I was so excited when I saw that they do indeed sell "baked beans" here. Then I got some and realised that they sell British baked beans. Which is beans in tomato sauce. Ew. I want some of my good old southern baked beans, thank you very much.

And I have gained ten pounds in the last two months. Which is nothing, really, but I have been roughly the ( Read more... )

Today was one of those awesome days that happen just once in a while. Which is not saying little, since it was the two month day of the break up. Let me see if I can get it down in words. First off my sister came home for the weekend. I broke my vegetarianism by trying sushi for the first time. I didn't like it. Or, rather, I liked the pieces with ( Read more... )

I have this new layout that gets all out of whack if someone posts a picture. Today I finally grew smart and clicked in the "placeholder" option in my viewing settings and the text no longer goes into the background and becomes unreadable. Color me very, very happy ( Read more... )

Did some running around with my mom yesterday. Spring is here and it was unusually warm out, 18 degrees (64 in Fahrenheit). I even bought her icecream. We went to get her glasses, which she has refused for years, but has finally realised she needs. I did a check on my eyes as well, and it turned out that I need new glasses. Sigh. But!

Yesterday I went for a walk through the little village type place I live in. I guess that technically it's a suburb, because it has all those typically suburban houses and stuff, but it's just houses, save a grocery store the size of a gas station, a pizza place, an elementary and a middle school and that's it. Anyway, I walked past most of the ( Read more... )

Just a couple of pics I snapped on my walk from the therapist to my grandmother's house yesterday...

Last year for St Patrick's Day we went to a bar downtown with Carmen, Melissa, Joe and some others. I don't think I had much fun, but I've been thinking about it a lot. It's hard to comprehend that I'm never going to meet any of them again. They were shitty friends - flakey as hell - but still. It's just so weird to be so abruptly taken from one ( Read more... )

My sister is working and I'm sitting here thinking about cleaning her kitchen for her. She lives with one messy roommate, but she's out lecturing somewhere this week, so Im alone here. I have the door to the balcony open and the birds are talking to me. Tomorrow we are going to see our cousin, Emma, who is a year younger than me and a year older ( Read more... )

In an hour or so I leave for Stockholm. I'm gonna visit my dearest sister and have a great time. I still haven't gotten my computer, so I'll just have to fight with her about hers. Say what you want about Americans, when they say "delivery in 3-5 days" they mean it. I ordered mine on February 28th or so, and the delivery date has been prosponed ( Read more... )
