Happiest thing that happened: Sunlight! Finally! I wake up at night these days wanting to growl at Marius for forgetting to switch off the bedroom lights, only to realize that it’s the sun. I love the midnight sun, I think it’s probably one of the things I’d miss the most if I ever moved abroad. Oh, and I saw the Flight of the Conchords live, that was also pretty great.
Worst thing that happened: I can’t think of a single thing. May was definitely a good one :)
Biggest annoyance: The fact that I’m utterly incapable of saving money for longer periods of time. But in my defense, I buy things that will last for ages – a 50mm Canon lens, a leather bag, and a necklace were my big buys this month. They’ll still be here ten years down the line.
Looking forward to: More summer, more sunlight, my trip to Crete, and 3 weeks off work in July. I can’t remember the last time I had a three week holiday. It’s been years.
Favorite food: Still chomping down those green salads and olive bread, now with added tzatziki. I’ve also re-discovered my love for gelato ice cream ;)
Pampering: Because of my vicious allergies, I’m careful around perfumes this time of year. The solution? Papaya-scented body wash and body butter from The Body Shop, which is far more gentle. Yum! (It also allows Marius to call me Maja Papaya. Added bonus.)
Favorite workout: Same as last month, spinning and core muscle training. It has definitely had the desired effect! There’s muscle in there somewhere!
Favorite TV-show: I’m currently watching season 2 of Project Runway, as I seem to have skipped that one. Oh, and “The girls of Hedsor Hall“, it’s my guilty pleasure TV-show of the month.
Favorite thing: I’m going to have to say Google Calendar, because it has made my social life SO much more manageable. I have a really odd work schedule that changes from week to week, but I just plot everything in there and voilà, the boyfriend and the best friend knows exactly when I’m free!
Favorite persons: You know, I don’t like this part of the summary, because I always want to mention everyone I know.
Discoveries: I can paint my nails again! Why is this a big deal, you ask? Because my hands used to hate nail polish and my skin would really act up, so I haven’t been able to paint my nails for years now. I’m still a bit worried I might react to the nail polish remover though. Time will tell. I do love my sparkly french manicure!
Best buy: Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Lens, leather bag, and my anatomical heart necklace.
Worst buy: I spend way too much money of food, I need to learn to plan meals better :)
Wish list: Blank, for now. I must seem like the world’s most materialistic person.
Favorite blog: Sleep talking man. I haven’t laughed this much since I discovered hyperbole and a half! :)
Blog annoyance: None. You’re all so sweet and nice and I never get any nasty comments. No complaints here!
Tips for myself: I’ll keep writing it, maybe it’ll sink in one of these days – Stop. Buying. Stuff. Ugh. I don’t make nearly enough money to keep this up! Also, I’d like to blog more often, I’ll see what I can do about that one.
All in all: May has been a great month. No more heavy knits and snow, and I wear shorts far more often than I wear jeans. I’ve even managed to get slightly sunburned!
How was your May? Do you have any fun things planned for June? :)
