All grown up

We cut his hair on Saturday. I know I said we would never and that I had a long debate about it here but we did it and it looks awesome! He's so pretty. He looks all grown up and no one mistakes him for a girl now.




He's all grown up now. Yesterday he named one of his toys. That's a first. So far nothing has a name unless I have given it one. But yesterday he took his BRIO dog that he got from Maria, Jason and Natalia for his baptism and named it Nina. Nina is our neighbours dog so it's not completely random.
Today we went to IKEA and he chose his own food from the menu and then proceeded to eat it all which he never ever does when we eat out. He also got his own little cart and pushed it around the whole shop. We finished to shopping with ice-cream which he ate without spilling any while sitting on a real chair. He also climbed into the car and into his car seat by himself. Soon he won't need me anymore.

the new soundtrack to my life

This song has been on repeat in my house and in my head since Monday's episode of Chuck. If you are not watching Chuck you really should check it out. It's a great show. And Bon Iver is a great band, you should check them out too.

Love is a losing game

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Set iPod to "Shuffle" setting

2. Next question, next song

Here's mine:

1. If someone says “Is this ok?” you say?

Your pretty face is going to hell - Iggy & the Stooges

Well clearly it's not ok at all...

2 . What would best describe your personality?

Girlfriend in a come - The Smiths

I don't know what to say to this... I guess I'm about as much fun as someone dead?

3. What do you like in a guy/girl?

Upon this tidal wave of young blood - Clap your hands say yeah

I guess this means I'm a bloodthirsty vampire who likes them young?

4. How do you feel today?

Ode to my family - The Cranberries
I'd say homesick a little and very much in love with my little family.

5. What is your life’s purpose?

God Monster - Cramps

This can either mean I am supposed to be God or I am the monster that kills God? Or maybe I am a monster created by God?

6. What is your motto?

Mother Nature's Son - The Beatles

Yeah I'm a hippie mama!

7. What do your friends think of you?

Satin Sheets - Silverchair

The true meaning of this escapes me... maybe I am nice to sleep on?

8. What do you think of your parents?

Saturday Night - Kaiser Chiefs

I am yet again baffled by the deeper meaning of this. Maybe my parents are fun like a Saturday night...

9. What do you think about very often?

Wings of a dove - Madness

Well I saw a pigeon today and I thought a lot about how it kind of looked like the pigeons in Bolt but they're not exactly doves are they and I don't think I've ever thought of doves. Maybe it's symbolism... wings of a dove might mean death and in that case I guess I occasionally think of death and what would happen if I died or someone I loved died.

10. What do you think of your bestfriend?

Let me tell you about my boat - Mark Mothersbaugh

I really like this answer. It means that I think of my best friends in terms of us being able to talk about anything.

11. What do you think of the person you like?

Starman - Seu Jorge

How to interpret this... hmm.. I love you baby!

12. What is your life story?

From a balance beam - Bright Eyes

Well I better stay on the straight and narrow or I'll fall off my balance beam.

13. What do you want to be when you grow up?

It had to be you - Billie Holiday

I guess that means I want to be the one to blame...?

14. What do you think when you see the person you like?

Raining in Athens - Azure Ray

You are so beautiful it rains in Athens every time I look at you!

15. What do your parents think of you?

Dragonfly - Azure Ray

They think I flew far away from home, and that I'm pretty.

16. What will you dance to at your wedding?

Good Song - Blur

Well I'm already married and I didn't dance to Blur and I don't know what we danced too so good song might be the right answer after all.

17. What will they play at your funeral?

Good Fortune -PJ Harvey

It was good fortune for you to have known me?

18. What is your favorite hobby/interest?

Zeplin Song - Courtney Love

Yeah... No that's not right.

19. What is your biggest fear?

Hate - Cat Power

To be hated. (Great song by the way you should all listen to it)

20. What is your biggest secret?

Love is strong - The Rolling Stones

I love my W and my J more than anything and now it's no longer a secret?

21. What song will be the title when you repost this?

Love is a losing game - Amy Winehouse

Great song!


I think I should probably mention that my playlist I shuffled from is shared with my hubby J and our son W and also contains the songs I have to listen to for work so I wouldn't say that this list is an accurate summary of my musical preferences.

Another thing... Marie I know you did it in Swedish and I was debating doing yours but then I have to cater to the people who don't speak Swedish so I went with the English version. I hope it's ok.

I can't wait

I honestly can't wait for this



I read this book to W every night and we've shown this trailer to him and now when he hears this song he says Wild Things.
