Today we brought a surprise to our dinner hosts; a bottle of champagne.

We had a nice thai-dinner at John and Anna's.

Day 7 - street

This is the main street in our neighborhood. I think it is so nice with the Christmas lights, and luckily for me they were still there today on our evening walk with Ebba (our dog).

Day 6 - mine. We bought electric toothbrushes for our family, as a healthy Christmas present. One is pink, the other one grey. Daniel and Linus share the grey one (they come with changeable toothbrush heads), while the pink is solely mine! :-)

Day 5 - movement. We are watching the Junior Hockey World Championship finals. Sweden vs USA. Unfortunately we did not make it, but it was very exciting.

Linus chewed a lot of candy and Daniel went up from the sofa to cheer, so it sure was a lot of movement here!

Day 2 - something new. These are new pills for the pain in my back. Hopefully they will make me more movable so that I can start my exercises, and get well soon.
What a way to start off the new year... but I guess it can only get better now. :-) And on the plus side, the pills are pink, that must be good!

First day of the new year; blue skies and sunshine. This must be good! :-)
Happy New Year!

A Photo A Day 2013

I've decided to kick off 2013 with a new photo a day challenge - #fmsphotoaday by FatMumSlim. The pictures will be taken with my cell phone camera and primarily published on Instagram. I'll try to add them here as well, but maybe not daily.

I've decided to not do Project 365 anymore. The "duty" kind of took the fun out of it. I'm very happy for the years that I have done, and I might very well do it again, but 2012 will be captured in a more relaxed way.

Good luck to you who still hang in there, and thank you so much for all the nice comments over the years.

I have another blog showing off occasional photos every now and then. Here is the link if your interested: ZeldaZoey Photography

Hugs,

I now have 27" to spread my stuff on. // Datorskärmen gick sönder för ett par dagar sen, så jag fick lov att beställa en ny. Den kom idag och är till och med större än den gamla.

There were both ups and downs and we didn't really like the sames, but it was very interesting. // Daniel har köpt ett sett med gamla whisky, och vi bestämde oss för att prova dem ikväll. Det var både gott och inte så gott och vi tyckte inte riktigt om samma sorter, men det var väldigt intressant.
