New sneaker today! A new pair of converse, my old red converse has been retired and gone to "shoe heaven". We had a great run together, but it was time to part. I just hope my new ones and I has as good time as the old ones! ;-)
(All shoes/sneakers 20% off on Stadium at the moment, I may go back to buy more!!)
Since yesterday afteroon, my green Billie Bob hat is M.I.A - missing in action. I lost it at the Skandia Movie Theatre, while attending a conferance and when I asked the staff this morning,if someone had found it, they said "No".
Billie Bob was my favorite hat, in my favorite green colour! Here are some pictures of those happier days:

I have seen most of these films, and some I need to see agsin! Play along if you'd like!
It's really windy outside today. A pot of flowers (showing above) actually moved a bit this morning but I saved it before it hit the ground. I bought some balcony decoration yesterday, a blue butterfly.
Laura tagged me for the 7 random things about me meme. So here ya go!
1. When I was a kid I wanted to be a midwife or an actress or an reporter or a teacher or a librarian or working in a bookstore. I never wanted to be an archivists. But here I am, I have work at "my" archive since 1994.
2. I'm suffer from dyslexia. Mildly anyway, I have problems with p and b, d and t and top of it I'm a bad speller both in Swedish and English. I am relying on my English/Swedish/English dictionary. I have (problebly) edit this text a couple of times. And I bet there are some wrong spellings in this text.
3. I love to send and receive postcards. When I travel I send out a lot of postcards to my friends and families. I have recently been swaping postcards with Jamie (Thank you!) And I would love to get one from your part of the world!
4. I wear a skirt most of the days - at work, at home, at parties, at dinners. My skirt wardrobe is packed with skirts for diffrent occations and seasons. I love to wear a skirt or a a dress. When I get dressed in the mornings my first consern is that I will feel confortable and I do that in a skirt or dress. I feel free and pretty.
5. I recently got my new drivers licence. I had my licence when I was 18, but I have actually not drove a car for about 10 years. I live in a city with a public transport system and I use it every day. I actually don't need a car.
6. Weekend breakfasts are my favorite time of the week, Sunday's are always egg, bacon, fresh orange and grape juice and Saturday's are diffrent every week. Today I had yoghurt with fresh strawberries and a Crisp bread - Knäckebröd - with smoked turkey on. And with lots of tea to go. And my weekend breakfasts takes place in the living room, curled up in the sofa, watching a dvd movie. Today I saw Ned Kelly with Heath Ledger and Orlando Bloom.
7. In my teens and early 20s I was obsessed with the italian and the american mafia culture and anything related to it (the Kennedy's, Jimmy Hoffa, Marilyn Monroe, Lucky Luciano, Bugsy Siegel, Cosa Nostra, the history of Sicily). I read a lot about it and I saw a lot of movies and TV-series about it. One of my favorite movies are (still) The Godfather, part 2. And Sopranos is a favorite of mine.
And if you're up to it, you're tagged!

Some of us are blessed with straight hair, others with curly hair and some are blond and some are brownish. When I was a little girl, waaay back in the 70s, I was a blond girl with some nice waves in the hair. The older I got my hair turned darker and darker and I became brownish (the colour is described as "Swedish rat" boring brownish/greyish - I have dyed my hair since I was 16, so it was a long time ago I saw my real hair colour) but I still had a nice wavy hair.
The big change came the year between 11 and 12 (early 80s - a hellish year - everything became diffrent - you all know what I mean, Ladies). During that year my hair totally change... I became very curly and I mean CURLY. OK, both my mother (curly with red hair!) and my father (curly with black hair) has curly hair, so it was no surprice (the only one with nice wavy hair in the family is my sister...). So since I was 11 1/2 years old I have been on war against my curly hair. A constant war to get it less curly. My biggest enemy: My hair and moist weather... The only thing working for that is a hat... The past years I have become more calm about my hair - but I still fight the curly, I'm trying to tame them, somedays I win and others my hair win..
I was at the hair dresser today. I needed a hair cut and what's always happen is that the hair dresser goes completly gaga over my hair and the blow it bigger and bigger everytime... So when I walked out from the hair saloon I had the feeling of a big 'fro.. To tame it, I'll braid my hair (I always have a braid during the night..) So I'll hope I have a less afro tomorrow.
Dream hair? Long and straight!! ;-)
Happy Birthday, Ia! I hope the kids and the grumpy man celebrated you big time! Paket kommer!KRAMAR!
