Saturday

It´s been a long day, or at least for my feet. They hurt like they never did before, I´m surprised I can even feel them. I really hope it will stop hurting because I will probably not be able to sleep. I know I´m just gonna toss and turn all night.
Anyway, it´s been a good day. After my class I went to Elin and we went together to Fair Oaks Mall and met up with Julia and Julia. Nice as always and we spent a couple of hours shopping. I bought two shirts, one American Eagle and one Papaya. Really liked them both.
After the mall we cooked some dinner at Julia´s house, it was really nice :D
Tomorrow will be a lazy day, I´m gonna run in the morning I think and then hang out with the girls!
I´m so excited because it´s like two and a half week until my family will come. Want them to come right now!!
No, I´m gonna go to bed in a little bit. Goodnight.

Friday

Hiiii :D
Just came home from a dinner with Elin. We went to Blue Cheese Grill or something, it was nice. Home pretty early though since I have my class tomorrow... Booring :P But then I´ll do some shopping, yey!!

Today´s been pretty easy, had the kids til 1 pm, then I did my workout, which was superhard and my legs are still shaking, but I love it :) Then I went to Leesburg and hung out with E.

My parents will be here in less than three weeks, and my little brother of course, so excited to see them :) Just can´t stop thinking about all the things we´re gonna do, or when I´m gonna pick them up at the airport. Really wanna see them now, but not much time left until I will!

Wednesday

Just came home from dinner at Cheesecake Factory with a whole bunch of good friends :D I actually let myself eat a cheesecake tonight since I didn´t have one the last four times I was there. But instead I will have to eat good on Sunday :D And the last piece of my cheesecake I´ll have on Friday after work I think!
On the way home I and E laughed as we always do. Love you girl!!
Tomorrow I have to make an appointment for a haircut, I have to go to the post office, I have to go to the library and then I have to work out. Remind me?

Tuesday

This morning I slept in, accident. My hostdad woke up an hour later than usual, haha, I was embaressed. So Little D was late for school, bad me. I´m not gonna do it tomorrow, promise! :P
Otherwise the day has been good, the kids have been nice and since it´s been sooo boring and rainy outside we´ve been watching a lot of TV. Not good I know, but all the other days I´m trying my best to keep it off.
Tonight at my college class we discussed a lot about TV and food in America and it´s so interesting. How they can eat everything they eat, and how they can watch so much TV. It surprises me every time I think about it. '
Today I did another work out DVD. This time it was abs for 30 minutes which was haaaard. My abs are gonna feel that, but tomorrow I´m gonna do a longer one so I can really feel it. I´ve been sore from yesterday so at least it works a little :P
No, I´m gonna go to bed now. Goodnight!

Monday

So, today was Memorial Day. We´re supposed to remember the Americans that fell in war. I don´t know, it´s hard for me to relate to that. Well, I hope it was a nice day for everybody. I and the kids went to Elin´s and hung out for a couple of hours. Then we went home, ate lunch and took a bath. I called my mom and said Happy Birthday :D I also talked to a lot of relatives and friends that visited her, nice! Happy Birthday again mom!
After that I took one of Demet´s work out DVDs and tried it out. It was so tough. An hour and after that I was dead. Just wanted to go to bed, but it feels better now. Well, the whole thing is a work out plan you´re gonna follow for about 6 weeks or something. Actually considering doing that, felt so good after I did it and I think it´s a good program. I´m gonna check it out a little more and see if I like it. Just doesn´t feel good right now after I bought my gym card, but I´m thinking I´m gonna use it later, it´s for three months.

Right now I´ve been cleaing up my computer, it was so packed, but now everything is on my other harddrive instead. Much better :D
Today it´s only 23 days until mom and dad comes. Can´t wait now, so excited to see them!! And of course my little brother too, miss you!! But I´ll see you soon!

