snow day...IN MARCH!

Jamie-O. I thought it was going to be spring from now on. The weather had been getting nicer and nicer. On sunday after a weekend of heavy partying, Kerstin and I decided we needed a long long walk in Djurgården....a huge park area in Stockholm. The weather was so perfect. But then it switched on Monday and today it was a snow storm. Craziness!!! What the flip. It is so hard to walk in snow and snowflakes kept getting stuck in my eyelashes and making my mascara run. I need to buy water proof.

I have little routines now too. Like the way I like to walk to work or walk home. Usually when I walk home I choose different routes to switch it up a bit. But my favorite is: walking from Glitnir through the Old Town on the woobly cooble stones past the castle, then over the bridge to Slussen where all the buses stop and meet, then up a ridiculously high stair case...that's my workout for the day, and then I walk through the cute plazas and neighborhoods in Söder, past this huge gorgeous yellow and white Church, and finally make it to my bus stop. I always come right after the bus came so I always have to wait forever. haha.

When both my cousins were in town last week we went out to dinner. I have a cute new family with big brothers. It is super fun. We went to a really fancy kind of pretentious place...their food was overly decorated and elaborate...but it tasted really good anyway. On the table was a mini diamond Cinderella's pumpkin horse carriage, when you opened it had a little message inside. I forget how it read...something like, all dreams do come true. It was cute. We laughed a whole lot.

It is strange having to take taxi's everywhere; kind of feel like some sort of important person. I hate it when I miss the last bus of the night at 2:50 and have to take a taxi home. It only costs 100kr or so which isn't much but I have to deal with some scummy driver asking me annoying personal questions, like why a hottie like me is going home alone....ewww or sitting on the bus I try to sit next to a nice looking old lady...but sometimes some nasty perv ends up sitting next to me. And of course trys to speak with me even though I look very uninterested. gosh, I can't go anywhere!!!

I miss my personal bodyguard Jamie!
