Sweden here i cooome!


I just booked my our flights to Sweden after 2 1/2 hours hunt of the best price.
Man, it sucks being obsessed by finding best price. How many hours of my life haven't i spent looking at every god damn booking site?! If i would get paid for that- i would be a millionare!!


Lucky hubby is snoozing and lookin' all cozy here in the bed. He's alright, he's been sleeping since over an hour already. I'm the booking gal. Its my job. (mostly because he wouldn't care and just buy the first best ticket)

So, since it was a kinda big price difference between arriving on the Friday and Monday, i unfortunatly chose Monday Sept 20th. 11.30 am. Papou? Pick up pleeeeease :-D

David will be arriving Saturday Sept 26th, and he will leave for Paris on the Monday. Then he will be back in Sweden Tuesday oct 6th. Which i think sucks because its his only vacation this year and we cant really spend it together this year. But i understand that he needs to see his family too of course.
So I will not be going to Paris this year. :-(
Then....that sad horrible day will come, Sunday October 11th, when we will head off to San Francisco again.
Then it will be a looong break until next time. Uhhh, its gonna be hard this time. I can feel it already.

See ya soon!!!
4 weeks guys!!

Its really lots of fun putting your face in babies bodies. It really is. I mean, if you're bored and have nothing else to do, yeah, why not.
Bring on the babies!

Babyface

So last Sunday I had my first Au Pair meeting!
I had it together with the two other SF LCCs Rebecka and Lily. It was one of those boring meetings though- "playground safety"

Wohoo, exciting, i know. The Au pairs need to have 4 meetings a year dedicated to safety.

I didnt do much, Becky took the lead since she is the most loud, talkative and experienced one. So, yeah, good for me.


Funny thing was that when i came there, and went up to the Au pairs and said
"hi"

They looked at me. Then one of them said "Hi, are you a new Au Pair?"

My oh my. Do i REALLY look that young?
I laughed and said,
"nope, I'm actually you new LCC."


Then Becka and Lily came. I never met Lily before, and Becka introduced us

"Oh, are YOU the new LCC??"

"Haha yeah, i guess i fit more in with these guys though huh?"
I said pointing to the Au pairs.


Well, lets hope this babyface keeps me young until I'm 60 :-)


I had to do me as a babyface

And it was so god damn ugly i had to do David too :-)
I think out kids will be gorgeous!

Rosi and me



I just got finished editing Rosis wedding photos!
Got some nice shots although i didn't really concentrate :-) Rosi was sooo beautiful!


I will put the best ones up on my blog after i send them to her, and she has seen them. So they might show up there next week or so.

Photography assistant!!


Oh my, I'm so happy today!

Not only did I manage to get my fat ass to the gym this morning, i met up with a wedding photographer for coffee!! We talked about the business and our backgrounds. Turns out that the day I got married on Mt Tam, she was also on Mt tam celebrating her 40th birthday!! We both looove Tam!

Anyway, she was really nice, down to earth and easygoing! Kind of hippie style! And she wants ME, MOI, MEJ, to be her assistant!! How awesome isn't that?? WEIIII!

I'm so happy right now i dont know where to go! Is this the beginning?

Not only is she nice, she is actually really good. She knows what she's doing for sure!
Here is her website Julie Mikos and her blog Julie Mikos blog

So, the first wedding she needs help for is September 5th (like Fernandas wedding last year!) And hold on now, I will even get paid!! Thats even more awesomeness!! The awesomeness is just...raining over me here!!

It would also be awesome if Hubby could get his ass home and make that blue cheese pasta that he promised me.

The city of angels- L.A!

Okay, these photos are over a month old now! But Sarah, I really can't wait any longer for you ;-)
This is from when Sarah was here an we went to L.A!


