my blog is up.
I know. I hate the blog concept. To write a public diary, just begging for attention, to be seen and to be somebody.

Well. I was asked to do this, by friends and family, since I'm trading safe Sweden for probably even safer Belgium.
This is the deal: I'm off to au pair a family in Brussels. So I'll stay there for like nine, ten months. And I'll be lonely. And I trust you'll miss me.

So I write this for both your sake and mine (I like win-win situations), and I'll keep you posted on what's going on.
Take off is early morning 31st August.

Why did I create this blog now?
I'm not leaving for another two weeks.  But last night, the first step of my journey was taken, the mandatory going-away party.  And though surprisingly many of you showed up, a few weren't able to come, for various reasons. So today my phone's been beeping all day, texts from people really wishing they could be there, and say good bye.

This blog was created today cause I wanted you to know how things are going, preparations etc, and for my swedish friends to know that THERE IS STILL TIME.
And despite what I think of blogging, I have been looking forward to this. After all, you have to try anything once.

Ps. I know I'm giving you hell, trying to spell that french name. Sorry about that. But it's so damn catchy! Just make a bookmark or something. :)
Oh, and I'm writing in english for my non-swedish friends and family.
