Fairlight and I is on the train back from visiting Lunds Children's Hospital to check current status of her unusual rheumatic disease, JDM, she got when she was 3, almost 4.
After a shipload of all sorts of medication she's only had her Metoject shots once a week as well as a folacin pill once a week the last couple of months.
And everything seemed so great they informed her that within a year she'd be without all medicine every day! What good news :)
M'era Luna festival 2012 is passed.
I've meet crazy many sweet (
eatable) people. I haven't Goth that many pics yet, but I will post it as I find it.
This is how I looked the first day though :)
My bed is bombarded with my outfits for the electro/ Goth festival in Hildesheim, Germany this weekend.
As you can see - all black this year!
Me and my pretty sister liked our looks from last year - but we felt very strange wearing all ghostly Goth white the first day.
We are "black girls" at heart.
My husband's got this fabulous idea we should start to travel at 03:00 (like in the middle of the night) this year. We usually have a sleep-in morning and don't leave until 04:00...hahaha....
So now I'll have to take an hour powernap since I'll probably won't even go to bed tonight.
And I'm the first driver.
I'm hoping for lots of hugs from anyone who sees me <3
Also - we're having an ice cream dinner today since it's Synthia's 9th birthday today! Just making you jealous! Here's a picture from her morning cake breakfast:
A week ago I got this intriguing book with the best title ever - "Goth girls Don't Taste Like Chicken", written by Robert Tomoguchi and illustrated by Kimberlee Traub, for review.
The kids went crazy over the images and I had to hide the book since I didn't want any sneak peak until I've got time to enjoy this gift.
I think I will read you some of it at YouTube.
And I just made two Goth bracelets with the classic slogan "Keep calm and carry garlic", but I didn't copy - i made it in another font and used a different bat :) (Hahaha - not copying, ey Adora...?!)
Copycat copy that!
I'm a Copybat!!!
Other contries has got bit bigger and bit more dangerous spiders than the whimpish Swedish spiders, so if you say in any other contry than Sweden you got bitten by one people might actually belive you! But if you live in Sweden and say something like that the nuthouse is your next resort.
Thing is: as a child I got bitten by a Swedish spider...
After being laughed at several times and almost had my forhead stamped with mythomaniac I decided never to tell anyone about this again (here's a safe place, right?).
Then, at the darling age of 16, I met this devastating pretty boy (who later morphed into my husband), and after a few months I decided to let him know my inner secrets. Took a deep breath, told him I had something to share that he might not belive. I told him about the spider who bit me.
I was getting ready to have a big laugh thrown at me and that he would end this wonderful romance saying he can't be in love with a crazy woman...
"-You too! Noone has ever belived me when I told them I got bitten by a spider! Finally someone who belives me!!!!"
And there you have it - if that's not a soulmate criteria I don't know what is!
From that day forward we both know we were for ever :)
And how were we bitten?
Me: I was about 8, sitting in the backseat of the car. All of a sudden something tickled me in the neck so I curved my neck to make it go away. Then I felt a sting, like someone poked me with a needle. I whiped the place with my hand and down rolled a small, black ball. Not bigger than 3-4 mm. I remember being so surprised and kept looking at it to figure out if it was a pebble of somekind. Then it opened up - and it was a small spider!!! (I'm not more scared of spiders than other bugs after that encounter)
My love: He had a big pool in his yard. He was 10 as it happened. One day he saw a poor spider fighting to survive as it was in the water. Since he is such a kind spirit he scooped his hand and lifted the spider. As the water ran away the spider landed on his naked palm and as a "thank you" it bit the knight in shining armour!!! What a bitch!
Stop the presses!!!
I made a "new" goth make up tutorial (filmed last year)!!!
I feel like I'm going to faint now. I think I need some blood.
Yeah, that's it! Gotta go...
TeeBee colored and cut his hair yesterday (well I did).
Today he wanted 8 liberty spikes - so cute!!! <3 and I have promised him to go out on town to find him a leopard shirt to match the tights.
The Summer party was lovely, as the company :)
Later we had a competition where the (remaining) guests were divided into two separate teams. My husband in Team 1 and me in Team 2.
Trying to look casual as I take a picture of this lovely reflection
The cold are creeping in as we leave the pool area for the party tent.
Since I'm named tonight's movie star( for my adult movies?haha) I needed to get a second change of wardrobe like a true Goth UCG diva.
Posing my Summer party dress nr 2.
Since I'm having some obvious trouble with being in the sun we can naturally only travel by night, so now the baby BatBrat 's are sleeping in the backseat and I enjoy the ride home as my pretty companion drives the carriage.
A BatBrat can only stay away for so long.
The blood always tastes better at home.
"Home is where the hearts you eat are" - old BatBrat saying ;)
My trip to Kalmar (where my mum and her husband lives, and my uncle O lives with his family 1 house down, and my grandpa Harry lives 3 houses down) have been fab. This morning we all went the 100 meters down to the beach and my pretty husband and TeeBee and Fairlight took a nice bath in the 22 degree Celsius water.
Me and Synthia mostly walked around in the water and collected dead fishes that we put in a nice row in the sand. We found 9.
Then we got back to the house for a coffee break at 13:30 with grandpa and had last nights blueberry cupcakes me and the kids made with the blueberries from the garden. Very nice, grandpa said.
We gave him 2 bags for the freezer as well :)
I posed for "Goth outfit of the day" and grandpa just "-Ehh, what are you doing?" Haha! I told him I wanted to include him in the picture since he is an internet celeb now. He thought that was funny :)
Then my cool and sweet uncle and his lovely family arrived back from their boat trip so we went down to greet them.
After dinner we served a strawberry cake we made together. It was lovely I might add. It almost tasted like a cloud :)
I served it with a rum and chocolate sauce to ripple on top. Most delightful! I wanted to use an Amaretto liquor instead, but rum worked lovely with the strawberries.
Now I'm in the car on my way home.
I have a smile on my lips because it was so nice meeting them all again, the weather was perfect and the kids had fun. This Goth mum is very contempt.
After arriving to Kalmar yesterday, my old hometown, I bought some checkered floor to my small hall, then we went to my "syssling" (my mums cousins kid) Linda, who owns the popular Cafe house "Fik & Butik" (Coffee and Curiosa) in Rockneby.
We wanted to go to her shop, but she was closed so we got an invitation to their wonderful home where I cuddled their ridge back HUGE and friendly dog, their 17 hens and they kept 3 beehives as well, but I didn't cuddle the bees.
We were served wonderful, home baked strawberry pie and cupcakes and shortbreads.
I totally recommend everyone who's got the way pass Kalmar on the E22, driving north, to stop in Rockneby for a homemade cake!
And I'm not saying that to be partial!
