Givskud Zoo

Givskud Zoo - Anders and I wanted to do something outside yesterday so we decided to drive out to the zoo. It's more of an outdoor zoo but the weather was gorgeous and we had lots of fun. Rie and Water Buffalo The flamingos starting fighting with each other - looked hilarious! The bison are huge - bigger than Anders' car. For most of the other animals, except the lions, we could easily have our windows down while driving in the "safari" but these...

Yesterday was super nice and it feels like summer so I hope today will be just as good!Here are some...

I feel so old....

...because I'm still so tired.It was a rough week and I'm exhausted. Friday after work at JB, Lise and I had to work at the youth party here in Vejle until almost 1am. Not that many kids came - only 101 - so it was a long night but still fun. Saturday during the day, I needed to get some stuff done here at home before Anders came over. I haven't seen much of him all last week so it was super nice being able to spend some time with him. After having some alone time, Anders and I went over to Thomas and Claudia's for dinner - she's a great cook!...

random pictures for the fun of it

I went to the gym yesterday. And then I went to the grocery store and only got healthy food. Wow, I must not be feeling well. Christa and I have decided to start training together and we started yesterday at her gym. She was training before but fell off the training wagon when she went on vacation in Thailand a month ago so now we're getting our shit together. We decided that the extra exercise would be good for us and Lise will probably be joining...

I love Sundays!

It used to be Mondays that I liked to call "Rie Day" but after getting a full-time job, my "Rie Day" has been moved to Sundays.Yesterday was pretty fun. I met up with Tine for brunch and after we ate too much, we went to see Thaiboxing and to cheer on some local boys fighting in the Danish Championship. Thomas is one of my good friends so of course we had to be there! Unfortunately, he got knocked out in his first match in the second round because...

Yay vacation!

I am now officially on Easter break! I enjoyed my first full day off work - all the jobs! - and had a great day yesterday. (Lille) Lise came over during the day and helped me rearrange my bedroom and then we just talked and painted.... She's an artsy type person too so we had a good day. Christa came over later on in the afternoon after Lise went home and we ended up talking all evening - and spending some money on an impulse drive to Bilka (Bilka is a large department/grocery store in Vejle).Everything is good here - the sun in shining, I have...

I missed my skype night!

I usually chat with my parents and little brother Sunday evenings but I logged on Skype way too late and they were all gone - bummer! Totally my fault and I couldn't even call them because I left my calling card at home.Anders and I spent the afternoon enjoying the great spring weather (which is why I didn't notice what time it was). We went for a nice long walk, a drive to get some pizza and then for coffee at the local cafe with his parents. It was all kinda spontaneous things to do and it was a great afternoon/evening.Work Monday and Tuesday...
