Last day of August
Nice. Söndagen spenderade vi ute på Coronado Island med sol och bad. :) Såg lite delfiner och lyssnade lite på musik. Haha, jag har ju som sagt köpt högtalare som man kan ta med till stranden. 10 dollar, billig skit. Efter det drog vi av någon anledning upp till outletten i Carlsbad. Helt fel håll liksom, nåväl Alisa hittade skor. Henrik var trött. Alla var hungriga. Senare tog jag en sväng till Sherri och sa hej. Trevligt. Idag är jag ledig. Nice. Ska ta mig ner till stranden senare och hyra en surfbräda och försöka mig på det där igen. Hehe.
Tills dess, stay out of trouble!

Nice. We spend the day out on Coronado Island with sun and dips on the ocean. :) Saw some dolphins and listen to music. Haha, I've bought this portable speakers you can bring to the beach. 10 bucks, cheap shit. Later for some reason we went to the outlet in Carlsbad. Totally the opposite way, well, Alisa found shoes. Henrik were tired. Everyone were hungry. Later I paid a visit to Sherri. Nice. I'm off today. Nice. I'll go down to the beach and rent a surfboard and try that again later. Hehe.
Until then, stay out of trouble!
:)
Party party!
Jag jobbade lite grann nu här imorse, tog med barnen till stranden. Av någon anledning var det inte lika skönt som vanligt. Det var fruktansvärt varmt och barnen gnällde. Iallafall lite sol fick man allt. Sedan i eftermiddag drog jag till stranden igen med Alisa, Li, Henrik, Beyhan och hennes kusin. (Minns inte hans namn, jag och nya namn..) Vi spelade beachtennis, men mest låg man i vattnet och flöt för heeeeeej vad varmt det är. Nu sitter jag och väntar på att Henrik ska duscha färdigt så vi kan dra hem till Li och laga mat och börja kvällen lite smått för senare ikväll blir det Bar West. Me like! Tar resten imorgon, tills dess, gör inget som jag inte skulle göra och stay out of trouble. ;P
Translation:
I worked a little bit this morning, I took the kids to the beach. For some reason wasn´t it as nice as it use to be. It was freakin' hot and the kids were whiney. Well, I got some sun. Then this afternoon I went to the beach with Alisa, Li, Henrik, Beyhan and her cousin. (Don't remember his name, me and names..) We played beachtennis, but more often you found us in the water because heeeeeey it's so hot. Now I'm waiting for Henrik to finish his shower so we can go to Li's house and cook food and start the evening. Because tonight we're going to Bar West. Me like! Take the rest tomorrow. Until then, don't do anything I wouldn't do and stay out of trouble. ;P
Pusspuss hej då!

Beach and pool
Idag började jag inte jobba innan klockan 3, så jag passade på att ta en tur ner till stranden. Himla gött att ligga där med en bok och min musik. Vattnet var uppfriskande och solen stekte. Mums. När jag började jobba drog jag och barnen till Alisa och Saya och deras pool. Hehe, det var så himla skönt och ja, avsvalkande. Idag har det varit 99 F!! Omg, I'm melting away. Var det Henrik som sa igår att 25 grader i Sverige är inte lika mycket som 25 grader i San Diego. Och jag kan hålla med. Värmen här är så mycket mer. Konstigt nog. Fast ioförsej, idag har det varit nästan 40 grader varmt... Haha, nu jobbar jag kväll iallafall, ganska så himla tråkigt. Har nog kommenterat på alla mina kompisars bilder på facebook hela kvällen och ja. Inget kul på tv. Haha. Varmt är det iallafall. Nu ska jag kolla på the Nanny.
JO en sak till. Gissa vem som vaknade klockan 6 imorse av att tv:n fortfarande var på? Omg.
Translation:
I didn't start work until 3 today, so I paid a visit to the beach today. So nice to lay there with a good book and my music. The water was refreshing and the sun were baking. Yummie! When I started to work the kids and me took off to meet Alisa and Saya at their pool. Hehe, it was so nice and refreshing. Today it's been 99 F!! Omg, I'm melting away. I believe it was Henrik that said that 25 C in Sweden isn't as hot as 25 C in San Diego. And I agree with that. It's so much hotter here. Weirdly enough. But, to be honest here's been almost 40 C today... haha, well, I'm working tonight, a little boring. I think I made comments on every friend's pictures I got on facebook. Nothing exciting on the tv either. Now I'm gonna watch The Nanny.
Oh yes, one more thing. Guess who woke up at 6am this morning with the tv still on? Omg.
For some reason this is the only picture I managed to upload here tonight. Henrik and I at Cheesecake Factory. I'll make a new try again tomorrow with the pool pics. :)

