Spring Break

Ok... So today Spring break began:)

I am unfortunately not in school anymore... So no break for me.

6 of my friends are going down to Miami tomorrow morning, and I am really jealos. Luckily I will be there next Friday for the weekend. Bed time not... 11:30pm... Have to get up at 5:45am... And my computer is out of batteries... dying in two minutes.

//Love Linda:)

Homesick...

I've been busy lately... and not online much. The reason is because I am home sick.

Miss my family, my friends, my nieces... everything.

I like it here too thou... But the last couple of days...

And it didn't make it much better when my mum just called saying I have to email some guy and tell him I am coming back to Sweden. They have som investigation about me not being a Swedish citizen anymore... GREAT!!!

I guess I'll email him right now... I suck at writing in swedish not too... I mix the two languages.


Tuesday so far...

I woke up early this morning (around 7am) and could not fall back asleep. Since Adam was already up hitting and throwing, I decided to go to the gym at 7:30. I met Adam there and I got a good work out. Then we went back home, had a great breakfast and watched a movie.

Now I am sitting outside trying to tan, but the sun is covered behind the clouds. Maybe some shines will go through?:)

Lets hope...


Productive!!!!

I had yesterday off, and I was really productive!

-Ran the lake
-Cleaned my room
-Checked the oil on my car
-Washed my car
-Worked out in the gym
-Had a great lunch at Gosh with Adam
-Watched couples retreat (didn't really like it that much)
-Organized my papers
-Had seafood dinner with my roomates
-Watched intermural basketball

And my day was just great overall. It was a good day. Lunch at Gosh was amazing!!!

I had a "lunch special box" for nine dollars. It was a soup, salad, chicken teryaki, sushi, and fruit. A lot of food for not much money. It tasted amazing too. And I can have some for lunch today. Perfect!!!


Updates from Valentine's day!

I have been a little behind with this update. But after some questions about it, here it is.

I was working during the day, and was really really tired when I got home. Work was nice and let me go home about 2 hours early... So it took a nap over at Adam's. It was funny to be at work... Because that's where me and Adam spent Valentine's together last year. It was amazing!!! When I woke up, I went back to my hosue to shower and get ready.

As I already told you, he gave me those Tom' shoes that i LOVE!!

We both got ready and then went to Celebration. Celebration is like a little suburb to Orlando I guess you could say?

We went to Seito's and it was really really good. I loved the athmosphere and the food. Everything was perfect!!

Then when we got home... We watched some criminal minds before we went to bed.

I had a great Valentines day. Thank you Adam!!

 


Not Everyone Likes Valentine's

More snow...

My dad looks like a tiny man... And he actually is.

And my favourite room (the glass room) looks so cool!!

I wish I could play in the snow...


Hookah Palace

There is a new bar in Lakeland, Hookah Bar... It's really nice. I am not a big fan of smoking, but I had a great time and really like this new place.


Martina, Jackie, Crooks, Therese, me and Julia. And Adam came by later too. This is great... And perfect if you want to do something but no go out out. And they had GREAT Martini's for only $5 I think? I both college nights and girls nights.... And I can kind of go under both:)


winter wonder land

I like snow... And the ONLY winter I haven't been home... There is more snow than ever.

My lovely mother sent me some pictures of our house today... And there sure is snow!!!


My mum look soooo little. Makes me miss home:)


Ballin'

We had a night before Valentine's where we wanted to do something, but still not be too tired. So we went bowling!  Me, Sara, Jeff, Hanna, Jordan, Therese, Crooks, Jackie, Martina, and Caitlin.

Hooters

Sometimes I am a little slow with my updates. I forgot about these pictures...

The last night before the Swedes left we went to Hooters. For you Swedes that does not know what hooters is, it's like a wing house where the girl working have very interesting outfits. I think they have worn the same outfit since it started in the 80s or something...

But the food and compnay was good so we had a good time!!

Of course I had chicken/buffalo wings...


Therese, Steph and me


Global warming!?!

It is so fricking freezing here..! I know it is cold in Sweden, but here too. Florida!! It's suppose to be warm. It 50' on a good day (like 15'C). But at night it goes to like 32F/0C. That's too cold...

Why are people talking about global warming? I would like to talk about global freezing... So now I'm gonna make myself some tea and cuddle up next to Adam!!

Have a great night!!


