Our snow day - in April

another week.
and now I’m on my own. Franzi left this morning and now it’s up to me to take care of B and K. hopefully I’ll be fine. who knows.
I’ve slept in my bed since Monday when Franzi and I switched rooms and I don’t like it. actually I like to sleep in it, but when I’m awake I somehow manage to walk in to the frame which resulted in two bruisebumps on my legs. not nice when you’re going to the pool. evil bed.
I’ve started to drive and true to my nature I’ve already gotten lost. twice in one day. with a navigator. how sad is that! I’ve also been honked at a couple of times. and to top it off I drove against a red light. I was in Seattle at rush-hour and I was completely stressed out. driving is scary especially when you’re surrounded by lots and lots and lots of cars. I can’t wait to get back to Malmö and the easy going traffic there. thank god I have a few more weeks to practice before the test.

we went to IKEA this week and we had so much fun. we tried all the good chairs and we ate lunch in the restaurant (which looks exactly like the one in Malmö. they even had a section with Swedish food. I got some bilar for the trip home, but the kids weren’t very impressed by them. more for me =) and now I know that if I ever get homesick I can always go to IKEA.

yesterday I fell in love.
sadly not with a boy but with Barnes and Noble. a wonderful store with books and music. they even have their own book bags. I’m getting one of those as soon as I feel like I need an extra treat and can decide on the colour. ~ as of now I’m leaning towards the brown one ~
I went there yesterday and I stayed for forty minutes, walking around in awe. I could have stayed there longer but my money was running out (I bought two records, one movie and a book) and I had to go pick up Franzi after her fashion show. I was asked twice if I wanted to become a member for a year which meant pay 10 $ and get 10 % reduced price. at the rate I’m going I probably should.
