Random thoughts on a Saturday night that nobody’s going to read anyway because everyone’s too busy having a life.Tilfeldige tanker på en lørdagskveld som ingen kommer til å lese likevel fordi alle er for opptatte med å ha et liv.
Posted by Adrenalynn on 4 July 2009
I’m on vacation. The best kind, too; on my couch. I have four days of no work and all relaxing fun ahead of me, and I intend to use it. I might go outside occasionally, you know, to yell at the kids for not sharing their toys.
In my New and Awesome Job™ I get to talk to Swedes a lot on the phone. And those people never fail to charm my socks off. There’s just something about the Swedish language that gets me all giggly. Try sounding professional while you’re twirling your hair between your fingers and grinning like an idiot. I’m so glad video phones never caught on.
I had the pleasure of watching these two awesome people get married this weekend. To other people, not each other – in case you wondered. I love me some weddings, especially the ones I get paid to attend. I’d really love to tell you that I enjoy singing at weddings so much because it’s so wonderful to take part in a couple’s special day and do my best to make the occasion even more special. But you all know I’m too much of an exhibitionist to believe any of that. Plus, those tear-jerking ballads really do it for me. And wearing pretty shoes.Jeg er på ferie. Den beste typen også; på sofaen min. Jeg har fire dager med ingen jobbing og bare avslappende moro foran meg, og jeg har til intensjon å utnytte det. Det kan være jeg går ut av og til, du vet, for å kjefte på ungene for ikke å dele lekene sine.
I min Nye og Fantastiske Jobb™ har jeg gleden av å prate en del med svensker på telefonen. Og de folkene klarer å sjarmere sokkene av meg hver eneste gang. Det er bare noe med det svenske språket som gjør meg helt fnisete. Prøv å høres profesjonell ut mens du tvinner håret mellom fingrene og gliser som en idiot. Jeg er så glad for at videotelefoni aldri slo an.
Jeg hadde gleden av å se disse to flotte menneskene gifte seg i helgen. Med andre folk, ikke hverandre – i tilfelle du lurte. Som jeg elsker vielser, spesielt de jeg får betalt for å overvære. Jeg skulle virkelig ønske jeg kunne si at jeg liker så godt å synge i vielser fordi det er så fantastisk å få lov til å ta del i et brudepars spesielle dag, og gjøre mitt beste for å gjøre anledningen enda mer spesiell. Men dere vet at jeg er en altfor stor ekshibisjonist til å tro noe på det. Og i tillegg har jeg en skikkelig ting for sånne tårefremkallende ballader. Og å ha på pensko.

I hope your enjoying your vacation, I wish I had one

Long live the Swedes! My husband’s genes gave me the most gorgeous little bambino. Yup, I have a huge ego when it comes to my kid. It’s sick.

Hi J.D. – thanks for coming by! Bork!
Hi Jarle; yay! He’s back! You’ve been missed.
Hi Extreme John; that’s my impression of Swedes as well! They’re so much nicer than Norwegians, I’ll tell you that.
Are you not even getting a few days off? That’s terrible! I’m counting on lasting the rest of the summer with just these three days of rest and fun!
Hi Hesham; it is great fun! Maybe you could take up singing- or maybe juggling, and perhaps the same opportunities will come along for you!
I’m not on the top commentators list so…
Um, no- you’re not going to be either, until you get a website
I’ve decided to only let hyperlinked commenters be featured. Sorryboutthat!
Hi Kristin; heh, I do that too. Don’t worry, I’m sure it’s normal. And of course your genes had something to do with it as well!
Hi Hicham; That’s true! Imagine people working in customer service or tech support not being able to laugh without the customer seeing it!
