It's New Years Eve Eve and I'm home doing laundry. People are already shooting off fireworks and I'm glad that I'm indoors right now. Fireworks are nice to look at but don't count on me being the one lighting them off. Not my thing.I did some grocery shopping, along with half of Vejle and it was hell. Amazing - the stores are closed only Monday but still everyone seems to go nuts. Huge shopping carts with everything and anything. Luckily we only had to get the last items for NYE and having a prepared list helped. It actually took us longer to get...

I don't really have much to say today. I actually went to bed last night at a decent hour and dragged myself out of bed today slightly early so I could get some things done. Stores are open and it's back to the normal, everyday routine again. I have some errands to run, a shirt to exchange (one of my Christmas presents doesn't fit) and some food to buy. Nothing all that interesting but it'll be nice to get outside and breathe some fresh air.I have...

Hey Everyone! Here are some pictures of my family in Norup - we all gathered for some food (not like any of us was starving!) and a good time. This is the end of all the Christmas lunches and gatherings, I think everything will be normal again tomorrow - back to reality. Karin got a GPS for Christmas and they were having problems getting it to work properly. I wonder if Anders was able to help them?Karin and Ernst - my aunt and uncle. Ernst is wearing...

MERRY CHRISTMAS! I had a really good Christmas and I hope everyone else did too. I spent Christmas with Anders and his parents and brothers as I have done the past few years. It was nice and quiet - very relaxing and fun. We always see the Disney Christmas Show on tv before we eat. It's kinda funny, I remember seeing that "movie" when I was younger because my parents had it on video.We had a really good meal - duck with all that good stuff. We had...

Merry Christmas to everyone! It's Christmas Day and I just got home from eating more food and just relaxing with Anders and his parents. I have some quiet time right now so I thought I would update my blog with some pictures from the past week.Dec. 15th, we had a Christmas party at the youth club. My friend Lise came with me and helped Karin, Jesper and I work. Not a lot of kids came this time but it was still fun all the same. Karin looks pretty...

I'm all alone and I'm loving it! It's Friday night and I'm being a loner. After the last couple of weeks of constantly having something to do every day and every evening, I have decided to just stay home tonight. Alone. All by myself. Me, myself and I. Get the picture?After spending the day doing absolutely nothing, I guess I should get some things done here at home. My apartment looks like total shit and is in desperate need of a good clean. Loud music helps the cleaning process and since it's Friday and many others are also playing loud music,...

I'm still alive. I'm still working on my paper but luckily I'm almost done. No stress and no worries. Tomorrow, when I hand the sucker in, I will be able to relax.... at least for one day because I need to start working on my next exam. Tomorrow is goodbye Cinderella and Fairy Tales, hello to Origin and evolution of language. Two completely different subjects.Yes, I'm babbling. My brain has turned into mush. My sleeping patterns have been shot to hell and I can't wait until this paper is done. Christmas? What Christmas? To be honest, after I bought...

It's late here and I'm wide awake. Well, that is on purpose. I'm working on my paper and yes, I'm doing it in the middle of the night. I'm not stressed out yet, I just like to work late at night. I like the quiet. The only sounds I hear are my upstairs neighbours thumping around (I think they're nightowls too) and the odd sirens of ambulances passing my window.I decided to take a short break from my paper and update my blog. I haven't being really...

I brought my camera with me to work tonight and took a couple of pictures. It'll take some time before I get to know which settings are best but here are some of the first shots!I love my new toy! Karin is hard at work.Say CHEESE! Karin is hanging up some Christmas decorations. Tee hee, EVIL Karin (with a santa hat on!) We're just goofing around. Now she's just being silly! Some of the girls at the club, including my cousin's oldest daughter (the...

yes, I'm enjoying a very nice cup of coffee while I'm listening to loud music and writing here. When I was home during the summer, my mom gave me one of her starbucks coffee mugs with a lid - reminds me of home whenever I use it. We don't have starbucks here yet...It's been a quiet weekend so far. I took the girls shopping for Christmas presents - since these girls live in a very small town with no real opportunities to buy their Christmas presents without having their parents drive them around, I decided it would be a good thing to arrange a trip...

Ok, I slept in today. I was bad. I wasn't supposed to do that.Here's a crazy story from what happened at the club recently. Thursday night, Karin and I were working at the club and kids were doing their usual thing but we noticed that two of our regulars hadn't come back like they usually do. I was told the story of what actually happened Thursday night when I was working last night... The police were driving around Thursday night because TJ had "borrowed" his dad's tractor and was driving around like a maniac on the main road. (Half of these kids...

Hey Everyone, Yes, it's Saturday night and I stayed home today. When I woke up this morning, I wasn't feeling good at all and then went back to sleep. Again, woke up not feeling 100% so I decided to call my friend Tine and tell her that I'm not coming to the party tonight. I puttered around here at home for a while and then watched some tv. For the first time, I actually fell asleep while the tv was on! (I never do that - I can NOT sleep when the tv is on!) I woke up for the third time and luckily this time I was feeling better. But by then, the...

I took a group of teenagers skating last weekend - mainly girls from my "girlgroup". I'm sure glad my cousin Jesper and his girlfriend Vibeke came with me because I don't think I could have "handled" 21 kids on my own! They were so hyper and I think they ate too much sugar! Holy crap, I was tired afterwards but it went really well. We took tonnes of pictures and here are a couple of shots so you guys can all see we had fun! I did go skating but not...
