Back again!

Okey so I am back in the states.. since like two weeks, and probably should have started this a lot earlier but you know... I was lazy and I felt like I needed a break.. haha

Let's go thorugh the basics... What have I accomplished.... I have

• had a "the bear republic red rocket" a bear with rasberry in it, sounds terrible but was very very good
• bought new underwear
• discovered that a visit to subway does make you smell like food, thanks josefin! *Sarcastic tone*
• been enduring 30 below weather (-30-40clecius) Brrrr!!!!
• Ruined my wintercoat in the wash, had to emergency buy a new one (due to the cold weather)
• Met John
• kissed John
• Killed John
• revived John
• hospitalised John
• I may be on the verge of killing him again, I don't know...:) I'll give him 'til monday.. haha
• bought my new jacket a northface one that set me back 200 dollars, awesome! or not... At least I really like it, and it keeps me warm, which I can't say would have been the case with the cheaper ones I tried on.
• started managearial accounting, and have no clue what the heck I am doing!
• Was given the wrong book for my other class so I have been completing the wrong work for a week and a half, awesome!
• Ran/walked 9 miles in 2 hours! (9 miles = 14.4 kilometer) New record!

That was a quick sum up of my two weeks back, now I will try to update here at least once a week, at least that's my goal.

Ohh... What I want to accomplish in 2009, or things I'll try to do better:

1. Don't bug Josefin about here drinking (as much)
2. Loose 50-60 pounds
3. be able to run 4 miles straight without stopping
4. Be less moody
5. Laugh more, cry less
6. Dedicate my self even more to school
7. Go to the gym minimum 4 times a week
8. Live healthier in general
9. Call my mom more often
10. Be more consistent with my blogging=)

All right that was it for now, hope everyone is well, love y'all!!

this the season to be jolly.. lalalalalala

Christmas is on its way, I don't want to believe it, it is going way to fast.... I have too much to buy and do still before I go home to Sweden... I should get going on that shouldn't I.. haha

Well my week so far has not been very interessting... Lets see... Monday I went to the gym in the morning, I had a quick dinner with Josefin, then I went home and studied, I was so good I got like half of the stuff I have due this week done all ready on monday! *proud*

Tuesday I got up in the morning studied some more hung out at home, walked up to get the kids, we walked home I was hanging out with them until Julie got home around 5pm, ohh.. and I did laundry, Isn't this all soooo interesting? haha Then I went to the gym and walked 11.3 miles which is 18 kilometer, I ran for 30 minutes straight somewhere in the middle there, that was like over 2 miles of running which is over 3 kilometer alomst 4... *proud again* It was hard and my legs and feet were hurting at the end of it, but I always feel so good afterwards, it is so rewarding. I wish i would have discovered a lot earlier that actually really really like working out, then maybe it wouldn't have got as far as it did... well It is never to late to change your life.

Today has probably been the most interessting day actually.. haha Worked in the morning got the kids up to school, deposited my check so I could pay my car loan, and of course I managed to get my self locked out out of my account, because, listen to this, I answered my saftey question wrong, the saftey question being, in what city I was born... So I guess I really am going senile, I mean if I can't even remember where I was born anymore... haha So that car payment took like over an hour to make.. but at least now it isdone.. thank god! Then I talked to anika on the phone, then Josefin and I am meeting her for lunch in about an hour and a half... Yea.. this all had happened to me and it is only 10.30 in the morning and it is snowing like hell, so driving to get Julie and get the kids of to their activities this afternoon, is just going to be jolly jolly jolly, this is the seaon to be jolly right?
I have a feeling I am just going to be laughing my self all through this one... *sarcastic*

Miss everyone so much! Kisses hugs and thoughts from across the ocean!

