Well, this is what I look like most of the time, sometimes
with shorter hair, sometimes with longer. I was born in
1969, and have always had animals. I got my first guinneapig when I was 6
years old, and my first cat 2 years later. |

I've had my work for a long time, and got really fed up with it after had
been home with Holly when she was a baby. So I took some time of and studied.
For 2½ years I red some English, civics, computer basics,
pedagogical leadership, maths, Swedish, more maths, webdesign, desktop publishing, textual
output, ECDL, graphics, business economics, databases,
natureknowledge and some handcraft, all at our Adult Community School. After that I studied a two-years course in Tourism development at Skeria Utveckling. I have come to see that if I ever will work in the tourism industry, it will be with the incoming market, as I find the development of our own region much more interesting then sitting at a travel agency sending people abroad... Studying is hard work, but I really enjoyed it and I had never thougt it would be so fun sitting in the schoolbench again! Anyway, when I finished these two years,
Hollys father and I separated, so I went back to my job. Under those
sercumstanses it was more important to HAVE a job and a salay, then
developing oneself... So I stayed in the house, and met Johan who moved in
the autumn of 2004. |

What else can I tell you? well, I do spend some time infront
of the computer... Too much time sometimes,
I can feel... A few years ago I had the
opinion that I would not have a computer in my house, I could manage just as well without.
The protocols from Solkatten's boardmeetings could easily be written by hand. Then my
father came over with his old computer... What would I say?! So, I realized that it
actually was quite handsome, especially if I misspelled... After that I became the editor
of Solkatten's members' paper, and suddenly I became aware of that our computer was too
small, old and dull! After that everything has just rolled on, it is really fun to make
informationleflets, advertisments for kittens, addresslabels, visitingcards, posters to
our catshows, homepages... And now I need a new
harddrive again...
I do understand that if I had not
been so involved with the catbreeding and catclubs, I would not have had this much use of the
computer and then it would not have been this fun! I have also come to see, that there are
some people who are happy enough to work with this kind of things every day, so that is
what I will try to get into in the future! |

During 2008 I've also picked up an old interest from when I went to school...
I've started to dance again! And not just any dance, it's oriental dance, or
belly dancing as it also is called. :) It's just SO FUN, we practice twice a
week at Skellefteå Dance & Ballet association, and have performed a couple
of times already! Our teacher, Katerina, is really good and very inspiring!
I'd never have thought this om myself just a year ago... Here a couple of
photos from the Spring Performance. |

| Whenever there are any time left for other things, I enjoy
sewing, first of all clothes for Holly, friends or myself. Just plain curtins are not that
fun... Reading a good book is also quite enjoyable, or watching a good movie.
I am also quite fond of gardening, I do not have really green fingers, but
I enjoy relaxing by digging in the ground, and then watching the flowers
grow. And, not to
forget, getting together with friends, whether it is just over a cup of tea or doing
something fun together, like go bathing, grilling saussages or something else. |

I also guess I will always be involved in something, as I
always have been active in some kind of association. In the passed it has been everything
from studentcouncil and the Local Rabbit Breeding Association, to 4H/Young Farmers and
the Trade
union. At the moment I am just a
little bit involved in the local catclubb Solkatten, the Swedish
Maine Coon Club,
the pawped education
programme and I'm editor for
Vallholt's clubpaper. I
guess I'm just that kind of person who can't stay out
of things! |

are into the business of rabbitbreeding, and here is their site! |
