When you sleep............

Hi world

I overslept today; I was just lying in bed wondering when the alarm would go off. It never did. I wonder if I turned it off in my sleep or if I never turned it on. ‘
Strange things do happen in my sleep. Once I threatened to kill Cecy in my sleep, poor thing and she is afraid of the dark as it is. Once I spoke about a guy I had a crush on and Camila heard it, she still teases me today. All my talking in my sleep will probably get me in trouble some day.

I love my new phone but I am having some problems with it. Today I managed to send a message that was only half written so the content seemed really strange. I tried to cancel but high-tech as they are today it was already sent. I quickly sent a correction.

Virgi came by after work and we had takeaway sushi. As usual she was on my case about the things in life she thinks I don’t get. She is right I guess when it comes to others I think everything is so simple but as soon as I am involved everything gets so different I loose all sense prospective. You got to love having friend that ground you once in a while. And even if it doesn’t seem like it I do listen.

I tried to get us up on a guest list for an 80´s bar for Friday night. Let see what happens with that.

I am looking forward to the weekend! Already!!!

Happy but tired

Hi world

I am so exhausted and overwhelmed! Everything in my life is going great, I have great friends I love, a job that I enjoy, where I laugh everyday. “Finally” I have a good relationship with my whole family. I am really involved in my dancing, where I teach and perform.

The problem is that I don’t have time to keep it all up; there are not enough hours in a day. Something has to give but I am not about to choose just yet so I keep pushing until I break. I work full time and I dance 6-8 hours a weak and I go the gym twice a week. I feel that I am not enough! I can’t even imagine having a family and keeping it together.

I know I sound depressed now but I am not I am just sooooooooo tired!

Thank you to all of you that put up with me and my schedule. Love you

So clumsy

Hi world

Now that you have seen the nice photos from Angelicas house warming party i will confess the truth of what happened next.

All tipsy and happy we set of for our home away from home The Soap Bar! It was great, we danced and laughed and talked to people and laughed a bit more. By the end of the night I had sent tome text messages and was waiting for a reply. So in order to hear my phone I put it in my back pocket of my extremely tight diesel jeans and went to the toilet where my phone ended up in the toilet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How clumsy am I? I dried it and put it together but it was dead. I was sooooo pissed off! I use phones as if they were disposables. Everybody (drunk) tried to put it together, even the bars security tried to help me. But it was dead!!!!!!!! After that we set off home. That was even harder; we could get a taxi at all. Eventually we got one so Sophie went home. Me and Jen waited and waited and eventually took the bus. I had a great night despite the phone incident as I got hold of everybody eventually!

On Sunday I was really tired and just stayed in. Jen came over to watch Pirates of the Caribbean 2, but I slept through most of it.

Today I got a new phone, jippiiiiiiii, got hold of some numbers. Met up with Nille after work, he gave me some kitchen gear and some bottles of Martini. My bar is growing! He hit me 4 times, hidden aggression, well I don’t know or maybe I deserved it. He said I am growing soft. Then I went to Sats and worked out for an hour. Now its bedtime!

A great weekend!!!!

Jen and Marie, don´t let the empty cups fool you. They were quickley filled by Masse that mixed 50/50 in an attemp to get us wasted



Andreas and Cecy, could easily have been the couple of the night. Sweet!





Me, Sophie and Angelica, no comment on the pose!






Me, Sophie, Andreas and Cecy in one of the few group shots of the evening. Andreas should be pleased.





The three sibblings





Me and Marie in the kitchen, i am working on the lemonade to be mixed with vodka, always a success.




Masse was going on and on as usual, and by the looks on our faces we were not buying it!

Stood up?????? but why????

Hi world

I got stood up today?????????????????????????????????? by Nille. We were supposed to have lunch together today and I was all ready to go so I called him. He sounded surprised and asked if it was today. I got pissed off “but not really” and told him off with the whole how could you forget me, you owe me speech. I even made it clear that this was the first time I had ever been stood up by a guy, but luckily he is just a friend that is married and all. I told him “you lived in my apartment” he said “I have driven you all over Sweden” and so it went on. I have missed fighting with him!

My self esteem would have taken a big blow if it had been a real date. Gunnar heard the whole conversation and made up for it by proposing we have lunch at a new Lebanese restaurant near Preem. Now that I am talking about my job I must admit that I made the crappiest business decisions today. Blaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! But I love my job and am so glad that I ended up there! My greatest concern is that Gunnar might retire someday, I swear I will quit!

After work I met up with Sussie at Calle P, we were expecting to eat high life pizzas but they had changed owners and are now serving posh French food. I haven’t seen her since Palma. We had a great meal and talked about our lives. Sussie is planning a big party that is going to be a blast. Sorry but I can’t give you any details.

Hardest to reach: Jase, are you avoiding me??????? Answer the god dam phone!!!!
Best laugh: Angelica, she cries ever time she laughs
Most extreme mood swing: Jenny started the day as miss grumpy but all of a sudden she was laughing and joking, a woman’s privilege.
Black sheep of the day: Nille, I like him but he stood me up
Superhero of the day: Gunnar, great lunch and cheered Jen up.

“ Oi Marcia

Um amigo meu esceceu de um almoco que nos tinhamos hoje. Por sorte ele so e um amigo meu e nao um “DATE”. E bom porque si fose um date eu ia esta acabada si o homen mi esceseu. Eu almocei co mums colegas do trabalho. Depois do trabalho jantei com a Sussie”

Waste of a day

Hi world

I had dance class from one to six o’clock yesterday. From one to four we had rehearsals for Viva Brasil and from four to six we had the regular classes. Today my body is aching! Jen came to the class and loved it so now both Jen and Angelica are going to start taking lessons. The new show is going to be great; we have some new choreographies that are really hot. Gilmar has made one of a song I love.