December is here, and with her came the first snow-storm:)

Madison has now had its first official snow-storm, here in Madison we didn't get more than 1"-2", but that's okey with me, I still have to think about shoveling my car out from underneath the crap before I leave for the gym today, which I should have done all ready but I decided to be a good girl and write my blogg first.. haha Because I would really like to update more often here, but my memory is terrible, I think I am starting to go senile now as I am nearing 30... Ouh... That sounded scary.. lets not talk about it:)

I've had a great long weekend, friday, we did dinner and a movie with some beers afterwards, I am sticking to my promisse to my self, I don't have more than 2 beers because Josefin said that if you drink under 3 it doesn't count, and I am not drinking again for a very very long time, I am not gonna say never, but a very very long time. Saturday it was just me and Josefin we did pancake cafe in the morning and then some shopping, and then we went out just her and I cause noone else was up for it, which was fine we had a good time.
Yesterday we studied and started watching friday nigt lihts, this show we bought the first season on DVD and now I am hooked we watched 5 episodes yesterday and I can't wait for the next time we have time!

That was all from me, and I am sorry this post is not in Swedish I will do a swedish one later this week, love u all!!!

Pa begaran:)

Jag har blivit ombedd att gora ett inlagg pa svenska, sa har kommer det ett:)

Anlednigen till att jag inte skriver pa svenska e for att jag inte har alla bokstaver, o arligt talat sa blir min svenska bara samre o samre for varje dag, jag kan inte stava langre, sa ni far ursakta alla stav-fel, jag vet att det ar tragiskt, men inte desto mindre sant. Jag vet heller inte langre vilka uttryck som e svenska, eller gar att oversatta till svenska, sa jag bra kastar ur mej saker och anvander fel ord, men hey, jag gor sa gott jag kan.

Det har inte hant sa mycket sen igar, hmm... Jag berattade om debbies ultraljud-party, och att mina vanner har bestamt sej for att ge mej en liten kines-bebis i fodelsedags present.. haha Vilket jag seriost hoppas e ett skamt, vilken chock jag skulle fa om de verkligen skulle racka over en liten bebbe med en rosett fast klistrad pa huvvet.. haha Vart tror ni man gar for att reklamera en bebis???

Nu i veckan har jag natt planerat varenda dag, imorn e det dags att ga 16 kilometer igen (10 miles) vilket innebar ca 3 timmar pa ga-bandet, jag tittar forst pa 2 timmar biggest loser o sen ar det Eli Stone. Anledningen till att det tar 3 timmar e att forsta 2 e jag ganska pigg sen blir det skoldpadda-tempo till Eli, for da orkar jag egentligen inte mer, det e mest for att se programmet som jag gar kvar dar, men man maste ju ga, ser dumt ut att sitta pa ga-bandet pa gymet.. haha
Onsdag e det forst skola nan timme, sen ska jag o Josefin pa konsert o titta pa Matt Nathanson.
Torsdag e varan ga ut dag, men pa torsdag kanske det blir bade ut-gang o Twilights midnatts premiar(!) Om Josefin orkar ga, hon ville inget lova...
Fredag o Lordag e fortfarande oppna, men det hander alltid nat o sen kan jag ge mej faan pa att jag kommer bli tvungen att spendera nan av helg-dagarna pluggandes. Men antingen sondag eller lordag morron blir det frukost ute, pancake cafe eller Perkins eller nat, det e tradition! (valdigt nyttig tradition, haha, som jag aldrig tanker ge upp, jag far springa nagra minuter xtra den dan... haha)

Sa det var mina planer for veckan, men som sagt veckan har precis borjat sa an kan det hinna handa grejjer... Det e min erfarenhet att det oftast blir sa har, det hander grejjer...

Puss o Kram till er alla

Saknar er!

XOXO

At Barnes & Nobles pretending to study....

