We are not friends now, and just wanna be done with it. NOW!
Packing is almost done, but still some papers to organize, wich I had some time to clean up more but no.
It will be a mess to come back to :/
I just wanna say a big THANK YOU to Maggan & Maroulla helping me out so much with everything!!
What would I do without you?? :*
And Erik, sooo sweeet. He will take his truck and move my other car (very broken) from there to here (home).
Many people I will miss. Family and doggie....
A special thought for David... looking forward to come back and do more sweetliving stuff! Skydiving and climing summer!
Hope everything goes well with this and that =)
Soon I'll be on my flight to CA, I'll write as soon as I can!

2 more days in sweden!
Right now I just finnished one order of illustration an exercise,
nearly done with all verifications for my business firm,
done with shopping for dogfood for 2 months...
done with contract re horsie,
done with taxes re company for 2 months...
Whats left....
* clean the messy house
* move my other car
* pack... lists are ok I hope... just how to fit it into bags... :/
* go visit my acountant
* many coffee times, both lunches and nights, niiiice! But about this healthy diet??? Craaaaap.
(okay, I eat sallad only.... not). (But I try!).
* calculate how much I need to pay for straw, hay, feed....
Probably forgot some...
But things always solves in some way. Good or bad! Haha... I really dont like it when it goes bad, but its impossible to go around and be afraid of bad, wrong, and all this negative things or words.
That wont make anyone happy... Life isnt so easy anyhow, so lets make the best out of it! I mean when problems comes.
Thats how I try to live at least.... Risk or chance, take it, it might be your best decision ever, or you might loose and learn. Or just loose, thats how it feels sometimes ;)
How did I end up talking about this??
Ehm.... Anyhow. Today I was thinking of one of my favorite moments in life.
Normal for me is to work day and night all days in week almost, I always say to myself, I have to sleep more, work less.
Cause when my brain feels blury (more than normal), eyes prefer to be closed even when your walking, it cant be so good. But when Im off work Im off! I really enjoy my time training or hanging around with friends (I wish I did both much more...).
So to the moment! When I travell, I love this feeling, when your bag is checked in, you got your seat in the airplane (hopefully window), you have to relax, nothing else to do!
The exitement of going somewhere, what will happen, what will it look like, who will you meet? All daily and regularly things are literally left behind, miles miles away.
And how bad the weather is when you are taking off, its always sunshine above the clouds......
Elise! A Hurray for you writing so often! :*

Getting my own horse!
Finally Im getting a horse on my own!
Nearly thinking of ending this horsielife... Cause its such a 24/7 work, and if it dosnt give you challanges and improvement it takes more energy than it gives you....
And giving more space to other sports in my life, I started to think of what to give time and energy to....
Since daily work been painindaasssss lately, or more like latest year, I wonder what to do with life!
I like to work, but not waste my time on fighting for developement in work.
Thats why Im taking this breake and go abroad now, and suddenly this great offer for a horse I think is a good one, stepped in. So Im taking this chance or risk now.... and it feels much better!
Im really looking forward to come home again!
Will even come back a bit earlier than planned, strange how suddenly things can change.
Now new plans for life, I was nearly ready to pack a backpack and go where ever and leave everything thats safe...
Small things can make big changes.
I do love most of my life here, but Im so restless... its hopeless! Ants in my pants you know, hahah!
This weekend was nice, I let go of some work and enjoyed time with training & friends. There was a Ving Tchun semiarium saturday and sunday with Sifu Patrik, great fun! And great practise, I got a second level that wasnt expected. I didnt planned fo it cause its been so spontanious training lately. I will miss training when Im abroad... Ill try to prctise some on my own, or if I find a place there maybe.....
Me, Maggan and cousin Sara was at cinema saturday and hd a beer after, nice!
Today I rode Maggans gery mare, and Maroullas (Maries), fun! Suddenly its more funto ride again!
And not to forget! Maggan and I went for a great hack saturday morning! Sparkling snow, sunshine and fresch horses!
Kakao cantered for first time with someone on her back (me), a little bucking the first time ;)
Now she is back home until Im back in sweden again...
Here is some pictures of my becoming star:
Kakao, 3yrs, Figaro R -Gaugain de Lully

Then shopping for food for 40 people! Thats how many who came for dinner, and a few more dropped in!
So much food! Crazy! People at the supermarket laught at our overfull trolley!
Thanks to everybody helping us prepare the dinner and the cleaning after the party....
After dinner we saw 1 hour 20 minutes of 'Sektor 236' -cool! Well done everybody, looking forward to see the final edition and o see the end..... ;)
The party went on well, with some live music and entertaning, I think I like John imitating 'Gollum' best, hihi ;)
About 4 am the last of us went home to bed....
Thanks or a great night all! And you crazy guys doing all this acrobatics... Im bloody impressed but you make me a bit nervous also ;P
I woke up 9.30... but stayed in bed until 12 nearly, cause everybody was sleeping.
We cleaned up at the house we had the party and then me, Camilla and Moa went for food, sushi -mmmmm!
As we just finnished the cleaning John got the idea to open a roof hatch, an loads of isolate material fall out over him and the floor, I laughed so much... hahaha! Wish I had photos of that!

My best trip ever, now Sweden again
It was incredible last days in the middle east.
Show ended on saturday, wich is like their sunday. That was another great day!
We taxed in the 'Catwalk' after flight next to the crowd. More photographing, waving, poseing... weird ;)
I was intervjued twice during that day.
Saturday night there was a big dinner for all participartions at Hilton Hotel in the pool garden. Really nice!
Sunday we had a relaxed day at the hangar. It was so funny when Benny and Bosse was taken for a flight on the wings of catwalk! Both 60+ Well done isnt it?
Jacob flew them over the desert to show them the great surroundings, they finnished of with flying low over the hangar with thick smoke!! Cool guys!! =D
In the afternoon me and Jenny had an amazing experience flying with the greatest italian team!
So beauiful, so amazing, so great fun, so cool!
We did loops, barrel rolls and flew inverted (upsidedown), That was.... yeah... just breathtaking! Thank you so much!
At night we went uphill the mountains, fantasic view over Al Ain in sunset. We also made a stop a the spring, where we climbed up the rocks to enjoy the view over the spring, wich is an unusual green part for Abu Dhabi.
Monday morning we got up early to eat breakfast with the boys and to say goodbye. We spent som time in the sun and in the pool before lunch. Then we girls went to Dubai to meet Joe.
Joe was the speaker at the show, he showed us Dubai. He drove us around, paid for dinner and drinks... very sweet!
At the seven star hotel Burj Al Arab I had my most expensive drink ever, a Mojito for 90 dirhams, thats like 220 sek...
Do I have to say it was delicious? It was a crazy luxurios place... really crazy.
The flight was 1.40 am... slept trough the hole trip... arrived at Arlanda 5.30. My daily bad luck started immediatly, haha! Im not supposed to be here i guess ;)
Back in a swedish winterwonderland I took the train to Uppsala watching the sun rise.... Just a litlle snow makes it so beautiful. But damn it was cold!! Minus 11 'C...*brrrrrr*
Back to reallity, gotta solve my mobile problem (not working for last week), pay bills and go to work tomorrow.
But me and my sweetest doggie are together again! Missed him! :*
So to summary everything... Aaaaww how I love to fly!! Im so happy for being a wingwalker for Scaninavian Airshow! (I love you all!) And is so exiting to travell and meet new people!
And yes, pilots are hot! haha! ;)
