I love Jane Austin so I couldn’t help myself

Take the Quiz here!

You are Elinor Dashwood of Sense & Sensibility! You are practical, circumspect, and discreet. Though you are tremendously sensible and allow your head to rule, you have a deep, emotional side that few people often see.

 The funny thing is that my (younger) sister got Marianne Dashwood, the younger sister. Funny since the first time I saw the movie-version of the book (well, it was the series actually) I called my sister and told her she had to see it cause we resembled those sisters a lot. And when she saw it, she agreed.

I don’t have the strenght to do the dishes today.
I don’t have the strenght to write a proper blog today.

I didn’t have to work today, so I got to work on the request I had gotten. I loved singing this song just as much as I thought I would!

Burned my arm on a hot plate in the café today. I thought I would scream, it hurt so bad! Comforted myself by getting sushi take-away. Honestly I can’t really afford it right now, but sometimes you need to ignore money-issues and just enjoy life.
 It wouldn’t be much of a life if you didn’t.

After sushi I went through some mail and online-stuff. I’d gotten a request to sing  Six Pence None The Richer - Kiss Me. I love that song! It reminds me of summer and long, bright nights. Honestly I have a couple of requests waiting for me, but this will have to pass them. It’s such a great song! Maybe I’ll have time to record it on sunday?

Today was market eve in my home town so we were open an hour longer than usual. A lot of work led to my break running a “tad” bit late, but at least I got one. (At one point I did wonder.) Last hour it calmed down though. I guess the weather (rain and cold) had some part in that.

As usual I was craving something sweet, so today I got Strawberries. I love to eat them just as they are (well rinsed, but that’s all I do).

I can never get tired of Strawberries, I l♥ve them. I even wear them on my shoes this summer.

I’ve been working 5 hours in the café today. The café is the most stressful part of the job for me. I never seem to manage to close on time. Somehow I still manage to clock out in (good) time though. Probably because I have workmates who help me out. I like my workmates! 
I’ll be working a lot in the café during summer so I do hope I get faster with a little training.

I’ve been buying clothes 2nd hand online and today I picked up the package that recently arrived. My sister keeps nagging me about “going out” only I can’t wear a sweatshirt or hoodie *sigh*

What do you think about this one, think she’ll accept it?
It took some time to get a shot that showed the back, I got a lot of pics of my neck though. You really shouldn’t watch close-up of parts of your body. Now I have weird complex-issues about my neck.

The day ended in a good way with my latest addiction; FruitDanish
M did say it when I brought a bag for the 3rd day in a row:
-The café isn’t good for you, ellen
I’ll be rolling instead of walking before this summer has ended

Wow, it’s been ages since I blogged properly. Probably because the more time I spend here, the more I miss HKO. And I miss HKO!

Please bring it back, pretty please!

Anyways, I’m hearing words about HKO getting closer and closer to opening up again, so maybe I dare start blogging for real again?
 I’m svamped at work though, so I won’t promise to much, but I’ll do my best. I do miss my blogging as well after all.

So, as some of you know by now; I love singing! And now there is this contest where you can record a song in a real studio and I wanna win that so bad! So I’m asking you to help me out, please?

The contest is simply get the most votes for your picture and it seems like you can vote even if you’re not logged in, so you wanna help me out and give me a vote? If you do, I would be so happy! The contest is in swedish but it’s easy to vote.

Start by going to this adress:

On the left side you have 4 options, click “Galleri”

At the top you then have the option to enter a number in a box “SÖK NAMN ELLER NUMMER”, my number is 8800

After you hit OK my pic will show up, click on it and then hit the button “RÖSTA”

If you do this for me, I will be so so grateful!
If you don’t then I’m still happy cause you’re here checking out my blog!

I love baking. I can’t say that’s it’s a passion, cause I don’t do it so often (don’t have time, I prioritise other things). But when I do, I enjoy it!

Today at 10pm I decided to make me some baking-time. As I had been shopping for a new recipe I’d found a couple of days ago, it was easy to decide what to bake; Geisha & Nutella Cupcakes.

I don’t know if you have Geisha or Nutella where you live, but basically it was a lot of chocolate. Mmm-hmmm…

Ok, so they look hideous, but please keep in mind this was my first try. I’ll make them better-looking next time. And yes, there will definatelly be a next time cause they were extremely tasty!

Now I just need to figure out how to not eat all of them tonight…

So I decided to try participate in an online Karaoke-contest on the website of one of the two biggest newspapers here in Sweden. This past thursday evening they called me to let me know the other participants and people who registered just to try it for fun had voted me as #1 and I had won 2 tickets to the Swedish finale of Eurovision Song Contest during Saturday!

Ok, so there were maybe 20 participating, but I was still chocked and I still got very happy! So I had 2 days to find a hotell and get a train-ticket, but somehow I managed and me and my sister headed for Stockholm and Globen.

We had a good view from our seats as we sat straight opposite from the scene.

My favourite was Sarah Dawn Finer with “Moving On”, which was even more “huge” when seeing it live (and feeling every beat through my body).

But the winner was Malena Ernman with “La voix”. I don’t mind, though, cause I really liked that song too.

All in all, I had a great weekend, and I don’t think anyone I would have brought along would have been as happy as my screaming sister.
