Äntligen har vi fått ändan ur vagnen och satt upp insynsskydd i köksfönstret.

Nackdelen med att bo på en gata som ligger så nära allt som vår gata gör är att många passerar under dagen.

På kvällarna har det känts som att bo i ett akvarium när det är mörkt ute och vi har ljust inne, men nu har vi äntligen rått bot på det hela och satt upp insynsskydd, Línea Fix, på fönstret.

Det blev bra, trots att det även fungerar som "utsynsskydd". Men rummet blev i alla fall mycket lugnare, så resultatet kontra arbetsinsatsen får högsta betyg! :)

Just nu håller vi på att lägga sista handen vid gästrummet. Barnen kommer ner vecka 10 och då är det tänkt att väggar och tapeter skall vara på plats. Och sängen håller även på att få bli en våningssäng igen eftersom de små liven har svårt att sova när de ser varandra... :) Bildbevis kommer när tapeten kommit på plats.

As I wrote before I feel a bit restless right now. Don't feel too creative.

So when I got this vision in our ugly hallway that by the way is going to get a real makeover when the TV-room is done, I just felt the need to get it done. It couldn't get any worse, so... :). My sweet darling made it happen, as always, what would I do without him?

Here's some photo evidence of my splendid idea of removing those ugly pine prison bars from the stairway. Now we just have to do all that other stuff, like tearing those wallpapers down, grind the stairs, paint and so on. But that is a story for another day. Today I enjoy this "prison break" :)

I decided to add another category to this blog; Photo.

It has nothing or very little to do with the main theme of this blog (The Before I Die-list Challenge), but I decided not to create another blog just for this. If you want you can say adding my photos is part of my goal to be proud of who I am, so in a way it may not be wrong.

I must say I am not the most focused person in the world.

I look back at the two years that have past and I realize that I have only managed 9 challenges on the BID-list.

This is the result of me not setting any goals for me to achieve, a way of life that is not very rewarding I can tell now.

So, my first priority for this new year of 2012, is to make a list of what to achieve during these 12 months to come.

I have decided to focus on this one list and not on the Before I get Old and Boring-list. However, if I manage some of the tasks on that list, I will of course tick them as well.

These are my challenges for 2012 on the Before I Die-list:

13. Meet Someone with your Own Name

18. Study the Kama Sutra and Put Theory into Practice

32. See the Aurora Borealis

37. Make Fire Without Matches

41. Be Friends With Your Ex

47. Milk a Cow

71. Have Adventurous Sex

78. Drink a Vintage Wine

75. Get a Tattoo and/or a Piercing

I haven't posted for a few days, but don't think I have been lazy! I have a few tasks running currently that takes a while to complete. And also I am awaiting answers from a couple of swedish companies regarding sponsoring and advertisement. It would be so great if some of them would join in on this.

I did buy a swedish version of the Kamasutra (in modern version). Actually, I think a book like this would be handed out to every couple as a wedding gift :). But I think I have to go to the library to get a feeling of a much older version. I searched the internet for it, and found an english translation from the original of sanskrit. I think that is the one I'm curious about. Anyways, below is a photo of the book I am studying at the moment. Never knew learing things could be so satisfying. But still I've got some pages to go, so I'm not all-knowingly yet... :D

If you haven't got a book like this, go ahead and get one!

I have also taken a few steps towards domination of poker. My sweetheart is teaching me the basics at night. So far I've already learned that poker and too much wine is a bad idea :).

I've decided to do it. For some time now I've been looking for some inspiration in my life, and I'm quite thrilled to say that I think I've found it. In the shape of a list :). I love 2-do-lists, and the feeling when checking them off, so I truly hope this is the perfect tool for me.

The author of this list is Richard Horne, and "the list" is really a book published as

You can read more about this book and others he's written if you click on the image above. He's also published another list called "101 Things To Do Before You Get Old and Boring" which is a list for the younger adventurers. But hey, I think I'm not to old for that one, so I'm actually going to run these lists head by head and hopefully complete as many tasks as I can on both of them "Before I Get Boring and Die".

Wish me luck, and hope to see you on the way!
