Fix me!

I'm at a total loss. The person I see in the mirror every morning is not me. Where did I go? Please help me.

Between red lights with Marta

No kidding

Truck driver

I'll be spending tomorrow in our truck. A big old diesel Dodge with a 53 foot trailer behind it. I will leave at 5 am to burn up some miles on the highway. Half the battle ( besides not to take out street signs and fuel pumps) is to make the right impression at the truck stops.

I will off course only listen to country music but my issue is what song to somewhat sing to as I pay for diesel at the truck stop. Oh, by the way, any one got some boots and a cowboy hat to lend me, I don't want to mahe it too obvious, I all ready know that I'll stick out like a sore thumb, I still got all my teeth.
So, which one do you think suits me best?

#500

This is my 500th post since I started blogging. Wow! 500 posts about stuff. Wow!

To be frank I have been out of sync lately, this blogging thing takes some time out of the day and I have not had that time lately, or I guess haven't taken the time would be more truthful.

For you Javi, I will try to make some time, I know that you would appreciate that.

For the rest of you, hang tight.

Supermodel

Alex excels at sports, Fia gets every ones attention. We can't take her anywhere without keeping a constant eye out for predators. No matter were you go someone comments on Fia. No wonder her brother is jealous.


I do not look forward to fending off future boyfriends, most likely it will put me back in jail ( yes I have been there) and if that is the case I will rely on my brother in laws. I have quite a few of them, Rikard, Javier, Joseph, Tim and John, the torch will be in your hands! And trust me, I don't want this pack of guys judging me if I were to date Fia.

Have I ever mentioned to you that I have the best brother in laws one could possible dream off?

You know

that the world is in a recession when even a terrorist don't use a car.

Just another weekend

Marta came down with a good old cold Friday, spent all weekend in bed. Joined by Alex on Sunday.

So, I got to spend a day alone with Fia. I haven't done that in forever. What a treat. We had a great day, went to Charlestown landing, then had lunch, Lowe's and the grocery store. Maybe it doesn't sound all that fantastic but we had fun.

Those days long ago

As I stare an awful economy in the face I found myself daydreaming away to a happy place. Growing up on the Swedish west coast, summers were what one lived for. My family sailed on a Najad every summer for 17 years. We met up with friends who sailed on their boats at various islands around the archipelago. Most all of us were sailors, we didn't hang much with stink potters ( power boaters).

It's nice to have memories like this, I wonder what my children will remember of their childhood as happy days?
