Do you run to the copymachine?


Is it normal to run to the copymachine at work? Do you do that sometimes? I know a collegue who does!
We are all hoping to get more time in the future! I am talking about the average Swedish mid-age worker. We are all hoping for more time in the future and are all trying to keep our noses above the water with children, house and carreer as it many times takes more time than we´ve got. We are looking above the trees and aim for the stars. What if the grass is as green as it gets here and now and not tomorrow?

I have bought this training dvd with Cindy Crawford that I think is useful when I don´t want to put time in going to a studio and sweat with everyone else. A neighbour laughed when I told her I ordered this dvd and said that if she was me she wouldn´t tell anyone. I don´t know why, but in a way she thought it was embarrasing to have this at home. Anyway I just want to make life a bit simpler and in my head there is no problem in training and I do it once in a while, the problem is that I always start looking at the clock after half an hour. And then I start to think about all the productive things I could have been doing by the computer during this time and get really bored. When I am starting to feel warm I begin to feel that I have done the training for today and usually that is after about 30 minutes. Today I even got a positive thought when I realized after doing a task by the computer and after taking the shower the Cindy workout was still going strong down in the livingroom since I heard her voice and I felt; Wow how much I managed to do during this time I should have been down in the living room.

I don´t drink coffee any longer. Somehow I don´t think the coffeine is good in the long run. I didn´t think much about it. It just happened during my pregnancy when I didn´t like coffee I just decided to quit and started drinking green tea since this should be better according to other people. This has finally led to a problem I experienced when I visited friends in Oslo. This guy make one of the best drinks I have had ever. The problem is that this drink; Mexican coffee includes coffee. I can´t say no to it. It is Khalua, coffe, sugar and whipped cream. It sounds easy but he makes them just delicious and I had to have one while being there. I drank this drink at ap. 19.00 in the evening and thought that I would be ok. The evening evolved and suddenly my friends looked very tired. They yawned and told me that 01.00 was a bit late and they had to go to bed. I felt as awake as ever. I understood that it had to do with the coffee and I had to give up and do something by myself for a few hours. I found this “Lost” -DVD in their bookshelves and got very curious. I have heard many people talking about this series. I started watching it. In the morning when our hosts woke up I was almost embarrased to tell them that I had been up until 07.00 and seen lots of cliffhangerepisodes of this series. I was completely lostJ. I had to see episode after episode. I brought the dvd-box with me to Sweden. Fred has been a bit tired of me looking at this every night during the summer.

Carolina Kluft impresses me most today. Not only because she is the best in the world on heptathlon but because she seems to be a very kind and caring person. She even helped a photographer with picking up his something for his camera today when she was going to take her lap of honour. That´s what I call a good role model.

About me

Borås, Västra Götaland, Sweden
Female, pretty ordinary if you ask me. Other people might say I am a bit odd like when I decided to go to Bosnia with weapon and uniform in a peace keeping unit for the UN few years ago. I wanted to be a part of something real with a good purpose. Some people say I lack humour. My friends always have to tell me when it is a joke otherwise I take everything seriously. I should be in the ironic generation, but I don't feel at home there.
