Happy Monday! It’s cold in Sweden. Winter has finally hit us (boo!) We had a nice weekend though. I spent Saturday morning giving P a haircut. He a got an electric razor/hair cutting kit for Christmas (not from me!) Anyway, I’ve never given anyone a haircut before, but it actually came out pretty well! OK, it took about 2 hours, but we saved 300 SEK! That is, 300 SEK which I promptly spent in the next part of our story entitled, P and Steph go shopping.
There are tons of sales going on right now, and the great thing is that all the winter stuff is on sale (and it’s still winter!!!) So I picked up a couple of nice sweaters at 50% off, followed by the most beautiful jacket I have ever owned – 40% off. OK, even at 40% I’m not going to admit how much I spent on the jacket (a lot,) but I love it, it’s really warm, and am sure to wear it for many years. Besides, I haven’t bought a new winter jacket in over 3 years, and I did receive some money for Christmas. (Have I justified this expense yet?)
P and I had planned to go to the grocery store after shopping. As we headed back to the parking garage I checked my watch to see if we would be able to stop in at Ikea before they closed. After watching me check my watch, P said, ”You want to go to Ikea?” I had never said a word about going to Ikea, how did he know???
20 minutes later, we were taking the obligatory lap through Ikea and looking for the dark brown wooden hangers that we had come for. I was also keeping and eye open for the mirror department. I had been wanting a full length mirror forever (wouldn’t it be nice to know if my outfit matched before getting to work!?) Anyhow, the next thing I knew, P went up to a salesgirl and asked her where the mirrors were. Again, I never said a word about mirrors, how did he know?! Perhaps we’ve reached a stage in our relationship where words are no longer necessary?
So it’s Monday morning, and still 1½ hours to go before lunch. I had a terrible stomach ache when I woke up this morning. (I don’t usually get stomach aches, or sick for that matter.) Anyway, it hurt so bad that I traded in my morning coffee for tea (this is big, people!) It’s mostly better now, but still hurts a tiny bit. What’s that about? Also, (back at work) I received two phone calls from a co-worker who works at another site. She has a knack for saying things that ruin my day. I’m glad that I usually don’t have to talk with her on a daily basis!
That’s it from my end. P works day shift this week, which is good for two reasons: 1) I actually get to see him in the evenings, and 2) it’s his week to make dinner.
I hope it’s warm where you are!