25 maj 2009

Sunday

I´m gonna go to bed in just a little bit, but I wanted to write something first.
Today I slept in since I didn´t sleep much last night. Woke up around 10 and took it easy. Drank some lovley Oboy :D Yummie!! Then I headed to Target, but when I was just getting out of the car, Maria calls and convinced me to come with them to Alexandria. I said okay and off we went. It was nice and the old town was beautiful. We hade some ice-cream. Then we just walked along the river and hung out. Went home around 5, went to Target, bought two tops and a pair of leggings and some sunscreen, Important now!!
Now I have been so good and read both of the chapters for my class on Tuesday. And I did all the exercises. Feels so good! Tomorrow I only have to come up with a comment on America. Not that hard.
Tomrrow is Memorial Day. I´m gonna work for a couple of hours still but I think I´m gonna take the kids and play with some other kids! Hope that will work out. Then tomorrow I have to go to the gym and I have to make an appointment for cutting my hair. I really need to do that now, it doesn´t look so good :S
I have been reading a lot of blogs today. And it hits me how much they influence you. At least they influence me, I guess that´s why I like to read them. But it is inspiring to read about people that succeed and are happy. Makes me realize what I have and appriciate everything so much more. It´s interesting!
No, I´m gonna brush my teeth now and then go to bed! Goodnight!

Saturday

Hm, I just realized that his morning I was at my class. It feels so long ago, like a couple of days ago. Weird. Well, after that I went home, ate some lunch, tried to study outside but fell asleep on our hammock. It was comfy and much more fun than to read my boring book. Elin called me and we went to the pool. It was nice. First I was thinking not to go in the pool, I thought it was gonna be to cold, but after 5 minutes in the sun I changed my mind. It was sooo hot, almost 35 deegres, Celcius people!! So it was nice with the pool. My first outdoor bath by the way. After that I went home, took a shower, went to Blockbuster, rented The Da Vinci Code, went home to Elin, we ate food and then watched the movie. Or I watched it, Elin slept. Little girl! Hope you´re not as tired tomorrow. But I liked the movie. We saw Angels and Deamons at the movies last night and I think I liked the Da Vinci Code more. It was easier to understand. They are both good movies though and now I really wanna read the books too.

Tomorrow I´m gonna try to buy a bikini and print some photos for a scrapbook I´m gonna make. Then we´ll see if I´m gonna do something more fun than that too! Goodnight!

23 maj 2009

Friday

Finally Friday :D
I was off at 3 so I went to the gym for 30 mintues, then took a shower and now I´m getting ready to leave. Gonna meet Elin, do some shopping and then the movies. Angels and Deamons, I´m scared already :P Haha!
It´s gonna be horrible to get up tomorrow though, it´s gonna be late tonight, I know it. But I guess some coffee will do my day, haha :P
See you later

22 maj 2009

Thursday

I´m been very good now. I cleaned by bathroom, which I should have done a week ago :S And I organized my drawers and put away the winter clothes I don´t need anymore. So now I can actually find the clothes I´m looking for instead of messing everything up! Not bad.
I have to study though, don´t feel like it. Now I´m gonna meet Elin at Starbucks and drink some coffee! Actually have to go and put some make up on. See you!

21 maj 2009

Thursday

Hi :D
Just came inside after a bikeride, how do you say that in English? Doesn´t feel right :P Well, it was nice riding on a bike again, like 8 months since I did that last so I enjoyed it. Going fast down the hills and then the pain in your thigh when you go up the hill! Love it :D
Gonna jump in the shower now and then see what E are planning tonight. My host parents are gonna watch Slumdog Millionare and I wouldn´t say no to that! We´ll see though!

Wednesday

I know I´m really bad on updating here right now, but it´s busy. I worked til 4 today, then it took me an hour to get ready for my workout since I was talking with people on the phone and bla bla. It´s my grandma´s birthday today so I had to call her, she was really happy I did that. It was fun talking to her too, always is. Then I did my workout, tried out a new video, it wasn´t that good, but okay. I´m just ready putting my makeup on, and getting dressed. I´m gonna head of to Cheesecake Factory for an aupair meeting. Get to see Julia and hopefully Julia :D
No Cheescake though, I´ll eat some dinner instead!

