Xmas



Xmas is all about food, more food and of course family. Knowing that you are only supposed to eat what can be in one of your hands it is pretty scary how much you eat during christmas. You eat even when you don't feel like eating just because there is so much of it. It is almost as if you have to make up for all the times you have said 'No' to chocolate cake, candy etc. all year - judging from the amount of chocolate I had it would definitely have been healthier to say 'yes' more often all year round rather than eating one year's accumulated sweets in just three days!

Barcelona - on a 3 day shopping and bar spree






The first time I visited NY I fell in love with the city to such an extent that I suffered severely when having to leave. Barcelona is the only city so far that have come close to giving me the same sensation of feeling heartbroken when going on board the airplane not knowing when I will be back. This time I went there with all my colleagues and all though Barcelona was as charming as ever we might just as well have been to Calella or Ibiza. No sleep, too many drinks and extremely close to being thrown out of the hotel you should have thought we were a high school class on it's first trip away from mom and dad......but what a blast!

Xmas dinner






December is normally a tour de force in heavy Danish traditionel food and social arrangements. This year has been a bit less hectic social wise and less heavy food wise, which makes you appreciate both - you could say 'less is more'. And no words are needed actually, we all know the drill.

What friends are for...





I guess you wouldn't say not having a wardrobe is a crisis situation but it can almost feel that way when you have lived in a complete clothes caos for months. And when finally getting the wardrobe it is as heavy as a car and almost as impossible to assemble. And that is what freinds are for - among other things - helping you out by engaging in the physically and mentally challeging situation...
