It's February already. Funny how quickly time seems to pass by.
Once again, life has been a bit of a roller coaster - twists and turns, ups and downs, and lots of excitement. I've been staying busy. Some might even say too busy.
BUT.
On the bright side - today I managed to play a bit of catch-up! Three cheers for me! Over a month late, but I FINALLY got my holiday promos in the mail today. Each are en route to their destination. I hate falling behind. But even more than that, I hate not following through on what I say I will do. So - it's a bit behind - but it's done!
That's one more thing off my list.
Now, I have exactly 17 days to cross the remaining 20 items off my list. Slowly but surely I'm able to cross things off. Some are bigger items. Some are smaller items. But I'm determined to get the majority of them done. Preferably all, but at least the majority. I foresee about 4 of the items remaining.
Training is coming along well. I'm doing my best to stay on track. Sometimes it gets difficult because of school and work. But I do the best I can. I guess that's really all I - or anyone else - can ask for.
I have some things in my sights, some goals I'm shooting for. We'll see how it all goes.
I have a match coming up this weekend, against a girl named Fruity Joose. She's still fairly new to the game, but she's a hard worker and has heart. We'll see if it's enough to get my belt or not. I'm gonna have to wager not... I'm too much of a fan of the gold. :)
I have my iPod geared up and ready to go. All the previous junk has been removed from it. All new stuff for the gym. Real get-your-ass-moving music. It's going to be good, very good.
I suppose in comparison, this has been a bit mundane to my usual blog. But I'm okay with that. After all - life can't be all sunshine and lollipops. :)

20 dagar och 20 nätter
Förlåt mig fader ty jag har syndat, har det varit 20 dagar sedan min förra blogg...
*snicker*
Okay, now that I'm going to likely burn with fire and brimstone, I shall continue on. This month has been a fairly crazy one for me.
I had a match against "The Genuine Article" Ash Walker on January 8th. The match went well, but was cut short due to an electricity malfunction. Then, next thing I know, there's drama going on all around me. Luckily, no titles changed hands due to a run-in by Hangtyme. I think Ash and I have a bit of unfinished business. But that will have to wait for another day...
In the meantime, all the action/drama can be viewed HERE.
Although a bit bruised and battered from the match itself, it was nothing compared to what the next few days had in store for me. North Carolina had a freak ice/snow storm. I decided on Tuesday to go to the store to get some supplies - the roads were mostly melted. Unfortunately, as I left my apartment and went to walk down the stairs, I didn't realized they were completely iced over. It resulted in me falling down an entire flight of stairs. Once again: luckily, no broken bones - just a bit of a deflated ego. I had a few bumps and bruises - the imprint of the stairs on my back - and a slightly twisted and scraped ankle. But nothing I couldn't bounce back from. I even continued to the store so I could get hot chocolate and a few other necessary items.
Since then, things have been pretty hectic. I beat down a cold that tried to attack me. I started back at school, and have been keeping up nicely with that. So far.
Training has been going well. I've been putting in 7 hour days at the training facility on Saturdays, and a few additional hours on Sunday. This is, of course, in addition to my daily workouts. Things are coming together nicely. I'm getting back on track, and in good fighting shape.
Coming up in February I'm scheduled to face off against Fruity Joose at Falcon's Children Home. She's chasing after my title, but I'm looking to hold on to it. Gold looks so nice on me! Also, the first weekend of February I'm scheduled to be at OAP.
Biggest news right now is probably my upcoming debut for Pro-Wrestling SUN in New Jersey. Allison Danger is the new President of this promotion, and has agreed to let me have a match against Mia Yim. Back at the September tapings of Shimming, Yim broke one of my ribs. Although I defeated her, I'm still looking for a bit of payback. I'm spending a lot of time preparing for that.
Life is throwing a few hurdles at me right now. But I'm doing my best to overcome each challenge as it's presented.
Looking forward to seeing what's coming my way.
True story.