19 maj 2009

Tueday

I´m not dead, I´ve just been very busy and also I forgot :P But maybe I´ll write later today, need to go wake up the kids right now. See you!
Btw, I love that E is back :D It´s so good to have you back girl!

16 maj 2009

Saturday

This is to early for me, it´s 8 a clock, what am I doing up?! Well, at least after my class I get to my friends :) Going shopping today!

I have to go eat breakfast now, and make coffee! YeaY!

15 maj 2009

Friday

Just came out of the shower after my run, or walk maybe I should say. I was ready to run two miles today, but after just 2 minutes my left knee starting hurting really bad so I decided to walk and not break it. I ran a little more after that but mostly I walked. Hate my knee when it does that. I think it is because I´ve been running outside three times this week. I need to go to the gym and do the eliptical instead for a while I guess. It´s just so much more fun running outside I realized. I hated it before, but now I can actually appreciate doing it.

Soon I´m hopefully going over to Elin´s house :D I´m waiting for your call girlie!!

Thursday

Have a really bad head ache today. I think it´s beacuse of the weather, it´s so warm and heavy and clearly my body is not used to the humidity. Otherwise the day has been okay. Little D took a nap after lunch which gave me some quiet time on my own which is nice and this morning I made scones. They turned out really good and there are some left that I´m gonna heat up tomorrow.

We just finished watched the Biggest Loser Finale btw. Congratulations to Helen who won. I would have preferred Mike to win, but whatever, they all deserve it. It was a good finale anyway, just to sad the season is over. What am I going to watch now. Everything is coming to an end. Next week is the season finale of both Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill, saaad...

Today it´s 34 days til mommy and daddy comes. Yey!! Can´t wait to see them at the airport.
Tomorrow another thing is happening though that I´m really looking forward to. My favorite Elin is coming and hopefully she brought candy for me. Can´t wait to see her tomorrow afternoon. Less than 24 hours :D
This also means that my 23 days without sweets are over and I must say that I´m really proud of myself. I was a little scared in the beginning but it went so well. I don´t crave for sugar anymore and I´m gonna do everything to keep it that way. It´ll be a challenge with all that candy coming but I know I can do it!

Now I´m gonna go to bed and do some homework before I sleep. Tomorrow is Friday! Yippie :D

13 maj 2009

Tuesday

Hi there :D
Just came home from my American Culture class. It was kind of interesting tonight acutally. We had a fun discussion about economy and cars in the US and other countries. I love to hear how it is in other countries and since there are many countries represented in my class we get to do that a lot. :)
On my way out of the school there was a soccer game going on at the field. I soo wanted to go over there and watch but it was cold and I didn´t wanna stand there all by myself looking weird so I left. But gosh so much I wanted to play soccer again. My body just wanna run out on the field and kick that ball. I really wanna join some sort of team when I come home again. Just for fun you know :D

I said I was gonna put up some pictures so here are some at least!






Goodnight :D

Morning play

Mine and Big D´s creations this morning

Tuesday

Hello and good morning :D
Sitting out in the sun in our backyard right now while Big D is swinging. It´s nice out today, a little bit windy but the sun is warm :D Like that! I really hope we can have some nice weather now, it´s been raining for two weeks. Yesterday when I was a tMarshalls shopping I heard the thunder just go crazy outside, and the rain was just poring down. Had to run to the car to not get soaked :P
So, sun stay with us!!!
I´m gonna make some lunch for the girl now, see you later. Really gonna try to put some pictures up today. The last couple of days have just been so busy!

Monday

Good evening :D
Watching One Tree Hill right now. Hate the commercial breakes.
I´ve been at the gym for over one hour today. Did strength for about 30 minutes and then I did 30 minutes cardio on the treadmill. Felt great I my body feels rested now in some weird way. I even had a head ache before but it went away during my work out. I love when it makes me feel like this. These are the moments when I really understand how great it is for my body to move and exersice. Nothing is ever going to let that go away from my now that I know how it feels.

