Morning, morning everywhere!!
Tuesday again and I don't know what to write this very day.
I think I will post another me-me. I am a sucker for these lists, to read them and to fill them out.
Petra in Puerto Rico posted this me-me on her blog last week, so now I am just stealing it from her :-)
So here it goes...
1. How old are you in five years? 48
2. Who did you spend at least two hours with today? I spent more than two hours with my dear Swedish friends...We had breakfast here at my place. You all know about the Swedish breakfast club! We get together every Monday for food and a good chat. Nice!!!
3. How tall are you? 169 cm
4. What was the last film you saw? Let the Right One In. I just watched it yesterday, and I have got to say that the movie just grows on me!!! I am into Vampires, but not the Twilight vampires so much. It is more like Dracula for me. I own the movie Dracula (with Gary Oldman and Keenu Reeves and Winona Ryder) I’ve seen it countless of times, and I can quote it. Dracula is fascinating, as are vampires. I cannot explain why I never fell for the Twilight trend. I just did not. BUT, I’ve seen Twilight on DVD, pretty good little love story.
5. Who did you last call? Peter, I think.
6. Who last called you? United Air Temp...fun....
7. Do you prefer to call or send text messages? TEXT!!!! TEXT!!! If I can avoid to pick up the phone I am happy, hahah!!
8. Are your parents married or divorced? Married since 1964.
9. When did you last see your mum? MY MOM!!!! On Arlanda Airport in Stockholm on March 15 when I left Sweden for the US. My Dad and Mom drove me there, as they have hundreds of times before (at least it feels like that). Always hard to say good bye. BUT I am not complaining, I see my parents more often than many people see their parents. See you in July again mom and dad!!!

14. What is your least favourite place? The doctor’s office. YUK. AND THE security check at the airports, and the immigration while entering the US is NO fun either.

Comments
Jasså, det blev en lista idag. Kul läsning, för på något sätt så beskriver den personen lite mer. Inte för att jag skulle ställa alla de där frågorna. Typ hur många kuddar och om man sover med gosedjur. Men intressant att se att du har fått fortkörningsböter! Det har Maken fått 2 ggr redan här. Han kör som en dåre!
Kyrkan trodde jag nästan alla gick i här. Religiösa som icke religiösa. Jag har faktiskt göra ett besök i kyrkan i påsk då mina svärföräldrar kommer hit. Har ingen större koll på kyrkorna här, men det finns ett antal. Det gäller att ta den "rätta".
Ha en fin tisdag, som på finska heter tiistai. Vet du att om man ska säga bla bla på tisdag så blir det bla bla tiistaina . Kolla slutet på ordet ;)
Kramar!
Du är underbar!
Dina lektioner får mig alltid att le...
VA? Menar du att du inte skulle fråga mig om kuddar när vi ses??? ;-)
Nej, men listor är bra när man inte vet vad man ska skriva...
Kyrkan...nej, men vet du jag är inte religiös precis. Peter skulle nog gärna gå. Men jag känner massor med amrisar som inte går i kyrkan på regelbunden basis. Jag känner många som går också, sen vet jag inte hur religiösa de är heller, men...Visst, det hör till här på ett annat sätt än hemma.
Fortkärningsböter har jag också fått ja...DÅ skämdes jag, kan jag säga!!!
Kramar, kramar!!
Jag hade också en massa dåliga lärare på högstadiet, mellanstadiet och gymnasiet var så mycket bättre!
Stor kram
Ingen fara, jag vet att det blir bra med bara en kudde också!
DU anar inte så mkt vi uppskattar er generositet!!
TACK så här på förhand också!!
Jag kan lätt dricka kaffe hos er!! Det vill jag gärna!!!
Längtar efter att kunna lägga lite nya länder till min lista under nästa vecka!
På festen i lördags hörde jag SÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅ mkt gott om Puerto Rico. Det var så många som varit där, och som älskar det. Många hade varit på kryssning också, och älskade det. SÅ jag längtar!!
Ja, vad var det med lärarna på högstadiet egenrligen? Riktigt USLA!!
KRAMAR i massor!!
It is a long list indeed...
Yes, how on earth do you dance in the car? HAHA!!
I did not have a favorite teacher in JR high so that was an easy one to answer.
Always fun to read, and to fill out, these lists.
JAsså, McLean i NY...Uttalades det MacLANE där också och inte McLean...LIIIN alltså?
Så uttalas det här. Inte som det stavas alltså.
elisabeth:
Jamen jag vet...helt galna frågor i mångt och mkt...
Jag var också en snäll flicka i skolan, men jag kan inte minnas en enda lärare på högstadiet som jag tyckte var bra, hemskt va!
SKÖNT för dig. I wish!!!
Kram!!!
(ännu en dålig natt för mig, natten som gick)
