… då går det bra för Sverige.
En härlig dag har gått till historieböckerna, och jag är lika nöjd som laxen på middagsbordet. Förutom det faktum att jag varit ledig idag så har jag äntligen fått spendera lite tid med Louise och hennes kära syster & pojkvän som kommit på besök från Danmark. Louise har lekt [...]

Quick…
My first clustermeeting today - liked it. Went on a boat at one of the Finger Lakes, having lunch and spending some time at Carole’s house, sorry, mansion. Shopping with Louise & Aline and just hanging out with Louise at my house this evening with guacamole, strawberries and music. I’ll survive.

Snabbt…
Mitt första au-pairmöte idag - [...]

That I almost would become a clothes-freak here in the US was a shocker. I’ve fallen in love with the store Urban Outfitters. I remember the first time I entered that store, it was in Manchester, England. And I didn’t find anything and I thought “what a crappy store, I’m never setting my foot there [...]

Okay. A lot can happen in 24 hours, I’ll give you that.
Woke up at Louise’s house, we ate some scrabble eggs and then I took off and went home. When I got up I found something rather interesting in my bedroom. A pile of tea lights that someone have eaten. Eat ants? No, eat tea [...]

YO!
What a day, long and fun! Got up at 6 to have some morningtime with the little cutie. We played around, ate breakfast, then I drove him to school. On the way back I went to Cass Park to walk the loop, then I went home and took a walk with the dog - so [...]

Ooooh, why have a short headline when you can have a long one?
Do I have news for you or what? YES!
The two last days have been awesome. Yesterday I chose to have some quality-time with myself, which was great. I went to Starbucks, drank a smoothie and thought about the smoothies I used to make [...]

The headline is very corny, but I look for corny in my life!
A great weekend has passed and week 33 just started. The time is going really fast here, some days faster than others, but that’s the way is goes! The weekend offered some chillin’ in front of the computer, some nice walks with the [...]

Good combination right?
At the moment I’m having a cold that won’t go away, even though host-mom been very helpful with different drugs to make me feel better. Today I spent most of the day in bed, resting and reading. Hate being sick! Tomorrow I’m deciding to feel much better, that’s for sure!
Been to the pool [...]

Here we go again. I’ll never learn. That sun and me don’t love eachother for more than 2 hours. 4 hours is a bit too much maybe? Now I look like a crayfish… again. But the day was so nice. I woke up and ate fruitsalad for breakfast, then I decided to go and get [...]

I’ve kind of sucked the last couple of days - I haven’t updated my blog so that people could keep track of me.
Actually, it’s been kind of relaxed and laid back. Host-kid is kind of sick, coughing a lot. That little munchkin. I met my danish friend Louise the other day. I had dinner with [...]

Today was one of these days that went by very fast. In a good way. I got up at 8, after stated that I had a bad night’s sleep. I woke up a bunch of times and it was too warm in my room. Baah. Host-mom told me today that there were thunderstorm last night [...]

Wow!
We had the paella-fiesta yesterday, and it went great. Me and host-mom ended up alone at home, and we decided to set up everything so all the stuff already were done when the party started. Me and host-mom carried out a bar made of wood, and that thing weighed A LOT. Today my arms are [...]

If I had a great day today? YES!
I woke up at 7:30, ate some breakfast, all recording to my diet. After doing a couple of things at home I went out walking & running with the little puppy. Nice as hell! Now it feels good. I’m eating 1400 calories a day, but I eat every [...]

Hey!
It’s almost time for bed, just wanted to write a couple of notes here in my blog first. Today was a groundbreaking day. I went out walking and running before I picked up C from school. Felt really good! Maybe it will work this time?
This evening I established that I’m grateful for a lot of [...]

The last two days I’ve been kind of just relaxing in my own mind. It’s hard to not get on a plane when you know that someone back home is hurting. But I want to stay here. The one thing I can offer is my time… I want to talk to you and just listen [...]

A great day has passed, actually, where did the day go?
I picked C up from school, he had a 3 hour nap til 2, then I made a picnic-basket for us to go to the park - Stewart Park. My favorite park so far. They had a BIG playground, a beautiful view over the Cayuga [...]

It really hurts when people that I love are hurting… especially when there’s nothing I can do about it. But I’ll stand by you, all the time.
I have now done two things that you gotta see if you’re spending one year here.
First of is the Grassroots Festival. A festival that’s on for 4 days. My [...]

I just got home from the cinema. I saw Potter of course. I got really upset, not only because it ended with someone dying, but also that the guy who was in charge of the movie running properly, paused the movie twice. And the 2nd time he didn’t even put on the sound. When the [...]

Hey everyone!
I’m all settled in Ithaca at my Host-Family’s place. I like it here, my room is really nice. I actually took the time yesterday to buy a bunch of tea-lights to make it cosy. So now I’m really happy. I’ve already had the time to buy dresses, shirts, shorts, flowers and a lot of [...]

Ja, nu är hon framme i Conneticut. Detta är ju makalöst. Om det känns så här varje dag så kommer ett år gå hur snabbt som helst.
Okej, flygresan gick galant. Gratis mat och dricka. Och varje säte hade en egen tv där man kunde välja bland 50 olika filmer eller lyssna på musik, fanns 150 [...]