Yes, two golds to Sweden!!! So far..

... Also a lot of non-medals... But it's ok. Watching hockey now with Adam. Olympic times makes me miss my family, especially my dad. We always watch this together! Saknar dig pappa:)

But keep going Sweden, I get extra patriotic over here:)

 

Ferry and Kalla... Great Job!!


Tom's shoes

Today at school, the founder of Tom's shoes was at our convocation. I didn't hear his speech, but it was suppose to be really good. His story is amazing, and the people there said that he was great. My roommate also had an interview with him.

I have Tom's shoes now, not just one pair... TWO!! Remember how I wrote earlier about my size issue? Somehow it worked out really well.

My wonderful boyfriend gave me a pair for Valentine's day. He gave me ash and size 5. I love them... regular and easy to wear... all the time.

I also got my glitter ones in size 6,5... and I'm gonna keep them too. So somehow I am having a pair of size 5, and one pair of size 6,5... Like swedish size 35 and 37.

I love both of them, but haven't really worn my black glitter ones yet. I don't know to what and when:)

Thank you Adam for those lovely shoes!!!



Techniqual issues

Alright... It's been "difficult" to update the blog the last couple of days...

I will come back later today

<3

Thursday=College night

Interesting night... Hanna's boyfriend was amazing... Him and Hanna entertained us for a while:)  The Chinese woman called me undercovered cop so she doesn't like me...  And of course I felt like shit the day after... Like usual:)

Lovely talk with some of my friends too. You are amazing!!!

Swedes in a visit

Today is a sad day... Our two Swedish visitors left yesterday. Therese had two of her sweet friends here with us on vacation. Unfortunately for them it was freezing, but I hope and think that they had a good time anyway. Here is some pictures from one of our nights out...

My boyfrined is cheating on me... with one of my best friends... But they said they're just good friends. So... ok:) They are both very very cute in this picture!!! Love you:P


"Girls" night out

Last Saturday, we all decided to go out. I was trying to take it easy since I had to work the day after. It was a lot of fun thou, and we had a great time. Sometimes I miss home a lot, but I have no idea how I'm gonna survive without these people over here. It's like a family!!


Me and Caitlin


My outfit for the night


Time for a shot

Kristen did not want any:)

Three cute girls

I love these girls... My rommates and I


What is this?!

Legend

I made it back home

Interesting and fun night is the way to sum it up


Trip to Tampa

Here is some pictures from when we went to Tampa for Hanna's birthday. We stayed at a hotel just outside of Ybor. Ybor is a cool place, but make sure you don't get lost becuase some blocks are not the nicest.

The palce we went to was really nice. Four floors with different types on music. The VIP room (which was kind of just to walk in I guess) was really nice.

It was fun, and Jackie is such a sweethart... And Martina made my night (more morning actually) with ger comments. When we walked home she was molesting the police officier, trying to scare some wierd guy by sneaking up behind him, and also trying to flirt with a gay couple. This was a lot lot lot of fun!!!:)




Erin Sneeds

Me and Princess


Me, Kara and Lexie



Haha... what an ugly picture! You're cute thou Johnna:) My boob (one) is playing it's own life... and we're all shiny from the humidity (?) but it's fine


Cuddle

This morning it was hard to get up. I was sooo comfortable in my bed.

It was cold outside of the comfortable, and really nice and warm as longas no air from the outside could reach in.

But after 6 times of snoozing, I had to get up.

It was even harder when two amazing eyes looked up at me in the dark and said "I love you"...

It was hard to leave, but I made it in time to work, even though I braided my hair in the car...

So great start of the day and hopefully the whole day will continue the same... for both you and me!


My Disney Trip

We had a greeeeeat day. And looong. I was so tired Saturday night so I just passed out (at 2:30am).

Our day:
7:15am           Got up and got ready to go to Disney
8:20am           Left to go to Disney
9:00am           Walked in to Animal Kingdom
12:30pm         Entered Hollywood Studios
17:00pm          Walked in to Magic Kingdom
19:30pm          Entered Epcot
22:00pm         Left Epcot to go home

We went to ALL four parks... And my calfs are sore today. It was a lot of fun thou, and I really felt like a tourist (which I guess I still am:). Magic Kingdom was a little too crowded when we got there, so we did stay very long. We went on a lot of rides, and ate good food, and had a erally good time.

