they wanted to do late dinner around 8:30-9 and I felt that was a little too late for me since I had an early start at work. So no dinner with Family tonight 🙂
Home from work, first thing was look for my corp card…well it was in the pocket of the shirt I wore the other day 😀 I was supposed to take care of all the electronics this evening…well that did not happen LOL spent a quiet evening at home watching “The Last Ship” and playing mindless games LOL
Day 2624
Up early, lots to do today! Got to work had some visitors come in for the boss. Finalized his itinerary for his travel the rest of the week. Got him off to his lunch and offsite meeting ok then it was time to breathe 😀 Chatted with Lovisa and made dinner plans for later in the evening. Had a country star at AOL Build today Wheeler Walker Jr…hmmm yeahh Country music is just not for me!! It’s all about breakups and feel sorry for me…well in my mind all I can say is “Get over it!!” anyway, the song they played “Fuck you B***h” the lyrics were also extremely offensive…and it did not make the song any better LOL Ahh well the audience were happy 😀
Back home finished up the work day and then I headed over with the family to Cooper’s Craft & Kitchen in East Village, I must admit today I was a little disappointed, their food is usually Very good, today it was only good! Ahh well, it was still a nice dinner with good conversation. Walked back home said good bye to the family since they are heading out tomorrow. Finished up the evening with some “The Last Ship” then it was off to bed!
Day 2625
Up in the am and off to work, nothing eventful happened at work today, at lunch time I looked at some Thailand trips, hopefully I will be able to book soon! Something really funny happened. I was looking through my private email for a password reset to an account I have for work, I see an email from Amazon about a settlement with Apple and that there would be a credit on my account…so I open up a new web page, yeah you never click on links in emails like that even if you think they may be legit, go to Amazon and Lo and Behold I have $429 in my account!!! WoooHoooo!!! So it seems they reimbursed part of the books I purchased between 2010-2012, well it seems I read a lot of new books those years 😀 Now I can start shopping for new books!! Color me Happy 😀 On my walk back from lunch I had a random smile inducing eye contact with a very handsome man…ok hot not handsome I was trying to sound classy LOL…we both kept walking and when I reached the other side of the street I turned to look, and he turned at the same time to look back at me LOL well I got another smile 😀
On my walk home, since I have stopped reading and walking out of concern for my eyesight, I sometimes get these random thoughts! So today I was thinking back to a comment my mom made how people remember things differently, and it is true. That lead me to think about how much you forget of your past. For example I have a friend who spent a lot of time in hospitals and did not have the opportunity to have a lot of new experiences, she remembered everything from when we were teenagers, she remembered things that I had conveniently forgotten…she was always happy to remind me of those occasions LOL. For me, most of my childhood is gone I have some distinct memories where I can remember how I felt but most of those are bad memories. It makes me wonder why your brain would choose to hold on to the bad stuff and not the good stuff, is it in self preservation to ensure you never put yourself in such a situation again? or is it just that those terrifying moments have so much more impact on your memory cells? I remember more of my teenage years but even there it is not really connected with sights, sound, and feeling, they are more memories like where you watch a movie and you know you were happy, scared, bored, or sick…but these memories do not have that same impact as the terrifying memories from my childhood. For example, when I was a kid visiting my grandma I was going to the basement in the apartment building to put away the bike I had used. One of my cousins and my sister decided that it would a good idea to hide in the dark basement to scare me as a joke…yeah I did not think it was funny LOL When I think back to that memory I can still remember the terror, my heartbeat accelerates and I can feel myself start sweating, even after all this time I am still physically affected by this memory. By the way I love my sister and my cousin and I know they did not mean to terrify me to that point, but it is one of those memories that have stayed with me 🙂 In comparison there is another memory, also from a visit to my grandparents, I went to see my Uncle Dick’s apartment and I saw his bookshelf!!! OMG it was amazing, it had all these SciFi books and I know that when I saw this I went all warm and happy inside and I remember thinking this is what I want one day! Even though this memory is very vivid and I remember going all warm inside, when I look at this memory the sensation of that warm feeling does not come back like it does with the terror filled moment in the basement. Like I said really random thoughts on my walk home LOL
Back home after work, relaxed finished watching Season 2 of “The Last Ship” of course cliffhanger ending! Well Season 3 has started but that one is only available on the TV networks site so I have to watch it on the computer and there are commercials…I am contemplating just leaving it alone and then wait until season 3 comes on Hulu 😀 Started re-watching “Battlestar Galactica” yep one of the best series that I have seen! Finished up the evening with that then off to bed…yeah I still haven’t arranged my electronics LMAO!!!
