Helsinki two bouts and friendtime

So I flew straight into Helsinki from Portland, into the arms of one of my best friends in the whole wide world: ONLY! I hate that she has moved back to Helsinki, and I liss her soooo much, both as a friend and as a player on my team. I am happy for her that she has found love in Helsinki and she get to be close to her teenage daughter (yes she has one of those). She deserve to be happy and I want her to be happy! BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE ME MISS HER ANY LESS!

Well, so when i came into Helsinki she got off work a little early and we went to her and Pygmes house and she made me soup and we caught up. I probably just babbeled all about Portland forever and ever and she told me the latest news on her life. Then Pygme came home and laughted at me saying htat Only was a very reasonable and easygoing person... we also established that Pyme is short and I am tall (BIG SUPRISES)

Me TALL you SHORT... any questions? 

Later that night Amy and Loony arrived, so we jumped into the SAUNA and drank some alcoholfree beer and prepared for the bout next day... being among frienemies.

I get coffee = mesohappy

Boutday was kicked off by a long walk to get food, and then we ate food before we went to the venue and met up with our teams. The bout itself was intense, Kallio early took the lead adn kept on chipping away, but at halftime we managed to get ourself togheter and start to chip away on that lead. And of course it all came down to the last jam, and guess what, WE WON!

Squeeeze! Kallio and Stockholm! 

I felt like I played really well, and I was awarded Best Blocker, and I got SUPERHAPPY by the award! After the bout we went back to Onlys place, tried to cook of the few things we found in the refrigerator... SAUNA again and then sleep, since Sunday was boutday AGAIN... this time a WFTDA sanctioned game against Helsinki, that beat us last time we played them. 

Quality time with a friend

Cooking, doing nothing, sauna, drinking a few, talking and silence... Life is good!

Sauna and then standing outdoors... life is good

A beer with a bear with horns... maybe it should be drank in a bar...

Half butter, half potatoes... Janica making the best mashed potatoes ever...

Friend dates are sometimes the best dates ever... 

After work me and Janica met up and drove out to my mothers house, there is a souna there and a huge kitchen. We brought some beer, wine and lots of food... We ate the good, drank the drinks, heated up the sauna and chatted the night away. Sometimes it's good to just get away and spend sometime with a good friend.

Hm, I wonder how many hits that header will give my blog... Maybe I should throw in some words like: lesbian, girls, xxx, fun-loving and so on too... Or maybe not... Oooooops I guess I just did... My bad...

Well, actually what this blog was gonna be about is that all my new friends are obsessed with saunas, and it is really weird to me - maybe it just is me who been gone from Scandinavia too long... But when in Copenhagen Krazy Kris and Loony would drag me to the sauna in Christiania (yes it is a unisex sauna and people rub each other in mud and sit on a sweaty floor) . And we had not lived here in Malmö more than a week when Smärta and da Fist dragged us to the local sauna and made us sweat. Did I mention I'm oversensitive to heat??
I do have an annual midsummer party at my mothers place - where we always end up in the sauna, but at that point I'm always really intoxicated and totally in it for the showers... But all this sauna talk made me talk my mother into finally deciding on building a sauna into my grandparents old house (where me, Loony, Kris, Husse and the gang spent new years)... So next year we will have a sauna!! Yayaaaaa...

Sauna power!! But what I really was gonna say was that Friday we had an amazing and great time with CCR sauna time!! I am starting to think this whole sauna thing is great - as long as it is not humid heat - I can deal with it - if not just for the amazing company!!
