it's about time

yesterday in Stockholm it was 57 degrees and sunny...definitely unprecedented! i went to church in the morning and then spent the afternoon walking around the city (in the single-handed most uncomfortable shoes ever created, by the way...i'm hurtin' today) and seriously, it was like people were coming out the woodwork. everybody in the city decided to get out and sit in the sun and walk around, and might i add, some people here are WEIRD. i'm walking around in a 3/4 length sleeve cardigan and jeans, and i was pretty warm in the sun - there were people still walking around in wool coats, scarves and gloves. no kidding. this is definitely one of the things that annoy me here; people way overdress for the weather. the children have been in their snowpants up until a couple weeks ago, and we've not even had any snow on the ground.

i'm doing laundry at the moment...it's a never-ending job with a family of 5. did i mention that the washer takes about one hour to do a load, and the dryer takes almost 3 hours? something to do with water and energy conservation, or something like that. all i know is that its annoying.

nikki and i found the place we're staying at in Bali! it's called Villa Casis, and it looks absolutely gorgeous. can't wait for that trip.

alright...there's laundry that needs to be folded and a hungry girl that needs some food. hope everyone had a great weekend!
