Last night I was getting ready to go to bed when Peter and Henrik called me into the family room to watch a movie. They were watching Ransom and were absolutely appalled that I hadn't seen it before (It's Mel Gibson!!). So we watched Ransom and with 5 minutes left in the movie, right as we got to the final showdown between Mel Gibson and Gary Sinise, POP, all of the power went out in the family room and kitchen! Luckily Henrik and I were able to see the last scene on another TV but Peter was pretty freaked because half of the house was out of power (including the fridge and freezer!) Needless to say, it was pretty hectic this morning and we weren't allowed to get anything out of the fridge so I couldn't make a sandwich for lunch (but then I remembered they had peanut butter so I had that for lunch. :-( Luckily, last night Peter moved some yogurt into the fridge that was working so we could have breakfast this morning! By the time I got home this evening, the power was fixed and peace was restored to the Wennevold household!
In between my class and my info session, my friend and I walked around and ate pastries (cinnamon roll with chocolate on it) and shopped (I didn't buy anything, she bought gloves because hers fell apart and it is @!&$ing cold here! The pastries were DELICIOUS and luckily (or unluckily depending on your view) the bakery is pretty darn close to DIS!
There was a very attractive Dane on the train home, I fell in love with him, he looked like an Abercrombie model, strong and silent type definitely!
Tonight I am just hanging out with the fam, hopefully doing some laundry (the situation is getting quite desperate, I waaaayyyy underpacked certain essential items of my wardrobe...
Food Log:
Breakfast: Musseli and yogurt
Lunch: Peanut Butter Sandwich, apple, pastry
Dinner: Some sort of stew, it was brown with chunks of meat, mini onions (about the size of marbles) on rice, very very good, especially because it was so cold today!
oh no! not the power! why did it only go off in half the house? that pasty sounds DE-LISH! :]
ReplyDeleteps. i hope you know that since you mentioned the last name of the family, i now have both of Kristian's names and can now facebook stalk him...however. there are 2 teenage boys with that name and i'm trying to decide whether or not to friend them both... mwhahahaha :]
What essential items of your wardrobe....besides a warm coat....did you under pack? Should we send you something? And you've been there almost 2 weeks now and if you haven't had to do laundry, I think you are doing pretty well!
ReplyDeleteWhy did you not sit next to the very attractive Dane on the Train and strike up a conversation? Oh, that's right...you are Katie...not Maggie! Of course you could turn over a new leaf while you are in Denmark and be a little more out-going and...dare I say forward...or you will have hard time snagging a beautiful young Dane to bring home!
It sounds like you are eating a lot of pastries! I just don't recall you being the pastry face that your father is! They must be something special. Is there nothing else to snack on?
I meant to say on yesterdays post, that since you went to the wrong place for you CPR card, now you get to go to another little willage and explore that one too! How exciting! I just wish it was warmer for you!
Have you warned your "host brothers" about your little sister who is a stalker? Remember to tell them that she apparently has no life!
I always find power outages kind of fun in a way, as long as they don't last too long. Did you tell your family that we have power outages ALL the time at home? I hope you suggested watching the end of that movie by candle light! Grandpa Halpin would be so proud!
We LOVE your posts and look forward to them every day! You are doing a GREAT job! They are interesting and funny! We love you and miss you! Mwhahhhhhh! xxxxx