förbereda sig för krig
Let me start by sending out big THANK YOU-s to those that helped make my Christmas special. Many thanks to Bob, Joseph, and Steve - among others who chose to remain nameless - for my lovely Christmas gifts. They each brought a smile to my face, so thank you SO much. :)
My holiday was nice - very low key. I slept in, then woke up and opened presents. I made phone calls to my family, and it was nice to speak with many of them. I bought a new jungle-gym for my cats, and assembled it. They absolutely love it, which made me happy. Had a nice holiday meal with some friends, and enjoyed playing Scrabble by the fire that evening.
Yes, I love Scrabble. Yes, I am a bit of a nerd. What do you expect? I used to work at a library. I mean, really? C'mon.
I also took a few hours to thoroughly clean out my flat. I cleaned out my closet, and have 2 bags of clothes I have to drop at the donation center. I also went through my files and got rid of what I no longer need, as well as re-filed items that were misfiled. My flat looks better than it has in a while. I was also able to catch up on some reading. :)
I had a few days off from work, which was nice. Finally finished creating a website for Ring Wars Carolina. It's not spectacular - but I did the best with what I had to work with, and it didn't come out to bad. In fact, feel free to sign up for the new RWC Forum and keep up with the current news and feuds and such.
Speaking of which - I have a match coming up this weekend. As you can tell from my blog title (or not) I am currently preparing for war. I have a match against "The Genuine Article" Ash Walker, who is upset about me being named RWC 2010 Wrestler of the Year. He can't believe that me - a girl - the RWC FLOW Champion - won it. He can't believe I beat him - the RWC Heavyweight Champion - for it. That being said, we'll be having a match on January 8th in Lumberton, NC: my Wrestler of the Year plaque against his belt - winner takes all. He's a great wrestler. But I've made it my duty to defeat him and show him that women DO belong in the wrestling ring and our sole purpose is NOT to wear cute things and bake tasty treats in the kitchen.
My knee is feeling pretty decent. We're at about 80% recovery. I have some of my strength back, but nowhere near where I want it to be. I don't have nagging pain anymore - just sharp pangs every now and again, usually when I've over-extended it. I'm still in a brace, and will continue to be for a while. But I finally have a solid starting point.
I've started this year off right. On January 1st, I spent 3 hours training in the ring. The next day, I got in almost a 3-hour workout, followed by a short nap, then another 2 hours in the ring. Today - more of the same.
This is a whole new year. You'll see a whole new me. This year is going to be great. I can feel it.

Känsla Blå
Winter Solstice is here. And Christmas is upon us. It's less than a week away. Four days, to be exact.
This is usually such a joyous time of year. This is the time of year I enjoy spending with my family. Unfortunately, it just wasn't in the cards for me this year. Too many things are going on with each of the different families, and it's too difficult to get us all together in one place this year.
It's looking to be a pale blue Christmas. There have been worse years, to be sure. I just really miss my family. And it seems like this is the time of year when it hits the hardest. It really is a bummer having thousands of miles separating us all.
This year, I shall celebrate... as much as I am able. Even though I can't be with my family, they all have their health and for this I am grateful.
My blood isn't here. But I still have unofficial family here. And my lovely cats. They will enjoy the new catnip and toys, I'm sure. This Christmas will be a good one. It has to be.
Happy Solstice, to all.

St. Lucia
Today I would like to wish everyone a very HAPPY Saint Lucia day! :)
That's right! Today - December 13th - is Saint Lucia's Day. And although I have to work today, I'm still taking the time to enjoy my day and honor Saint Lucia. The holiday season has officially begun for me!
Speaking of Saint Lucia... it is in her honor that my limited-edition holiday 8x10 photo was conceived. As stated in a previous blog, this photo will be issued only as a thank-you this holiday Season. There's no other way you'll acquire one, unless you manage to finagle one from someone else. You'll find details on a previous blog... OR.... click here, and you'll get the idea. :-p
Life is going smoothly right now. I hope to keep it that way. Wrapping up my classes this week - then I have a whole month off. I plan on dedicating that month to some intensive training to prepare for my match against RWC's Heavyweight Champ "The Genuine Article" Ash Walker. It's going to be on January 8th in Lumberton, NC. This is going to be a match you won't want to miss.

hämta mig
Sometimes I have a bit of trouble with putting things into action. I have all of these thoughts and ideas swirling around in my head. But sometimes it's hard to sort through them all, and make sense of them.
The same thing goes for goals. I have goals. But sometimes I have trouble setting a plan of action to follow to reach my goal.
When this starts happening to me a lot, I usually have to pick myself back up. I need to find my focus. To do this, I usually watch a movie from my "Motivational and Inspiring Movies" list. After I watch it, I suddenly feel more focused. I'm ready to set a plan of action, implement it, and strive headstrong toward my goals.
This actually has been happening to me recently. I've had this goal, but no real way to achieve it. So last night, I busted out one of the "Top 5" from the MIM list:
G.I. Jane
That did the trick. I'm feeling more focused. More powerful. More motivated.

I'm on my way.

vinter firandet
Alas, the winter will soon be upon us. December has begun, which means many celebrations are ahead of us. My advent calendar is out, and I'm ready to go!
There is so much to celebrate. St. Lucia's Day on the 13th... Christmas Eve... Christmas Day... And of course all of the celebrations in January. Then I remember that in America they don't celebrate all of the same holidays as in Sweden. But that doesn't mean I can't celebrate them on my own, right?
I've been doing my Christmas shopping, and have managed to finish quite a bit of it. I still have some to do. I've had a few people ask me what I'd like for Christmas. If you're one of those people, please refer to...
Mia's Amazon Wishlist
Usually when I receive gifts from my Wishlist, I send a personalized 8x10. Since it's the holiday season, I'll be sending out a limited edition holiday 8x10. I'm having them printed on an as-needed basis, so they won't be available after the holidays.
Feeling generous? Visit some wishlists of other amazing ladies... :)

I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season. You'll be hearing more from me soon.