A Swede through a strangers eye
Hostel No. 8, London
En något överförfriskad kille och en tjej ~25 står och pratar. De verkar ha träffat varandra genom att båda vara gäster på vandrarhemmet.
Kille 1: So where are you from?
Tjej 1: I'm from Sweden.
Killen granskar tjejen en stund.
Kille 1: Then why aren't you naked?
HAHAHAHA!

A drunk guy and a girl ~25 are having a conversation. They seem to have met eachother by both being guests at the hostel.
Guy: So where are you from?
Girl: I'm from Sweden.
The guy checks the girl out for a second.
Guy: Then why aren't you naked?
HAHAHA!
Wihoooooooooo
It's so nice and hot!!!!! Och jag klagar inte för jag vet att jag snart hemma i kylan igen fortare än vad du kan säga stranden.
Translation:
It's so nice and hot!!!!! But I don't complain because I know I'll be back home in the cold faster than you could say beach.

Heatwave
Oj oj oj. Inte för att klaga, men det är lite varmt. Typ 91 F inomhus. Det var 98 F när jag var ute och körde innan. Inte illa. Men ojsingen vad varmt det är när man inte har tillgång till pool eller kan vara på stranden hela dagen. Klockan är nu nästan 6.00 och det är fortfarande kokande hett men jag ska snart ut och springa så efter det kan jag ta en svalkande dusch. Nice. Vi åkte faktiskt till stranden imorse och det var förbannat gott.
Igårkväll var vi på Cheesecake Factory då Beyhan fyllde år. Åt en gigantisk sallad som var mer konst än maträtt. Hehe, göött. Sedan så självklart åt vi en massa cheesecake. Därför ska jag springa idag. Senare ska vi till Livingroom again.
Translation:
Oh my oh my. Not to complain or anythig but it's a little bit hot. Like 91 F indoors and 98 F outside. Not bad. But boy it's hot when you don't have a pool or can be at the beach all day. The time now is almost 6.00 and it's still boiling but I'm soon heading out for a run and THEN I can take a nice and cool shower. Nice. We went to the beach this morning and it was really nice.
Yesterday we went to Cheesecake Factory because of Beyhans birthday. Ate gigantic sallad that was more a piece of art than a dish. Hehe, and of course we ate a lot of cheesecake. That's why I'm soon heading out for a run. Later I'm off to the Livingroom.

Avsked, igen.
Igår hade vi lite avskedsmiddag för Susi som åker hem imorgon. Känns så konstigt för alla som var här när jag kom hit har nu snart åkt hem. Susi är den sista. Jag är nu gamlingen i gänget. Nåväl, vi har kul :) Igår åt vi Sushi och sedan youghurt land. Kollade på "moonset" nere vid havet. Var konstigt för månen gick ner vid tio. Lustigt det där, aldrig sett innan.
Nu jobb.
Translation:
We had a goodbye-dinner for Susi yesterday, she goes back home on Thursday. Feels a little bit weird when everyone who were here when I got here leaves. But we have fun anyway. :) We had sushi yesterday adn after that youghurtland. Watched the moonset. Haha was weird. The moon set in the ocean at ten. Never seen before. Weird.
Now, work.

