RIP Whitney Houston

Im still sick (yes, im stuck with this flu i guess) and not feeling well. But i had to come write about Whitney Houston. I cant believe she died. I know she lived a troubled life, filled with drugs and alcohol. But THAT VOICE!! I honestly always thought, that one day she will make a come back. Maybe when she´s 50 or 60 but one day.. Unfortunately i was wrong.
I remember when i was a young girl, didnt even know much English. I listened to her songs and got chills when she sang i will always love you. Her voice was angelic, just effortlessly beautiful. She was and forever will be, to me, the greatest singer and the most beautiful voice.

RIP Whitney Houston - Your music will live forever, and you gave voice to a lot of feelings.

flu

Hey people. Just wanted to let you know that i have the worst case of flu. I cant really focus on blogging or anything else for that matter. All i been doing for 2 days now, is laying under covers, sleeping and complaining how everywhere hurts. And im serious too, every single joint i have in my body is aching so much. That pain with temperature, stuffy nose, cough and headache is no joke. I´ll try to rest myself better and get back to you later.
Stay warm and eat vitamins!

The horrible ZIT

I dont know why im posting this, because it discusts me already just to write it. But is there anyone else out there, who reacts to zits as strongly as i do? I´ve always had a pretty good skin, even when i was a teenager, i was lucky enough not to have zits. And if i did, they would disappear fast and i would get like one every now and then.
Now that im close to 30, i seem to not be so lucky. When i get one (its not if anymore), i tend to get it in my forehead or my chin. Right in the middle so it cant be hidden. It also gets big (under the skin), it cant be popped, it hurts and i just looks like i hit my face on something and it swoll up. I HATE IT! It can seriously ruin my day, even a week. I cant let it be, so i touch it and it gets worse. I try to hide it, but since i know its there, i feel like everyone is watching it. I keep asking man can he see it: "can you see it now?" , "what about now", "what if i stand this far??". So this morning, out of all the mornings that i´ve been here without having to go anywhere. I have a HUGE (to my opinion) zit in the middle of my CHIN!! OH MY GOD!! How can i hide it? How can i possibly travel with man´s team to their game. And better yet, how can i go out in the evening and have a super bowl party with this ALIEN IN MY CHIN??? Ok, maybe im being a little sarcastic now:) But honestly, a zit really ruins my mood and makes me feel ugly. Is there anyone out there that feels the same? Or am i just too used to having good skin and im being shallow now??

Now i will try to go put make up on and hide it. We´re leaving in 1,5hr, man is still sleep and so is doggie. Im over here stressing about my face, i havent even packed anything, and we´re staying at K´s after the game. I wish, i wish that this day will get better. I hope K feels better today after losing her pet yesterday. I hope our company can cheer her up. I hope man´s team takes a win! And that he can play with his knee that he hurt yesterday in practise. I hope that Finland will get a good president today, and that some nice restaurant will show us Super Bowl tonight, so we dont have to go home to watch it, but instead party at the same time. Alot of wishes for today.

Who said sundays are boring?

Cold

It just keeps getting colder. I haven´t gone out all day, no i havent even walked doggie cause she just wont go. She did her business in the bathroom and refuses to go outside. Its now over 30 degrees negative.

My good friend K, who was here last weekend, told me that her cat passed away today. That brought me back memories of when my dog, that i had since i was 9 years old, died 2 years ago. It was so hard. So all the strenght to K, it is so sad but we cant keep our animal friends, or any friends of that matter, forever. I hope she feels better soon and keeps in mind that her pet is now without any pain.

We´re heading that way tomorrow. Man has a game close to where she lives. And we should be staying there after that. But we´ll see how she feels. Its also super bowl tomorrow, so we´ll be staying up all night watching it on tv! Hope everyone has a good weekend! Give them furry family members a hug cause no matter how we love them, they´re not with us long. Our doggie will be staying with man´s two American teammates tomorrow after the game, if we dont come home that is. Its so fun that everyone likes doggie, you can always find someone to babysit her.

Shopping in the cold

It is absolutely FREEZING! I mean it always gets cold in Finland and Northern Europe in general. But this year it stayed warm for so long, that this temperature now just feels extra cold. It is now 25 degrees BELOW zero. Yes -25 celsius. We use celsius degrees here, and converting into fahrenheit is not something im good at, so you can google it ;) Lets just say that, i have dark hair, i went out today and it was silver/grey/white once i came outside. And doggie will not even go out. I can take here there, put her down, she does her business and goes inside. She will not walk and even standing looks funny, cause she keeps lifting one paw at a time off the ground. Yea, yea, im Finnish so i should be use to this cold, right? No. I was born here, but i wasnt born with fur, geesh.

Today man didnt have practise, so despite the cold, we took a bus downtown and while he was having lunch at their team lunch place, i went "shopping". I call it shopping, even though most of the time, i really dont get anything, i just look around and might even try stuff on. I think its a fun waste of time and just walking around town, you see so many people and different styles, and can get inspiration for dressing. Well, i did find two tops. I been wanting something new to wear under my cardigans, and something long too so i can wear it with some comfy leggings. The tops are actually jersey dresses from the summer, but lucky for me, short enough to look like tops. Also what was good about them was the price. 15.90€ regular, now 5€ a piece! So i got myself a white and a black one. They were from a store, i NEVER find clothes from, called Anttila, which is a department store, and the brand was Rut.m.fl. I was looking at their clothes over there and there was actually some other nice pieces too. Also, what i realized was that Nelly.com (a good internet clothing store) actually sells Rut.m.fl. So even though Anttila is not the fashion store at all for me, atleast this brand was nice and is good to know they sell that brand somewhere other than online.
The tops i got were very much like the green one in the middle of these pictures. Only difference is that my tops had pockets on the side. A very good deal i would say, and sooooo perfect with leggings and a cosy, warm cardigan.Just what i wanted!

Its time for me to go make some salad, and watch man cook for himself. Im being lazy, and because im not eating carbs, im letting him do the cooking tonight since he wants something with carbs. Have a good rest of the week. We´re already half way done!!
