I was given a task

They gave me the job to book the 2 work shoe companies to come and show us their selection. Now it is done. They will both be here at the same time in 2 weeks. I haven't told the other company that there'll be competition present. 
Now I can't decide if I should call her and let her know or just let her find out at that time. 
Any advice?

My order

I was so worried that I'd like all of the items and I'd have to buy them all.. Turns out most of the shoes were bad for my feet and one of the shirts wasn't all that great either. So I sent most of them back. 
I kept the 4e tops. They were cheap enough, although the material is rather crappy. Then I kept the Esprit shirt. It was ok, not perfect but.. And then I wanted to keep the running shoes but they were too big. Luckily they weren't last season's model so I could change them for half-a-size smaller. 
They promised me they'd be here tomorrow. Or the earliest would be tomorrow. We'll see. I just wish if I pay extra for an express delivery it would really come as fast as they say. 

But tomorrow is girl's night out. Thai food and dancing.

a comment about the 25 things

A and S said in their 25 things something about listening to same artist for ages at a time. I do that too sometimes. Either some artist i've recently gotten excited about or music type. Usually for about 2 weeks straight. If it's a type of music then it might last longer. 
Then after a while when listening to that same stuff again it brings back memories and feelings. 
Like Gabriella Cilmi's Sweet About Me. I haven't heard it since last summer. It made me feel like I did back then. 
But it doesn't work like that forever. Eventually I will listen to it again and again and the first memories faint. 
Or I used to listen to something while doing something. And then when doing that again felt weird without the right kind of music. 

blah blah

I actually like my hair. Oh and my lips. The rest of me is not so good. 
I managed to  find something positive I can say about myself. wohoo!

I'm really really really hungry. I need to go to lunch. Please someone let me!!

Murr!

Just my luck.. The order I've been expecting forever now arrived yesterday. But I didn't know that. Coz only about 5 minutes ago that information came available. I was at that post office yesterday after its arrival, I could have taken it with me. I could have spent last night trying on my new things. But no! Grrrr

aargh

My patience has been pushed to the limit. I cannot believe long it can take for one parcel to travel for about 150 kms. It has been lying there in the posting center for nearly 4 full days now. And there I was foolishly thinking that since it arrived there on Friday it would be here on Monday. Silly me. 

Today I have different music. Amy Pearson & Winehouse, some Metallica, Sugarland, Anna Eriksson, Sandi Thom and Stockard Channing.

it's been forever!

I suppose I could say I've been so busy lately.  And I wouldn't be lying. I actually had plans for Friday and Saturday. It's been years since I've had this busy weekend. 

First on Friday it was Sauna evening at work. I drank far too fast far too many different types of things. This caused me to be unable to leave for town with the rest of the gang. I really would have wanted to go. Dancing and/or Karaoke! What more can a girl ask for?? 

I was feeling horrible in the morning after. So weak and dizzy. Luckily the boys had left a bag of Pantteri's and some chips and I had marshmallows. With those and a huge glass of water and lots and lots of Facebooking I recovered rather quickly. After one pm I was already dancing.
Unfortunately I needed to do some grocery shopping so I had to stop and go out. At the store my hang-over returned. Decided I needed an emergency Sub. Only had a small one and ate it there. It was, as usual, extremely delicious. I did feel a bit bad for eating that since I was leaving for my sisters birthday game night and there was going to be lots of eating. But it got me back to normal and I was able to return home. 

M served fresh pineapple, yoghurt cashews, garlic bread, ??, grapes with smoked chili cheese(which btw was  great, I didn't know such thing existed), cucumber and carrot slices with dip. I was so stuffed afterwards. 

It was a successful evening to me. We played four games and guess who won three of them?? Me! haha. 

I've been thinking why I love trivial pursuit and other same type of games. It must be the feeling I get when I know something. Makes me feel good about myself if I know something. Hence most of the other types of games aren't as much fun. 

A miracle happened last week. I got an email saying I had won something!! A day or two later it arrived. It's in the post so I don't know yet what it is. Led Lenser competition. Can't be anything too interesting. But I never win anything. So it's great. 

My Ellos order moved a bit on Friday. Did I mention I ordered 4 pairs of shoes and a couple of shirts? I've been waiting for them for over a week now. Last monday they were packed. On friday they moved to the sorting center in Vantaa. Now the Itella tracking system is broken.. I've no idea if it's moved or still lying there.. I have started to really wish those running shoes fit. At the moment I'm feeling so motivated. Mostly thanks to Sheena's email this morning. But what do I do if they all fit and are great? How do I keep them all? it's 150€ worth of stuff!?! 

I started this thinking I wanted to write something fun and interesting. Now it just feels like badly written non-sense. I wish I could be more verbal. I wish I could write. 
I know I might have some somewhere. When I read my oldest posts some months ago, I wasn't at all horrified. I almost enjoyed some of the stuff. Why can't I do that anymore?

back to normal life for real this time

It's been forever since my last post. And I have time on my hands. 
i'm going to go to a café after work, meet my friends. E is going to Japan soon, again. Voy a ir a una cafetería hoy. 
R is very impatient with his new phone. It's not the same make as his old one so he calls it shit. Needs more patience to learn to use it. I'm sure it's fine. 
Sheena's road trip seems like a lot of fun. I am a bit jealous. I'm also jealous of R's friend who is in Playa del Ingles now, and everyone who can speak spanish, and everyone who lives someplace warm, and everyone who likes their job..  
15 minutes left of work. and i'm so bored. 
I have a café problem.. Do they sell milk? I mean in glasses, skimmed/fat free milk. I dont drink coffee or tea. What am i going to take there if there's nothing to drink and i dont want to get a danish or something delicious like that. 
I still dont know what to say. 

btw my new camera is super cute :)
