Erika's World

Yesterday was my moms'  birthday. Yeah, it was cool. I made her breakfast (yeah, I am just that nice) and gave her a present - a pair of shorts and a top from H&M. Later we went out to dinner with Annika and Kaj. They wanted to take out my mom since it was her birthday. It was fun and it was just the four of us. Annika, Kaj, my mom and I. Yeah. Today is the party. Party, dinner, whatever. There will be people and there will be food. Call it what you want. I am in charge of the cakes. I layered the yesterday, so all I have to do today is decorating them. It's going to be fun. I have a few ideas. OMG, you know what, when my mom went shopping for the party she almost bought flan case which kind of broke my heart. I mean hello! Fortunately I talked her out of it. Yeah, but the she end up baking them herself anyway. At least she didn't buy ready flan cases, so I guess that's good. I mean who does that? Lazy people. Okay maybe not but hire a chef at least so that

OMG, I am exhausted! I just want to lay down on bed or the couch (doesn't really matter) and just lay there. I am just.... I don't but yeah, exhausted. I deserve a medal for my accomplishments today! I do do. Today I have helped my mom grocery shopping, I have cleaned my room, I went for a jog earlier and a few minutes ago I baked scones. Okay, okay confession time here - jogging and cleaning my room was the two most exhausting things. Oh, almost forgot, I went to the dentist and booked an appointment for a examination. Not that I believe that anythings wrong with my teeth. Nothing hurts or whatever. I just want to be sure so that i don't get stuck with a huge dental bill in the US. I want to use the free dental care as long as I can, so when I come back home in December I will try to get an appointment. Now, I am just going to enjoy the evening by watching TV. Yeah, I deserve some laziness in front of the telly. I need to rest for tomorrow. your writer, Erika

So as you may know I am in the process of moving to Cali this fall. Well actually at the end of this summer. On August 9th it's all going down. Yeah, you heard it first HERE. LOL. Anyway, that means that I have to get rid of a bunch of things that I don't need. When I say a bunch, I literary mean there is a ton of stuff that I don't really need. Like I have a bunch of clothes in my closet that I never wear but I really don't want to get rid of them but I need to give my closet some though love. There are probably gonna be tears and screaming but it has to be done. Uoooh, I am dreading it - something I really don't want to face but as I said TOUGH LOVE. I mean and boys you might not understand this but getting rid of clothes is for girls like a family member dying. It is AWFUL! If you only could see the - imaginary - tears running down my cheeks. Yeah, inside I am close to a wreck. Hahah, nah, I am not but you get the picture. It's hard and that's what I wa

So, you know I have started jogging. Yeah. I have only done it twice so far but I have notice a positive change. Well, there is a change and it's that I think that my posture has improved. You know how you sometimes stand or sit or whatever like a bag of potato, yeah, it's not like that anymore. I automatically stand up strand. It's like I can't be a bag of potato. I can try but it's not that comfortable. your writer, Erika

Ooops! Sorry, again! LOL. I meant to blog yesterday, but then again you mean to do alot of things everyday  that you never end up doing. Yeah, yeah, it's not like it's this big tragedy that I didn't blog yesterday. The faith of the world does not depend on it. Anyway, what I meant to blog about yesterday was my outfit. Just that simple. I liked it and was proud of what I accomplished. Hehehe. I think that the way you look will control your mood for the rest of the day. I mean if you look good you will feel good as well. That is my philosophy. Because if I wear something that I am not 100% satisfied with, I won't be in the best mood. I will be like "Hmm, I could have done better. Bad Erika." Hahaha, no I am not that hard on myself. I am more likely to sigh because I don't have enough clothes. Girl problems. your writer, Erika

Someone commented on my blog about some things that I could do and so today I did one of those things. Well, it was actually something that I have been thinking about doing - I went for a jog. Since I went for a jog I didn't bring my camera but I took a picture of myself before I went out. Yeah, no after picture. No pretty thing. I mean of course I am pretty but got a sweaty and a little exhausted, yeah so no picture. All I wanted to do when I came home was taking a shower. I think I am going to try to jog about 3 times a week. Do you guys have anymore challenges for me? your writer, Erika

I am sorry that I didn't blog yesterday since I have promised to try to blog everyday since I am between semesters. But I went to the preview screening of Rock of Ages  last night. I didn't know what to blog about before I left for the preview screening and when I came home I was to exhausted to turn on the computer. I am not that obsessed that I need to blog everyday. Well, anyway since I went to the preview screening last night I though that I would be nice and review the movie. WARNING for spoilers! First things first, the movie was good. If you love musicals you should go and see it. It was funny from time to time. Like when someone who worked at The Bourbon Room came up to Dennis (Alec Baldwin) and Lonny (Russell Brand) and informed Dennis that the beer guy is there and Dennis responded "Tell him I am busy....busy falling in love." The whole time he was staring at Lonny, barely agnolishing the other guy. Also when Stacee Jaxx (Tom Cruise) calls the Rolling St

