Nethergium

  It's already time for the next trip! This should express my thoughts and the spectacularness to come.    To Nethergium we go!! (Netherlands + Belgium... Selvfølgelige ) 

Weekend Highlights

 1. A fun trip to the zoo with Sune on my Friday off.  2. Rambling around town checking out antique stores, Indian food, and asking the planetarium if they had "live stars."  3.  Trying to get a hyper Sune's energy out at the parks nearby on Saturday morning.  4. A  fun night out with Maria, Megan and Molly at Mexi Bar and Francis Pony Saturday night.  5. A great St. Patrick's Day at Charlie's where Ewelina,  Marco (happy as ever),  Megan, Molly, Marc, (so many M's!) Eugene, and other cool people came and  6. Seeing Sune play. :) So amazed by him.  7. Morten's song lyric changes. Especially to Bieber.  8. Making a bond with random guy on the train ride home with deep conversations and even a hug goodbye. Haha Oh, life.    (Stolen from Ewelina )

Mere Dansk!

    Finally, this morning, after days of thinking about it and saying it over in my head,  I told Lotte,  "J eg tror vi skal tale mere pÃ¥ dansk nu, sÃ¥ jeg kan lære mere. "  Whats the mean?! What's that mean?! No, I didn't tell her I was done scrubbing floors, or I wouldn't clean the bathroom three times in two days, or wash the attic floor...  Nothing so dramatic... I'm not ready to leave Denmark yet. No, instead, this was me finally  getting the nerve, motivation, and initiate to say, "I think we should talk more in Danish now so I can learn more."         I'd realized I wished we'd been talking more in Danish this whole time a couple weeks ago, but was even too nervous to say something like that phrase to start the motion. I think speaking in another language, Danish in particular, can be so nerve racking. You, of course, want to use the write grammar, the write words, and also pronounce it in a way where they don't instantly know you&#

Love/Hate

 I absolutely, incredibly, completely, will never get over how much I'm amazed by a starry sky . It's just unreal.  I hate being so stinking impatient.  I do love solo exploring days .  Checked off two places on my list today... Soupanatural , a cute, organic soup place, and Madhatter's Bubble Tea Emporium . Both awesome. The city was so dead today though. Hoped to see my favorite buskers too but they weren't even out. :( Too cold and windy I suppose.  I love hearing people's awesome stories from their lives.  Ie, Francois (sp?), an older Frenchman, that I (officially) met in Charlie's today. (Yep, wound up there again... Sunday afternoons there, after a bit of exploring can always be nice).  Francois had me intrigued, first with his story about moving to Denmark beginning with "prison," then with his very interesting traveling stories. So, his move to Denmark came about when he escaped French prison for leaving the army, went  ba

Sweet Impracticalities... Fleamarket Finds

           Jen, Maria, and I went to a fleamarket yesterday in Enghave. It was a way bigger deal than I expected... Lines all the way out the door, then continuing inside to a HUGE building filled with awesome stuff.         I went with no intentions of buying anything... I wound up with plates... PLATES... When I'm moving to another country in three months. But they were the most beautiful plates I've ever seen... I had to.         Plus this mini elephant statue for my future shelves filled with cool things (like this elephant), this little elephant pouch which I'll surely find a use for, this grandma necklace and earrings, this dude sweater, and some super cool, comfy, flowery, hippie pants (not pictured... Maybe later.)    None practical.  All worth it.  I was really tempted to get this awesome old Tuborg beer can, buut I resisted. Improvement? "Tuborg. Every time." 

Girls Night, Love Day, Puppets, and Gospel Music

        Before continuing this blog, I can't believe I haven't introduced Megan and Molly yet. They came into the picture, also thanks to the previous au pair, Rebecca, who knew Molly. Megan and Molly are two beautiful half Scottish/Danish sisters.Molly previously au paired here and is now working here, while Megan is starting out au pairing here. They're both such incredibly nice, fun girls to be around. It's always a good time with them! I'm so glad to have met these great girls here. :)  Friday   Girls' night with Jen, Maria, and Megan with plenty of venting + laughing at children, especially them getting hurt.  Thomas ended up stealing Maria away.  Jen and I ended up at Charlie's.  Ended the night with Sune time when his guys' night was done. :)  I just love getting his super happy, big hugged greetings like on this night.  Saturday         Chose to celebrate "Charlotte and Anne-Lise's love day"  (moving in together pa

Mishap of the Day

Since it's a pain to go back and edit the old Mishaps post, both for me to edit and you to know when it's updated, I'll now just add "Mishaps of the day/weekend/week/whatever."  It'll be like a cool new category for my blog! (Hopefully read with ne rdy sarcasm). If only I knew how to do the cool organization making it look legit. Maybe one day.  But anyway ... My blooper for today that I felt was blog worthy? After cycling to the doctor to discuss my leg injury, I was ready to leave when I realized I left my bike key at home! Gah!  To cut out all the options that went through my head, I opted for walking home, switching off from suspiciously carrying this bike down the road, to pushing it awkwardly while holding the back wheel up, then switching sides to give my arms a rest. Was probably quite a spectacle.  I always wondered what people would do if they saw someone potentially stealing a bike (someone carrying a bike in the way I was would b
