Day 42-46 in NY and Sweden
Posted by Camilla on June 1st, 2009 filed in NY Updates, SwedenDay 42 woke up early double checked bagagge made sure to put the last stuff in that had been charging over nite. Car arrived went to the bank then off to the airport. Bags checked in and then I looked at the clock yeah it was 1:40 so only a 3.5 hrs until take off, not too bad for me I have a tendency to be Very Early! Since I was flying business I got to pass by all the other people at the security line…Niiice…still had to take my shoes off though LOL Made my way to the lounge…free alcohol and free snack food…nice couches comfy. Time to board the plane…champagne, water or OJ served…got all my stuff together for the flight…Kindle, iTouch, Bose headset…yeah good to go. Takeoff…dinner served…airplane food yeah even in business it is still airplane food. Time to put down the seat for some well deserved sleep…somewhere over the Atlantic!
Day 43 started out somewhere in the air not really sure where I was, I know it was morning since breakfast was being served…once again airplane food the same in business as in Coach 🙂 Landed around 7 am…bagagge was marked with priority so mine were among the first to roll out…Very Nice! Quick trip on the bus to get the Rental…got a Toyota Prius not to bad 😀 Got the car started put the address in the Garmin then off to my moms work to pick up the keys. Came to my moms unloaded the bags a 15 min power nap…quick trip to my little sister Lina’s house then went to pick up my older sister Sanna in Flempan and then met up with Monica at my mom’s house! Spent a nice evening at the house. Me and Monica had dinner with my Mom and Gunnar after dinner went down for a little smoke break as we are sitting there and I am puffing away all of a sudden I hear Monica say “let me have a drag on your cigg” and I go What!!! Monica has not smoked for the last 20 years (at Least). So she goes yeah just a quick drag so what am I supposed to say she’s a grown woman…she takes a drag and then she made the most disgusting face and started coughing and then goes “In my head this was supposed to taste good”. The background to this is when we were young and stupid we both smoked, she later quit but in the beginning before her kids when I came back to Sweden on vacation she would sneak a drag or two in on my cigarettes for old times sake 🙂 But for the last 20 years she really hasn’t smoked At all so the taste she thought was going to be there yeah…Not so much LOL. But the look on her face was Priceless I wish I could have had a camera with me! A little later we headed over to Angela’s for a coffe break! Monica gave me a ride home…helped my mom set up the new Cable box…and then it was time to head to bed!
Day 44 Got up in the morning headed down to the laundry room since I wasn’t able to do the laundry before I left 🙂 So like any kid I took my laundry to my mom’s house LOL. Left around 1 to meet up with Monica, Mr P, and Pernilla for some lunch. We went to Media Markt I was picking out a new TV for my mom…and I bought a really cute new phone with Metallic red trim 😀 After that purchase was done we headed over to Mr P’s cousin in Sodertalje. So it’s all nice outside lots of sunshine you can see the sea through the trees…really georgeous 😀 So me and Mr P go sit down in the Hammock lovely rocking a little bit back and forth…then Monica comes and sits down with us and it’s all good…until we all of a sudden I feel the Hammock start tilting over and boom we are all of a sudden sitting On the ground after a 30-sec of stunned silence from all of us we all burst out laughing. Monica and Mr P are laughing so hard they can’t even get up. Well if that wasn’t an ice breaker for meeting new people then I don’t know what would be. So Mr P’s cousin decided it was time to buy a new Hammock so we all graciously offered to break some more furniture whenever he needed anything replaced! After a wonderful and Fun afternoon in Sodertalje we all headed home, Monica and Mr P headed to Nykoping and me to Tullinge to my moms house. Spent the evening setting up the TV for them.
Day 45 in Sweden headed over to the store in the morning was cooking dinner for the Family it was Mother’s day in Sweden. Most everyone came Lina with her fiancee Jake and my 2 nieces Nova and Ella, Sanna her fiancee Thomas and one of my nephews Patrik, mom and Gunnar, and then me 🙂 Pasta ad Sauce Bolognaise served 😀 Nice dinner and then sat on the balcony chatting and eating some cake 😀 Left later in the evening to head down to Monica’s in Nykoping spent a nice evening with her and Mr P 😀
Day 46 was a Productive day…wakeup walk dog, pharmacy, print shop, passport agency, back to walk dog, pick up Tilda and Pernilla, then off for some shopping Pheeeewww! Shopping done then back to Nykoping Swedish Pizza for dinner Yummylicious! TV time then some blog and now it is time for Bed!

Camilla, I love the colors for your blog page! and I love your stories. Just read for the 1st time as I’ve been soooo busy interviewing and staying above water financially, as unemployment is awful. Thanks MS Swede for the morning inspiration. I feel like I’m sittin’ on the porch with you, asking for a ‘drag’. good writing!
