So close to being finished!

I have been neglecting this blog because I have been spending so much time on a painting. I think it will be a little bit better than the drawing I posted! I said I would be done yesterday but I’m just not quite finished yet. It’s hard to say when I will finish because I keep adding things. I will scan it and post it when I’m done though. I don’t want to say anything about what it is. I can be a surprise. :-)

And yesterday I worked on a different painting! My mom and I went to Sips n Strokes to paint a violet. It’s a class where you follow along as an instructor paints and you can bring wine if you like! Despite being there for 4 hours, I didn’t finish my painting and I’m not happy with the way it currently looks at all. I will try to finish it here at home. Here is what I have so far: 

Hopefully it will look like a flower when I'm done...

Today from 1:00 until 3:00, I’m going to a makeup class for women with cancer. Look Good…Feel Better. I already feel that I am pretty good with makeup, especially since I once did makeup a job, but I hope I can pick up some good tips. I also am excited about the free makeup they will give us! Free is always good and hopefully the class will be fun. 

Well, that’s all I have to say for now because I want to spend more time on my paintings. Hopefully I will be done with both soon!

Inga

Hej, I am Inga! Hur är läget? I was born in Sweden but I also speak English very well! I am currently studying physics at Uppsala Universitet and hope to teach someday! I am very close with my family, who lives in Stockholm, and visit them as often as I can. People say that I am very friendly and can start a conversation with anyone, even strangers! Trevligt att träffas!

 I’m trying to sign up for a program called Look Good… FeelBetter. It’s a free program for women with cancer. You go to a class with other women with cancer and a professional makeup shows you tips and tricks for just looking better even though you have cancer. I haven’t lost my eyelashes or eyebrows to chemo but I know a lot of women do and I’m curious to see what the tips are for dealing with that. Also, they give you a free makeup kit that I was told is really nice! As a makeup junkie, I can’t miss out on that! My mom’s friend from work who went through chemo for breast cancer went and said it was a lot of fun. I talked on the phone from someone with the American Cancer Society about it and apparently the slots fill up quickly so it will probably be a little while before I can get into one of the classes.

Real message I sent to my pretend fiancé last night about mamba.ru, the Russian dating site I recently mentioned:

OMFG, this mamba website is so creepy! It's making me think that most Russian men are super creepy! I keep getting on but now most of my responses are "no" or "I don't understand you!"

One guy wants to marry me, one guy wants to be my slave, on guy wants to send me pictures of his penis, one guy just wants me to know that he is bisexual....

With one guy, he kept messaging me in Russian and I kept saying "I don't understand you" over and over and finally he just sent ")))))))) SEX)))))"

So the site lost it’s newness and fun pretty quickly!

Going to meet with my dad for lunch soon so I better get up and get going :-)


*EDIT*

Finally got the results back about what was going on with the fluids in my stomach. The fluid had atypical mitotic (???) cancer cells in it, but the doctor was not surprised by this and feels that my current treatment plan is still the correct one to get rid of them. They don't expect that my abdomen will swell back up with fluids if the current chemo drugs are doing their job properly.
