And now it is already Thursday.  Time sure does move fast these days.  I'm not sure if it's because I'm getting older or just more going on??  Let's just agree with the second part.

So I have noticed the last two weeks I have had a lot more blog readers.  Kind of cool to see that people are actually reading this thing, but sometimes I wonder if it's any exciting for them...haha!!  I guess I don't have to do or say anything special, but I'm feeling a little more pressure. 

Well let me give a brief re-cap of my week.  I must say that there is not as much going on these days now that I live by myself.  Don't get me wrong, I'm loving it...just not much to report.  On Monday night Julia came over to my place for fika!  I made some american cookies that turned out horrible.  I put too much butter and not enough flour and they baked like a cake...FLAT.  Haha, so we still managed to eat the cookies by just bring forks to the baking sheet and eating it like a cake sort of.  We went through some old pictures of the last 2 years and were comparing the years.  Crazy to see how different each year is and to see how much has happened.  I will have to try and post the pictures later...because I just tried and it didnt work.

Monday and Tuesday were days of rest for me!  Didn't do that much, I'm just trying to get my body to recover and be ready to go for this weekend!  Wednesday I went to school in the morning.  Yesterday was also my dad's birthday, so I called him and wish him a happy birthday.  Too bad I couldn't be there to spend it with him.  It would of been nice!  Hope you did something exciting Dad!

Today it will be morning practice and then lunch with Maria!!  Evening practice tonight and then a calm and relaxing night at home!  Hope everyone is having a great week!!

We are loading up for our next game vs. Brahe at Gammlia on Saturday kl. 15.00.  Can't wait!!  1-1 is not a bad a start so far!!  Haha!!  Talk soon!

I AM SORRY!!  I haven't had anytime to blogg lately.  Things have been crazy.  Got back late Sunday night from our game, which we lost by 30 pts...went to school early the next morning and then moved out of my old apartment into my new apartment.  So things have been crazy busy.  I promise tomorrow I will sit down and write a good blogg!  I know you people are dying for a good update from my life!! Haha!! 

Once I get this moving thing settled and figured out...then I will have time to myself!!  Then BLOG TIME!!

Hope everybody is having a great week!!

Just another day in paradise today!!  No school today, went to shoot-around, lunch, then to the bank and finally some cleaning!!  Nice to have a clean place now!!  Looking good.  Soon I am leaving for another school to work a basketball class, over in Merihem.  Hope to get some kids to show up!

The season premier is vast approaching.  Saturday we leave early morning for Norrköping and play our game on Sunday vs. Telge.  FIRST GAME OF THE YEAR...HORAAY!!  Looking forward to it!  Telge is a young team but will still be good.  We are also a young team, but have nothing to lose.  Vi får se!

Tonight we have practice and then probably watch some Idol!  I will now leave you with some pictures that I took the other night...very random.

  

Gangster Bri and the Ranging Irishwoman!

Pretty boring week, I wish I had something fun to report.  Talk to you later!!

PEACE!

So it is almost 11.00 at night and I NOW finally have some time to blog.  It was a busy weekend and today was busy as well.  Quick recap of this weekend...

Saturday, Bri and I went to town and met Julia for some shopping.  Then went to a hejdå lunch with my American friend Danny.  He is leaving, going back to America for probably 6 months or so.  So I won't get to see him for a really long time.  We ate at the Taj Mahal and it was ABSOLUTELY amazing!!  Loved it!  Excellent choice with some great food!!


Danny and I at lunch.

After lunch...Bri, Aisling, Julia, Danny, Mila and myself went to the Umeå FC game to cheer our soccer buddies on!  They ended up winning the game 4-3.  They came out strong starting 3-0, and then the other team started to creep back...but luckily they finished it out.  After the game we walked back and for some reason we had tons of energy and really enjoyed that walk back!!

    

At the game...

Jumping for joy after the game!!

After the game we watched The Proposal on Tony's sweet projector he let us borrow!  Then being sacked potatoes, we decided to stay in for the night and watch another movie...but of course after we shopped some godis!  We watched Jumper the second time...great film!

Sunday we had practice, lot's of running which was good for me...then Bri and I coached some 95-96 boys team, then to the Umeå City-Täby innebandy game, which City lost 8-6 I think.  The evening was just spent relaxing, I called some family and went to bed early to prepare for today.

Today, went to Dragonskolan for a basketball class with the 93 guys at 8.30 in the morning.  Unfortunately only one guy showed up due to miscommunication with their normal teacher.  Tomorrow is the same class.  Then I went to the hospital and got a MRI on my hand.  Hopefully SOON we will find out happened with it!  That took almost an hour and half.  I was laying still in the machine for almost an hour....crazy!  It's hard not moving, eventhough I think I did fall asleep at one point.  Aisling came with me, which was really nice of her...and when I came out she asked me why it took so long.  I looked at her weird and said it was only 30 min.  Judging by her weird expression I knew something was off, I looked again at the clock and in fact...over an hour had passed.  Anyway, that was a neat experience.  I have now gotten an MRI twice...once for my shoulder, and now for my hand.  Hopefully we get the results back in a week or so.  Then we can answer this great mystery about my hand.

