Jag håller andan med dig för jag vet hur du känner
Sjung om dom gånger vi delade ett liv med en blick
Det finns inga ord för det på det här jävla språket
Jag har inga ord för att vi andas, tänker, känner samma sak

Terribly distracted. By pleasant thoughts - but still, no time for distractions. Focus, girl! Chop chop! First things first. All other things aside. Go go go!
(and no, it is not important to debate whether Hjalmar is worth a Mr Cap Master Treatment or not!)

Yesterday turned out EVEN better (and I don't know how that is even possible). Met up with Sz, JC, R and G @ La Habana and then met an old fling for some wine @ Storstad. A lot of catch-up talk and then a decision to go
longboarding. He's a surfer, I'm a snowboarder and an ex-skateboarder so he wanted me to try it. We went to get his two boards, and the second we left his apt we saw a big group of people on the other side of the street.
"Wait a second... Are those longboarders?" And just by a crazy coincidence we ran into the group
Stockholm Longboarders. Kids from 10 to 18 who thought we were REALLY cool grown-ups, wanted us to join the group and so on. And then we skated the night away along the streets of Norrmalm. What a funny surreal crazy night.
Ok, focus...! Monthly Business Report to write. Then brunch with the doctor @ Elfvik (and yeah, I have a caaaaaaaar so it's easy to get there, wohooo!). Sometime in between I have to figure out what to dress up like for the Halloween party tonight and also figure out how to help my friend to find wine for 30 people (we forgot that Systembolaget is closed today - bummer!)

Got up at 5.30 - went for my favorite 13km run along the waterfronts of my darling city all alone apart from two or three other runners in the dark morning - waved at the construction workers outside my window while reading SvD from cover to cover during my very lazy looong breakfast - DROVE MY OWN CAR TO THE OFFICE - raced with a Corvette along E4 - and it's Friday!

Now it's mine. IT'S MINE!!!! Officially. Insurance, payment, handshake, keys. (And a stone hitting the windshield making a crack first thing when I enter the highway...) Irony. But not even that can decrease my happiness the tiniest bit. Out celebrating with Sz at our favorite Indian (Bebe).
I have a car!!! I have a caaaaaaaaar!!!!!!
(And his name shall from now on be Hjalmar)

One of the highlights yesterday was one of Ane's new songs (haven't heard it before), in which she sang in French and was accompanied only by a chello and snapping fingers. Another highlight was when Anna Ternheim entered the stage and sang The Beatles' From me to You with Ane (see video - sorry about the sms vibration ;)). Goose bumps!
...concerts like these make me fly...

I didn't know I had a second name. Ninja fish - I like it!

Now I won't get lost when I head out for my future roadtrips. (...I have a tendency to get lost othewise...) Could very well be the best looking navigator on the market as well.
Today's happy surprise: My manager mentioned a marketing course the other week and asked if I knew about it. I didn't and he then said "oh, then it's a surprise!". Today I got the invitation - me and 30 hotshots (mostly marketing and communication heads etc). Business Marketing Strategy Program, given by Kellogg School of Management Executive Education - seems to be case based and include a lot of "after class" activities and other fun stuff. Wohooo!

Soon I will sit behind MY wheel, in MY leather seat, listening to MY car stereo, change MY six gears. Already starting to book roadtrips and mini vacations and volunteering as personal chauffeur.
Please, let the papers arrive tomorrow. This is almost as preoccupying and distracting as being in love. Can you then imagine being both at the same time? (No, Helena not so efficient today - pas du tout)
