Before and after

Friday night- bring it on!
Workout- check!
Dress on- check!
Heading to Legends- check!
(Still no alcohol for me- test indeed!)

FRIDAY! Have I been waiting for you or what?

Finally Friday! I need weekend now.
Leaving the office in a couple of hours, meeting up with Bonnie and heading to the gym- good stuff!
No plans for the weekend so far, maybe going sledding. Never done that here in Switzerland- should be fun!
I have a weird longing for Fasnacht, haha, I know after the Thursday- the day to go out (Or I will anyway) I'll be sick off it all, the music and all the people EVERYWHERE. I think I'm gonna borrow Bonnie's Salt costume again - easy easy.

I also want to go to a FCL game soon! Who's up for the 4th of Feb?

Mon-Thurs

My week so far:

Work wise has been quite busy this week. Which is good, "already Thursday today- what happened?"
Have been to the gym twice so far, planning on at least two more times. (Still not drinking so no way I'm gonna be able to blame it on a hangover if I don't go) I ran 5 k yesterday in 39 min- that's a record for me, not for many ppl but for me! I'm proud of myself, I haven't run 5 k (well last week yes, but not under 40 min) in many many many years..let's get on it! My workout buddy Bonnie- we push each other big time- that's awesome, I need that!
I've shopped one dress (as I need more of them?) and one pair of shorts (for the summer). I found a jacket last Sat that I can't stop thinking of (drives me nuts when this is happening, I know I sound like a crazy person but I can't just let it go), maybe have to get it... it was on sale.
Today is laundry day for me and I'm gonna rest my hurting body. I snoozed half an hour this morning cause I woke up at 4.19 am and couldn't fall back to sleep until maybe 15 min before my alarm- I was dead, snoozed and snoozed and snoozed.. had my breakfast in the office...

Scorpio

As a Scorpio here's my good qualities, do I match? ;)
Scorpio's good qualities
  • Purposeful and determined
  • Intelligent and astute
  • Intuitive and good character connoisseur
  • Stay safe and extremely durable
  • Very sexy and passionate
  • Imaginative

Sensitive body parts: Sexual organs. (woop woop hehehe)
 
I think astrology is very interesting and specially when someone says "..you're a Scorpio right?" a comment on something that I did or said- interesting.
 
So ladies and gentlemen here I am:


Google Translated a Swedish one that I like:

 
Scorpio

Scorpio is brave, very secretive and deceptive calm on the surface, but beneath the surface burning passion and Scorpio love and hate with the same intense fervor. Scorpio never do anything half done and it's always all or nothing applies. Scorpio is a real good judge of character and they have a strong compassion for the "real" problems. However it does not tolerate the people who complain about unimportant or insignificant problems.

 
Scorpio is as I said easy to read other people and they analyze and study like their surroundings. However, they are not so easy to read for others and they are usually large parts of their lives and their inner secret which makes them hard to get into life.

 
Scorpio is like all water signs incredibly sensitive and this sensitivity tends sometimes take destructive forms, they can be extremely difficult to forgive or forget a injustices and they can be really vindictive and they shy away when not to use their empathic ability to make other poorly.

 
Scorpio is also often a great need for control and they can become extremely jealous.

 
Scorpio is perhaps jealous, but an incredibly loyal friend and partner. Scorpio appetite and need for sex is almost inexhaustible, and it's not for nothing that Scorpio's governing body is the sexual organ. They are usually powerful lover but also romantics of great proportions. When Scorpio fall in love they are with a vengeance, and again things can stop them.

Scorpio loves and lives with their very own glow and they do sometimes struggle with the dark sides of themselves that sometimes tend to take over. Scorpio is very interested in existential questions and they are easy to get in touch with his own as well as other internal. They can be somewhat of a seeker after higher meaning. Scorpio has a strong desire to transform both their own and others' consciousness so that the scorpion often go through different phases of change in their lives but also that they have the ability to help and guide others.

 
Appropriate career choice: Anything that has the task of helping others, for example. Psychologist, surgeon, researcher, police, detective, healer, teacher.

 
Sensitive body parts: sexual organs.

 
Scorpio's good qualities

 
Purposeful and determined

Scorpio inferior characteristics

 
Overly jealous
Ownership of Fixed against his partner

Another one:

Scorpio


Astrologically speaking, the Sun stands for your inner nature and stamps your innermost character. Slinky Scorpio is your sign, so the Sun blazed in a passionate water sign on your birthday. Scorpio, the eighth sign of the Zodiac, is feminine, ruled by fierce Mars, the warrior planet and dark Pluto, the planet of transformation. A fixed (strong and solid) sign, Scorpio governs will and authority. Scorpio people are passionate and emotional, with very deep feelings. Although you are a loyal and dedicated friend, you are fiercely competitive, subject to fits of vindictive jealousy – and can be quite manipulative in pursuit of your goals.

 
Symbols for Scorpio are the scorpion, a ground-dwelling killer with a poisonous sting in its tail, and the eagle, a far-seeing predator soaring above petty problems into the spiritual sky. Scorpio's real involvement is not primarily based on love or even pleasure, but on the control and understanding of human emotions and the role they play in the mysterious processes of life and death. Though you may not spend your life pondering the mysteries of life and death, you are inquisitive and probing, fascinated with how things and people work. Your mental and physical powers of recuperation are remarkable — and truly evolved (eagle) Scorpios can learn to use their power to help and inspire others.

 
Stamina and Tenacity

 
Determined Scorpio can be rather stubborn and resistant to imposed changes. In many ways this is a plus, for it gives you the stamina to accomplish things in life, due to your tenacity. On the surface you may seem easy-going, congenial, and gregarious, but you are also extremely tenacious with a need to manipulate and control your situations.

