Day 12

The weather today was PERFECT! Around the low 80's and sunny ALLLL day! :) I took advantage of the weather and started my day with a 5 mile interval workout that kicked my butt. When I got back to the house, I changed into my bathing suit and biked over to Kelsey's so we could wash Ingrid's house windows. It only took us about an hour to do, so when we were finished we sat around waiting for Ingrid to get back home and I had some Swedish "lemonade." Once she got home and paid us, I biked back to my place to fix myself lunch. I had salad with some leftover meat from last night's dinner on it. After eating I was able to skype with Mom, then I went out in the back yard and sunbathed with My for a couple hours. 


Around 4pm Karin, My, and I went to pick up Tove from a nearby school. She had participated in a soccer camp the past couple days. After getting her stuff, we went to the grocery store to get some groceries... Karin bought my Coke Zero that I've been wanting... I've been so tired of nothing but warm water. She bought 2 one liter bottles, and they are already almost gone because everyone in the house has been drinking them :( I was able to pour some in my water bottle and stick it in the freezer before it was all gone tho bc I want to have some for when Kelsey and I watch the Hangover Part 2 tonight! :) 


After getting back from the grocery store, Kelsey biked over and we biked the 2 miles into town to go ahead and pick up our tickets for the movie tonight... Ingrid's husband showed us earlier today how you can reserve seats online, so that's what we did. We took a different route home because there's this one hill that we hate biking up, but we ended up encountering about 5 of the same size hills on this other route lol. Once I was back home I helped cut lettuce and tomatoes for our "sandwiches" we were eating for dinner. Karin explained that these were the sandwiches she wanted on her birthday night, but because we were all so busy we never got to have them. They are technically called Smorgasbord sandwiches because you put EVERYTHING on them.... so my pita consisted of a sliced boiled egg, a piece of sandwich ham, red peppers, lettuce, tomato, avocado, cucumber, butter (spread first on the bread), little tiny shrimp, and then some homemade sauce that had caviar, onions, and sour cream mixed together. Karin was putting some weird looking spread on her sandwich and told me to put some on my finger and try it, so I did. I kind of had a suspicion of what it might be by reading the swedish label... and she confirmed those suspicions when she told me what it was after I tried it... liver paste. It actually wasn't that bad, it was kind of bland, but smelled like cat food. Needless to say, I did not add that to my sandwich. 


Since today is Saturday and a "candy day" here in Sweden, I had some of my candy throughout the day that I bought last weekend at the huge candy store. Now I'm just waiting for Kelsey to bike over here in the next 20 minutes so we can bike down to the movie theater. Our movie starts at 9:30, so we'll be biking back home afterwards... but it shouldn't be too dark since it never seems to get very dark here. 


Karin knows I like to exercise so she suggested I jump on their trampoline for about 20 minutes as exercise since it works all your muscles... so I think instead of running again tomorrow I will wake up and jump for awhile :) if nothing else it will be more fun than running :)