Bästa idag
Haha, fick just höra att min 3-åriga syster har samma favoritlåt just nu som jag. Henrik känn på denna; STAY THE NIGHT! Känns bra att veta att vi har samma gener jag och lilla Emmy :)
Translation:
Haha, I just heard that my 3-year old sister and I have the same favorite song right now. Henrik, feel this; STAY THE NIGHT! Feels good to know that we got the same genes, me and little Emmy. :)

Stay the night
Haha, jag är helt insnöad på Alcazars låt Stay the Night, går på repeat när jag är ensam. Haha. Har redan fått Li att sjunga på den och Henrik är på god väg. Bara att Henrik inte lika förtjust i låten som jag är. Haha. Iallafall igår av någon anledning drog vi till Hooters (En snabbmatsrestaurang med lättklädda brudar till servitriser...) och det var inte lika illa som man först trodde. Hade tänkt mig halvt nakna tjejer dansandes runt i lokalen men icke sa Nicke det vara bara något lättklädda servitriser. Alisa och jag konstaterade med en gång att dem borde öppna ett Hooters för kvinnor, alltså med manliga servitörer. Där hade vi lätt hängt en del. ;D Efter Hooters flötiga mat drog vi till The Livingroom och deras Hookah Lounge. (Hookah är vattenpipa.) Himla skoj det där och vi hade riktigt roligt, jag var inte hemma förrän efter midnatt nån gång. Kämpigt imorse att gå upp, men äsch, man lever bara en gång. Vart på stranden idag med barnen, yummie, värmen nu är i topp. Jag njuter.
Translation:
Haha, I'm totally stuck on Alcazars song Stay the Night, I've put it on repeat. Haha. I've already got Li to sing on it and Henrik is on his way. Only the fact that he doesn't fancy the song at all. Haha. Anyways, for some reason we went to Hooters yesterday but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I thought there was going to be half naked girls dancing around everywhere but nope, not at all. Only half naked servants. Alisa and I said that they should open Hooters with only male servants. We would eat there. After Hooters we went to The Living room and their Hookah Lounge. We had a lot of fun and I wasn't home until after midnight. Hard times this morning waking up, but eh, what the heck you only live once. Today we went to the beach with the kids. The weather is so nice and hot right now and I enjoy every second of it.

Surfing makes you so freakin' sore.
Jag har lite svårt att lyfta armarna idag. Mina ben är ömma, min rumpa är öm. Omg, surfing ger en verkligen en helkroppsworkout. Vi hyrde brädor för en halvdag igår och oj vad kul det är, svårt, men ruskigt kul. After that drog vi till den mexikanska outletten där de andra shoppade loss. Jag hittade inget roligt så för mig blev det en billig tripp. Senare hamnade vi i Old Town där vi åt mexikansk mat, vad annat? Fått mitt schema för mina fem sista veckor, känns lite konstigt. Snart är jag hemma igen.
Idag var jag uppe hos Reija och hälsade på. Fick min nya kamera så nu kan jag ta så fina kort så! Vi umgicks och hängde vid poolen. Nice. Nu ska jag sova för jag fick en väldans huvudvärk. Puss!
Translation:
I'm having some problems with lifting my arms today. My legs are sore, my butt is sore. Omg, surfing really does give you a full body workout. We rented boards for a half day yesterday and wow it's so much fun, hard, but fun. After that we decided to go to the outlet down at the mexican border where the others spended their money but I didn't really find anything. Later we had dinner in Old Town, mexican, what else? I got my schedule for my five last weeks, feels a little bit weird. Soon I'm back home again.
Today I took a visit at Reija's. I got my new camera today so now I can take some really nice pictures! We hanged out and layed at the pool. Nice. Now I'm gonna go and sleep because this major headache just hit me. Kiss!

The delio for tonight
Haha, vi hamnade på IKEA ikväll. Eller ja, det var planen från början, efter mycket om och men kom vi dit, (i två olika bilar..Henrik och Beyhan i en, Alisa, Li and I i en annan.) klockan halv nio, restaurangen stängde halv nio. Tji på den maten. Neheee, så vi hamnade på Oggi's istället. Ett mysigt ställe jämte IKEA. Gott. Efter det satt vi i bilen på parkeringen(?) och lyssnade på musik och försökte oss på lite tyska. När den enda meningen jag kan på tyska är Ich bin un kartoffelsallat kommer man inte långt kan jag lova. Lite Javohl slängde jag in också, men jag måste erkänna att tyska inte är min starka sida. Sedan blev det lite lek bak där i bilen. Henrik och jag hittade en sån där bricka man kan rita på och sudda ut vad man ritat lika fort, sån där magnetsak. Ruskigt kul hade vi. Nu är det faktiskt sängen som gäller, det är ju faktiskt en dag imorgon också.
Kyss och smek.
Translation:
Haha, we ended up at IKEA tonight. Or yes, that was the plan, but after many turns back and forth we got there at 8.30. The restaurant closed at 8.30. Beyhan and Henrik were a little late and Alisa, Li and I were in time in a diffrent car. Well, we ended up at Oggi's instead, right next to IKEA. After that we ended up in the car and listened to music and tried to speak german. But if the only sentence you know in german is; Ich bin un kartoffelsallat you don't get that very far. Ok, I threw in some Jahvol too but german is not my biggest talent. Then we had some playtime in the car. Henrik and I found this thing you can draw on and erase to with help of magnets. Really fun. Now it's the bed for me, it's a day tomorrow too.