Otherwise it has been a pretty good lazy day. Dilara made me straighten her hair this morning before her school and she was so happy with it. When she was in school I took Dillon and went to the library. I had to borrow some books for my college class tomorrow about Lincoln. He was so happy we went there and I borrowed some books and movies for him too so we watched those when we came home again. I was good and did some homework actually, read a lot and I´m almost done with it. Only have to write a paper about the abundance in my country. So gotta do that tomorrow.
After work tomorrow I´m planning go for a run if it´s not raining. It´s not supposed to so I really hope I can do it. I wont have time to go to the gym so I really wanna go for a run.

Today it is 37 days until mom, dad and Tisa is coming here. That´s crazy. I have to start planning what we are gonna do while they´re here. New York City 4 days, we know that, but what are we going to do there and what are we going to do here. Have to figure that out!

Have to go to bed soon, but one last thing. On Friday Elin is coming back to me, haha :P Not me, but she´s coming here and I´ve missed her!!
Goodnight

11 maj 2009

Sunday

Hi :D

Just finished watching the Extreme Makeover, Home Edition! It´s so good, I didn´t cry today though, I always does that, haha :P
I have been studying for a couple of hours now, I have a lot to do until Tuesday when my class is. Tomorrow I have to go to the library and find a book about Lincoln :S It´s just boring. Right now I´m reading my chapter about the government and politics in the US. It´s kind of interesting, but some parts are hard to understand and it´s long. Feels like I´ve been reading forever and I´m still not through it all. Have to read some more when I´m done with this.

I was sleeping until 11 today so I´m not tired yet, probably gonna take a while for me to sleep tonight. But at least I have time to read some.
Around 2 I went to Leesburg and met my girlies Julia and Julia :D Always so nice to see them. They had brought some fruit and peanuts that we ate at IdaLee Park. Thanks for that girls!! Love hanging out with you! And Julia H, I hope everything went fine tonight, call me tomorrow. I wanna know!

No, I have to get back to my book now. Goodnight!

10 maj 2009

Saturday, or Sunday actually

Hello :D

So yesterday after I finished working I did some work out in the basement. Fifth time this week :D Yey! Then I went to Leesburg around 7 and met up with Maria and we picked up Emma and went to Anna. We all went to Georgetown and had some dinner at a very small but kind of nice restaurant. The others bought some Ben & Jerrys too, but I was good and didn´t have any :)
We ended the evening pretty early and I and Maria was back in Leesburg before twelve, we slept and this morning I had my class.
We had a substitute teacher and she was really funny. Liked her a lot more than our real teacher, haha :P
Around 2 I picked up Borre and we went to Julia in Oakton and then to Arlington to look at the Arlington Cemetary. I think we were there for a couple of hours. Borre left a little earlier but we girls stayed and watched when they switched gaurds at a place in there. Haha, the guard was actually pretty cute!
The evening we spent at Julia´s house, eating dinner with her family and then we played some Yatzy :D That was fun!

It´s been a good day with my girls and Borre :D Thank you all!
Pictures will come later, tomorrow I guess beacuse I´m pretty tired right now and I´m looing forward to lay in my bed and watch some Beverly Hills :D
Goodnight!

8 maj 2009

Thursday

Wow, this is the fourth time I´m writing today, haha! Hope I don´t bore you.
Well, I and Julia went to Fridays for the quiz and we didn´t win but we had a good time. It was weird only being the two of us, but it was okay. Since it was probably Julia´s last time too, it felt a little sad. It´s like an end of an era. Maybe that was the last time I did the quiz.