 
Keys to your success are a strong will and the ability to get to the bottom of things. You want answers and will doggedly persist until you get them.

 
The fiery energy of Mars shines out when you are enthusiastic; it attracts and inspires others. Your intensity can be overwhelming, but also subtle, for your considerable energy is not aroused or employed just to have something to do — as is often the case with Aries, the other Mars-ruled personality. Unlike Aries, Scorpio is not openly combative, unless it becomes necessary. Your privacy is tightly protected, so others only get to know you up to a point. You may not show any sign of inner struggle, but when you are after something (or someone) your determination is fierce — and should you not be favoured in the outcome, you are neither a willing nor a gracious loser. Nevertheless, you are not arrogant, being genuinely interested in others and what they have to say, although you often exhibit a self-sufficiency which implies there isn't much you don't already know.

Deepest Mysteries

 
The transformative energy of Pluto motivates you as you delve into the deepest mysteries of life. Whether you are trying to get to the bottom of a murder or some heinous crime, or whether you are saving a life through your surgical skills, or pursuing a meditative magical mystery tour, you characteristically seek to uncover the truth or to transform raw materials into things of great power and beauty. Relationships are not exempt from this probing, so anyone involved with you must prepare for profound changes in themselves, their mysterious partner and the relationship itself.

 
Emotions govern your first reactions to every experience in life. Although instinctive emotions generate the strongest motivations for your behaviour, you are not prone to wearing your heart on your sleeve (unlike the other Water Signs, those feeling-oriented Cancerians and Pisceans). You need to dominate relationships and rarely display your true feelings, holding back something of yourself, even at your most open and communicative moments. Although you may not intentionally set out to be mysterious, you manage to appear enigmatic anyway. You hate being crossed or manipulated, and can react to such treatment with sarcasm and vengefulness.

Strong Constitution

 
Scorpio rules the reproductive organs and excretory system, so those with Scorpio active in their charts suffer headaches, infections and fevers, along with various illnesses to do with what used to be called the secret parts. You have, however, a strong constitution and can usually overcome your problems – many of which are of your own making, due to your clandestine activities.

 
Scorpio colours are red, black, midnight blue, and emerald green. Scorpio rules metallic iron and your birthstone is the topaz. Topaz, one of the hardest minerals, cannot be cut with a knife. It is yet another representation of the impenetrable Scorpio nature. Scorpio flowers include the anemone, heather, and gardenia.

Saturday= Jäger day?

After shopping and a nice lunch me and Miss K went to Picks for a afternoon drink, one afternoon drink turned into a all nighter with Jäger-shots and many pitcher's of beer. Good night tho, but my good we were hurting on Sunday..

First Jäger on the table

Still behaving ;P

Serious discussion?

No 2

Still OK i would say

No 3

"On a scale from 1-10 how drunk are you?" "Well I would say a 3.5.." After that she had 4 shots in a row- Party queen indeed!

One of many shots later...

I have a feeling...

I woke up around 9 am this morning, I stayed home last night. After work I (never thought I would) went to the gym so I was quite dead after that- chilled out a home and went to bed just before midnight.

This morning I have ironed 7 shirts- I hate it, it's boring but needs to been done. Have I told you my sick love for crispy white shirts?..I LOVE a man in a crispy white shirt nothing sexier than that...just saying.. (I love "normal" shirts as well but it's something with a crispy shirt- are you with me?)

I have a feeling that anything "crazy" can happen today- I love that feeling, no plans just go with the flow. Hmm, let's see what kind of "trouble" I can get me and Miss K in..!

2012-01-06

Thursday night

India evening was awesome! Miss K did good. (As always) And Bonnie's brownies for dessert was damn good as well. I'm still "shocked" that a mix and bake-thing (American style) can taste so good... Not really used to "mix and bake", in Sweden we do everything from scratch.

Damn this week went fast. Hmmm maybe cause I had only 3 days in the office..
I have managed to get my ass to gym 2 times so far this week- 3 times with tonight. Good job for Emeli Malmberg!
Don't know what's happening this weekend more than Saturday we're hitting the city.. - bring it on!

My Christmas holiday

My holiday was fantastic! Went fast though, but i had such a great time.
My Christmas celebrating was amazing with all my friends here and New Years was so much fun! A great evening. I do have pics from the night but not any that I can show... everyone cooked something so we had a big table of food from all over the world and all kinds of good stuff. We had plenty of drinks (some had more than others) and we danced the whole night long, me and Bonnie left Tammie's place around 5 am I think it was.
The next day me and Bonnie started the new year with a kick ass breakfast.

I have mix feeling being back at the office, love it, but still restless for a challenge is some other way... A lot of thinking during the last few days...good thinking! Just need action as well.

Tonight I think I will join Bonnie at the gym, tomorrow is wine night. On Sunday I start my 2 "white" weeks. No alcohol at all for 2 weeks- not even a sneaky beer.

I can barley walk..

I went to the gym today, something I haven't done in a long time.
I said to my PT- I want to have a super hard workout- "make me puke"and he almost did! OMG!! My whole body hurts.. Good stuff tho.
Btw I hoped no one at the gym was from Sion..;P

This morning I met up with Erin and we went for a walk along the lake and stopped at Montana hotel for a cappuccino and some catching up. Very nice indeed.

When I walked (tried to) home from the gym I bumped in to Bon Bon so we shared a bottle of wine- very nice as well.

At home I took a long warm bath.. My body still hurts bad, but its a nice feeling, I did good today!
