So I should have posted yesterday, but "Yes Man" was much more interesting.

HEIA!!!!!

SO, I had another lazy week. I hung out with Kristin on Thursday, or some of Thursday. The rest of Thursday I celebrated Agnethe's (I found out that I've been spelling her name wrong :D ) 1'st birthday! It was very cute, I baby-sat her a lot, but it was worth it! She will be walking soon! I can't wait to see her do so! She also stole my hat, everytime I got it back she would reach up and take it back off my head and try to put it on her own. SO CUTE!!!!!

I think I have some form of special powers, the power to charm babies. there were 3 babies (including Agnethe) and all of them would giggle and smile when I looked at them, besides Agnethe one of them was very happy to sit next to me and offer me the little plastic lettuce head that she continued to slime while gigleing and stealing it back away from me. I love babies, soooo cute!

Nothing much happened besides that, though we did try to go skiing on new-years eve day... but since our internet has been wonky we didn't realise until we were all ready to go that we should probably check. Then it was a struggle to get all the spandex stuff and various other warm clothes off and into normal clothes. Or normal for hanging out around the house clothes. Then I was invited to go into town to pick up packages and return christmas presents... Which I didn't do, fyi. SO, I changed into jeans, because capris sweat pants aren't really what I want to wear outside in this weather.

We went to the post office, and Guro picked up the 2 packages. one of which was Karro's christmas present from me. her self designed converse shoes. they were boring in my opinion, but she likes them soooo... O.O

We went to the grocery store to restock on holiday food. Where I met ski hill boy again, I guess he is the younger brother of a semi famous cross-country skiier. huh, he seems nice enough, but he's a little pushy... I am glad that Karro and Guro will be with me tomorrow. But besides that we got lots of yummy food, and more cola. :D

We spent most of the day just hanging out, snacking and watching the movies and such on tv. At about 8 our guests arrived and at 9 we ate supper... kinda late huh? It was nice, I tried champagne again, and i have affirmed that I do not like champagne. I've had it before, but I thought since i was younger then I might have changed and have more of an appreciation now, but that is not the fact... :P

Everybody except Karro likes the maple syrup candy that Mumand Dad sent Mamma and Pappa in thier christmas present Maine bag. there are only about 3 left, AND I DIDNT EAT THEM ALL IN CASE PEOPLE THINK I DID!!! :D

I have to say, new year is going to be one stuck in my memory. we set off fire works while it was snowing. it seems that everybody in the area was doing the same as us, it was great to see the fireworks going off over the field and down the road and trying to keep an eye on the dogs so they didn't decide to go try a firework for dessert... lol.

I cant really describe how different this new year is compared to what I experienced in the past. I am not sure I can ever experience the breathlessness of watching my family, or one branch of it, running away from a spew of multi-colored sparks right before they fly into the sky right over us. At one poin the air was so filled with smoke from the sparklers and fireworks that you could barely see the snowflakes in the air around you. Then, it was done, the new year was ushered in, and all of our fireworks and sparklers and torches were used up.

Its hard for me to see fireworks here actually. Im used to them in general, my Dad used to set them off for professional shows (before I was around) and so I hear all these stories and Ihaveall my life. Im used to seeing around 7 proffesional shows every 4th of July after spending an indeterminant amount of time with my family (if they are all family I'd be shocked actually...) so, fireworks tend to remind me of my family when I think of them. But, I wasn't homesick until after all the festivities, when I thought about what they had meant to me before I missed my family, but not as much as I normally would have.

In all honesty, I cannot say I had more fun this year because the experience is so completely different than what I am used to. But I deffenitly enjoyed myself. Im sorry, I can't think coherently enough to write, so you'll have to fill in the blanks yourselves. :D I wish you luck with that.

Today, we got up extra-late. And after eating we hae watched such shows as Dirty Dancing and I Survived a Japanese Game Show, which in my humble opinion is AWESOME!!! I love it. We are watching Narnia now, and then HP #3 :D and we eat and drink some more. I might play some Guild Wars too... :D lazy days are the BEST!!!

School is on Monday. EWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok, enough of you all trying to understand my ramblings, vi snakkes!