Day 2626
Up in the am had a late start today! Got to work and eye candy was already there…that usually never happens LOL Good day at work caught up on “Wynona Earp” episodes! Got a dose of another eye candy when I went to get lunch…not a bad day LOL. After work went to Happy Hour for Sam, she is moving to Chicago! Super excited for her since she will be closer to her family but it is sad for her AOL family! Fun Happy Hour with good conversations!!
Got tired of all the Asian spammers so I switched it so that anyone that wants to comment have to login, well it seems to be working! Earlier today when I checked I was still up to about 45 spams per day, this evening there is nothing!!Yay 😀
Now it is way past time to head to bed!
LOTSA LOVE!!!

Still going with the fan only no AC…I am curious to see how long I will be able to do this LOL Slow start this morning, got to work almost noone there 😀 People have already started traveling to Europe for Cannes next week 😀 Good day at work, got some eye candy which is never wrong 😀
Met up with Christer, Lovisa and Jonathan after work took them to Gyu-Kaku…yes yummylicious Meat fest 😀 Walked back to my place after for some coffee for Christer 😀 Chatted for a bit then they headed back to their BnB and I stayed up for a bit watching TV before heading to bed.
Day 2621
Up in the am…had a game plan to do laundry in the morning then empty the cupboards under the TV since the family was coming to help me move it later in the afternoon. Weeellll sooo I ended up sitting playing mindless games into the afternoon when I started rushing to clear the shelves of video consoles 😀 Family came over Jonathan helped me move the cupboards with the TV on it, yeah it was Heavy!! Behind it was a mess with so much dust!! Good thing I have a good vacuum 😀 Put back the essential with Christer’s help and then it was time to put the TV back in place…man that TV is Really Heavy! Definitely need movers whenever I leave here LOL
After the move we went over to Black Iron Burger got some food…we ended up doing take out since the place was packed! Went back to the house and watched “He never died” it was really good! a little quirky, a little funny, a little action, a little disgusting LOL all in all a very good movie 😀 After the dinner and the movie the family headed back to theirs and I ended up watching some TV before heading to bed.
Day 2622
Up in the am and met up with the family, headed over to Cafe Orlin for some brunch…yummy as usual 😀 Back to the apartment got my stuff together to do laundry. I will admit that I did cave in and turned the AC on!! Managed to get two machines in the laundry room but when I got back to get the loads out of the washing machine there were no available driers…so the apartment is now full of hanging laundry 😀
Was supposed to take care of the consoles and go through the games after but I really did not feel like it soo…I didn’t LMAO!!! Binge watched “The Last Ship” and played mindless games the rest of the day! Now it is time to wrap up I have to go to work tomorrow 😀
LOTSA LOVE!

It has been non stop, good non stop, since I came home so I have to do one of these Bulk uploads again 😀
Day 2615
Spent the morning packing my bags then my Sister Sanna checked in to see if I wanted to do lunch with her and Thomas, we ended up going to Cafe Kajkante…really nice place with good food! Had an open faced shrimp sandwich and then for dessert a “Chokladbiskvi” yeah there is no translation LOL The bottom part is a chewy almond cake, then you have a dome on top filled with a buttercream covered with chocolate…Delicious!!!
Back home to mom’s to finish up the packing. My little sister Lina came with Nova, Ella, and Cloe to say good bye. We played a round of “A till Ö” I must admit it is getting harder for me to figure out what things are called in Swedish LOL They all left, I had some dinner with Mom and Gunnar then it was time for me to head out.
Arrived at the Hotel, nice room watched a movie then it was time to put my head down!
Day 2616
Good wakeup, had some breakfast, prepped my bags for the trip then it was time to walk to the gate. I really do love the whole concept of airport hotels inside the walkway between Terminals!! In the morning you don’t need to rush, they have airport departure signs right outside so you know what is going on with your flight…my flight ended up being an hour late so I could take my time in the morning!