Yes pretending was the word... I have been sitting here for almost 3 hours now.... Well I got all the things for my advertising class done... So now I am taking a break.. and since I am still typing, no one will notice.. haha... Well at least I can tell my self that... I know I should be taking care of the sliding avalanche of accounting homework threatening to bury me any moment... But I am just breathing... and lord knows I need to breath too:)

I have seriously neglected this blog now for a couple of weeks, I am sooo sorry but I have had no interest in computers at all this week, some days I haven't even turned it on (which by the way is usually the first thing i do in the morning...) So that's why, and now it is my great way to escape doing more homework.. haha, god my life is tough... Nah.. it's not but sometimes it is okey to feel sorry for my self!

this Friday we had a very exciting party, Debby's ultrasound party, yepp you saw right, an ultrasound party, she got the first pictures of their little baby, ohh my god it was so cute!!! It had arms, legs, and on the 3-d pics you could even see the fingers! The whole bay was only like 5-6 cm long, but all ready had all those things like a little miniature person, looking at those pictures made you think that hey maybe I want one too.. but then Josefin and I took one look at each other and went.. No... not now... But then she thought I could have one, me being the oldest and all, but you know, I am not quite ready either, that not having a husband being the main issue, and 2 years left of school.. so no.. But then she said she was going to buy me a Chinese baby for my birthday, Anika thought it was a great idea she said she'd pay for shipping and handling if Josefin paid for the baby.. hahaha So mom I guess you're gonna be a grandma! Surprise! They were gonna stick a bow on the baby's head and give it to me... So i guess I'll be a mommy soon.. who knew???

Yesterday we had "real" pizza (not the American version) on porto alba, JOsefin, Anika and I it was great, and then we hung out on Anikas couch and watched "just friends" I will never stop laughing at that movie it is so hilarious!

And and, on Tuesday I did something pretty incredible for being me, i walked and jogged 10 miles (16 kilometer) it took me about three hours and the last hour I walked really slow but the first two I mixed running with walking I can run over 2.5 miles now (3 kilometer) which is like amazing, I am feeling stronger and stronger every day. It just proves that if you set your mind to something you can do it, even if you are the laziest couch-potato in the world (aka me) you can do it, you just have to make up your mind, and I have made up my mind, no more, no more lazy fat-ass I'm done, it took me like 10 years to get there, but better late than never, right?

So I will continue my long long long grueling journey to some sort of fitness, and I wish everyone at home the best, I miss you all!

I am not lost, just undiscovered.... (my new mantra)

XOXOXOX

Jeanetty

I miss u!

I am having a "miss Sweden day" Which is actually really weird, because it is over 70 degrees (20 celcius) here today and the weather is absolutley amazing, I should just be enjoying it... But I am just feeling so far away from everyone today... But I've had those days before and I know they pass, and I will feel better really soon, but still, all my friends and family over seas are very much on my mind today, and I wanted to let you all know that I miss you, and think about you! I don't want to go home, I mean who are we kidding it is over 70 degrees here today, but I wish you all could be here to enjoy it with me today:(

well we can't have all things in life:)

Halloween was absolutley awesome!!! State street on halloween never seize to amaze me, it is absolutley incredible how this little town attract all those people, like 40.000 people in costumes walking the street, and it was warmer this year, thank god! Yeah, I wish you all back home would get to experience it, because it is special. Every holiday in this country is on steroids, haha, so believe it or not, halloween was over this weekend, now the christmas decorations are coming up.. hahaha Unbelieveable....

Otherwise there is a lot of love in the air, new couples forming, and little babies growing ( I am so excited!!!) old ones blooming, yeah when it comes to change and love, this fall has had a really good start. (ohh just for the record, I am NOT the pregnantt one.. haha) I am gonna be an Auntie, when Peter and debbys baby is born, our little bumble bee. ( I am in neither of the couples either, just to let you know haha)

So that was all for now, all I have left to say is go Obama, let's send a prayer he wins (I don't usually pray, and if you don't either this is the time to start...) I really hope the american people surprise me and pick the good candidate for once... Obama, you have my vote even though it does not count...

Like I said I miss you all so much, kisses and hugs!!
