I woke up 4am this morning and on my way to the bath room found the 3rd grass hopper on the floor this week. How on earth can I have them in my apartment if I NEVER leave my front door open and there shouldnt be any other way they can get in?

No wonder I thought that Im going crazy 2 nights ago - I was convinced that I heard a grass hopper making the sound they do but couldnt find it anywhere even though the voice was somewhere close to my bed and I was going crazy!

So it was a grass hopper and I flushed it this morning.

Starbucks Iced Caramel Machio coffee. Im hooked and come back for it every night:)

My friend Beverly told me funny stories by the pool today how weird things (stupid people) people try to transfer through security as if it was normal to take a huge coconut, dried cows head or bread knifes to the plane.

I saw a program the other night about the serious security issues Phoenix Sky Harbour has - a bunch of FBI agents had disguised as normal travellers and managed to carry all kinds of stuff to the plane passing the screening.

Made me think that maybe I dont wanna know all the cases they find and dont find - in my case the chance that something weird would be on my flight is pretty high as I fly twice a week.

Anyway, it was a nice day, my visa went broken though and had to ask them to overnight me a new one- i was so pissed as it still works fine as I use it at the stores but it wont work if I try to withdraw money. Stupid thing.

My godness what a night. I woke up 2am and for a minute I thought that the world warIII had just started. The thundering was so loud and hard that I was forced just to listen to the restless skies and was so scared.

I dont know why I am so scared of the thundering - maybe because I think that it might just hits my roof and tears down all the walls. It sure sounded scary so I knew that it would be a long night since I cant sleep if its stormy.

Now, 5.30 its all calm and cool too after the rain and Im working, tired though but happy that its over.

I must be the happiest as I have been for a while.
It makes wonders to be able to live normal life just like everyone else. Im enjoying it so much to hang out here, see my friends and do normal stuff.

I have to suggest to my new boss that we could make it a habbit for me to spend at least a week every month working from home.

I finished Robbie Williams - my life, book for the second time and love it.
Still have a lot catching up to do with Harry though but its almost impossible to concentrate on any books at the pool.

I have a new summer pleasure- Cajun pepper crab dip and water bisquits. As its hot as hell, I dont have much appetite and was fed up with soups (love homemade chili, carrot-ginger and cream of potato) and am also done with salads so I needed something else.

So, knowing that I dont like crabs that much, I bought it and absolutely love it. Its nice and spicy but doesnt taste that much fishy. Iced coffees with lots of ice are another favourite.
Funny how a climate can affect so much to your appetite.

Those who havent checked Timlands "The way you are" go and check it out NOW and say what u think. Its my favourite right now.

The summer is definitely on here and feels like its July and Im on vacation hahaa!

Its so wonderful to be home. I left the house 4.30 am this morning and headed to Starbucks to get some work done. What a funny feeling it was to drive a couple of blocks knowing that I can drive home in 5 minutes after "work" hah.

Its been 8 moonths since I moved here - the US post sent me a letter that I have to confirm my new address if Im staying there permanently - and I think I am, at least for now.

Huh its hot weekend again, I can hardly lay down by the pool without getting a heart attack every 20min and its almost impossible to try to do anything, even read a book as you really have to concentrate on just being conscious. I knew it would be a hot summer but some days are just too much.

Oh well, its nice to take it easy, chill and to know that I DONT have to fly anywhere tomorrow. But there is a lot to do and Im not on vacation, the house has to be left on its own again for a month, and get ready when mom arrives Sep 14th.

Its been a family communication weekend..I was happy to hear that Hannu moved in with Kristel finally and is facing a new challange in his company when accepting a new position as a trainer. Someone else from my past also called from Finland this weekend with very surprising news and I couldnt believe it. I suppose this life is full of surprises after all.

Got a nice phone call last night from someone i miss.
Funny how time flies but still you catch up like it was yesterday.
People you think you lost never went anyway and are still there in your life.
Its a nice feeling.

Yeah I get to go home early tomorrow morning, hopefully on stand by.
The classes are done today so if Im lucky I will be home by 10am tomorrow haha!

So HAPPY. a week from now I will be packing my stuff again for the Finland, crazy.

San Fransisco looks great - not as mind blowing as I thought but nice anyway.
im sure it would feel different to be here on vacation.

I wanna come here with my girls one day and hit the city big time.
Girls - lets think about it next time when you hit Phoenix hah!
