My weekend

I went to see a play on saturday night, with my friend. It was a monologue about the stress of a modern, working mom´s day. It was hilarious, so many things reminding me of my own life. The actress and writer, Björk Jakobsdóttir, has sold the rights to several countries, including the USA, so more people will get to see it, the play´s called "Sellofon", after advice she read in a woman´s magazine on how to turn on your man; no. 8 wrap yourself in sellofon and wait for him to return from work...

Yesterday we lay around the house, not doing much of anything, just relaxing. Drove our son to football practice in the afternoon, and watched a video after he was gone to bed. As a result of this lazyness we didn´t watch the dog closely enough, and we had several accidents in the house. Today is starting out better. It´s true that dogs are creatures of habit, and they definately do not understand the concept of a weekend... She seemes to understand that it´s better to deposit outside, but still hasn´t figured out how to tell us she needs to go, she just needs a little time. I think it´s now time to gently start teaching "sit" and "down". She responds to her name by now, and comes running when you call her, well, at least most of the time... It´s important to imprint a positive experience with her name and calling her to come, never shout or tell her off if she runs away and then comes back. Only praise.

Our team wound up in seventh place in the handball world championship. I think that´s pretty good for a nation of 250 thousand souls. Most of the other countries have millions of athletes to choose from. We were the only scandinavian country to ensure ourselves a right to compete at next year´s olympic games in greece.