Busted
Nu lägger jag det bakom mig, "42" kommer ifrån Strömstad så varför ens lägga energi på det hela?
Hamnade på stranden idag med Alisa, niiiice. Barnen lekte, vi solade. Bättre jobb kan man faktiskt inte ha. Efter jobb drog jag till stallet. Hade lektion idag och oj vad kul det var. Samtidigt var han lite kinkig idag och lite moody men bättre än förra gången gick han allt, Billy lille. Skavt av skinnet mellan fingrarna iallafall. Efter ridlektion vart det hem som gällde med lite dusch och mat, sedan mötte jag upp Li och Alisa för lite mys at the Living Room. Nu är jag trött och ska sova.
Kyss och smek!
Translation:
I'm putting it behind me, "42" comes from Strömstad (Sweden) so why even bother?
Today Alisa and I ended up at the beach where the kids played and we just enjoyed the sun. Niiice. You can't have a better job. Right after work I took the car out to the stable where I today had lesson. It was so much fun. But the horse were a little bit moody today but he was better than last time, little Billy. I don't have any skin left on my fingers though. After the lesson I went home had some dinner and a shower and then I met up Li and Alisa for some qualitytime at the Living Room. Now I'm tired and will go to bed.

That's odd.
Haha, var någon kommenterat ett inlägg här under med musik. S.k "42" tyckte jag skulle sluta göra propaganda för min musiksmak. Den suger tydligen. Haha, orka vara arg. Låt bli att lyssna och läsa om det är så förbannat jobbigt och stå för vem du nu än är.
Translation:
Haha, someone had made a comment and told me that I should stop write about what new music I like, because apparently, it sucks. Haha, this "42" sounded angry, and I have just one thing to say; if it's such a pain to read and listen to my blog, then don't bother to do it, especially when I don't know who you are. Have mercy.

Cookiemonster here!
Hehe, Daphne och Dylan har en docka från Sesame Street, en blå rufsig sak som heter Cookiemonster. Han och jag har en liten rolig historia. Bland mina första veckor här var jag ute och körde i mörkret låg han i baksätet, och rätt som det var skrek han "Coooookkkiiiieeeeesss!!!" Haha, snacka om att bli lite rädd. Iallafall, här har ni honom; Cookiemonster!
Translation:Hehe, Daphne and Dylan got a doll from Sesame Street, a blue, raggy thing named Cookiemonster. Him and I have a funny history together.

Pepparkaka
Hihi, idag vart vi på stranden. Hihi, jag är en pepparkaka har jag konstaterat och jag njuter av varje sekund. :) Idag införskaffades ett beachtennis, och vi spelade tappert. Li och jag hade en riktig duell och ja, efter en stund krävdes bad i det blå, för att slänga sig i sanden funkade inte längre. :P Efter det tog Henrik och jag en match (Ja, min svenska vän är tillbaka så jag kan prata svenska igen! Tjohooo!) men vi insåg tillslut att vi pratade mest en massa skit om vad som hänt och massa så vi lade ner den idén. Hehe. Annars solade vi och göttade oss en massa. Imorgon ska jag ge mig på att hyra en surfboard och träna på det ett tag. Nice.
Ikväll jobbar jag en sväng. Sedan blir det till att ge mig ut och träffa alla mina vänner igen. Tihi. Som jag sa till min mamma imorse. Detta blir en lugn helg. Den idén gick ganska fort åt skogen.. ;)
Nu ska jag kika lite till på Titanic.
Translation:
Hihi, we went to the beach today. Hihi, I look like a gingerbreadman and I'm enjoying every single second of it. :) I bought a beachtennisgame today and we played good. Li and I had a tough match and yes, we needed to cool off in the water because it didn't help anymore to roll in the sand. Haha, after that I took a match against Henrik. (Yes, my swedish friend is back so I can speak swedish again! Wihhooo!) But we realised after a while that we didn't play any good, we just caught up on gossip and things so we quit playing. Haha, otherwise we just had a nice day in the sun. I'm going to rent a surfboard tomorrow and practice. Nice.
I'm working for a couple of hours tonight. After that I'm going out a little bit to see my friends. Tihi. As I said to my mom this morning; this is gonna be a calm weekend. Yeah, right. ;)
Now I'm gonna keep watching Titanic.

