Spending my time

Wohoo 2009!
A new year, same story: me being full of hope and expectations that this one will be an outstanding one. Nothing strange with that! So here I am, planning for what is to come, exactly what it'll be, well, haven't figured that one out yet. As it is I'm taking it bit by bit, staying put and doing what I do. Sort of.
Spent a really great NYE, it was indeed - perfect. I hate new year's normally, the pressure, the must do's. Didn't need to worry though, I attended a party in an intimate setting at a friend's place (view of the Eiffel Tower from window, love it), nothing but good times and joy! Abba and Roxette (hence the nostalgic title of today's blog) were on the playlist, vodka/cranberry filled the glasses, soap bubbles floated in the air. Magic.
January 1st was spent in the same manner, however a tad lazier. Movies, Starbucks, greasy Chinese and giggles, couldn't ask for a better start of 2009! Had to work today though, but no matter, tomorrow's off and no Gymboree on Sunday morning, hooray! Will go to the gym first thing in the morning, haven't been since, well, before Christmas. Yikes!
Short update of the last couple of weeks; went to the Netherlands and celebrated Xmas with my Dad and his wife, supernice with familydinner in an Italian restaurant evening of the 23rd, the 24th we had a lovely lunch in a tea-house which used to be a boat-house, very Dutch. Later that day I went to Amsterdam to spend the Eve with my friends, turned out to be a celebration anything but traditional but none the less extremely fun! Went clubbing after dinner and presents, and oh no, Jesus wouldn't approve.
Had to work on the 25th so off I went with the first morning train to Paris, and spent Christmas day hung-over but happy in the shop. Lots of tourists, but what a long day! Phew.
Have suffered from a slight tooth-ache these past couple of weeks so I mustered up some courage and went to see Mr Dentist. Was scared to death (mostly of how much it would cost, seeing as I haven't been for a check-up in, like, 3 years). But he was a nice dentist, took a good look and said that my teeth were very "healthy" and that there was nothing to worry about. Apparently my cold might have caused the occasional ache, and miraculously, my pain was instantly gone! Yay! And all in all it didn't turn out to be that expensive, 39 euros... Less than in Sweden!
Went to see the movie Australia Tuesday night, cute. I cried constantly throughout, what has happened to me? It wasn't even that sad to begin with. Maybe I'm getting old and soft...
So there, the new year has indeed started off nicely. Stay tuned to for follow up's!

Bonne année!!!
