What a week!

First I want to thank you all for your kind comments, it always helps to know that someone is thinking about you:)

On Wednesday was also midsummer day here in Denmark, and all over the country they set up big bonfires and burn a witch. I hadn't been to one of those since I was a kid, and we had decided to go this year. I must admit after my uncle passing away I wasn't much in the mood for it. But then again I thought it would be good to get out of the house for little while. But being a bit beside myself I of course forgot my camera so I don't have any pictures of it, so you have to do with one found online.

On Thursday I talked to my boss, because I had to get time of for the funeral on Tuesday. I think I mentioned it before, but I will gladly do it again, I have the best boss ever! I realised we hardly were anyone on work on Tuesday due to the holiday season starting. So I told him I could come in in the morning, but he told me to take the whole day off and not worry about it, they would manage!

On Thursday night Denmark were playing their 3rd game in the World Cup. They played Japan and had to win in order to stay. But they didn't win, they lost 2-1, and play horrible! On the day Japan definitely deserved to win, so congrats to Japan for moving on!

Well tonight we are having some friends over for a BBQ, which I'm really looking forward to but the weather could be a bit warmer. Earlier this week they promised lots of sun over the weekend, and we planned a BBQ, so I guess we will be eating inside tonight. But hopefully tomorrow will be sunny, because then I want to find my sun-bed and relax with a book in the sun!

Enjoy your weekend.

I know I said my interest wasn't too high when it came to the world cup soccer games, but I will admit if I have a chance to watch the games Denmark is playing, well then I'm watching.

Last night I had a chance to watch Denmark - Cameroon. The game wasn't more than 6 minutes old when Dennis Rommedahl had a big chance of scoring a goal, but he missed. Not long after our goal keeper made a huge mistake and Cameroon was in the lead... Okay let's face it, at this time I start to loose interest, and begins to do other things. I went to kitchen and made coffee, and I hear my husband yelling "Yeahhhh" and the game is now at a tie.

After the break I start to watch again, hey now we might have chance of winning... Dennis Rommedahl get a chance again, and this time he doesn't miss, and we're in the lead 2-1! But that wasn't the time to relax, Cameroon put a lot of pressure on us, had a lot of chances, but we were lucky and we won.

Dennis Rommedahl was definitely the player that saved the game, I used to think he didn't really deserve to be on the national team any longer, but now he is my new hero. He is the best Danish player so far, hopefully some of the others will learn from him and we will win against Japan on Thursday... keep your fingers crossed for me... and Denmark:)

A little thing that made me smile

I know I yesterday said I wasn't really into the whole World Cup thing, but after seeing people changing their profile pictures on Facebook, well I got a little caught up with it.

Someone have created this page called "5 million people, 1 mission", they are trying to get the entire Danish nation to change their pictures to red and white.

You are able to edit your picture to look like a soccer fan, and here is my result... so liking the World Cup Games or not, this made me smile:)

Enjoy your weekend.

The weekend is here

Finally the weekend is here, it have felt like the longest week ever. But now the weekends is here, and I'm ready to enjoy it.

Tonight will be a slow and relaxing night, I'm all ready on the couch with my coffee. I have decided that the last housework will have to wait till tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow night we are having a summer party at work, we will be around 160 people. I'm quite excited to just party for the night. Ahead of time some of my colleagues are coming over to my place where we will have a few drinks and some nachos. So keeping my fingers crossed that the sun will be shining tomorrow, it have pretty much been raining all week.

Otherwise the weekend will probably bring quite a bit of soccer games with the World Cup Games starting today. I'm kind of excited about it, and kind of not... I'm going to watch the games Denmark is playing and probably the final (maybe that will be Denmark playing... probably not, they haven't done too well the last few games). But the next couple of weeks is going put my marriage through a few things. We have all ready watched the opening game, last night we watched something leading up to the World Cup Games, tonight we are going to watch Uruguay-France... hey come on it has only started and I'm all ready kinda sick of it. So if I'll still be married after the World Cup, you better congratulate me:)

The game...

On Sunday afternoon we went to watch the final soccer game of the season. Our team had a chance of getting bronze medals, they just had to win with one goal more than another team playing at the same time.

Here I am all ready to go, and ready to cheer for my favourite team. Go EfB!

Since it was the last game of the season, they had to announce the winner for player of the year. You have been able to vote for you favourite player online. One of the people who had voted for the number 1 player got to fly into the stadium in a helicopter and give the player flowers. The player of the year was Nikolaj Høgh.

The game started out good, we got 1 goal, we got 2 goals and we got 3 goals...

In the break the cheerleaders were dancing, hey let's face it, cheer leading isn't the most common thing in Denmark, so they are nowhere near the lakers girls:) But they do it for free, only get their uniform, and the practice twice a week, so you got to like them.

After the break, the opponents scored 1 goal, 2 goals and 3 goals... and of course that is not worth photographing... I still can't believe how you can throw away a 3 goals lead??? Well the game ended 3-3 and we didn't get any medals this year:(

So this was me after the game, not happy!

Hopefully they will get medals next year!

A cold and rainy Sunday!

What do you do on a cold and rainy Sunday like this one?

I went to work at 8.00 am for 1½ hour, then I went to the opening off a new pet store just next to my work. They had a lot off great opening offers. So we got a few bags of cheap cat food.

And I had finally convinced my hubby that Gustav's biggest wish was a cat tower, preferably with a hammock, but they are so expensive (Yep, I'm totally thinking Gustav tells me stuff he doesn't tell my husband). One off the opening offers was a cat tower and we bought it for Gustav.

My hubby always thought he wouldn't use it, but he was mistaken. He loves it, and this might be the best thing we ever got for him, well this and his toy bumble bee from Ikea.

So on a rainy Sunday I'm enjoying Gustav's fun with his tower. And keeping my fingers crossed for the rain to stop, because later we going to a soccer game. Our home team is playing the final game this season, and they have a chance of getting bronze medals. It's only the second time the new stadium have been sold out, first time was for the opening a few years ago. I'm super excited.

Happy Sunday to you all.
