Wordy

Hello again.

I'm wearing my horns. Seems like a good time to start wearing them now. Maybe I'll wear them to work tomorrow?

Or maybe not. I cut my hair last friday, going from quite the length I'd saved up since last summer, in order to have enough to have a proper up-do for the wedding. Now it doesn't even reach my shoulders, and it's been layer cut. The last two months or so my hair has also decided it wants to go curly, so it's a bit frizzy now. But I like it. It could curl up some more, to make proper curls, but wavy is nice too.

But yeah, my point... at work, everyone commented my hair. It was distracting, I mean, did it look THAT bad before? Keep in mind I have mostly male co-workers... Oh well, I'm pleased with it anyway.

We still haven't gotten closer to a decision regarding our honeymoon. So far all we know is that we have to count on paying a shitload of money, unless we decide to go UFO-hunting in Sweden, as Hubby so elegantly put it. I don't want to go UFO-hunting...

Looking forward to the Yule holidays. A lot of stuff already planned for december, but all nice, charming stuff. For instance, the traditional Yule market at the folk museum. I hope there'll be snow, and that can shoot some idyllic photos.
Oh, and the smells... cookies, and candied apples and gløgg. Oooo!

Looking forward to fixing all the gifts also. This year we've got it all planned, practically.

The dark, bleak winter is much easier to bear when I start thinking of all these things. Weee!

Calling you travellers out there!

Hubby and I are trying to plan a honeymoon next spring/summer.

Except we're almost clueless as to what we want to do. Or, we know where we want to go, but don't have the details ironed out yet.

We want to visit several European cities, such as Rome, Venice, Dubrovnic and Barcelona. And maybe tour Germany. Or England.

I checked how it would be to do a sort of castle tour of Brittain, but what the hell? Expensive much? Especially this place, a tree house. Just look at it, doesn't it look like the coolest place to spend the night ever? I would adore spending some nights in different castles, with whimsical rooms with hidden bathrooms and stuff, but it doesn't look like we can afford it. We are going to splurge, but I would prefer to have at least a two week honeymoon, instead of spending the entire budget on two nights at a quirky castle.

Then, seeing more of Germany would be nice too. And they have nice little quaint villages with charming B&Bs and... oh, I want to do all of it!

I also want to see Italy - tour Rome, see the Doge palace in Venice, eat Italian ice cream and in general, enjoy the beautiful architecture.

And then there's all the funky buildings in Barcelona, the Gaudi-stuff, and apparently it's one really nice city. I wouldn't know, I haven't travelled that much. Which is why I can't make up my mind now. I want this honeymoon to be memorable, and I want to do everything at once.

We're contemplating doing a cruise in the Mediterranian, but whoa mama, how to navigate in the jungle of cruise offers? I'm reading and reading until my head hurts about different cruise liners and itineraries and ship reviews and... Then there's the worry that cruises are for 55+ and families with noisy children.

Oh, and Croatia is supposed to be beautiful also. The choices, the choices. So many places offer stunning architecture, medieaval-ness and history - just what we're looking for.

So... Anyone have any suggestions?

Oh, and on a completely different note. We had a storm last night. It actually moved our BBQ... o_O Nothing's broken, but we had perfect timing on chopping down those pine trees outside this week. We had four tall and slim pines outside, two of which had damaged roots from when they built here. The other two blocked our sea view.
We chopped them down last... wednesday I think. Talk of perfect timing, honestly... those two with damaged roots had humpty dumpty written all over them.
