It's all good

Well, this layout was kind of easy. I wrote the journaling down kind of like a diary entry, just to capture the feeling I had that day, borrowed the title from Ali Edwards, took a self portrait of me and Kayleigh (Kayleigh was in the playful mood so that added to the theme of the page) and then just picked some cool paper and flowers and foam stamps - and voila, a page was made. Love it! Love this hobby!

• English version:
  Do you know the feeling? - Some days you're just happy without no particular reason. I was happy when I got home from work today. Work went okay - even though I still don't get all the stuff about colli, boxes, numbers etc. I'm starting to get the fun inside-the-house mails and also had a great mail-correspondance with janne from customer service.
  And even though I didn't catch my train home and had to take the slow train a little later, I was sitting in the train thinking how cool it was to have that time to relax and do exactly what I wanted. Today it was listening to great music on the ipod, reading Ud & Se and looking in Elsie Flannigan's book which Peder gav me for Christmas. All good.
  And when I got home I was met by a small happy doggie sweetie and took her for a walk. First we met a small dachshound who was out walking with a cute boheme philosopher kind of guy and when we were done talking to them, we met Kid and talked a bit with him. He told us that he was playing at Godset February 23th - african music and reggae - and we talked a bit about his class in african dance at FOF.
  When we left him I was wondering if I should attend african dance class and that we might should go to that concert - and inspired by Ali Edwars I considered if my word for this year should be 'new'. New as in new challenges, new things, new experiences.
  In some ways I'm already starting on that because I'm having a new job in a line of work I don't know and at the same it's my first full time job.
  And right now I'm waiting for Peder to get home and we're hopefully going to watch the NFL game from Sunday and see Patriots beat Chargers and reach the conference final and hopeful further on to win the Superbowl and we're going to relax and have a great evening - maybe even scrapbook a little - and tomorrow is friday, I get paid and it's weekend. It's all good. (January 18th 2007)

  Kender du det? – Nogle dage er man bare glad, uden egentlig nogen speciel grund.
  Jeg var glad, da jeg kom hjem fra arbejde i dag. Det gik okay på arbejde – selv om jeg stadig ikke fatter alt det med colli, kasser, kartoner, antal etc. Jeg er begyndt at få de sjove mails, der bliver sendt rundt internt og havde også en hyggelig mail-udveksling med Janne fra kundeservice.
  Og selv om jeg missede mit tog hjem og måtte tage regionaltoget lidt senere, så sad jeg i toget og tænkte over, hvor fedt det var at have den tid til bare at slappe af og lave lige, hvad jeg har lyst til. I dag var det lytte til god musik på ipod’en, læse Ud og Se og kigge i Elsie Flannigans bog, som Peder gav mig i julegave. Alt godt.
  Og da jeg kom hjem, blev jeg modtaget af en glad, logrende lille hundebasse, som jeg straks tog med ud og gå. Vi mødte først en sød lille gravhund, der var ude og gå tur med en halvlækker, boheme, filosof-type fyr, og da vi var færdige med at snakke med dem, mødte vi Kid og snakkede lidt med ham. Han fortalte at han spillede på Godset 23. februar – afrikansk musik og reggae – og vi snakkede lidt om hans kursus i afrikansk dans på FOF.
  Da vi gik fra ham, tænkte jeg over, om jeg måske skulle gå til afrikansk dans og at vi måske skulle tage til den koncert – og inspireret af Ali Edwards overvejede jeg, om mit ord for i år skulle være ’Nyt’. Nyt som i nye udfordringer, nye ting, nye oplevelser.
  Egentlig er jeg jo allerede startet på det, i og med jeg er i gang med nyt job i en branche, jeg ikke kender samtidig med det er mit første rigtige fuldtidsjob etc.
  Og nu venter jeg på, at Peder kommer hjem, og vi forhåbentlig skal se NFL-kamp fra i søndags færdig og se Patriots vinde over Chargers og gå i konference-finalen og forhåbentlig videre til at vinde Superbowl og slappe af og have en god aften – måske scrappe lidt – og i morgen er det så fredag, jeg får løn og så er det weekend. It’s all good. (18. januar 2007)
