In today’s morning yoga class, we started off with some “X”s and crossing the mid line, things I like to do when I take modern dance classes or what I use when I teach. Yoga mats were rolled up and put to the side and we were doing things on the floor. Omg, I miss taking a real good modern dance class. We didn’t do a lot of it in the class this morning, but I realized how much I miss rolling around on the floor. I do it at the gym all the time as a warmup but there’s something special with going to take a class, be surrounded by other dancers and feel the surface underneath the body.  

Apparently it’s 10 years since I joined Facebook too. I went on the app on my phone and facebook played a video for me, like they do sometimes. I must have been really busy on my computer on June 3rd, 2007, hahah.

Jim is at dinner with someone through work and I’m at home with my pup. I picked up some thai food earlier and enjoyed it in the sun on the rooftop and now I’m sipping rosé (since it seemed like a pink day today) and thinking about if I should play God of War or not. It’s still pretty early and I’m not sure what we are going to do later tonight, but I guess it depends on how late he’ll be home. 

Have an awesome weekend!

Happy 10 year anniversary to my blog! It’s unbelievable that I have been writing online for over ten years! 

Technically, I started a blog on December 25th 2006, but this blog was created on June 3rd, 2007. It was located on a Swedish blog site for a few years until I bought this domain and decided to do it all on my own. The best thing about having a blog for this long, is that it really is my diary. It’s fun to go back and look at what I’ve done throughout the years. Sometimes, when I don’t remember a name of a restaurant or a date or whatever it might be, I go on my blog and search for it. 

My blog started as a fun thing to do. I like to write and I love taking pictures and a blog was a good way to include both. It’s been a great way for family and friends to follow me around wherever I’ve lived. For the past few years I haven’t been posting much. I have thought of giving it up several times. But I like having a blog and I want to put more focus on it. I hope you continue to follow me and my adventures. 

Picture from PHD this weekend in NYC

This morning, I got asked if Thor wants to be a model in the afternoon today. Our building has a photographer coming and she wants dogs in some pictures. Thor is a very good model when we are alone (check his instagram account and you’ll see: @athorablenyc), but he gets very nervous when it’s too much going on around him, so I’m not sure how this will turn out. Hopefully they can get some great photos (or I have to just take my own and send it to them, hahah, no, just kidding). 

I wanted to take a yoga class today, but after all the dancing in the city this weekend I have huge open blisters somehow on the top of my toes from my heels. Weird placement and it’s really really bad. I tried to do down- and updogs at home yesterday but the pain is not fun. As a dancer, you always have bloody feet, blisters and bruises all over and it rarely bothers you. But then sometimes you get really bad ones and you feel like the whole world collapsed. It looks better today and I’m hoping that it will heal enough for taking class tomorrow. My husband and I had a lot of fun this weekend though, so it’s totally worth it, even if I can’t do yoga or barely wear shoes 🙂 

The rain woke me up at 4am today. It took me a few seconds to realize it and then I jumped out of bed, rolled up the curtain and ran to grab a towel. We had the window open and the mosquito net, the window frame, the inside of the curtain and the carpet was all wet. Not a fun choir in the middle of the night. It took me a while to fall back to sleep and in the morning I was too tired to wake up. When I finally got up, I had missed the first yoga class so I thought I could enjoy a nice breakfast and take a class in the evening instead. But I know myself, I would not go there in the evening. So during my walk with Thor I made a decision to take the next class that was going to start in 40 minutes. Quick shower, brushed my teeth, drank a glass of water and then I was off to class. I kinda ran in the rain to get to the studio in time. 
I’m glad that I went. After class I felt great! Every muscle in my body had been working and I was ready to take on the day. Or, that’s what I thought. Sitting down for breakfast (yes, breakfast at noon) made me sleepy and soon both me and the puppy were taking a nap on the couch. The whole day just disappeared. I haven’t done anything today really, but I have the whole night still. My husband is going into Manhattan tonight for some work party so I’m going to have dinner, stretch my body, work on a few things on my laptop and go to bed early so that I can get up tomorrow morning with a lot of energy.
