Work, semlor, memes... and a day...
Work today has been really good. I had a small group of kids visiting the library and had a small class with them where I taught them how to find there way in the library. They were only 9-10 years old. Usually groups from this class can be quite the handful, but these five kids were so GOOD! And interested! And they actually listened and had fun and... Well, I felt really good after that.
Been busy as hell after work these days, this weekend will be to. I hope, HOPE things will slow down soon. :-P And to make matters worse, the bus was... 30mins late when I was to go home, WTH! GAH! I thought they had solved there issues with that damn bus. :-( And then when I came home my cats had clawed some pretty big holes in my down comforter spreading down/feathers here and there in the bedroom... ARGH! TEN holes in my comforter... TEN! Two bigger and 8 smaller once... It took my 30mins to fix them.. DAMN CATS! Not on my good side today...
Thought I'd share this brilliant photo of the semlor we baked this weekend. He is quite good at taking photos, my darling hubby peting73 and he posts at least once a week with a photo or two and progress on his weigth-loss in his LJ. And this photo? Well, you can almost smell how nice they tasted... ;-)

Yes, they tasted just as good as they look. Here is a recipe if you want to try to make some yourself: Swedish Semlor (Pretty much the way I did it. 250 degrees C = 482 degrees F.)
Anyway, so memes...

Look at your LJ userpics list. If you have fewer than 50 icons, pick every fifth one. If you have between fifty and seventy-five icons, pick every seventh one. If you have over seventy-five icons, pick every tenth one. If you have fewer than ten, pick all of 'em. List them on your LJ, and tell everyone exactly why you have it, why it's interesting to you, what significance does it have.
Here goes...
10th icon:
Just the truth, ain't it? ;-)
20th icon:
Not much to add to this one either. Very much the truth. :-)
30th icon:
*smirk* Well... Ehm... Yeah. Mr Gibbs and Will discussing the important matters...
40th icon:
The insanity that is Twilight, Twihaters and Twihards... It is like a train wreck. I can't stop reading about it...
50th icon:
*BLUSH!* IT IS A MANIP, OK!!! *hides*
60th icon:
Xena in all her glory... :-)
70th icon:
Tom and Georg rocking out on stage. No further explanation needed. :-)
80th:
I am a librarian and I love books. End of story. ;-)
90th:
That boy is so good at making faces... *grin* So hence.
100th:
A vampire having dinner. I love vampires and have been a vampire-LARPer for years. Do I need to say more?
110th:
This might be a bit much, but I love piercings and tattoos as well, and constantly want more, so hence the icon...
120th:
It doesn't happen often, but sometimes even Gustav makes cute faces... And I thought this was such a perfect WHAT?-icon, I just had to have it. :-)
130th:
Sexy Best Of photos.... One of my two favorite pairings... in a leather sofa. I rest my case.
140th:
He might not be considered the sexiest of the guys in the band... but even Gustav can do the come hither look. ;-) I thought it was cute! *grins*
150th:
Poor Georg... We always make fun of his hair, don't we? And it is such a brilliant fail-icon. :-)
160th:
Again with Bill and Georg! I thought it was so cute on this one with the height difference. :-) Only reason I grabbed it.
170th:
Everyone needs a pissed off icon. And I would imagine Gustav being pretty scary once he loses it....
Geez, I have to many icons... *takes a breather*
*continues*
180th:
Damn right! Ha ha ha! I don't know, the icon was just cute. :-)
190th:
Made specifilly for me. :-D A cute lil pirate-captain, one-eyed and all! :-)
200th:
Gustav got some serious muscles there don't he? Maybe thats what Bill admires? *grins* I just liked the icon. :-)
210th:
My Meh-icon... Because Tom is doing the perfect face for it. ;-) He is also good at making faces, like his bro!
220th:
Because, you know... I am. ;-)
230th:
Crack-Mickey Mouse... Just because... it just is awesome. For the record, I do ADORE Disney-movies, cartoons and such... and I also love making fun of Disney. :-)
240th:
Awwww.... Tomstav! Because it is rare, and it is cute, and dammit I love it! :-D
250th:
Gustav! Because I have a thing for the stocky drummer, OK... ;-)
260th:
Gustav again! A bit older this time... and with... much more... muscles... Guh.... o.O
