pretty much just america so far

THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE POSTED ON CHRISTMAS EVE, HOWEVER I HAD THE CRAPPIEST INTERNET CONNECTION IN THE WORLD IN LAMAR

OKAY SO. LET’S JUST GET THIS STRAIGHT NOW SHALL WE

x saturday: flew to the us

x sunday: woke up at 4:30, did stuff with family, went to boulder with avalon, went to reilly's dad’s house, spent night with avalon and reilly

x monday: went to sarah’s house for some hours, went to wal-mart and target, boston market for lunch where i spilled sweet potatoes all over the floor and it was gross but i got new ones for free so whatever, went to qdoba for lunch, went back to hotel

i really didn’t take any pictures that day besides pictures of sarah’s house since it was my last time there, and these neon fish at wal-mart.

 

those are some pretty exciting fish.

i didn’t get any pictures of sarah and i ): sad D:

x tuesday: woke up somewhat early, got ready to go and left hotel, ate hotel breakfast (cinnamon toast crunch <33), drove to pueblo shopping center and met grandparents and uncle, shopped a looot, got a ton of crap for christmas :D, ate coldstone :D, slept in the car, went to buffalo wild wings for dinner, went to grandparents new house and got settled and slept

so i DO have pictures from that day. first of all here we’ve got emily and i being awesome in the car.

i sort of love that first picture.

then we had swedish fish, which amusingly are made in canada and have nothing to do with sweden whatsoever i can assure you. they do have fish candy somewhat similar to these in the l’o’ssgodis (was creative in making my swedish characters…), but they don’t taste the same at all. swedish fish are not swedish. the american view of what’s “swedish” often does tend to make me lol. but that’s irrelevant.

swedish fish are amazing, though.

and this is emily being seductive with a swedish fish…

 

and this is my mom being seductive with a swedish fish.

this is from buffalo wild wings… as made obvious by the buffalos displayed on our cups.

one of many stores we shopped at…

one of my favourite stores. :3 though you have to look for a long time to find something actually really good there.

and then we went tooooo…

<33333

   

cake batter ice cream with cookie dough, ftw. <3

my grandparents and my mom. and the above one is of course emily.

x wednesday: woke up, went to my dad’s parents’ house for lunch and stuff, saw woody <3, had mexican for dinner, met a swedish and a german exchange student; both of which live next door to my grandma, hung out and went to bed.

so basically the only pictures that matter here are pictures of reuniting with our dog. <3

XD

 

<3

and then we’ve got these random ones.

 

iced tea <3 the only iced tea i’ve found in europe was in the netherlands, and it was sweetened which is already frickin disgusting enough but then it was CARBONATED. WHY.

 

yep emily’s awesome.

it looks disgusting in the picture. it’s not. americanized mexican food = <3

and umm, i might just add that that’s only half an order. my mom and i split. i’m sure it’s easy to see why. when i say america has large portions, i mean america has large portions.

DINOSAUR FRUIT SNACKS <3 :D

x thursday (today) (CHRISTMAS EVE <3): so today everyone in sweden celebrated christmas. not us. because we are american and do not celebrate christmas a day early. that makes little sense to me.

but anyway, we woke up, went to rancher’s for breakfast and had frickin amazing sweet rolls that were probably literally 1000 calories each but i split one with my mom so at least that helps but gawd they’re so good omgg, and then we mostly spent the day with my dad’s parents cause today was sort of like. christmas #1. the one we spend with them. and we opened presents and stuff and it was fabulous. here. have some today.

this picture’s just frickin awesome.

my ornament on my mom’s parents’ tree :D it’s existed pretty much as long as i have

UNCRUSTABLES <3 yes, i know, packaged peanut butter and jelly sandwiches sound disgusting. they’re not.

have you noticed that a lot of this tends to center around food? that’s what the us is like. we’re just getting everything while we can. and trying to be at least somewhat active in the meantime XD

I NEED MY HAIR TRIMMED. LOOK HOW LONG MY FRINGE IS. IT’S RIDICULOUS. AND I HAVE SPLIT ENDS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, AS WELL. RAAAAAAH

but i’m growing my hair oooout D:

a pretty frickin awesome hat.

AND THUS BEGINS CHRISTMAS #1

my dad records everything, always.

woody with his unopened presents from my grandparents :D

woody with his open presents X3

                

these aren’t all of the presents i got but they’re all the purple ones. my grandma followed a colour scheme this year based on what we said our favourite colour was, which was extremely awesome and creative, and so now i have a bunch of purple stuff :D yay ^^

this was extremely long. i apologize for that. a long read. i doubt you read it all, whoever you are.

who ARE you? not a lot of people read my blog. so if you do, i appreciate it. :3 hello, whoever you are, reading my blog. ^^

yes well that took forever. i’m sure you can see why. i hope it’s not too boring or anything. D:

byeeeee <333 MERRY CHRISTMAS :D

I’M IN AMERICAAA. Day 1/2 and 1.

AND IT’S REALLY FREAKING WEIRD.

i mean, it’s not as surreal as it’s been, but it’s still just. I DON’T FIT IN HERE ANYMORE. I AM TOO MUCH OF A SWEDE.

and i have SUCH jetlag. from flying yesterday.

we got in here yesterday at like 5:something and got our rental car. the bus to the rental car place, look. the manager on duty.

tim burton. amazing, right?

and we listened to 93.3 <3333

and then we ate at sonic :3

 

i got a wacky pack :D

 

with a grilled cheese,

tots,

 

and a cherry dr. pepper :D

it was amazing on so many levels.

and then we went to the hotel, which was nice, and fell asleep at EIGHT PM. before that, even. it was craaazy. and then all four of us woke up in the morning at like 4:30 am, naturally, so we all just got up and got ready XD it was so freaking awesome. and then after we got ready and left and stuff we went and ate breakfast at cracker barrel,

 

and i got oatmeal and a muffin there

and it was fun, but omggg it’s so DIFFERENT here because like. in sweden, they really let you take your time eating. they don’t bring you your ticket for a VERY long time; in fact, you often have to ask for it. bringing it early would actually be considered rude, because it’s almost like asking you to leave the restaurant, or something. here, no. not so much. we had been eating our food for literally less than ten minutes when the waitress (who i might add was ridiculously overly friendly) came back asking if we wanted a BOX for the food we hadn’t yet eaten, and BRINGING US OUR TICKET. not even TEN MINUTES. it was SO funny, the mentality is just so different here.

just to indicate how beautiful the views out the win       dows driving through colorado are, in this area, and many other areas actually:

at least the mountains are pretty. i’ll give colorado that much credit.

and then we went to suburbiaaaa! :D the neighborhood i used to live in.

i have no idea where these pictures went, but i had a picture of my house, and also a picture of a sign that said something was “coming fall 2007.” those photos are gone. :(

now i am with aaavalon and reillyyyy :D

 

  

avalon and i went to boulder <3 we went to pearl street with her mom and sister and looked in shops and got falafel. and also went to world market, which is an international store. it was fuuuun. and then later we went to reilly’s dad’s house for a while, and then i came back with avalon to her house and then i went and bought THE FREAKING BEST LAPTOP IN THE WORLD <333333333

i’m using it right now. it’s incredible. honestly, i’m in love.

and this is avalon’s freaking, freaking creepy furby with all the fur taken off.

it is THE scariest thing EVER.

4 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS <3