So today I have just been at home. I didn't feel like going anywhere. Not that I wanted to I just didn't have the energy. Because seriously there is nothing worse that sitting home all day doing nothing when you're on a break. Yeah, yeah there is no reason to pout about it. It is what it is. Tomorrow there is this preview screening of The Rock of Ages  that I am thinking about going to. It depends if I have the energy. It seems like a good movie and who doesn't like free stuff? Plus window shopping and ACTUAL shopping is not fun forever. I mean it is fun but all you get out of the experience (except from motion) is a sad feeling from realizing that it is not a good idea to max out our credit or debit card. You need some variation in you daily activity otherwise you will go insane. Not insane but utterly ridiculously bored. Yeah. maybe you guys have some idea for me to do this summer. Yeah, maybe you do and please comment if so because then I can do all of those things

Oh my gosh, I am done. No, what I mean is I have no energy, I am so tired. Why? I'll tell you why. You know that I work as a mystery shopper and today I was going to do a mystery shopper observation at a Burger King restaurant. The problem was that I didn't find that damn the BK. Hmm. I looked for it for about 30 minutes. In the rain. Yeah, in the rain. Do you see what I have to put up with. No no, this girl is meant for better things. I went beck home instead but if you want to know where the Microsoft Office and IBM office is just ask and I tell. So, apparently there is a special Swedish bonus track on Justin Bieber's new album Believe . The song is called Fairytale ft Jaden Smith. The track was not on my cd and I can't find it anywhere. Yeah, um what's up with that! UMG, I want answers! No just.... don't lie to me. Plus to anyone out there who likes to write stuff that's not true on wikipeadia - STOP that and DON'T mess with me! Stop being a hater j

Yo, since I am between semesters right now. I am going to try to blog more, like everyday. I don't know about what do. Yeah probably just the everyday stuff that I do. So what everyday stuff do I do. Hmmmm. Well, one thing that I have done this week except graduating from high school is that I have been to the release party for Justin Bieber's new cd Believe , which actually came out yesterday. In Sweden anyway. I took my friend Linda. I kind of made her go. No, I didn't force her or anything I just told her about the party and she said "Sure, why not." It was kind of fun, though I would have preferred DJ Tay James to DJ the party instead of the woman that did. LOL, no harm to UMG, it was a great party. We had luck with the weather. I mean that it didn't rain when we were standing in line outside. Apparently it had rained because the ground was wet and Linda said that it had rained where she lives. Anyway, once we got inside the music was pumping. It was L

Soooooo............ I have FINALLY (oh my god that sound kind of like I have been in high school for the past six years of my life, not like the normal three) graduated from high school last Tuesday! Yeah! No more school - until college starts in August but still. Yeah! My day started at 7 AM but I don't need to take you through me getting ready so let us just skip three hours. 10 AM - I met up with a few of my classmates nearby our high school. We ate strawberries and some drank  champagne or cider. We also singed each others hats and I usual I was the only one with a pen but as nice as I am I let them borrow my pen. That's the kind of chic I am. The good girl. Son it was time for us to head over to school for our graduation. The graduation was fun. There was this nostalgia medley where a few teachers sang a Spice Girls song, two other teachers rapped and one guy from the music class performed  Freeztyler. After the whole graduation ceremony it was time for what we in Sweden

FINALLY! Finally the shoes that I ordered from Nelly.com  to wear for my high school graduation came. It was not Nelly's fault. It was the postal service fault. I mean seriously, when I went to get my visa at the american embassy, my passport/ visa (since the visa is inside the passport) was at the post office where I live for a week and a half. When you have mail or a package to pick up at the post office you are either A) supposed to get a text message saying that they have package for you to pick up or B) a letter in delivered to you private mailbox where you live. I didn't get either of those so of course I got like super worried and wondered what the heck was wrong. Like didn't embassy deny me a visa or had it got lost in the mail (because that can happen). Nope, neither! Argh, I get so mad when they can't do their job. Anyways, I finally got a mail from posten saying that they had a package for me and that if I didn't pick it up in three days they would send i

So last Friday my childhood friend Caroline (or Carro as she's called by family and friends) graduated from high school (yeah, yeah I am the looser who haven't graduated from high school yet but don't worry tomorrow is my turn). My mom and I (and some other people, duh) celebrated her big day. To bad that she doesn't live any closer to where I live because on my day off (yeah for the last few weeks I haven't had any classes on Friday - up top!) I had to go at 7 am. Yeah, 7 AM ON A FRIDAY! That should be illegal. Life is so hard sometimes. Poor me. Anyway, I got up, got ready - did all of that stuff. As I mentioned Caroline doesn't live close to me so my mom and I got a ride from one of her uncle's and his wife (since people). We got there just in time, but we couldn't find her. Well, to place blame her UNCLE couldn't find her. Lucky for us that he aunt found us so that we didn't get lost. That would have been tragic. Not tragic but yeah. She
