 Bassano, Italy

Today is a hangover day, I haven't had one in ages it feels like (thank God). I woke up at 12 and couldn´t believe I had slept that long, I haven´t slept well since I moved here so it is really good.
The 4 days in Italy were great. The people I met were fun and the food was fantastic. We stayed in a tiny village called Bassano in northern Italy and then we had 20 minutes by car to the head office in Molvena. Felt like going to Voorschoten :) The weather was great the first days so we could sit outside in the evening on the piazza and drink prosecco. I was there to learn a new system so we can leave AS400 (!!) behind, however it has been postponed now (where have I heard that before..?).
When I came home on Thursday I had a terrible head ache but it got better in the evening and I was persuaded to come with Robert to see Cirque du Soleil, Delirium. It was very different from last time we saw them in Amsterdam. This was much bigger scale and more music than acrobatics etc. I liked it a lot though.
Yesterday we had a housewarming party in the office, the theme was Swedish holidays (Christmas, Eastern, Midsummer and Crayfish party) with a lot of food and drinks. I had a good time. I had to call Robert just before the party started since he was supposed to come with my top to wear, and he was late. I called him and was a bit annoyed and stressed him and he just talked about something I should see on the internet. I had packed down my computer due to the party and had to use someone elses computer. He told me the address was www.villdugiftadigmedmig.se .... It was fun and the answer is of course Yes :) I had to call back and say that it of course was alright that he was late haha. Now it is known in the office and everyone thought it was very funny. 
Now I will take a bath and later we are invited for dinner at Robert´s cousin´s place. Nice!

I am so happy to hear that Priya has got a boy!!! This made my weekend great! :)

I got a postcard from Eliza in a snowy Italy - Thanks that was very nice to come home to! :) One week left until my own trip now! I just realized yesterday that it says Charlotte and not Susanne on my (4) flight tickets... got to change it. I really haven't had time to think about it, annoying.
On Friday at work we had an afternoon one our party (all Nordic offices at the same time) with loads of champagne and chocolate cake, the best country party video will win a nice price. Totally crazy! :)
The weekend with Malin was good! She got a pair of D-jeans from me of course :) We have found another object to check out also, again an apartment in the same street as we live, to buy. It would be so great to have a bed room and a full size fridge and freezer and a bed side table and.... Aaaah, frustrating. Robert is going to check out a rental apartment tomorrow also. We are number 27 or so in the queue...My cousin Anneli is also going there, she is number 9.
Now I am going to bed to read, I have been too tired the last 6 weeks so I am looking forward to it. Robert is preparing for his "role play / interview" tomorrow. He is going to sell insurances to a recruitment agency guy - I am happy it is not me and admiring Robert for doing this. He is so deserving a job right now so I hope he will get something he likes soon.   

I just have to place the picture here, it is taken by a photographer on he party we had on Saturday. Me and Anna feel like we are part of a movie, haha. The dark girl is Anna that is working in my team.
Tomorrow my sister is coming to stay for the weekend, jippi!

 We are waiting... a few weeks more until Annica, (Robert' s sister) is due.

Time for an update! Work is still work, no less yet.
Thursday last week Robert and I had been together for 7 years. He cooked a delicious dinner and had bought a biskvitårta, which is my favourite cookie! We had a very cosy evening together.
Friday I went out with Sara after work for a beer at Ljunggrens which has gorgeous sushi I noticed. I am obsessed by sushi (like so many other things that one can eat...). Saturday we stood up early to go shopping. It was a successful trip, I got a new mobile phone and 2 pairs of Diesel jeans, Rokket and Brucke and some other nice clothes. I had to go home and sleep a bit before the nights events. I have trouble sleeping every night so I am trying different options at the moment... On Saturday evening I met up with some colleagues at Riche and later we went to the launch party of the new Diesel fragrances. The party was held in the Diesel store which was decorated like a secret "black" club and the music and everything really macthed. It was a cool soft party with a goody bag in the end - of course the new fragrances! :)  Sunday we spent in our small apartment just hanging out and doing the laundry, very nice.
Today work was work again, Monday are always very busy! When I got home dinner was ready, potatoes, meatballs, lingonberry jam for Robert and red beets and pickled augurk for me. I love the pickled red beets! I will bring the same for lunch tomorrow (trying to be a good girl and not spend 8 - 10 euros every day on lunch...).
Rest of the week will be work work and on Friday my susje is coming, jippi!
PS. I am also on the borderline to become an Facebook addict...no no no....

Great that John got a girl!!!! Big late happy birthday-wish to Bas also... hmmm.
Today I was at work 07.30 (!!!) and didn't leave until 20.00 which was too bad since I was planning to meet Dorine. We meet anyway after that and went for dinner. Since I am a tourist myself in Stockholm it's hard to find the special places but it was fun to meet and talk anyway, she is a really good tourist doing all the things you have to do. Big thank you to you Karin for the glossy magazines :)
This weekend I went to see Europe, it was great fun, I will try to post some pictures when I have more time! Robert is having a 2nd interview for a job tomorrow which is exciting! Today he was working in my office the whole day, helping us cleaning up, taking out a lot of furniture and post a lot of order confirmations, that was fun to have him over and get to know the people I am working with! Tomorrow I will probably get a visit at the office from Dorine!
Gotta sleep now!