Liberation
I loooooove this song. Do I need to say anything else?
The advice of the day, Chinese Astrology, Snake.
Haha, detta är faktiskt lite lustigt.
" Even if you have a long fuse, this could be a day when you're prone to lose your temper. It may be difficult, but practice patience if things seem to be moving too slowly on the job or in your love life. You may want to make things happen, but you can rarely force growth, and you can never force feelings."
Just because...
Bara för att mina ben är bruna.
Just because my legs are tanned.
Rough day
Herregud, jag är så moody idag. Barnen är gnälliga, jag är gnällig. Inget går som jag vill, men som tur är slutar jag halv fem så jag kan gå in på mitt rum och sura i fred. Och för att inte sura ner mig totalt ska jag ikväll möta upp Alisa och Stefanie. Sällskap piggar alltid upp. Som igår när jag pratade med Stefanie om att jag skulle vilja tatuera mig så var hennes första reaktion; "As long as it's not a ugly yellow bird on your butt!" Jag menar, vem kan hålla sig för skratt då?
Så min tanke just nu, Lil' E. Blir kallad det dagligen här, vore lite najs. Nacken? Hm, tål att tänkas på. Vad tycker ni? Jag behöver lite respons angående detta ;)
Translation:
Omg, I'm in such a bad mood today. The kids are whiney, I'm whiney. Nothing goes the way I want it to, but luckily enough I'm off at 4.30 so I can go to my room and be in a bad mood by myself. But to not be all alone and get all depressed I'm going out with Stefanie and Alisa tonight. Company is always the medicin for bad mood. :) Like yesterday when I told Stefanie about my thoughts about a tatoo; "As long as it's not a ugly yellow bird on your butt!" Hello, who would not laugh about that?! So what I'm thinking right now; Lil' E. They call me that here every day, it would be nice. In my neck? What do you think? I need some respons. ;)

Sea World
Fick lite uppmaningar här om att jag kanske ska skriva lite om när jag jobbar också. Haha, min kusin tyckte att det inte såg ut som jag jobbade nåt utan bara hade en massa hyss för mig :D Idag kan jag faktiskt tala om att vi har varit på Sea World. Jag har åkt saker som jag inte åkt på åratal. Sånt i stil med tekopparna och flygplan som man får flyga själva, man trycker på en spak så åker planet upp. Wihooo! Varmt var det dock. Släpa på två ungar, en väska och en stroller var slitsamt. Tursamt nog hade jag hjälp av Kate och Anya. :) Vad eftermiddagen bjuder på får vi se.
Translation:
I got some suggestions that I maybe should write some more about when I'm working, because it sounds like I never work ;D Well, today I can tell you that I've been to Sea World. I've been going on rides that I haven't been on for years, like teacups and airplane thingis. Wihoo! But it was hot though. Drag on two kids, a bag and a stroller was exhausting. Luckily enough I got help from Kate and Anya. :) What we'll do this afternoon is still a big questionmark.

I got some suggestions that I maybe should write some more about when I'm working, because it sounds like I never work ;D Well, today I can tell you that I've been to Sea World. I've been going on rides that I haven't been on for years, like teacups and airplane thingis. Wihoo! But it was hot though. Drag on two kids, a bag and a stroller was exhausting. Luckily enough I got help from Kate and Anya. :) What we'll do this afternoon is still a big questionmark.

