Some of the amazing drink decorations at Painkiller:

An amazing drink

Winter!?!?!

So winter is back :(

Currently 43 degrees outside! Brrr...

Yesterday it was still pretty nice outside, even though it was cold the sun was out and I played Tennis for the first time in my life. (Maybe I played like twice as a kid but I can't really remember. Loved to play badminton though (:)

It was really fun and definitely something I will do again. Especially since they have lots of tennis courts in the park right next to the building I'm living in.

But my right arm is shaking some today still, haha.

Sun through the rain

The other day I got this year's first mosquito bites. It's usually awful for me, and so was these at first. Three on one knee, two on the other. But this time I treated them with aloe vera gel and I've never seen mosquito bites fade that fast on me :)

Just wanted to share that knowledge as a recommendation. =)

Managed to be pretty productive today already; I've done two loads of laundry, done dishes, organized and cleaned at home, also took a walk in the soft spring rain to the deli and did some miner grocery shopping. Loved that rain, it was raining a lot under massive clouds, but the drops were so light and the birds were singing while you could see the sun slowly working it's way through the sky. Raised my mood so much.

Hope I have some energy left to see my visiting swedes tonight =)

Good morning

Been awake for a few hours already. Was hoping it would be nice weather outside so I could make the most of the day but forecast is saying thunderstorm...

Well, could be nice with some rain to get rid of some pollen :)

I've been so tired lately

but still have had a hard time sleeping.

Think I've had a cold on top of the allergies. Worst spring ever.. .when it comes to allergies.

The plan is to do something fun tonight, with some of my friends that's still here visiting NYC, so I'll get a chance to get my mind off of it. Gonna be fun! But I'm gonna need a nap midday then for sure. Siesta. =)

More Painkiller

So tonight is the opening of Painkiller.

I wish I had a picture of the pretty drinks when they were just made, but they were so good that they disappeared too fast ;)

Painkiller

The coolest bar in NYC will open this Friday: Painkiller

A tiki bar, mixed with the concept of 1970's New York culture.

Painkiller is the name of a cocktail, which they of course will be serving there.

I tried it the other day on their friends&family opening: delicious.

Well, honestly, there's very few drinks these guys can make that I wouldn't adore.

Here are some other reviews of Painkiller that I found.

Google by google doesn't work with google

(This happened on my swedish account so I must write another post not in English. I appologize to everyone who doesn't understand swedish...)

Jag kunde inte logga in på mitt email konto. Gmail. By Google. (Viktigt att tillägga i sammanhanget.)

Så jag felsöker. Följande fråga kommer upp och jag kryssar i "inget av ovanstående":

Vilken webbläsare använder du? Firefox Internet Explorer Safari Inget av ovanstående

Andra webbläsare har tyvärr inte fullt stöd i Gmail, och Gmail-funktionerna kanske inte fungerar korrekt i dem.

Det spännande i sammanhanget är att jag har Google Chrome. By Google. Och den webbläsaren har inte fullt stöd i G-mail???

Vad är det jag missar? Om det är så att Google chrome används via någon av de ovanstående skulle det ju förklara saken men fortfarande väldigt dumt uttryckt. Kan någon förklara för en datanalfabet som jag?

Uppenbarligen kan jag ju nu logga in på mitt Blogger konto iaf...

Nu loggade jag in på engelska versionen och där finns plötsligt Google Chrome med!!

Fins inte Chrome i Sverige, är det därför?

Missing

Sometimes it just sucks and eats me up alive that I'm so far away from my family and friends in Sweden.

To not be there to share the good times and to not be there through the hard. I'm also grieving that I'm missing the small details in the every day life that is so valuable.

For them of course but also for myself, I WANT TO.

But I guess I can't give up my own life in order to share theirs.

Starting this summer I'll definitely travel to Sweden more often!

Until then I can just wish they know how much I'm thinking about them, missing them and wishing we would see each other more often.

Especially my highly loved and adored mother and brother. The best.

Both of my previous room mates are back in the city for a few weeks. Both very excited to be back :) Going for dinner tonight.
I can tell it's spring; so much is going on and NYC is really blooming.
Literally and metaphorically.
I'm already over spring though, want it to be summer again =D
