So here I am

I don't know much about blogs, but I've still wanted to start my own for a long time. You'll have to forgive my cluelessness about blogging, and also my bad English, as it's not my own language.

It was very difficult to decide whether I should write in English or Finnish. The latter is my mother tongue, so I naturally express myself better in it, and it would be easier and faster to write in Finnish. On the other hand I'm used to writing and thinking in English, when I'm online, and - of course - this way more people can read me, and I'm vain enough to want that.

Tonight I was actually supposed to do tons of other stuff than creating a blog. This is a very strange night for me, because my daughter Juudit is sleeping over at her grandparents and my husband Karlo is at an office party. It's so rare nowadays to have the whole house and night to myself, I was stressing over how to make the most of it.

I left work pretty early, went to shop for goodies, such as fresh baked bread, Lapland cheese, buttered popcorn, chocolate and dry Chardonnay. Mind you, I'm pregnant, but I allow myself two glasses per week. Oh, I even bought a frozen pizza, but I'm afraid I won't get hungry enough for it tonight.

The plan was to first enjoy the bread and cheese while slowly reading the day's paper. Checked - I really did that. Then I was supposed to meditate long and hard with no interruptions, go bathe in sauna ALONE and just enjoy the heat, and afterwards have my Chardonnay with chocolate and popcorn, while watching Cranford, a BBC drama I've been taping and really looking forward to seeing.

Well now, I somehow ended up brainstorming with this blog idea right after the bread, cheese and the day's paper, and here I am a couple of hours later, blogging away, and thinking which part of my plan to drop, as I really don't have time for all the mentioned activities anymore. After all, it's a workday tomorrow, and I'd better be in bed in two hours the latest. So will I ditch the meditation, sauna or Cranford? Help!

I will tell you more about me later, now I'd better start enjoying this rarity!
