Banking, interest rates and money

Me and my SO went to the bank today and it looks pretty good. The biggest hurdle is that we have to find 64 000 SEK for a first installment pay on the house. That is alot of money actually. Damn, I hate not having a job. I am the worlds worst housewife and so much better belonging to a regular workforce.

Always a couple of minutes late

I realised the moment I was starting this post that I would once again cross the midnight line...
That was not what I was aiming for but can't be helped.

Tomorrow me and my darling SO have an appoinment with the bank. We plan on buying a sad sad little house, renovate it and sell it for market value. I've been busy all week doing the cost calculations.
I'll write later today about how it went.

And tonight we can truly say, together we're invincible

Since things are sailing smoothly at home once more I've been listening to all those songs that make me silly happy.

I've been diving into alot of Muse and Depeche lately. Depeche is and will always be one of my first true audio loves. Their sound is ingrained into my neural pathways and have been one of the major influences of my taste for music. I think one of the reason why I love Muse so much is that they combine the sensibilites from synth like Depeche with the amazing riffs and beat of old school rock that I love so much. You see, before yours truly was into synth I was spoonfed rock. My parents are and have always been avid rockers and they played everything from Nazareth, ZZ-top, Gasoline, Credence Clearwater Revival to Yes, Uriah Heep and most importantly of all Thin Lizzy. I had a very confusing preteenhod since I at one hand mainly listened to Erasure, Depeche Mode, Madness and Eurythmics and on the other hand went nuts over Metallica, CCR and bands like Men at work.
I've picked up alot of favourites along the way and truly expanded my tastes for music. But despite all these fabulous genres to pick from like folkmusic, industry, ska and symphonic rock just to name a few I still return to synth and rock when I don't think about what I pick. They are second nature, I sometimes suspect that they are so ingrained that they're like languages I've become so familiar with that they're a second and third mother tounge.

Have a nice evening everyone, and listen to something that really touches your soul today.

Pet journals

I'm lazy, I'm tired and I will do a real update tomorrow... well more like later today. Oh well.

I snitched this from one of my friends, her name is Emma and she's awesome.

I have the greatest empathy for the cat.

Bleh...

Two days.


Two days and today he didn´t even say goodbye in the morning...
Stubborn fool.

Too tired...

I was planning on writing some stuff about the house I looked at today, but my hubby is driving me up the wall with his silent treatment (he's silly, he's wrong and he knows it, but like all children he refuses to admit it and sulks instead) and this nice weeezing in my chest I don't really feel like writing much. I'm sure I'll feel much better in the morning.

Blessings this All Hallows.

Since on of the more important holidays for me is coming up soon I'd like to think about what I am blessed with.

I am blessed with a wonderful son whom I love dearly. I feel my heart lighten every time I look upon him and nothing is more precious than his happiness.

I am blessed with a stubborn man. He keeps me on my toes and challenge me daily. Ours is not an easy love, but it is a great love. It is all the greater because he gives me what is right, never what is easy.

I am blessed with close kin. Blood is thicker than water they say and when it comes to my family that rings true. Never will I know loneliness as long as bonds stay true.

I am blessed with true friends. Blood may be thicker than water, but blood cannot be without water. True friends are true blessings and something to cherish. I am sad to say that I have not always honoured and nurtured the bonds of friendship as I should have, shame on me and not on them. Blessed I am nonetheless.

I am blessed with wealth. I may not have as much as others, but I have enough to put food on the table each day and clothes on the backs of my family. I have enough to never know hunger nor cold. I have enough to live in comfort. That is as much as anyone could hope for and more is an indulgence.

I am blessed with peace. Starting this All Hallows I know we can keep all of my kin safe, long gone are the truly horrifying years of uncertainty and fear. Life is not perfect, peace for my in-laws would be the final piece of the tapestry but they are resiliant and crafty. Finally my little sister, my fosterchild has been given reprieve and that most of all feels like the truest blessing of them all. She will never fear deportation ever again.

National Blog Post Month

In an effort to really overhaul this blog and actually DO something with it. I'm challenging myself by joining NaBloPoMo and others who want to post one time per day the entire month of November.
I hope this will work, I really need the buttkick.

As for what happened to all those nifty cake reviews I got tired of the cakes.. yes I did. I've come to the conclusion that the best cake I can find is the one I bake myself. All bakeries are using premade mousses and do NOTHING from scratch... that really ticked me off. Last time I tried for a cake I specifically asked for lots of strawberry flavour and dark chocolate and to my severe disappointment the strawberry goodness of Gods did n ot shine upon the cake... no no.
We will se what will be done. I am great at cake, I am terrible at decorating said cake. I'll have to find a decorating wizard somewhere.

And this blog is now in english for two reasons.
One. I really need to stretch my english writing skills, as they go unused all too often.
Two. Since most of the readership at NaBloPoMo are english readers it's easier this way.
