Ms Parisadent


Jag tänker ibland på den tornado av talang och ambition som är Parisa och slutar alltid med slutklämmen: Hoppas jag får leva till den dag hon blir vår statsminister.

Christmas gift tip of the day


Oh what a day! My computer broke down, she's from 2006 so she's like 100 years old if you translate her computer years to human age. She's tired. I tried to fix her by unscrewing all those tiny screws to take a look inside, perhaps there was some clogging in her heart? That didn't help either.

Now typing on other broken Mac, that would be more expensive to fix than to buy new.
That's OK! Life is not perfect.

Unless....you have year passes to a museum! I love year passes. They make me go more often, and they grant me a feeling of LUXURY! PLUS, They're Good For An Entire Year! Such a great gift. Give one to yourself as well.

Christmas gift tip of the day


I love this book.
It's a great gift for the people in your life who watch too many Italian movies. Or who love Italy. Or Italian food. You know, anyone really.

Have been watching too many Italian movies from the 60s lately


Just wanted to take a pic of my almost free outfit and this is how it turned out. Can't stop posing in exaggerated ways. But important thing is that the only thing I paid for here is the belt.

Glasses - cherished gift from my parents.
Necklace - inherited from my grandmother.
Dress - from clothes swap.

Till Brita


Du vet att jag <3 dig och ditt boobtage. Ger dig därför i pris denna repris på Samira i manstorso-tisha. Denna look får slutkonsumenten att gå upp i brygga. Har svårt att förstå att Samiras fötter någonsin behöver beträda asfalten, respekten för looken är så stor att jag skulle kunna lägga mig direkt på gatan för att bespara hennes sulor kontakt med stadens smuts.

Do you share this constant notion?


That would be: MUST GO TO NEW YORK.
Longing currently intensified by this.

Faces of the present take a trip to the past.


I NEVER TIRE OF THESE THINGS.

Suddenly, my regular knitted hat seems so plain



On Saturday, visited the Army Museum in Stockholm.

Might have to serve soup only during December


Joel's now missing both upper front teeth. Take one more look at this child of mine. I'm hoping to find out more about our apparent Asian heritage.

Alchemy

Only when I buy wine and books do I feel that I'm not only getting my money's worth but perhaps even increasing the value spent.

What purchases make you feel that way?

En lite bättre Guner

Jag vet inte vad jag fick, men min bror fick förnuft och talang nog att intervjua Nobelpristagare. Så stolt över honom. Och förstå min kortslutning när han ringde mig mitt när jag lyssnade på inslaget!

In December


Is this really our garden? This lushness seems so long ago.

Yuletide


My Elf-movie is gone. I can't find it anywhere. Now, when my two oldest kids can finally read subtitles and share one of the greatest joys in life with me -AMERICAN COMEDIES- it's gone. WHich brings us to the essential question here - should I buy another DVD? How much is ELF WORTH?

Det här är ju jättebra

För oss som inte kan skilja på yogurtarna.

Skulle bara vilja ha en ramsa så jag kan komma ihåg det lätt.
Om ni känner likadant kan ni få en här.
Greken är surare än turken men båda är smalare än ryssen.

The other day at the office


Petra and Anna stopped by! Petra lives in LA so we're so happy to have her here with us for a few weeks. Look at her! Why is she so happy? BECAUSE SHE IS SWEDEN'S (perhaps the western world's) last MORTGAGE FREE INDIVIDUAL!!! Who wouldn't be happy?

I told Lotta to stand up so I could take a picture of her together with Anna and Petra.
She declined, adding:
"My agent has instructed me to never have my picture taken standing next to really tall, beautiful, slender women.
Very determined to stay seated.

a day with the end consumer


come into my world!
ok, I've missed out on sharing morning and breakfast with kids and anders, but you know I went running and now: prepping. for what?

For going to Fotografiska where I met a hair twin

Then had a long meeting with great minds:
Before taking the elevator down (also a forgotten closet day - putting on an entire suit I rarely wear)

To l'heure bleue outside:

Then back home to pick up kids, cook, clean like always but also! Opening the first day of the Advent Calendar. SPOILER ALERT if you haven't done this yet.

December!


Out for a morning run with Dean and Frank singing christmas tunes. It's cold, dark and early, who wants to go running? But you never regret it.
How I'm feeling now, after running. It just works.

Parenting is a verb


When I'm at work, this sense of belonging, of being a port of security, is what I look forward to when returning home. There are little tigers on Niki's dress, matching the tiger print on my jumpsuit. Below, more animal related media, an old video of same child but at the age of 14 months, when she was already down with the language of beasts.

Family is when you offer each other unconditional love and a safe haven. Like Zach's family.


ps. FILM YOUR KIDS/LOVED ONES! I regret every instant I haven't filmed. That's a whole lot of time!

Try losing your head at Grand Hotel.

Cape


This garment called cape. Can anyone see such an item of clothing without adding the words "covers a multitude of sins" in their heads?

Jul på Drottningholm


Vanja 10


Make a wish!

Confession

Whenever I hear the expression "grow a pair" I always think about boobs, not balls.


Blog use


I'm posting this here for easy reference since I hate trying on clothes and the blog is somehow always there - in the phone.

Also, next time you want to send me a dress or a coat, these are my measurements. And yes, my ass is at least one size larger than the rest of me. That's OK, meaning Original Kardashian.

Things I thought I wanted to do in Paris

I really thought I wanted to go to the Merci store, perhaps to Paul & Joe, to any old clothes store but really, back in Sweden it didn't bother me that I missed out on those things. The only thing I regret is not going to this.

Quote of the day from Joel

Mom, you know everything would be a little better if we were...Gods!
