Ventilating

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

Bull.

The Turtles were full of it.

My boyfriend of five years and I have been living together for 10 months now, and let me just say I have no idea how people do it without losing their mind. Don’t get me wrong now, I love him dearly. I just want to kill him and string him up in the garage sometimes.

Our problem; Communication.

We think we’re clear and precise

 …and we’re obviously not.

Bitching on the down-sides of living with the man you love is easy when he’s not around to disagree, so to even out the Karmic repercussions; here’s a short shout out for the up-sides: 

• Bulging arms and other assorted eye-candy readily accessible 24/7.

• No problem working with heights anymore. Or cans. Or the heater.

• Always a partner in crime ready for whatever dumb idea I should come up with.

• Toasty warm feet.

Sincerely,

Pepsi-Mama

Things worth believing in

Secondhand Lions – Uncle Hub’s Speech:

"Sometimes the things that may or may not be true

are the things a man needs to believe in the most.

That people are basically good;

that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything;

that power and money, money and power mean nothing;

that good always triumphs over evil;

and I want you to remember this, that love…

true love never dies.

You remember that, boy. You remember that.

Doesn’t matter if it’s true or not.

You see, a man should believe in those things,

because those are the things worth believing in."

This was originally a part of Marelisa's post. The woman is wonderfully inspirational! If you'd like the whole thing, the link is here! Make sure to watch the Britain's got talent video she posted - I cried my eyes out, it was so beautiful!

Embrace your inner weirdo

Read something lovely here today, and wanted to share!

After

Six shoppingbags later this is the result. Could use a bit of further weading, but for now, I'm content.

Inspired or just temporarily insane?

Inspired by Joshua Millburn’s post on the minimalists, I’ve decided to give myself a new project, or rather, I’ve finally gathered the courage to tackle a problem I’ve been postponing for some time. (Thank you Joshua for the inspiration to do so!)

In June last year, when I bought the old house I’ve renovated, I decided the house would embrace minimalism. We happily didn’t plan for a kitchen table or dining area, discarded the idea of a living room table in front of the sofa, planned to only keep a bed and a closet in the bedroom, and all those thing has worked out great. During the spring I had cluttered my kitchen and my living room, gotten rid of tons of paperwork and photos, old DVDs, CDs and even a large part of my books. We allowed for 3 bookshelves in the new house. Those would have to contain my books, the remaining paperwork, memorabilia and all our electronic gadgets. It looked like this (picture below) until a few weeks ago.

What happened then? I received my order from the book sale, and what do you know...
There’s not enough space for the new entries.

(Color-coordinated? Seriously? Sure, why not!? Tried by genre, but that just messed the bookshelves up into a kaleidoscope of colors and sizes)

So the new project is this: Clear those shelves up.
Pms should make that a walk in the park. Expect a post with the after picture shortly.

Sommaren 2011

Sommaren 2011, en händelsefull sommar. Tyvärr var jag för speedad av mina njurmediciner för att komma ihåg särskilt mycket av den. Men en del av resultatet av den sommaren omringar mig.

Jag köpte ett hus, oanandes om att min diagnos skulle komma dagen efter och medicineringen påbörjas genast. Trots den, eller kanske mer tack vare den, tog den invändiga renoveringen bara fyra månader. Go, go, go!!
