you know you travel too much when -

you're going to a foreign country tomorrow and you keep forgetting....

yep, we're off to Legoland in Denmark tomorrow. while i'm not super thrilled, i know it should at least be a good time with the family. that's the bonus in having young, fun parents as your bosses. they know how to have a good time, even with children running around ;)

anyway, i'm having a grouchy day as i went swimsuit shopping (ugh, ugh, ugh) and then got back to my car to find a parking ticket on it. sweet. not a damn car in the ENTIRE lot...it was a sea of open parking spots. but they evidently felt the need to ticket me for not paying the outrageous parking fee. yes, i have a problem with paying for parking spots, and yes, i am well aware of it. you'd think i had learned my lesson by now. they charge for everything in Sweden - your grocery bags, to use the toilet, to park anywhere....so freaking annoying.

actually found a super cute swimsuit at a store called Twilfit - wish i could put a picture of it here, but their website is under construction. anyway, it's just your basic black-and-white striped halter top with black boy shorts...super cute and totally my style. i just hate trying swimsuits on this time of year, though. pasty thighs and post-lunch stomach definitely don't do much to sell the product.

yesterday was Valborg in Sweden. it's a big holiday that celebrates the beginning of Spring, and they do so by having big, giant bonfires in each town in the country. i went to a friend's house for dinner last night and then we made our way over to the bonfire, which, unfortunately was burning embers by the time we got there. didn't matter to me cause i had a REALLY good våfflor med syltt och grädde (how you like that Swedish there? a waffle with jam and cream).

alright...i suppose i should go pack the suitcase that never seems to leave my room. have a great weekend!
