Party, party!!


The weekend had been absolutely great!
On friday when Nick came from work he dressed up and said maybe we'd go out.. we've been home alot so this came to me as a surprise and I asked what was going on, then there was something happening in the town, like a market or something were people were selling their old stuff and shops were open and with special offers, there was a big stage setup very close close to our home and live music there while the bar next to it had a BBQ and there were tables set out on the streets wich were closed from traffic.

The plan was just to walk and look, but at the bar where the stage was we had to wait for Nicks friend who was checking for something in a store there (mamma budin sem tig langadi ad kikja inn i sem var med 2 ginum alltaf "sitjandi fyrir utan budina") . Well he took his time so we figured we needed something to drink so I had my usual Kriek and Nick had a beer, and when we were on our seconds his friend came from the store and then of course he needed a beer as well and then we had one more and then I said we need to move on if we're gonna look at the things here.

Nick spotted a box filled with old toys, and the toys were for sale for 20 cents, so we bought the whole box for 2 euros and the dogs got some new toys:)
Joey and Casper got to tag along to this market-festival and thought it was great.
We saw alot of things, and then stopped again for some beers and krieks for me, I went home and left Nick there, I had to take Casper and Joey home, it's a bit hard sitting there with both dogs in my lap demanding attention and then falling a sleep (and therefore always almost slipping out of my lap) so I took them home, spent some time with the other dogs and then crated them and went out again, I couldn't drink more Kriek, sometimes I can drink plenty and pretty fast cuz they are good, but sometimes I turn into a whale and get so bloated and that was one of those nights, I had already had 8 or 10 or something so maybe it's natural, but I just feel SO bad when it happens and it looks like I'm pregnant!

So I made Nick finish his beer and come with me so we could eat dinner, it was already 11pm and we hadn't had any dinner yet so we found a burger joint and had a burger and were home around midnight, we had to take a detour so we wouldn't pass the local bar with the stage where most of Nicks friends were, we'd never gotten to pass it without stopping for at least 2 beers.. if not more.
We had plans on saturday wich is why we didn't keep on that night, we had a birthday BBQ planned for Nicks friends and I had to do some cleaning, washing and shopping and I didn't want to have a hangover for that.

So on saturday we went late to the market, around noon, got the usual chicken necks for the dogs and dogfood, and I went on to get some tulips, then we had to to help Nicks friend to buy sheets - I had to help cuz he's from the states and doesn't know the size of the bed so I had to go see the bed and estimate how big it was and then go find sheets, but the store was closed so that didn't get done. Then we went home, I started cleaning and cleaning, I thought everything was pretty clean but I wanted "this, this and this" to be good and then some more things added on my to do list and I was cleaning all day making the house ready for the party.

At 7pm we fired up the BBQ and about 40-50 minutes later the lamb went on it.. ICELANDIC lamb yummi!!! It was good!
We had some champagne, the fridge was so stuffed that nothing was really icecold.. it's still a bit stuffed so I haven't been able to get an icecold cola like I LOVE to have after a "rough night".
So we stayed home all yesterday with our deer guests, it was fantastic, I think everyone was happy, the house was emtpy at 5am and we went to sleep shortly after that.
I was wise enough to do the dishes immediatly and take some glasses as they came and then in the end of the party I started to do some more cleaning because I didn't want to wake up tomorrow and have to do everything then and I'm so happy I did that!!

I just woke up on my ease, let the dogs out downstairs, let Lucy out upstairs, fed the cat, started to prepare lunch for us, my famous "croc Margret", Nick has been nagging me for days to make one but I hadn't done it for a while.

Today was an easy day, we watched Mother of Tears a kind of a horror/thriller something, not a good one, don't recommend it.. if you don't like blood this is definetly not a movie to you, they are poking peoples eyes out and torturing and poking sticks into womens private parts and sticking them all the way throught the body absolutely yucky, we started watching it while eating and I lost my appetite the first 5 minutes so we stopped watching it.. I don't like these types of movies.
Then while eating we watched "conspiracy" with Val Kilmer... a rather dull movie, then Nick started watching the awful movie again and I for some reason thought I'd try to watch it with him.. hope I don't get nightmares. The acting in it was also awful!
Then he watched a movie called doomsday, I had had it with dark films for the day so I did some other stuff.
Sunday evenings are always good TV wise, there's Las Vegas, followed by NCIS, followed by CSI Miami, followed by CSI NY and then it's time to sleep:)
I've paused CSI so I could check my mails, facebook and showresults from Iceland:)
Gotta go down and watch it so I wont be to late in bed, I'm getting visitors tomorrow.
It's people I met when I went to the Amsterdam winner show, they were totally in love with Ira and are interested in a dog from me perhaps next year, they are on vacation in the neighbourhood and asked if they could come for a visit and meet the dogs so I had to say yes to that:) Very nice people, hope I'll have a nice pup for them one fine day.

So untill later.. I have a busy day cleaning in the attic so Lena can sleep here.. after cleaning the entire house everything I didn't know what to do with went up there and now it's time to get that semi-organized.. at least so Lena can sleep there:)

Have a good one:)