So its Thursday 2of July. David is 32 years old now, and we are leaving for L.A!
The swedish "XL drink" and american "small" David is upset about the ketchup. And I'm hungry Well he got himself some ketchup the morning after.
Breakfast at our favorite place! Mel's on Sunset! their breakfast is awesome!
Let the sightseeing begin! The monkey tourists!
All the Tv stations and Film studios made Sarah go a little nuts. Just a little. Everyone knows this street. Wisteria lane! Who eats popcorn like this?? Oh yeah, americans Film sets at universal studios We wanted to get in.... I didnt really know what Sarah wanted to do here. I still don't know actually. "Gnager pa kax" (nawing on shoulder) David didn't want to pose. He was embarrased because people were staring. Wow. pretty sight. I'm impressed though!
My god this is ugly. After visiting the hollywood sign, universal studios boardwalk, we headed to Hollywood Blvd. Farrah Fawcetts' star. Michael Jacksons star. Sarah found Steven Spielbergs handprints! And i found johnny Depps! We ate at CPK (california pizza kitchen) (Is David eating the napkin?) (What am I doing?) Hollywood Blvd! We were ready to head out! David stayed home (He's 32 now u know tssss) We're obviously trying to look sexy here... I'm not so sure its workin' we went to the Viper room, Johnny Depps club! And where River Phoenix died of an overdose! COOL!! No, honestly, it was a cool club. Bands were playing, and we got chatted up by an author and some Finnish dorky friends of his. (they never talked to us though, they just stared and then got all crazy jumping around on the dancefloor) I felt a bit like a misfit, lots of hardcore dudes. We went a little crazy in the bathrooms. And on sunset Blvd i smelled a flower. (little bit tipsy) We got o ride in one of those cool cabs N.Y style. very exciting... On saturday, the second day, we bought a starmap after lots of annoying factors we found a good one. They're selling all along Sunset, but they're bad, and non-color. And they were expensive! I tried to explain to the seller that i wanted it cheaper, because it was a confusing map. And it didn't have any "green patches" like my old one had! He refused, so we left, back to Hollywood blvd and found a map for half the price and that had all the colors! When we drove by him i showed him the map, and he just looked at me. Haha! His loss!

this is Johnny Depps gate Here, with this awesome view, lives Leonardo DiCaprio! and there he is! Thats Leo! On the side there!! We took this photo, then we skreetched out of there in high speed. Afterward we felt bad. Like stupid paparazzis!! Courntey Cox and David Arquettes house This is where is spent a few days, at Georges Marcianos house! The last house M.J lived in, and where he died. Flowers outside his house Steven Spielbergs gate! After the star-searching, we went to Santa Monica boardwalk and had some food. Gave a monkey some money and shook his hand. And he tried to steal my headband! Santa Monica beach Lots of people were here. It was 4th of July! This one is just so ugly And...heres another one whos ugly! Hollywood blvd! korean BBQ! Awesomly tasty! Magic! Should i have my hair like this tonight? Some drinks at Geisha house Their corridor was neat! At a hookah lounge! A hookah is a waterpipe, and its NOT like smoking cigarettes. This one had mint chocolate taste! I disapperared in a cloud We went to a club. Got in for free (after i insisted!) Sunday, breakfast on Melrose ave. SOOOO GOOOD! Other hungry people in line are checking out Davids waffles and berries! Paramount pictures. The transformers. Again, Sarah wanted to get in.... Then it was beachtime! Malibu beach! At Malibu beach, they had really stupid toilets. Whats the point?? Donald duck Antother morning. And early one. Going to get some conan tickets!

Then we went to Warner bros studio tour! This is from Spiderman. Where he hangs upside down and MJ kisses him. The original entrance to "E.R", before it becamse so huge. This is where Tom Cruise stumbles out from the bar in "the samurai" and from "the gremlins" Mainstreet. On this street there have been lots of films shot. From friends, This is where chandler and Joey runs after the bus where they left Ross's baby! Road to perdition was also shot here!
Heres where the friends gang play football. and again from friends, where Phoebe with Joey and chandler, runs over the dog, outside her fathers house. Friends again- the park where Phoebe and Rachels went running, and Phoebe has that funny way of running. and this alley is where Rachel and Monica are spying on Jean-claude Van Damme in friends. Sarah in central perk! Downtown L.A! Hollywood hills and century city in the background I was scared she was gonna fall. In "Yes man" this is where the girl does Yoga. Griffith observatory. After Griffith, we took the beautiful mulholland drive to Encino, where M.J grew up, and where his family still lives today.
We were all taken.... It was sad... the gate to their house People from all ages were paying their respects. Tuesday was the day of M.Js funeral. The parking is usually 10 bucks...nope, not today. A-holes! Outside the staples center. It was like a circus! A little airplane made an "M" and then a heart around it. Moving. After staples center craziness, we headed to forest lawn to see if the caravan came there, but we held close phone contact with Mama and Lena in Sweden (whoa that bill man!) and found out they werent coming there.
It was time for us to go to "the tonight show with Conan O'brien". It was soooooooo awesome!
Sam. L Jackson and Kevin Conelly was the guests.

Watch the episode!



After the show we bought some sunflowers, i wrote a note, and we went back to Encino again, and put the stuff there.

People were devastated!
And thats theeeeeeee END
(almost, now its only rest of week 3 and week 4. Man, blogging takes time!!)
