i'm off

to go watch the Sweden vs. ?? football game. yeah, that's right. i don't even know who in the world they're playing. all i know is, all of Stockholm is going to be watching this game outside of the TGI Fridays and i will be there (btw - TGI FRIDAYS. i paid 32 dollars for 3 fajitas there back in December - that's how incredibly expensive everything is here). i figure it's the least i can do to show my halfhearted, could-care-less support for my temp country. everyone's saying they'll lose this game, anyway.

buuut...before i go watch the game i'm going to prowl the city (okay, H&M) for a giant oversized hobo slouchy bag. everytime we travel it ends up that i carry half of the stuff for the kids, plus everything that i'm taking for a carry-on, and you wouldn't believe the trunkload of stuff these kids take on the plane...PSP's (each have their own), DVD players, books, markers, puzzles, dolls, misc toys, bananas, crackers, meatballs (they don't eat plane food, duh)...the list goes on. i'm sick of throwing everything in my small-sized big purses and somehow, my Vera Bradley duffel bag just doesn't feel so cute in Europe, where everything is black, brown or white.

oh. and summer SUCKS here right now. it's been cloudy everyday for the last week and a half, and the high temp today? 59 degrees. that is a CRIME in the month of june.

thank the Lord i'll be on the beach in just 4 days...