Checked out and made my way over to my Terminal, checked in to get my Boarding pass. When I was talking to the attendant she let me know they had a special on upgrades and to go see the Service Center after the passport control to see if I could purchase an upgrade. Walked pass the toll free shopping, got some necessities LOL yeah Candy!!, then continued on towards my gate. Stopped by the Service Center and I managed to get an upgrade to Economy Plus 😀 That gave me access to the lounge so back out towards the toll free shopping to get to Gate 1…when I am almost there I realize I left my bag with goodies at the Service Center…ohh the horror my Candy!! Came into the lounge and went to the attendant who was on the phone, before I even had time to say anything he goes…by any chance are you Eva? and I go yes! so he tells me they have my bag at the Service center and I can pick it up before I go to the gate! Phew my candy is safe LOL
Relaxed in the lounge for an hour then I headed back to the gate a little early since I really wanted a last Cinnamon bun LOL yes I do love my Swedish cinnamon buns!! Picked up my bag of goodies then it was time to go to the gate!
Plane ride was uneventful and Boring LOL Got back to the US, bag came out among the first batch and the car was waiting when I got out…smooth trip 😀 Got back home and realized the down side of having a neat apartment when you get home…you get this Urge to unpack right away LOL Spoke to Lovisa, Christer, her and Jonathan (her boyfriend) had arrived the day before. They came by, we went to Malai Marke for dinner, after food I was ready to just go to bed LOL I did unpack my bag first!! then I Crashed! Very Long day!!
Day 2617
Regular routine set in right away 🙂 Breakfast then off to work, Busy Busy at work it was great 😀 Saw Work Eye Candy 😀 Checked out the AOL BUILD schedule and it turned out that they were coming to promote the followup to Independence Day so Liam Hemsworth was coming. I reached out to Lovisa to see if she wanted me to check if I could get them in…her response was a resounding Yes LOL Went and checked with Sarah and she said she couldn’t promise seats but they could absolutely come and watch!
They all showed up a little early and when I went to check with Max about possible seats it turns out he reserved Front Row seats for them…I think Lovisa was very Happy with those seats 😀
Lovisa, Jonathan, and Christer!
After the show they all left, I went back to work. Finished up the afternoon then I met up with the others to go to dinner at a Thai restaurant that is across the street from my house, Somtum Der, good food as always 😀 I did say Thank you in Thai and the waitress was a little surprised 😀
After dinner I needed to get back to the apartment to finish up some stuff with my laptop, yeah it didn’t work properly when I got home yesterday so I had some trouble shooting to do with IT. Couldn’t get the laptop to work so I decided to take it with me to work to have someone look at it. Almost fell asleep on the couch when a friend called, had a long conversation with her and didn’t get to bed until around 11:30.
Day 2618
My body was not happy with me this morning the whole staying up late thing when jet lagged apparently does not work LOL Off to work, another busy day, still trying to get caught up on email 😀 No Eye Candy today…sniff sniff LMAO
After work I went home sat playing some mindless games and then the Swedish family came by and we all went to Black Iron Burger for the best burgers that I know 😀 I will admit that I was a little tired and really should have gone to bed instead of going to late dinner…but ohh it was worth it!! After dinner came home and did a little bit of mindless gaming then off to bed!
Day 2619
Up in the am and off to work, Boss had back to back meetings all day. Spent the day playing Calendar Tetris…at least there was Eye Candy today LMAO
After work went to meet up with Kathleen at Black and White, had drinks and good conversation! Lots of Fun! Have to make sure we get some time before they head off on vacation 🙂 Back home…updated my blog LOL and now it is time to wrap up my day!

Day 2605
Lazy wakeup in the morning, did not hear anyone leave in the morning…either I was sleeping hard or they were very quiet! Enjoyed the sun on the balcony most of the day then went to pick up Cloe from kindergarten.
Made dinner for the girls, meatballs and pasta…yummy!
Gunnar came to pick up Ella to get to Orientering training. A friend of Nova´s mom came to take her to the Sea Scouts. Cloe stayed with me we played some games and then it was time to put her to bed, she read some for me, and I must say for her age she is a great reader! Gunnar brought Ella home, while Cloe was reading for me, and then he left to pick up Nova. Ella got to read some for me, she was reading to me when Gunnar brought Nova home so he asked if that was all we were doing LOL Yep reading runs in the family 😀 Lina and Jake came home from their anniversary dinner loaded with packages for Cloe. Chatted for a while and then it was time for bed…getting up early tomorrow!!