Poff.
Att ett så simpelt ord kan vara så kul? :) Ikväll vart Alisa, Stefanie, Li och jag på Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Nice film. Väldigt mörk, men helt klart sevärd. Och ja, roligaste var nog; "I had a fish once. One day she just disappeared...like...poff!"
Dagen började på Birch Aquarium och sedan stranden till eftermiddagen. Nice. Tog mig en löprunda innan bion. Det var varmt. Nu ska jag sova. Jag är trött, Li och jag hade gäspmarathon i bilen. Undra vem som vann. Nåväl, godnatt!
Translation:
How can such a simple word as Poff be so funny? :) Tonight Alisa, Stefanie, Li and me went to the movies, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Nice movie. Really dark, but definitly worth seeing. And yes, the funniest part must have been; "I had a fish once. One day she just disappeared...like...poff!"
The day started at Birch Aquarium and ended at the beach. Nice. Took a run before I went to the movie. That was hot. Now I'm going to bed. I'm tired, Li and I had a yawningcompetition in the car. I wonder who won. Well well, nighty night!

Bra start på veckan
Söndagar räknas ju som första dagen på veckan i de amerikanska almenackorna. Igår vart vi på stranden, varmt och skönt, tog en timmas lång nap i eftervärmen. (Efter 4 svalnar det av sådär gött..) Efter det drog vi och handlade lite picnic mat som vi tog med till parken och hade det lite mer mysigt. :) Vi hade en riktig tjejdag och töntade oss en massa. Niiice. Idag kom min värdmammas pappa på besök med familj. Trevliga prickar. Nu ska jag och Lusci sova. Ja han har blivit utvisad till mitt rum, lite trångt inne i huset ;D
Translation:
Good start of the week.
Sundays counts as the first day of the week here in the american calender. Yesterday we went to the beach, hot and nice. I took an hour nap in the afterheat. (It starts to cool down after 4pm) Afterwards we went to but som food that we brought as a picnic to the park. We had a real girlday/night and had so much fun. Niiice. Today did my hostmom's day w/ family arrive for a week visit. Nice people. Well, now it's time for Lusci and me to sleep. Yes, he moved in with me this week. The house is a little bit crowded. :D

Helgens bravader
Ja, fredags tror jag att jag skrev att jag var nere hos Sherri, kollade lite fireworks och sedan hem för att sova. Jobbade ju som sagt lördag morgon. Denna helgen har varit lite konstig, vänner som hamnar på sjukhus för halsfluss(?), IKEA-besök(igen) och nya smeknamn. Ja, nu heter jag tydligen också "The little yellow bird". Jag har ett tag spekulerat lite löst i att kanske skaffa en liten tatoo som minne härifrån (nej mamma jag har inte bestämt något än, men en liten tanke finns ju;) och jag sa att man kanske skulle tatuera in "Lil E" nånstans, det vore ju lite roligt. Hehe, då sa hon att det lät som en liten cartoonfigure, och ja om jag vore en cartoon så såg hon mig som en liten gul fågel. "There most be a little yellow bird somwhere in Sweden." Sånumera är jag även "The Lil yellow bird". Nice. Efter lite tänkande frågade jag senare varför jag inte kunde få vara något mer roligare som en söt pengvin eller nåt istället för en trist gul fågel. Men hennes svar blev; there is no yellow penguins. Nehe, tji fick jag. Haha.
Nu ska jag snart ner till stranden med min vänner. Denna gången är det lite lustigt för ingen av våra killkompisar är med. Den ena är ute på roadtrip och den andre hade nåt familjemöte, eller sammankomst. Jag vet knappt vad saker heter på svenska längre. Illa.
Translation:
Well, I think I wrote on Friday that I was down at Sherri's house, watching the fireworks and later home to bed. I worked saturday morning. This weekend has been a little bit weird, friends that ended up at hospital b/c of strep throut(?), visits at IKEA (again..) and new nicknames. Yes, nowadays I'm also called "the little yellow bird". I've been thinking a little bit about maybe getting a tatoo as a memory of SD, so I sad that I maybe should tatoo in "Lil E" somewhere, that would be fun. Hehe, Sherri sad that it sounded like a little cartoon figure and if I were a cartoon she saw me as a yellow little bird. "There most be a little yellow bird somewhere in Sweden". So I'm now also the "little yellow bird". Nice. After some thinking I later asked why I couldn't be anything more exciting like a penguin or something, but her reply was: "There's no yellow penguins". Hepp, that was it. Haha.
Soon I will go down to the beach with some friends. This time it's a little weird b/c none of our male friends are here. One is on a roadtrip and the other had some gathering with his family. Let's hope our volleyball game won't be to bad anyway.