After the hospital, it was shopping over in Ersboda (Stadium, Intersport and Coop) and then basketschool at Teg, then lifting and running at Gammlia (on our off day) and finally the Dalen women's innebandy match, which they won 8-7!  FINALLY home ready to go to bed for another fun-filled day tomorrow!!  It's nice being busy, makes the time go by faster.  Also keeps me pretty entertained.  

Will be interesting to see how my team ends up for our first week of FANTASY FOOTBALL!!  We will know after Monday Night Football.  Wish I could stay up and watch, but I can't.  Must sleep!!

Well I rambled on more than I expected to.  Talk to you soon!!

On Saturday was our team building day!!  It was good day spent with the entire team, and very eventful as well!  I think I will explain as I go...

We all met up at KFUM for some team activities which involved us all getting to know each other better.  My favorite thing was putting each person in the middle of the circle, and going around to each person and having them say what they like about that person.  Haha, I bet you can only imagine what they said about me.  Actually not too bad, just that I am a intense person on the court and that I leave it on the court when it's over.  That was what they said for the most part.  Mila the Russia was the most shocking in this group.  She is really warming up to us and had some of the funniest comments about people.  Since her english isn't the best, it was a lot of acting and expressions...haha!!

   
Sitting around in a circle...wearing our comet jerseys.

So the reason why we are wearing our jerseys in the pictures is because we did some PR stuff down in the centrum... for our next activity of the day.  We put on our Comet jerseys and collected money for Världens Barn. (The World's Children).  Giving back to the community...that's what we are all about.  Carro, Julia and myself were one group and I can honestly say that we collected the least amount of money.  I feel kind of bad about that, but we just didn't have the talent like Johanna, Hanna, and Emma's group!  They did a great job!  Anyway, some people were really nice and some not so much.  But overall, it was a great team effort!!  And we were right there in the middle of all the people in town!  Good work!! 


Har ni kronor för världens barn??
  

NEXT was lunch at Max!!  My favorite fastfood here in Umeå...WAY better than McDonalds.  Yep the American said that!!  It's some good stuff!!  It was a beautiful day out, so we ate outside and enjoyed the shinning sun!!  Until the crazy lady came and started yelling Swedish profanity...but up until then it was quite pleasant!

  

Then we were off to Lake Nydalla to go paddling in canoes.  The funniest thing was when Bri and Aisling fell in not once but TWICE!!  Then afterwards, Aisling and Tony were just trying to dump people in the water...but I think they got the worse end of the stick.  Although AK was dumped in, I think she seeked her revenge when she tossed Tony's shoes in the lake.  Good fun for sure!

   
Aisling and Bri falling in...the lake...Tony and Aisling being evil...AK after being dumped in :(

Finally it was the team dinner at our assistant coach Chris's house.  He lives outside of Umeå about 25 km or so, north.  Not sure the name of the town.  It is a house right by a lake that was absolutely beautiful.  I think we took some really pretty photos there, and it was a lot of fun!!  Good times for sure with the team at Chris's!! 

  
  
In the movie theater!!  Those that could...relaxing with a glass of wine!

Now model time!!!!....
   


Then it was time to BBQ and eat!!!

Putting the young girls to work!


HOW BEAUTIFUL!!!  Perfect evening, perfect night, perfect time with the team!!  GREAT DAY!!

Thanks team for an amazing day!!  It was a lot of fun and I feel like I know everybody so much better.  Which I guess was the whole idea of this thing!  Mission accomplished!!

Now a little update on my sister Courtney.  I got a hold of her last night and she seemed to be doing much better.  She has her moments of sadness and also happiness.  I think it is still setting in for her and it will continue to do so.  I really wish I could be there for her now but I am in thought and prayers!!  I will keep her and Russ's family in my prayers.  I know this is a really difficult and hard time for them.  Love ya sis!

Take care everyone...vi hörs!! 

Life is a valuable thing that sometimes passes by us way too fast.  There are people in your life that mean a lot to you, and you love them more than anything in the world.  My advice today is please go tell them that!!  Appreciate what they mean to you and tell them you love them!  Today I was reminded just how short our lives are when I found out that my sister's best friend has died.  Russ meant a lot to my sister and touched her life deeply.  Now my sister will have to embrace this and go through a very rough time.  My heart aches thinking of all the pain she and his family are going through.  This is really hard for me to write now, but I want to express some thoughts and concern.  Courtney, I just want you to know that I love you so much and I will try to be with you every step of the way, if not physically but mentally...especially with my thoughts and prayers! 

I love you very much Courtney...More than anything is this world! 


Please everyone, go out and hug a loved one.  Tell them how much they mean to you and that you love them!
