Doing great...

So... All in all me and kiddo are doing great.
We enjoy having close to the store and the fact that we´re not alone in the woods anymore...

I can´t wait for spring when we can get the bike out and actually enjoy the surroundings.

I love having neighbors around and I´m sure the are highly (or not) amused by the fact that I perform P90X every night in my livingroom. (that´s an excersise form, people)

I also tend to forget to put clothes on, while walking from one room to another. A habit I picked up when I lived in the country, with no neighbors to look into my home...
This can proof somewhat problematic IF I HAVE been spotted naked. It is, after all, a small town.

I secretly enjoy listening to noise from my upstairs neighbor, even though I hardly ever hear anything. I imagine things they´re doing, and it´s not always "pure thoughts".

It seems I´ve been "neighborley starved", and I can feel how comforting it is to be back in an apartment again. I was, after all, born and raised in one.

I can see before me how I spend some lazy summer afternoons at my balcony, reading books and drinking coffee, waving to some bypasser below me...

Also, packing a picnic basket and head to the playgorund with kiddo, and watching her playing with some other kids...

So, all in all, we´re doing great...

Ah, well...

So... after taking advice from Über-blogger, K-Swiss (my nick name for my awesome "SIL" in USA) I decided to try and awake my blog.

This past year has really ment a lot of change. A LOT!! Y´all know: divorce, the passing of my sweet friend Sara, and also my neighbor Sune.

I had to put my "firstborn", sweetest Lana, to sleep.
Sold the house, moved... Aaaaaaaaaaaargh!

You name it, I´ve lived it!

Still, sitting here tonight, I feel a sense of calmness, and a sense of strenght. I feel, for the first time in a loooooong time, happiness and joy.

Not that there´s anything new to report from the land where Iceage (1 & 2) apparently was filmed on location, but I just feel that I can REALLY start over now!

It might be the new year, or the fact that I´ll turn 40 (FORTY, ladies and gentlemen), but I don´t feel I have anything to hide or to be ashamed of.

I have the best kid in the whole Universe (yeah, and all of you too, I know *lol*), a great apartment, fun and caring co-workers and a family that´s coming together, slowly, for the first time since I can remember...

I truly am blessed!!
