Half way through shopping ban

Ok so I'm almost halfway through my shoppng ban. Someways it has been easier than belived. But main reason is that I'm poorer than a churchrat.

This week I have done some shopping though:

• Hairremoval- I may be poor, but still don't want a forest grown on me. Prefer the trees and animals in the wild ;)
• Dry schampo- I'm at war with my hair. Next step dry shampo
• Lens cover for a camera lens
• Colouringbook and crayons for flight -this is a must for me on longer flights (call me chilidish all you want)

A t-shirt from H&M Lanvin collection has also become mine in december.

For my flight to Egypt I have a little list for duty free:

• New mascara- I'm sorry but my trial with budget mascaras didn't go well- Back to old faithful
• New facial cream and cleanser- the jars are as empty as can be
• Everyday perfume- belive it or not but had a harsh discovery that all my perfumes (3) were more glamour/party smells than something I want to smell everyday

Thats all. Will look for a niece pair of leather sandals on the markets but other than that relaxing is on my agenda.

Argh

Annoyed and pissed of at anything and everything right now!

Jung Typology Test

Yesterday I took the Jung typology test and scored:

ESFJ- Extraverted Sensing Feeling Judging

This tell me that I'm type Guardian-provider


Today I took it again and scored:

ESFP- Extraverted Sensing Feeling Perceiving

This tell me that I'm type Artisan- Performer

Reading through them both I can see that I fit into both categories, but I do think I'm more or a provider than performer. Not sure that my friends agree or?

This book is written by a teenager for teenagers. It is actually one of my students that have written it and that is the sole reason why I got it in the first place. So how did I like it?

Yes its a teenage book with lots of emotions as you go through when you are 17 years old. In many ways I could regonise myself, but in others it was just a little to perfect and simple. No its not a girl who get everything she wants but after an argument with your mother being allowed to live with your grandmother I found hard to belive. Or maybe that is because my parents would never have let me do that after breaking a boys heart! If so I would have been banished from home by age 19 and never let back in the house...

I could not put the book down and afterwards I was left with so many feelings and thoughts that it surprised me.

I give this book a four.

When searching for a picture of "Stranger on a train" earlier today I managed to stumble across the artist blog of the cover. by Henry sene Yee Design

He has done some awsome book covers. also like how he shows what he first thought, how it turned out and alterations that needed to be made during the process.

Cluts part 2

Remember this? I asked myself what could happen the last 5 days.

Well lets see here. No broken lamps or plates etc.

But I did manage to:

• Miss my laundry appointment so had to take the sheets with me homw
• Forget all my daily arm/hand jewellery
• Forget to hand in key at right place

The key I will send by mail
The jewellery I will have to pick up when hottie come home from Thailand, at the same time as I drop of the sheets.

The jewellery I forgot was:

my two graduation rings, thumbring, two other rings I have gotten in presents
My two nomination bracelets, pearl bracelet and VÅGA bracelet
My accent watch

You can imagine how happy I was when I realized where all my jewellery where...

Stranger on a train

Stranger on a train

By: Jenny Diski

This was one of the books that we were supposed to read this summer for the reading circle. I never had time to read it during the summer or fall. It wasn't really until I started commuting with the train to and from uni that I really got into it. The author is travelling around America by train. We get to follow her on two separate trips when she is traveling alone. It the people she met, the feeling she has and the evnts during the trip that makes me wanna take a similar trip. I love meeting new people and getting to know their story. Most often I tend to do this while sitting on a platform, airport, busstation, backpacker bar etc. My favorite qoute is from the end of the book and it spoke straight to my heart "Journeys come to an end before they end, just as they begin before they begin - with the arrival of anticipation. "

It almost made me pickup smoking again.

I give this book a 4.

Five things

Where did the last two weeks go? Forgot to publish five things the previous week, but with an exam around the corner I could not come up with anything good at that ponit.

My five things this week are:

Winter holiday has started, nohting feels better than nowing that I have nothing to hand in, no exams to study for, no lectures to attend until earliest january 17.

I found my beloved heart necklace that mean so much to me.

Spending time with my cat and family.

Sitting inside by the fire with a good book when the temperature get below -10 C.

The sauna

Lost and found

Almost a year ago I lost my silver heart. This was given to me by my grandfathers, brothers wife when I was four. I have turned the flat inside out looking for it. Have looked everywhere except


IN the jewellery box where I keep my silver seahorse and flippers. When opening that box the other day on the same silver chain was my beloved heart. I don't even think you can imagine the joy I felt when I found it.
