Just another manic monday...

I was just thinking of the day and that song popped in my head.

Anyway, I have decided against posting a blog about New York. It was so long ago and it feels almost pointless. Unless there is someone who DEMANDS to see a post about it, I'm tossing it in the trash.

I also apologize for the layout. It's a little bright and I keep tweaking it but it is not making me happy. I will eventually figure out a good layout, but for now, please bear with me!

I do have a blog post coming up in the next couple of days about Shopping Night last Thursday. I am not 100% sure if I should post it in Swedish or English. I will not post it in both, so I have to make a decision, but I am excited to share the post with you all!

That's all the "major news" I guess.

Today was pretty alright, even though I only slept 2 hours last night. I got up, went to a meeting with my "handläggare" (not really sure what that term is in English, if we even have one!) and talked a lot about my future in working. It was quite a positive meeting, so I am pleased.

After that, I went to a couple of food stores. I was planning to just go to one, but knowing I was walking past another one that usually has some interesting food in it, I had to stop in. I could have spent all my money in that store, truthfully, but I only came out with 4 things. I am so proud. I found super inexpensive processed peanut butter, which is hard to find here, and with my mild peanut allergy, it's all I can have. Then I found shake and pour pancake mix! I was quite thrilled, and it was only 8kr/$1 so I could not resist. I usually just make pancakes from scratch but I figured I wanted to test the brand and sometimes I am too lazy to mix ingredients, so it was a good thing to have in the house. OH! And then I found these:

There were a few kinds, but I picked up this one and a jasmine rice bag. Both were 10kr a piece (Just over $1) so once again, a steal! I used to attack microwaveable rice in the US like this all the time, so I only hope they taste good!

After that, I went to the other store and I found:

SRIRACHA! I have seriously never seen it here before, so that was exciting. That said, I left the store without it. It was a huge bottle and I don't eat sriracha on everything like most people so I wasn't sure it was worth it. But it's awesome to know we have it here!

The only other cool stuff I found today was new ice cream:

Cookie Dough and:

Kladdkaka! (Directly translated, sticky cake haha. It's basically undercooked brownie :p)

Akira and I are so excited to try them! I am not a huge chocolate fan but I hope that the kladdkaka ice cream is really delicious!

The rest of my night shouldn't be too exciting. Cleaning, cooking dinner and Netflix, which is basically a normal day for me :)

It's been awhile!

Wow, I have not updated my blog since before we travelled to the USA last summer! :O I think it's about time that I start updating around here again.

Let me do a mini-update of what has happened since I last wrote:

We went to New York and had an amazing 3 weeks with my family. I bought a lot of stuff and I never shared that here, so hopefully I will post that up before the weekend!

I came back and tried out to be an instructor at my gym. My nerves got the best of me and they didn't accept me but I am willing to give it another shot next time they hold an audition!

Back in November, I started an education class in the hospitality branch of work. My classes end on Friday! I did a paid internship for 6 weeks at a bakery here in town. It was the first place I have worked at that I was truly upset about leaving. I know I have definitely found my calling....I just need to find a job in that branch now!

A couple weeks ago I took my first trip to Stockholm, even though I have lived here for 4 years. We originally went to see the Game of Thrones Exhibition, but waiting on a line to "maybe" get in for 7 hours was not worth it, so Akira, his mom, his sister and I walked around Stockholm instead. I think we made the right decision!

I actually have no idea what else "important" has happened since then haha. I spend most of my time at the gym or at home with Netflix and/or TiVo :X

I need to make a new layout for this blog as well. I want it to look really clean and pretty and eyecatching. Right now, the background is just....bleh.

But this is just a quick journal to say I am coming back and hopefully posting a lot more now!
