The Zoe-ster

Had a huge scare yesterday when Zoe got some form of indigestion.  Spent half the evening waiting for her to poop.  Constipation is one of the leading causes of death in rabbits.  Sounds awful but it's true and we love Zoe so much, we were genuinely concerned.

Woke up this morning (after a suuuper weird dream) to Jenny going "SHE POOPED!"
Probably one of my more relieved moments in life.

We've been relaxing lately.  Christmas was nice but now we've got to y'know...take it easy.  We cleaned the house a bit today and finished a puzzle that we received from my uncle i julklapp.  Then we went to Chili's.  Omg.  Soooo goood.  Chili's is definitely one of my top 3 favorite restaurants ever.  Unfortunately, they've redone their menu so my favorite meal (Cajun Chicken Alfredo with Fettucini) has been replaced with Cajun Pasta (with Penne).  Not as good.  I ended up getting the Country Fried Steak with mashed potatoes and corn on the cob.  Looks exactly like this: (webphoto)

Super good ;)

That Was Christmas.

 

The day before Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve

(First snow on Christmas Eve in Dallas ever recorded)

Haha me and my brother used toothpicks and mini-marshmellows over a candle

It was a miniature campfire :P

Omg I'm so grateful.  My family knows me too well.  3 CDs (all that I've been dying to buy but havent had the funds to do), a new battery for my laptop, new earphones, and gloves since the stupid cheap ones i bought in stockholm already broke.  The purse and clothes were from my mom :D

Haha and then 500:- for next summer when my sister comes to visit.

I think this was the most presents i've ever gotten for christmas :P

But as great as all of those were, I think the white christmas was the best gift of them all.

Of course, we do live in Texas so it was gone around 2pm the next day.  But just that it snowed was so amazing.

I hope everyone else had a fantastic christmas as well and hopefully New Year's Eve will be loads of fun as well ;)

I should start planning.  I'm really interested in going to the Big D NYE thing.

Suuuuper interested.

I mean, hockey, live music, food, fireworks.

That sounds pretty fan-freakin-tastic.

Being home has made me reconsider (yet again) where I'm going to be next year.  Laos, Kenya, Umeå, Dallas?

So This Is Christmas

Yesterday we went christmas food shopping and just relaxed.
After lunch my mom told us to go to the park so we shrugged and grabbed our bikes.  We went to the big park and brought some old bread to feed the ducks at the big duck pond/lake.  when we got there, there were asmycket seagulls.  They're funny.

Anyways, I wore a t-shirt and some sweats.  When we got there it was just...hot.  i mean i was almost sweating.  i had to roll up my pant legs.  so we fed the ducks and then biked around the creek before finally sitting on the swings.  so many children out cause the weather was so fantastic.  cute though.  then i just lay down in the huge field in the sun.  im gonna miss you mister sun.

So I come home and i feel the water in the backyard and then run to find a swimsuit to borrow.  Basically on the count of three (after 2 tries) i leaped into the 11 degree (C) pool.  I was in for a total of 2 seconds before i dragged myself out, almost screaming.  Coooold.  My dad decided to film me jumping in a second time on his new iPhone.  fun stuff.  then he took a picture of me and sent it to my grandparents.  Greeeat.

So that was all fun, but then this morning i wake up and its super cold.  SUPER cold.  in texan standards.  2 degrees.  and raining, but its so cold that its more like sleeting.  right now its still sleeting and we're making/fixing a pepparkakahus :P

Christmas Eve celebrations will start in a couple of hours.  right now we're about to start cooking.  and i gotta showerrr.

so i'll get back to you guys ;)

Oh my goodness

Everything at home has been so utterly amazing.

thursday i was out at the mall with some friends.

ive noticed shoes have become more and more colorful.

but im not complaining, i like them :)

the standard "take a picture of you on santas knee and we'll overcharge you for a copy to send to your friends and relatives" exhibit at collin creek mall

JENNIE LOOK WHAT I FOUND AT HOT TOPIC (its a store)

I WAS SO TEMPTED TO BUY IT.

but i think i can probably find a better one...

haha outside target after a fun walkaround.

pretty sky.

The party at Aivy's on friday was fun.  Lots of giggling but I kind of wore out around like 11pm.  But I stayed up to 2.30am nonetheless and then put up with Melody and Tori making fun of me in my sleep for another 2 hours and finally woke up to two having already left and a very hungry Aivy :P

We went to Wendy's for brunch and then I went home.  Went to the park with my brother and played soccer, football, and basketball for like 2 hours. does that count as action?  i think im going to count it anyways.

Oh my goodness.  I can count paintball for 4 hours on Sunday as well.  I love paintball.  I got bruises but it was so much fun.  Apparently theres a paintball course in Stocksjö or something that I've decided we must all go to in the spring/summer.  Fort Paintball is pretty neat.  We only played on the fields with the fort, barrels, and alien legos (I think thats what its called).  Haha i didnt get shot often but i would get shot like 4 times at once.  and then i got shot in the butt as we were walking past another field with different teams playing.  thanks guys.

Sunday night was a reunion of a very very old family friend who we havent seen in about 2 years.  great fun.

Monday was shopping and today was shopping.
Today was followed by a sudden phone call from Alexis asking to see Paranormal Activity.  Jesus its creepy.  It's not scary, just creepy.  Or...the end is fairly scary.  I'm not sure.  Hard to explain.  You have to see it.  It's definitely worth it :P  But then again, it was 75 cent Tuesday at the dollar theater so we payed like nothing to see it.  had some fun with the guys who worked at the counter :P ("um...what is the address of this establishment?" followed by them laughing and going to ask other people cause no one actually knew.)  had frozen granitas at Java & Cha and played Guess Who?

we then went to hayleys house where we proceeded to film our own version of paranormal activity, soon to be out on youtube :D haha we'll see how that goes.  its only like a couple of scenes but we were laughing soooo hard..

Christmas feelings :)

At my godmothers house now :)
It's snowing a lot right now.  Så jävlar typisk att det skulle snöa dagen innan jag far.
Hmpf.
Watched Flickan Som Lekte Med Elden today.  Asbra! Cadaver cool!
Ate tacos at my godmothers sons house.
It's been busy but calm at the same time.
Relaxed.
It's been a lovely day.