At night I went to Jen´s for dinner. Me, Jen, Sophie and Angelica ate and drank some sangria before hitting the town. Of course we went to Soap bar. There was something wrong there yesterday, the atmosphere was different and it wasn’t that much fun as it usually is. Even the guys that work there said it sucked.

Today is soooooooooooooo boring. I am tired, bored and lazy. My body is aching and every position change is tough. I am going to the gym tomorrow again so help me god.

In my quest to get in shape for the carnival I am happy to say that I have lost 1.1 kg since last Sunday.

I am looking forward to my photo shoot with Cecy and I will post some of the photos.

I wasted the day away on the couch, a pity because the sun shined today and the next time that happens will probably be in May.

Serves me right for drinking the last two drinks



“Oi Marcia

Dancei 5 horas omtem, hoje o meu corpo esta duido. A noite jante na casa de uma amiga e saimos para o mesmo bar de sempre. Mas nao estava tao animado. Perdi um kilo em uma semana. Nao fiz nada hoje”

Proud and in Pain

Hi

I am so proud of myself I just came from the gym where I worked through my whole body. I hate the gym I only like dance classes and cardio stuff. I hate, but I did it, the big problem is to keep it up every week. My body is aching and I think I am a part of the couch now.

Both mum and Camila moved to there new houses today. Must be exiting they are both moving to much bigger living. In my opinion not better but bigger, but that’s just me. I cant see myself ever living anywhere else then Stockholm in Sweden. Well I will miss them both of course.

The only subject at work now is our upcoming trip to the carnival in Rio and Salvador. Three months and counting.

I am in pain

Bye bye


“Oi Marcia

Estou orgulhosa porque fui fazer musculasao hoje, e eu odeo musculasao. A minha mae e Camila se mudarao hoje. As meninas no escritorio so estao falando sobre o carnival”

Getting settled in!

Hi world

I have now worked almost a whole week since my trip to Brazil so I guess I have landed now. I have been jet legged all week and haven’t been able to sleep much. I try to go to bed but I am all speeded at night, and in the mornings I am exhausted.

I have thought a lot about my trip to Brazil and all that happened down there. I really appreciated spending all the time I spent with Jason. I moved out when he was 13 and we really don’t spend a lot of time together only when we go out partying. We got along great and I am so happy that he now has passed all his exams and can apply to college. Hope it all works out for him there.




This week has been extremely busy for me work all day, samba classes and hanging out with my friends every evening. My apartment looks like hell and I am going to clean it all up tomorrow.

I have three months to get in shape for the carnival in Rio and the heavy training is now in full effect. I will keep you all informed. By the way the new diet my doctor ordered is going great and I hardly feel any nausea only once when I ate a dish that had cream in it. The only problem is that the diet I was told to maintain meant I had to increase my fat intake and of course I have gained a lot of weight. So I feel a lot better but I have gained weight. I am trying to find a way to even it out and have started working out with weights again although I hate it. There is no way I could do more cardio. I would have to quit my job.

Today is my 5 year anniversary at Preem; Gunnar gave me a present an Isabel Allende book in English. She is by far my favourite author. Gunnar is so kind to me, hope he stays at Preem for a long time.

I also realised that me and Camila have been friends for 10 years. God, time really fly’s we have had so much fun, and a little hell to. She is going to her new home for the first time this weekend. I am probably going to spend new years there.

I am looking forward to the weekend me and the girls are going to Jen`s and then we are going out. It feels like I haven’t been out for ages.








"Oi Marcia

Eu passei essa semana sem dormir bem y com muintas coisas para fazer. Esto cansada muinto ocupada. Esto dansando muinto y fazendo musculacao. Todo para estar bem para o carnaval no RIO 2007, tenho 3 meses. Hoje eu trabalhei 5 anos no Preem y eu ganhei um presente. Este fim de semana vou sair. BALADA! "

Some photos

I am back now

Jason and Dad, first day on the beach

Hi

I am now home from Brazil. I had a great time over there. I spent most of my time on the beach listening to dad and Jason complaining about me and my sunbathing. I know I have a problem with getting tanned but I think I look better the darker I get.

Leticia was sooo cute and she learnt our names. The poor thing got sick on her own party but she is feeling better now. Marcia had worked hard for the party and everything looked great. I haven’t seen the photos yet.

It was good spending time with Jason as well and we got along great. I don’t spend that much time with him but when we do we always laugh a lot. We survived sharing a room for a week.

When I got home all my friends were in strange situations. There was a lot of male bashing today, but as Hank reminded me they are all gentlemen. Or so they claim.


Dad and his kids

My last day on the beach

I am here!

hi world

I am here now. Our flights were horrible. Our flight to Frankfurt was cancelled and the next one was 2 hours late, leaving me very worried, i hate being out of control. I called Gunnar and Varig. To tell varig that we were on our way. As we werent in transfer the plane would not wait for us. We almost missed our flight from Frankfurt to Sao Paulo. When we ran to the gate they were bording. Luckily we made it! Once we got to Sao Paolo we were off to the hotel, in the ghetto!!!!!!!!! At 4 oclock there was a shooting outside the hotel. Finally we got to Fortaleza last night at about 2 in the morning.

Me and Jase are getting along great. He is sick so we couldnt stay at the beach for long today. He better get well soon or else i will be left on the beach. I am working on my tan like crazy. It was great seeing everybody here and they liked our gifts. Leticia is big and her hair is so long and curly.

Tomorrow is the big party i will let you know how that goes. The theme is Hello Kitty.
