INDIAN TRAFFIC...

I have put together a small film from our taxi rides in the Indian mountains.
If you think it looks hectic, it is nothing compared to what it is. The small movies I have been able to shot doesn't show the real hectic times we've been through. For some reason the breath taking situations wouldn't appear when I took the camera out.. Maybe I will come back with a new movie later...


HAVE A SAFE RIDE!!

Summer time....

Today is one of two strange days we have in a year. The day when it is time to "move" the time. From the very dark winter we are heading into the lighter spring. To help the light a bit we drop an hour and suddenly we have swindled ourselfs that it is much lighter.
When the winter comes we move the time back an hour for the same reason - to get more light! Why not move the time half an hour and keep it that way?? Or decide what time to keep. I think it is rather crazy to move it around like that.
I guess they who worked last night thought it was great - they had to work for an hour less.

well, not much I can do about it. So I did move my clocks already befor I went to bed. It is better to wake up and know what time it actually is..

So in a way I lost an hour today (not only me.. all of us). That is so typical a day like this... when I have lots to do... But I desided to work harder instead!! =)
I'm a bit tired now - I wonder if it's jetlag!??!

Sorry...

It's been a while, I know... I'm sorry! But time is something I don't have enough of right now. Work is taking most of my time. For a while I have spent every second week at my "normal" office and every second week at our plant in the south. Lots of packing and lots of traveilling, but also lots of experience of all kind. =)
I'm working on a BIG BIG project right now. It's a great project, but it is also very hard work. Lots of hours! Evenings and weekends aswell... I really hope I will do a good enough job so it pays of in the end! A good deal for the company is what we are working on!

A few days ago I couldn´t see the light in the tunnel. All I could see was the deadline coming closer and closer... Today, after a few hours spent at the office I can see a gleam of light but the deadline is getting closer even faster... Guess I need to spend lots and lots of hours at work the comming week as well....

But hey... I don't mind that much. Some days are harder, but then I think about what I wish to do with all the extra time I do... and then it is easy to do another hour!

Right now it's rather easy to sum up my life. I can use one word: WORK!

Well, it is lighter and the snow is slowly leaving us (even if we got some more last week) and hopefully we can smell the spring any day now! Great! Looking forward to some light and some sun!

OK, I'll be back when I have time to do something to tell you all about! =)

DESCRIBE...

... your wallet......

My wallet is famous for being left behind when I went to Egypt in December!!
A leather one that is now very well used and in need of retirement. But it's doing it's purpose so it stays for now.
Inside is to less money, a deck of platsic cards and some "good to have"...
And for some reason I lost it at the petrolstation today buying food. I thought I left it at the hotel and rushed back. Couldn't find it in my room, got back to the petrol station and there it was - I had put it on the counter...

...your dream car.......

...is good looking, safe, cheap, great and fun to drive and fuel efficient!!

...your toothbrush......

I have a few. One in the bathroom back home, a whie and green Colgate, one in each bag used for all travels. So in the bag on this trip is a white, also a Colgate that I got on a business class flight!! =)

... the jewellery worn daily......

Well, as most people know, I'm not a jewellery person... but for the momnet I'm wearing a silver chain with a "Key of life" in silver. Bought that key in Egypt during the trip there at Christmas.

... your pillow Case......

Hmmm.... here at my hotel room in Helsingborg it is as in most hotels white striped in white! on both pillows...
Back hom I have my favorite - white bottom filled with big black ants!! Bought it at IKEA on the childrens department.

... your eyes.......

Yes, the normal standard two! Blue!
The left one is working far better then the right one - but none of them is working 100%... Using glasses! I could really do with a pair of new ones...

...the room you are in at the moment......

The presten room is room 104 at my hotel. I've got light colored walls, wodden floor, two beds, two arm chairs with a small little table, a desk with chair, a TV and a very white bathroom....

... your cologne/Perfume........

I enjoy me Green Tea by Elisabeth Arden.

... what Cd is in your stereo.....

Don't have a stereo here. Back home I have no CD in my stereo but in the car I have "The Ark"....

...your piercings.......

Nope noone here! Tried earrings as a little girl - but since the hole in the one ear doesn't want to stay in place - a took them off and never used any since then!

... what you're wearing........

Blue t-shirt saying "SWE" (patriotic right) a very confy but not to beautiful pair of pyjamas pants. Gray with small blue, green and pink owls - night owls - and even smaller white moons and stars... bare feet

... what you want........

When? Where? What?
I guess there is lots... differnet depending on the occation!
For example - loads of holidays, free flight tickets for a life time.... a job and a life in my favorite place on earth - CT!!

Well it is very easy - it's me - blogging....

...the last thing you ate.......

Mashed potatoes and sausage with some ketchup and mustard from the petrol station.

Elkschnaps at Grüne Woche



I spent the weekend that past at the gigantic expo "Grüne Woche" in Berlin. We showed the Elkschnaps to the Germans (and all other visitors ofcourse). It was a great experiense. We had so much fun!! Most of the visitors tested our product and lots of them also bought a bottle or so... Business were going real good!


My first day was day nine of the expo - it was the second Friday and a long day - opened from 10 am to 9 pm... That ment 11 hours standing. Guess if I had sore feet after that!! Then we did another 9 hours on Saturday and another day on Sunday... But it was so much fun the sore feet wasn't that big of a problem.

 

On Sunday afternoon we managed to sneak off a bit early. We went for a sightseeing trip around Berlin and then we had dinner at the top of the TV tower. The turning tower... That was great. Then I had to rush off to the airport to go back to reality...

I had a great time and hopefully I can do it again next year - maybe a few more days then!

Live your dreams? or !

What is the treatment for the diagnosis: "Not being able to make up your mind!" ??
It is not the all day things like what to have for lunch or dinner, or what to wear for the day that is the problem. It is the big decisions in life! Like - what to do with the rest of your life - kind of questions. 

When and how do you know you reached the point of satisfaction?
The point where you can say I'm happy with this, I have what I need and and don't have to strive to get anywhwere else. Is that really satisfaction, or is it just something you tell your self when you think you can no longer live your dreams??

When and how do you know that "the grass on the other side" isn't just greener, but better! 
Is it possible to know without going there to see for your self? Is the saying "The grass is always greener on the other side" something you say to tell your self it is no use to go there and have a look or is it a fact?

When and how do you know when a dream is just a dream and not someone telling you that this is the way you're going?
Are dreams just dreams to keep us going, or is the mening of dreams to tell us to keep an open mind and maybe one day find what we have to do!?
But then, how do we know when that day is? And that "that dream" is the one.

So, when you find this dream that is ment to be your dream to live - how do you make the decision to do so?
Say that you have a dream you really would like to live. You know it is the right thing for you to do. Then you get all these new questions to answer. 
When is the right time? Is it really sure/right? 
If it means you have to change your life drasticly, are you strong enough to do that? How do you do that? It is not just to wake up one morning and deside that today I will live my dream!? Well, it can be, depending on what your dream is.

I'm convinced. Everyone can live their dream! Everything and anything is possible. The only hindrance is yourself! Make sure you plan it well and think about EVERYTHING before action! Then you will succeed!!

LIVE YOUR DREAMS!
We only have one life!
LIVE IT!!
