Another great weekend

Last friday was the preview of the musical "Oliver!" in which my 15 year old brother has one of the leading roles. I was a bit nervous but he did so well, I was really impressed. He sang, danced and acted like he'd never done anything else.

On saturday me and my bf went to my parents house to change the tires on my car. It was about time, as it had snowed quite a bit on friday. On our way back we dropped of my actor brother for his premiere (he's the one in the top hat, image from KUF) and then headed on to prepare for our evening plans, the dance gala!

We had so much fun, although we don't actually know the steps (for foxtrot) we made up our own and managed to get around the floor without crushing each others feet or anyone elses for that matter. It was great, I usually end up feeling kinda depressed and out of place every time I go out to clubs or events such as this one, (or my works x-mas party) but this time was different. I'm starting to believe that I could go anywhere with my boyfriend and enjoy it, because he's there. I'm so glad we ended up together!

This weekend was also what many call Halloween, but personally I'm a bit bothered that the rest of the world want to copy the americans and cannot stick to our own traditions. Because we do have our own holiday on the 31st of october, the all saint day, when the tradition has been to visit loved ones and relatives graves and light candles on them. But nope, I guess the younger people who perhaps dont have any graves to visit prefer to use any excuse to party...

About five years ago I did however go to a Halloween party, here pictured with my roomate at the time, who was pretty hot in that bin-liner...Wow, crazy how fast time passes. I cannot believe it 's been five years. Mad.

Moving-in party and a movie (or two!)

On saturday I had a small moving-in party with a few close friends. This is what I served:

Very tasty, and most of it healthy as well. It was pretty nice to have a part of my teenage gang assebled again, it has indeed been a while! One of my friends is engaged and pregnant with her second baby, another is also engaged and works as a journalist, one is a teacher to be and the fourth is on her way to egypt on holiday right about now...We had a lot to talk about!

I've been thinking for a while about this whole blogging thing, why I read blogs and why I write my own. In the end, for me, all it really comes down to is inspiration. I want to get inspired and I want to inspire others, the same way they inspire me. I used to borrow interiour decoration magazines from the library and actually photograph the pictures that inspired me and then save them on my computer. Now, I hunt the web for pretty pictures, patterns, colour combinations and appealing design. My folder of inspiration has 2299 files in it and it just keeps growing! And to keep me inspired I have set it as a screensaver-slide show, works pretty well...So I thought I might start to share a little bit more of my inspiration with you!

Todays theme is the movie "8 femmes", or "eight women", it's in french, it's a musical and the clothes are fantastic. See it if you're interested! Imdb link here.

Hah, as I was finishing this post the phone rang. It appears I have won a couple of dvd's in a competition! How funny, I never win anything...I think it was the latest Cameron Diaz film + another one. Wow. Add that to my collection of what, 8 dvd's in total? Anyway, I'm pleased! :)
