Hello :)
Two days ago, were I and got my driving license, for WA, fixed! :D

Looks good, right? ;D The real one will arrive in the mail under 4 days :) Can't wait ^^
I went and fixed it during the day, all on my own ;) felt pretty good :)

------------------

As for today, right now, am I at one of the Starbucks in downtown :) I just got off skype with my family :) <3
They all looked good :) and tired ;) the time is about 11 pm in the middle of the night there ;) ^^ <3 and as for here: 2 pm in the afternoon ^^ And the sun is shining, no wait, it just went into "hiding" among the clouds ;)

The Zumba class today went good :) I really worked with my arms today, and I can tell you I am tired in my arm ;) ^^
Yes, I worked with my entire body ;) but even more with my arms ^^

I'll blog more another day :)
Love,
Frida <3

Good evening <3
Are right now in my room, the time is a little past 8 pm and I have taken a nice, long and hot shower :)
I took real good care of my hair and body this time :) wouldn't mind if I had taken a bath instead ;) ^^

A few weeks ago, my family sent my my cup "Hot Chocolate" with marshmallows and hot chocolate mix :) Tonight, I took a sip of it, and I can tell you that I'm glad I waited til now to drink it :)

The taste is very good, and the marshmallows are a delicious decoration ;) ^^ I really needed this cup today :) The scent of marshmallows, reminds me of this time when I were with my sister Elin, our friend Ida and a friend of Ida and Elin, where we are in Ida's backyard and grilling marshmallows :) we dropped a few marshmallows on the grass ^^

It's amazing how a mere scent, can bring back flashes of memories, right before your eyes :) And this memory, is really sweet <3

Tomorrow, is Saturday and that means poetry class! :D Can't wait ^^
Eden is going to drive me to the class :) and we are going for a cup of coffee before the class, at 9 am (my class is at 10 am). She would like to talk over a cup of coffee :) Some bonding-time, between her and me :)


Anyway, I'm about to put on a movie and jump in bed, I'll blog more tomorrow :)
Good night <3

Love,
Frida <3

What's up? :)
The time is right now 2:15 pm and I am at Starbucks once again ^^ well, first time of today, but the second day in a row ;)
I went to the post office before coming here to ship a packet to my mother back home in Sweden :D
I won't tell you what's in it, because my mom can read my blog ;) Hey mom! :) <3
The packet should arrive in 10 days :) so you'll have to wait a little bit before I can tell what was in it ;) hahaha ^^

The reason I'm stationed at Starbucks today is because I needed to get out of the house :) I needed a change of location to try and writing my poems :) so I thought, why not Starbucks? ;) and it's working good :) I was able to write 2 poems today And I thought I would share one of them with you :) and please, don't copy it and say it's yours :) Thank you :)

To live, is to take a chance
To live, is to try
You never know, what you got
You never know, what you get
Wake up, give it your all
You can
You will
You shall
Don't give up

What do you think? :) I was thinking about me, being far away from home. When I think about my family, my relatives and my closests friends. That I miss them, that I want to go back home, but that I can't, I won't.
It's only 5 months, 3 weeks and 1 day left, today, here in USA :) This half year, will go fast or slow, depending on how I spend it ;)
Sad = slow
Happy = fast ;)

I feel good today :) I Skyped with mom yesterday and that was exactly what I needed :) I still, every day, think about mom, dad, my siblings, my dog, my relatives and my closest friends. Not a day go by, that I don't think about them. Not. Even. A. Day.
But I'm not saying that I'm having to big homesickness that I want to go back home, not yet anyway ;)

Mom, I love you soo much :) <3
Dad, I love you soo much :) <3
Elin, I love you soo much :) <3
Hugo, I love you soo much :) <3
Sigge, I love you soo much :) <3
Miss Yoda, I love you soo much :) <3

Peace, Frida out! ;) <3

Hello :)
The time is right now 11:40 am and I'm sitting at Starbucks trying to write my poem for my poetry class on Saturday :) not working so very good, so I decided to take a break and blog about mine and Addie's field trip we did yesterday :)

We went to Pacific Science Center in Downtown Seattle for a few hours of the day :) Addie didn't have school yesterday ;)
Here comes some photos I took :)

Addie (to the very right) found some friends at the science center ;)

She were trying to make different shapes :)

Answering questions :)

She did pretty good :) got all the way to 11 :)

Snack time ;)

She wanted to take a funny photo of me, so I thought that I had to add it ;) ^^

On the way back to the car, to go home :) and the spotted a stage; she had to go up and act a little ^^
She were so cute :)

That's all the photos I have to show you today :)

I wanted to tell you about yesterday :)
So it was date night for Eden and Eric and I took care of the kids from 4 pm till they would come home :)
The kids and I went to one of their favorite parks; Bay View Park :)

Before it was time to head home; we had to have a small snack ;) Carrots for the Anderson and Adrian, and broccoli for Addie :)

Hello :)
The time is 1:41 pm and I'm back from my poetry class :) Today is Valentine's Day, so my poems has the theme love :)

Here comes the feedback :)

They saw some longing in the text, very emotional and some distance in it too. All in a good way.
I'm missing someone, but at the same time, I'm enjoying myself in the USA ;)
They also asked if I had a song in mind as I wrote this poem ^^ because this poem, could easily be a song :)

Rex (classmate), sang the three first lines and it sounded pretty good ^^ the words and his voice :)

They gave me pretty good feedback on my poem :D
It's so fun in the poetry class :) their poems are good, but I don't fully get some of them ^^

Love,
Frida <3

PS. Happy Valentine's Day <3
