hmm...

  Taaniel and Christofer were gone for the better part of the day, so Ethan, Luke and I stayed inside and worked. I did get some stuff done, but as always lots more to do. When T and Ch arrived home, we had a nice long chat, lots of exciting things happening. Ch and I then went on a run and came back so hungry that we could barely think straight, however we were waiting for Ethan, who was out riding, so we cleaned and waited. He arrived home around 8 and we headed out to 'The Counter' probably one of the best burger joints ever! I'm not a huge fan of bugers, but there is just something about building your own burger with all your favorite ingredients, oh and the fact that they have out of this World milkshakes. I can't write anymore my stomach is so stuffed it hurts recall it. It was so good!

  By far a wonderful day.

 Oh and I've asked Ethan to clean his bathroom probably 10 times, the first 2 I was nice about it, the next 6 I was a little less nice, and the last 2 times I've been annoyed. I decided to try a new tactic, one I hope will work.

A bit hard to read but the last part says 'Clean your bathroom. Your affectionate sister, E.Karltorp.' We shall see if it works. I'm trying to act in a more roommate way instead of an older sister.

Monday blues equals Monday mys

 Christofer woke up this morning, leaned over and said 'People say Monday blues and I say Monday mys' (Mys is Swedish for cosy). It was wonderful to wake up to such a happy husband, we were out of bed relatively early, which mean't we were able to squeeze in a breakfast together alone before the rest of the men woke up. It is rather funny to be living with three other guys, but I admit that it could be a lot worse. Both Luke and Ethan are pretty much cheerful all the time and though Taaniel has his days, he is always helpful and willing. I do miss living alone with Christofer though, but I know this is a season and I enjoy being surrounded by people, though on occasion I would like the house to stay clean, no dishes lying around, and no one working on Saturdays and evenings, or for that matter a sit down dinner that lasts more than 15 minutes. However, a startup is hard work and even if all doesn't go as planned, it has been a very enriching experience.

 Right now I just finished some work and realized that it's almost 10:30, I think I shall grap a book and take some time to unwind. It's easy to be totally consumed by things that you HAVE to do. Speaking of doing things, I was able to get out all the taxes in time, a miracle in it self! Also, looks like the new Zerply site will be up tonight. I can't wait for people to see it, it is grand!

 Off with her head! Which reminds me, we saw 'The Kings Speech' last night. Such a great movie, rather slow but a magnificent blend of superb acting, witty dialogue and fascinating filming. I highly recommend it. My favorite scene was probably when he realized that he was going to be King, for those of you who haven't seen it I won't say anything more, watch it and you'll see what I mean.

A must see!

 A great Monday preceded by a great weekend.

 Short recap of the weekend, more for my poor memory than anything else.

 Friday

 Highlight of the day: Spent the afternoon doing errands alone and greeted by many smiling faces.

 Disappointment of the day: Being frustrated with Christofer, myself and taxes.

 Saturday

 Highlight of the day: Shopping with Lindsey and Claudia, encouraging conversations along with a new dress and chai mocha latte. Also talking to the most wonderful Irish man at the evenings Swedish party. He was so engaging and uplifting. 

Disappointment of the day: Realizing I hoard the biblical teaching I have received. I need to work on sharing more of it. 

 Sunday

 Highlight of the day: Church, walking in the rain with Christofer to lunch, watching the 'The Kings Speech' and once again a chai mocha latte, only on weekends ;) 

 Disappointment of the day: Saying something that wasn't true. I tried to act like I knew more than I did, not a very good practice.