Stefanie and I went shopping at Nordstrom's rack, and at this picture we hadn't even made it through the first half of the store.
Well, I needed to take a new picture of me, so you don't forget what I look like ;)
And I brought Sherri to IKEA. CHOCOLATE!

Fredag
Det har faktiskt inte hänt så mycket mer sen sist. Jag har sprungit som en stolle. Käkat lite (eller mycket, beror på hur man ser det) choklad från IKEA. Alltid gott. Nu ska jag sova, jobbar imorgon bitti.
Translation:
It haven't happend that much since last time. I've been running like an idiot. Been eating some chocolate more or less (I guess more..) from IKEA. Always yummie. Now I'm going to sleep, I'm working tomorrow morning.

Vad som går på repeat i min stereo? Kings of Leon - Sex on fire

I believe the thing they call summer is here now.
Omg, jag smälter bort. Inte ett mål på himlen och en sol som gassar rakt in i huset hela dagen gör det outhärdligt här inne. Jag klagar inte på värmen eller någonting, för jag älskar den! Meeeen, när man måste sitta inne i huset hela dagen och det är närmare 90 F inomhus, ja, då blir det lätt lite klibbigt så fort man rör sig. Och när den enda svalkan man kan få är att lägga sig tryckt mot golvet och hoppas på en bris från dörren. Uscha. Haha, men jag klagar inte, för jag vet att det snart kommer att ta slut alltihopa. Tänkte mest bara tala om för er att San Diego's sommar är här nu. :D Med besked!
Translation:
Omg, I'm melting away. Not a cloud as far as you can see and a sun that's baking on the house all day through makes it unpleasant to be inside. I'm not complaining or something, because I love it! Buuuut, to be inside the house all afternoon and it's close to 90 F indoors, well, it's a little bit sweaty! And the only source of coolness I can find is a spot on the floor next to the door. I'm just waiting for that breeze to come in through the door. But as I said, I'm not complaining, because I know it all will end soon. I just wanted to tell you that San Diego's summer is here now. Big time!

Haha!
Sunday funday
Gårdagskvällen var kul. Vi hamnade på Bar West och oj vad roligt det var att dansa igen. Hade ruskigt kul. En kille var helt crazy och dansade som en tok. Ska visa en video när jag får orken te't. Idag hamnade vi nere på stranden igen. Spelade volleyboll och latade oss. Niiice. Skulle egentligen gått på bio ikväll men jag vart så trött så jag hyrde The Curious Case of Benjamin Button och stannade hemma istället.
Nu, bilder.
Translation:
Yesterday was fun. We ended up at Bar West and wow it was so much fun dancing again. I had so much fun. One guy was all crazy and danced like a maniac. I'll show you a video when I get a chance. Today we ended up at the beach again. Played volleyball and just relaxed. Niiice. I was supposed to go to the movies tonight but I was so tired that I rented The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and stayed home instead.
Now, pictures.
Gross...

It was fun :D
Elin, Henrik och Li.
And some fights for the ball. I won :D

Weekend this far.
Igårkväll lagade Henrik och jag spagetti och köttfärssås. Sedan drog vi till Sherri och kollade på fyrverkerierna som skjuts upp från Sea World. Sedan somnade jag gott framför en film. Klockan 1 vaknade jag och vi åkte hem. :P Haha.
Idag drog vi till stranden. Hängde där hela dagen och nu väntar jag på att mina kompisar ska komma, men dem fick punka på bilen så vem vet hur länge det dröjer... Hm, keligt värre. Men nu fick jag reda på att Ida kommer och hämtar mig. Nice. :D
See you all tomorrow!

Nu skriver jag inte mer innan jag får ett levnadstecken från er. Fruktansvärt tråkigt att skriva utan respons. :D STREJK!
(För övrigt lever jag och har hälsan!)
