Blog-list-o-mania: Part 6

10 things on my mind at the moment.....in random order (besides the first one, which is for sure at the top of my mind)!

1. Major life change coming up and EVERYTHING (a darn lot) related to that ;)
2. Holiday plans...or should I say lack of?
3. A meeting tomorrow. Interesting one for sure.
4. What to make for dinner. Green asparagus.......with?
5. How to find time for my project X (will only share the details behind the X once it's more concrete...)
6. Wether to watch a movie or read a book tonight. Any good suggestions?
7. Weekend plans. Hiking? Biking? Picnicking? All of them? Hmmm....
8. Why is my ear bubbling?! If this is an ear infection, I will scream! Enough issues lately and certainly don't need another one.
9. When can I start playing football again (my foot is not healing fast enough)?
10. How to ensure a steady flow of my favourite thing to drink at the moment as it's only available in Sweden AND it's just a promotional/seasonal product!!! GAAAAAHHHH I can't live without you - LOKA Likes L.A Coconut Dream!! So delish and completely sugarfree.

- Not having enough time to see all the people I am missing in Sweden. 


That's it for now.... Have a woooooonderful week!!

Blog-list-o-mania: Part 1

Blogger lists....challenging and fun? Boring and non-creative? Ridiculous? Interesting? Well, I'll let you be the judge of that. I have anyway decided to start this series of blog lists that 1.

I hope some of my fellow blogger friends will follow ;)