Day 2606
Early wakeup!! Had to do Cloe´s Birthday celebration before Jake had to go to work. Cloe turned 6 years old today 😀 There was singing and lots of Presents! Lounged around the house, packed my stuff since I was going to go to Mom´s house when I got back from Monica´s. Lina came home first so we sat on the terrace for a while enjoying her new parasol! Yeah it was sort of hot 😀
Everyone else came home from school and work, I got Mom and Gunnar´s car and drove off to Nyköping to celebrate Monica, who turned 50 today, WoooHoooo!!
Went to the store with Monica to get stuff to make Tunnbrödrulle!! Yeah so it is a Hot Dog rolled in thin bread with mashed potates (except I do french fries instead) and shrimp salad…Yummylicious!!
Spent the evening chatting with Monica and Mr P, got to see a gorgeous sunset then off to bed!
Day 2607
Got up and had breakfast with Monica and Mr P. Monica was really alert and happy, we went to pick up her birthday present! She got an electric bike! Awesomeness, she won´t have to call a hospital cab to get to the store she can get on her little bike and go on her own 😀 She was giddy like a little kid! Mr P rode the bike through the city and then Monica rode it the rest of the way to their house!
Prepared the house for the party, got the tables out and cleaned all the pollen off the BBQ grill, yep that is part of summer in Sweden! Started the afternoon in a dress then had to change into pants it got so cold! That is also part of Swedish summer! Towards the end we kept moving the tables to chase the sun LOL Mr P prepared BBQ Hamburgers for us all yummy!!!
Party Girl who came for a visit 😀
Had some good conversations, got to see a lot of people I had not seen in a long time, AnnLo, Maj-Lis, Lotta, and more! Lots of fun and Monica was well enough to participate throughout the event! After everyone left, Monica, Mr P and I sat chatting for a while then it was off to bed!
Day 2608
Spent the morning with Monica then it was time to head back home to return the car. Stopped by my cousin Christer´s house to help him get car service for when he arrives in Sweden on the 12th. In return I got some homemade Kanellbullar, Toscakaka, and sockerkaka…yummylicious!!
Came home to Mom´s had some Dinner watched a bit of TV while working and updating the blog then it was time to head to bed!
Day 2609
Got up in the morning and got ready to go with Sanna and Thomas to see Pappa (Dad) Tommy. Met up with Therese our little sister on Tommy´s side. It was a nice day, not too warm and not too cold. Dad had made a Chicken Ceasar Pie yummy! For dessert he and Berit had made a rhubard and strawberry pie, I skipped dessert since lunch had been so scrumptious 😀
Fell asleep in the car on our way back home, woke up in time to stop by the store to get some Coke 😀 Lina brought Cloe over since I was taking her to the photgrapher the morning after.
Mom put Cloe to bed while I was working, then it was time for bed for me too since I had to get up fairly early to get to the photo session for Cloe…our little model!
Day 2610
Up in the am, Gunnar drove Cloe and me to Photographer. My mom took public transportation to go to the hospital for her surgery. Cloe had an awesome photo shoot, the photographer put some hair lengther on her so she ended up with this really long side pony tail…so pretty!! When we were done we walked over to my sisters house. I spent the day with Cloe, we played some games and had some lunch. Cloe had some Chicken noodles and I had Thai noodles…yummylicious!
When Lina, Jake, and the girls came home they all got ready to head out to Tuesday orientering training…yeah it´s one of those things LOL Sat and played some games whole they were away. Got a message from mom her surgery went well. Everyone came back and then it was time to go to bed since I was going to have Cloe in the morning, and I did not want a repeat performance of last year…when Cloe was too afraid to wake me up and by the time I get up I hear a little voice from the couch asking “Do you know where my dad is?” yeah worst Aunt Ever that is me!!