I was at the gym today, did cardio for 30 minutes, felt really good! I was listening to good music and also reading my boring schoolbook :S But it was okay. After that I went to Target, bought some cards and a par of pants and also a really cozy robe. It was kind of expensive, but it´s worth it because it´s so nice :D Really like it!
No, I have to go to bed now, it´s already over twelve, if I ever gonna get up tomorrow I have to sleep :P
Goodnight

7 maj 2009

Thursday

Just finished working and just realized that tomorrow it´s Friday :D yeah, the weeks pass by so fast you dont even know it.
Started to look at different schools and educations for when I come back and there is a lot that is really interesting. I´m really thinking about study to be a teacher for younger kids. I wanna work with English and I would love to do some other language too, so I´m gonna see what I can find. Then we´ll se if it´s gonna be next year or if I´m gonna stay here for another year. But that´s a whole other thing, haha!

Want to take a walk but it´s thunder outside so I think I´m gonna skip that. Maybe I´ll go to the gym after dinner and do something before I´ll meet Julia at Fridays for the quiz :D

Thursday

Found an old picture on a beautiful boy :D

Thursday

Had the worst head ache yesterday, again. Don´t know why and if it keeps coming back I guess I have to check it. It´s weird that it´s coming back like that. I and Maria went to the gym and then Panera for some dinner. After that I went home and went to bed. Got to sleep a lot so at least I felt good this morning. Tonight I think I´m going to the gym and then Fridays I hope? Anybody?

I feel like I have a lot of stuff to remember this week. I have to buy gifts and send to Sweden berfore Friday, I need to go to the library and look for a book, and I have to write a speech until Saturday for my class. I don´t know about what yet, so maybe I should start. It´s just so boring. I have no plans for my weekend either so maybe I should see what I´m gonna do, hm..

Now I´m gonna write an email to my friend in Sweden :D Alice!

6 maj 2009

Wednesday

Goodmorning :D

I was so tired when I came home from my class yesterday. My head wanted to explode so I went to bed right away. Ut was a really interesting class though for once, we had a really good discussion about China, Korea and Thailand that I don´t know anything about. The bad thing is now we got a bunch of homework to do since we really didn´t talk about what we were supposed to talk about, hm :S

I have to go wake the kids up now so they can eat their breakfast and be nice kids, haha :P I need some breakfast too, my tummy is hungry :P

5 maj 2009

Monday

Hi there :D
Home after a nice evening with some friends. Went to Panera bread with Maria, Julia, Borre and Sandra. Really nice just sitting and talking. I also finished my paper for tomorrows class, so I don´t have to do it tomorrow, yeay!

Today I and little D went to the pool and met Maria and Sandra and their kids. He loved it so that was nice. We also built his new traintrack that he got for his birthday. Now it´s pretty big and has more tracks than before so he enjoyed that :D Here is a happy little D!



Goodnight!!

Saturday

So yesterday we were going to celebrate "valborg" at Borre´s house. One day late I know, but whatever. We wanted a party :P Haha! So I and Maria walked over there, really nice walk and over there Borre made as all drinks, they were really good. Then he had also made lasanga, the best I´ve ever had. Sooo good :D More and more drinks it was, all really good and around 12 I and Maria walked back home. The others stayed and partied to whole night if I got it right.
This morning I woke up at eight with a light hangover and hated the fact that I had to go to my college class. It just sucked. But off I went with Emma, thanks for the ride and we sat there for 3 hours. At least I was there.

The afternoon we spent at Tyson´s corner and I spent a lot of money. Maybe a little too much, but I felt like I could use some new clothes. It was fun do some shopping for once. I´ll upload some pictures later. Also pictures from last night will come :)
Right now I´m hoping Maria will come with a movie and be my company tonight!

I also got to talk to my dearest Elin tonight, my cutie. Miss you and it was good to hear your voice. I really hope you´re having a great time in Sweden, without me, haha :P

1 maj 2009

Friday

I´m really tired tonight so I´m thinking about taking a little nap, but I have to do my workout and I need to go to Giant and get some things. Then noight it is party at Borre´s house, tomorrow morning my college class and then we´ll probably go to Tyson´s. Just feel like I have a lot to do a think about and I only wanna sleep. I´ve been working a lot this week so I´m tired. Well, we´ll se what I do. It´s only three a clock. But here´s some pictures from last night. Our goodbye to Aimi!
