Decade in Review...

From January 1, 2000 - December 31, 2009....
How Many...

People did you kiss? One needs to kiss a lot of frogs before one find her Prince... ;) I found mine in September 2000 and kissed a few frog at the start of the year. Let's say more than 5 less than 10 and leave it at that? :)

Countries did you visit? 4...maybe? Sweden (lived in Scotland in 2000) , Ireland (for about 3 minutes but still!), France (for about an hour or so) and Finland...

Places did you live? I changed my address 7 times in the last decade. Major moves being from Scotland and back home to Sweden and then from our flat to our house... but, moving together with S in Scotland was kinda big too I guess... ♥

People did you date? Hmmm... Not much of a dater - more of a kisser! *blushing* I think I've only dated one person in my life...! That was the summer before I met S. ;)

Times did you get drunk? Whoa! :/ *lol!* Too many to remember sounds terrible but it's sort of true...! Not even once in the last five years though... (not so sure that compensates the previous 5?!)

Books did you read? No freakin' clue!! 50? Not likely to be less, probably more...

People were living with you? In total during the last decade I've lived with... 15!

Animals were living with you? Grand total: 13 (10 fish moved in at Xmas -09)


What was your...

Favorite movie? Difficult one to answer, move in with a movie buff at the beginning of the decade and he "forced" me to watch a loooad of old (and new ones!)...hmmm... Frequency, Star Dust, Mother of Mine, Moulin Rouge...to name a few.

Favorite concert? Only been to two in my whole life and only one in the last decade. Tracy Chapman played at the Playhouse Theater in 2000 and it's my favourite one of the two (the other one being Bruce Springsteen in Stockholm -98?)

Worst experience? There's been a few along the years... Most of 2009 kinda sucked but we're moving on... What's important is that the "worst" moments have brought the best out in people close to me and they've shown me what truly matters in life! :)

Happiest moment(s)? To name one is impossible. My wedding day! My babies! ♥

Biggest change? This whole decade was a big change: I grew up really... I went from single girl to wife and mom. I think life was the biggest change. It's hard to imagine that any decade ahead will be as full of new experiences as the last one has been...

Biggest surprise? Life again... I mean, I could have never imagined life to be the way it is now at the beginning of 2000. Stephen, Sweden, married life, motherhood...all have had they're own surprises.


Did you...

Break a bad habit? Sure, and started "new" ones... ;) My temper is always a work in progress.

Start a relationship? Yes :) A few in fact.

End a relationship? No, not really... I might have grown apart from some people but I'm still hoping that I might grow closer to them again...

Change jobs? Kind of...but not as big changes as I would have hoped... ;)

Change living situations? A few times! From live-in-au-pair to living in S's student flat to living with S to moving to Sweden and staying with big sister and brother-in-law to our own place again...from apartment to house...

Lose a loved one? I've lost family members.

Start a new hobby? No. Well...! :D Started line dancing with my sisters, loved it but stopped when we moved to our house...so gave it up but it was great fun and I could consider picking it up again.

Have an addition to the family? Yes! Stephen, Ossie, Charlie, Julia, Elsa, Anton and Erin.

Get married? Yes! April 26th, 2003

Get divorced? No.