Day 2611
Got up before Cloe…Phew!! Had some breakfast with Cloe then we started playing Ubongo, that was fun. After that it was “Plocke Pinn” I have no clue what that is called in English! After that I gave her a Very nutritious lunch…uhh maybe not…Hot Dogs with Cheese curls and then after some Cinnamon Buns 😀 She was happy about it though…I did make sure to let Lina know this is what I fed her daughter so she heard it from me instead of Cloe LOL
Later in the afternoon my cousin Nina came to pick me up and we headed off to go into Stockholm City. When we parked the car we were walking around to find somewhere to get a parking ticket, I see this guy sitting in the sun and I say to myself I know that guy…well it was Eje 😀 chatted with him for awhile he was going to come meet up with us later at Peppar, the restaurant where I was meeting Ancha and Bosse. Nina and I headed off to a cafe close to Peppar, we had some good conversation and then all of a sudden it was time for me to go next doors! Nina headed back to Nyköping and I went to sit with Ancha and Bosse outside…after about 5 min I was ready to go inside LOL yeah it was cold!! Eje joined us and we had some dinner and drinks with lots of fun conversations!!
Took a cab home, Lina was over at mom´s she had brought my bags and some dresses for the girls for end of school ceremony. Mom seemed ok after her surgery…but then again she is on morphin so I guess we will see how it turns out once she is off those! I was too tired to work so I went straight to bed (almost fell asleep on the couch)!
Day 2612
Up in the am and had breakfast with mom, she had gotten up earlier to say Happy Birthday to Gunnar since it was his birthday! Took walk with mom after breakfast, did some work and got caught up on FB. Had some marinated herring for lunch with mom…I know sounds yummy right! LOL Started the very timed orchestration of picking up the girls! No 1 was Cloe at 1:40 in Kindergarten, then it was time to get Ella at 1:50 at school then Nova at 2 luckily in the same school 😀 We all went over to mom´s and we started to get their hair ready for the end of school ceremony.
Gunnar made swedish pancakes for breakfast, yummy! After that it was time to finish getting the girls into their new dresses and off to the ceremony, they had to be there a little earlier than us. Once we got there it was packed with people. It was very cute, the kids did some songs…and of course the one that had Ella in it was best!
We ended up not going to the pic nic after the ceremony, mom was tired and my head was tired because of all the people LMAO!!
Back home did some work, watched the finale of Swedish Biggest Loser…yeah my mom likes it LOL then it was time to head to bed!
Day 2613
This is an addition since my little sister let me know I missed a day! Seems I missed a save in my edits! Well here we go 😀
Had breakfast with mom then we walked out to meet Nova, she had no school today so she came to spend the day with us 😀 Met her in the park towards where my other sister lives, she came swoshing in on her bike 😀 Walked back to mom´s. Played a question game called A-Ö…lots of fun and I do admit some stuff I had to reply in English since I no longer remember the Swedish words LOL Of course Nova beat us, apparently she is a whiz at this game 😀 Had some lunch, I made omellettes for Mom, Gunnar, and me, Nova preferred to eat some yoghurt 😀
Spent the afternoon working, Gunnar took Nova to work out and Mom was resting 😀 Dinner was Pasta Bolognese, Nova opted for meat balls…so she is a little picky with food, wonder where she gets that from LOL After dinner Gunnar rode his boke with Nova home.
Cool girl I spent the day with!
Turned out Nova forgot her hairbrush…apparently she has a tendency to forget stuff and easily gets distracted, hmmm maybe she gets that from the same person LMAO!!!
Finished the evening working then it was time to head to bed!
Day 2614
Up in the am to get ready for family picnic! I do have to admit I am not too fond of these early mornings LOL Went to Hågelby park to meet up with the Family it was gorgeous! the weather was not too kind to us but we did get some rays of sunshine that warmed us up a bit in between the cold spells 😀
Sanna´s Boys (Thomas is missing he got into another collage 😀 )
Linas Family
Mattias Family
Mom and Gunnar with Family!
I played Kubb with my newphews (Patrik & Andreas) on one team and my sister Sanna, my niece Ella and I on the other…we were joined by Cloe too a little later in the game! We were close to winning but then Patrik took his jacket off and got serious so they ended up winning 😀 Then it was time for Birthday cake and coffee…yummy 😀 After all we were all there to celebrate the June kids birthdays, Gunnar, Patrik, Andreas, and Cloe…much fun 😀
Got back to my moms for some well deserved rest 😀 Finished up the evening booking a hotel at the airport for tomorrow, that way I don´t have to get up as early since I will be a 5-min walk from the terminal 😀 Booked car pickup for when I land on Monday…think I am all set. Now all we can hope is that the SAS strike will not affect inter continental flights…if that becomes the case I may be stuck here for a while! Now it is time to wrap up!
LOTSA LOVE!!!