I am not really a big fan of rides, but these are just too much fun. And I like the Safari and the 3D shows too. I actually like everything. Here are some of favorite things...

  
Fun! This one is so cool. It start out so fast... and I really like the music to it. This one is probably my favorite of all of them!!  

I don't know why I went on this one. It goes up and down... and my legs just move by themselves. My bag ended up in my lap too... Wierd:)


I liked Mount Everst a lot. You go backwards too. It's fun!


I really erally like the 3D shows. We went to Mickey's and "It's tough to be a bug". You know these ones when it feel like you're gonna get hit, and you get wet if someone sneeze, it smells if they cook and so on. I like them...


Valentine's Day...

What should I do for my Adam on Valentine's Day? I am out of ideas... and time:)

Any suggestions? This is what I feel like right now... Out of ideas:) But still happy!!!:)


I think the right team won!

Before Super Bowl, I read an article from the Swedish newpaper Aftonbladet's reporter Petter Westin. After reading that article, I had picked my team. I think it is always mroe fun to watch a game if you have one team in favor. So now after reading this article, the Saints was my pick!

(Long reading, but I found it interesting)

This is why:

-Saints quarterback Drew Brees got hurt in his last game with the Chargers so therefor a sholder injury that kept him from a million dollar contract.

-Of course... the Hurricane Katarina destroyed the city in 2005. And I somehow feel for the people. People evacuate to the Superdome arena and the football team is then already part of the disaster.

-The team has to play it's homegames "away" now in San Antonio. The team lose 13 of its 16 games this season...
-The owner/manager Tom Benson put himself in a bad situation when he wants to move the team to another city. Due to this, the fans strongly dislikes him. This might seem dumb, but after Katarina the football team was something that the people could gather around and also brought jobs to the citizens.

-In March 2006, recently signed headcoach for the Saints, Sean Payton, has two very important visitors in his car... These passangers are Drew Brees and his wife Brittany. Coach Payton is suppose to drive them around dfferent potential areas where they can live, but Coach Payton accidentaly takes the wrong exit off of I-10. Instead of entering the really nice neighborhood, they now ended up in the one of the most destroyed areas of New Orleans. Coach Payton's heart is beating like never before and he thought that he ruined his changes of this quarterback that he really needed. But the affect is the opposite... Mr Brees sees how there are trailors half inside peoples livingroom, cars on the roofs, and upside down cars laying in the backyards. This view maked Drew Brees feel for the people and with his limited amont of choices due to his sholder injury, the team he signs for is the Saints.

-Before the age of 30, Rita Benson LeBlanc (the grand daughter of the not so popular Tom Benson) makes a dramatic change for the team. She lowers the price of the lowprice tickets, and higher the price of the expensive ones. In 2006/2007, the Saints sell out all their seats for every game.. But moer important... The fans and people now feel trust for the management group again. Rita also is a great person in the media aspect. With Rita now in the team, there are not as many conflicts (between caoch and players, players and players, coach and management, management and people and so on...)

-The season of 2006, the people was really with their team. "I have never heard such a loud crowd ever before" says Michael Vick, quarterback for the falcons.  Superdome is now rebuild and the team wins it's firts game 23-3 with Drew Brees playing a great game.

-In the semifinal, the team can win if the kicker will score a field goal. "Just try to picture a fluer-de-lis (the symbol of the Saints) between the posts and just hit that". This is what Coach Payton tells his kicker Garret Hartley just before they can see the ball sailing between the two posts.

-People like these mentioned above have been important for the team, the people, and espeically for the rebuilding of the city after Katrina.

Therefore... I cheer for this team!!!!

When I got home the Saints were losing, but then they turn around and won. Yes!:) And for you non-american. SuperBowl is probably like if Sweden were playing the world cup final in soccer... EVERYONE is watching. Most people have all day parties too...



Super Bowl

Tonight Ijust watched Super Bowl after work... I will update about the game, but even more about my Disney trip tomorrow. Now it is time for bed... Early work tomorrow.

Good night all my sweet readers!!

Trip tomorrow

Tomorrow we are going to Disney world...



A friend from work gave me a great deal... So I am going with some of my friends. Hopefully the weather will be good and we will havea great time. I'll let you know...


Baseball

Adam is gone all weekend playing Baseball down in Miami. I can not find the live stats, but the game should be over soon so I can now how it went.

First game this year was a win...

