Long live the 90's!

Went to hairdresser's yesterday. It took 3 HOURS!!! And I have short hair!
This weekend I've really been doing nothing. Outside it's kinda rainy and moist. So I've just listened to CDs, browsed through some old pictures, some reading - it feels nice :)

Tomorrow (early) morning I'll start off for Riga. Work-related trip. On Friday I bought a 90's collection - I think I'll find it energizing on the road :)

Definately maybe

My first lawn mowing this year took place on Tuesday. The evening was nice, a bit chilly and filled with wonderful smell of freshly cut grass. The first lawn mowing is always the nicest one, later on it gets a bit tedious. But the feeling of stepping out the door on Sunday morning onto soft and cool grass with a coffecup and pancakes - that is worth all the trouble!!!

I've persuaing my colleagues to participate in a RatRace - that is a fundraising event for office people, where a team has to "run" a kilometer or so in the old town, looking as "officerat"-like as possible. So far the participation list contains almost 3 people, which is not as good as result as I expected. But I'll keep trying :)

To be honest, I have not done any jogging since the 1st May race around lake Viljandi. Lack of motivation or something. But currently I have the feeling that I'd rather run to my dance classes than take the bike. I definately will have to go for a jog tomorrow right after work - otherwise, who knows what Friday evening might bring :P

In my highschool yearbook is written characteristics about you given by others. And the last sentence in my characteristics was "wants to live her life so that after 60 years she will have something to remember". I must say, that got me thinking... My 25th birthday is not far away. Have I done or experienced something special worth remembering? Or has it been an average life of an average girl? You know, I really got stuck here. Well ok, I've been to places (nothing exotic), but in a global world that we have, that's quite common. I've met some people, I've been hurt, I've healed, I've learned... I'm not saying that my life is bad, not at all. I have someone to spend my life with, a home(bank loan) and interesting job, friends and hobbies. But there is a 'but' it the back of my head, asking what do I want from life, not what I think others would think that I would want from my life. Ok, my thought is stuck again... I will continue my search some other time :)

RealPlayer is currenlty playing Marilyn Monroe's "Diamonds are a girl's best friends" - this song always gives me good mood. The tune, the feeling, the lyrics, the style - bubepedooo :)

And finally - why are there only big pigeons on the streets, where are the baby-pigeons??

My education is what stands in the way of my learning

I like to come a bit early to the office. It's all nice and quiet. I can enjoy my first cup of tea (Lipton Rasperry is my new favourite :P) and gather my thoughts, go over the plan for the day. And add something to my blog... :)
Also, the traffic is much lighter before 8 o'clock. Although traffic jams do not bother very much if you come with a bicycle, but it is nicer to cycle when the neverending line of passing cars doesn't leave you in a puff of CO2 or cloud of mud. The number of cyclers is growing on the streets of Tallinn, but it's nothing to compared to Stockholm or Rotterdam or Copenhagen. No wonder - mostly it's more struggle than pleasure to commute with a bike in Tallinn. But I'm just doing it out of lazyness - it's just so boring to sit in traffic jams.
I came across my high school yearbook yesterday evening. Oh what memories it brought back! Boy, it was a crazy time the last two years of high school :) - the shows we made, the activites we brought to life. Seems that the classes was something that happened in between - the important things were done between and after classes. Pity though, that I haven't kept in touch with many of my classmates...

I definately have to mown the lawn today. The dandelions are really getting fat and juicy.

If you're reading this .... then welcome to my blog!!!

Honestly speaking, I've never been good at keeping a diary or so... Hoping to see a change this time.
Today was Mother's Day and as a normal Estonian I have spent the day at my parents' garden... working. Luckily the weather was sunny and warm, the extra D-vitamin will do me just good. I'm not sure how much good all the bending down did to my back-muscle which I hurt on Thursday, though. But I guess, I'll find out tomorrow :)