Time for me to clean up my room a little now...



Victoria's Secret...

Ok... So here is what happened...

Have you ever heard of Victoria's Secret's Miracle Bra? I had... But when I saw it on one of my friends... (who by the way is super cute, lovely, weight like 50 pounds, and not the biggest boobs in the world). When she had this bra on... It looked like she had big boobs? And not even unnatural! I wish I could show a picture but that would be a little wierd!:)

So when I was there the other day, of course I had to try one on. Oh geeez... My boobs looked like Pamerla Anderson:) I personally don't really like it... But it was wierd. I took a picture, but of course I can't really post it here on my blog... And the thing is that it doesn't look like you're wearing a push up... Just like you got bigger boobs?

So if you ever want bigger boobs, or maybe just yout body to look different in a specific shirt or dress... This would be the way to go accoring to me!! Wierd blog post, but I had to:)


Tom's shoes

Ok readers...I need some help and suggestions...

Do you know about tom's shoes? I like the idea, and I think they are nice too.
So I ordered a pair of these black ones around christmas, but they were a little too small (never happened before). So now I don't know what to do. The next half size larger is sold out, should I try a lot larger ( a whole size?:) Or should I order another pair? I am a little excited for March when they will have the Spring line with more lighter pastell colors. So what should I do?

-Should I just get regular black or white ones?
-Should I get blue or maybe red?
-Try to see if these black ones will fit?
-Wait til March?



Or maybe... What I feel like... Maybe just order these black ones in a larger size, and if they are too big, I can just send them back?  And then go from there?

I mean I could always get another pair later?:) Or is it dumb to get glitter? What do you think??

have a great night!!!

//Linda

I love this song


Thank you Sara:)


Gasparilla

Gasparilla was a lot of fun.. Sunday not so much...

We left with Kanga Crew to "sail under Captain Morgan" in a party bus to Tampa. The weather wasn't great,  but we still had a lot of fun.

Here is just one picture, and then the video can tell more. It was a great day!!!



Here is the Video!!!

 


Forever 21

I love this store... I know I am "like everyone else" now... But I really do. Cheap, nice clothes, and nice stores. It's fun to see how trends are in all stores:

-Big necklaces
-T-shirts with faces on
-Sequences
-Aols
-Lose T-shirts with a little pocket

And of course a lot of other stuff...

When we were walking inside Forever 21, my mother called. I am invited to a wedding... But it's May 15th:( How am I gonna do this? I REALLY want to go. Go back to Sweden a month earlier than planned? Or maybe go home for the weekend? Or what... HELP!!!

And just because of the call, I decided to try on a dress. The dresscode is black tie/tuxido/smoking... Fun!! I don't know what to wear? I know this dress is too tight, but I really really liked it. But I have like 5 little black dresses? Not one EXACTLY like this one thou?!


What do you think? get or not?


My day at the Mall

Today was a great day. I tried not to spend any money, and did a good job. Of course I knew I was gonna buy at least something. I bought a straples bra and also some jeweleries.


Some bracelets

This necklace but in gold

My "big" black necklace and the one in gold... 


Gasparilla

Updates from Gasparilla will be here soon... Hang in there...




People's Birthdays

January is a month full of birthdays. Here is what we got Hanna for her birthday.
And yesterday it was my BEST FRIEND from my childhood's birthday (Louise).

So happy biorthday to both of you!!



Alligator Hunting

My friends and I went alligator hunting the other day. But it was too cold, and got dark so we didn't see any.

Two days later they went back... and saw 37 gators!! And had picknick... But unfortunately I was at work. But next time... We might do it again this week.

The nature was cool thou and we had a great time when I went, even thou we didn't really accomplished our task. We still had fun...


YES!!!!

Yes, I got money back on my taxes!!!!!!!

Perfect!

So today we're going to Mall of Millenia. Therese have two beautiful friends here, and since the wetaher sucks we have to do something fun.

Celebrate my tax refund now, then work out, clean my room, update a little here, eat, and then shopping. Great day!!!


Slow...

Usually when people do not update their blogs I think that "maybe nothing fun happened... Just boring day"...  The reason to why I am not updating right now and have not been lately is because I've been too busy.

I finally got to sleep in some, and me and Adam are now about to file my taxes.

The weather sucks right now... Raining... On my day off!!!

Ok, time to be productive!
