svensk vår.
Dags att börja jobba snart. Inte så länge dock då familjen ska
iväg till mormor och morfar på middag vid sju. Då passar jag på
att göra mig i ordning inför kvällens bravader. Vet inte riktigt
vad kvällen har att bjuda på än men planen är att åka in till Paris
och träffa några vänner till Beata. Känner jag mig själv rätt så tar
jag nog sista metron hem då jag börjar jobba nio imorgon bitti,
men man vet aldrig.

Dagen har annars varit toppen, började med en timmes konversations-
kurs imorse på La Clef och sedan tog jag, Beata och My en tur till
simhallen här i St G. Det är svensk vår här idag igen, solen skiner,
runt 10 grader varmt och inte så blåsigt. Härligt!

Time for work soon. Not too long tonight since the family are going
to the grandparents place for dinner. The plans for me tonight is
probebly to go in to Paris with Beata and see if we can find a nice
bar or something like that. Will probebly not stay out too long since
I work at nine tomorrow morning, but you never know.
Today was a good day, after conversation course at La Clef me,

The weather was also nice, like spring in Sweden. Sunny, around 10
degrees and not so windy. Lovely!
dags igen.
Taggad för träning? YES.
och det blåser på månen(läs; Paris.).
Det blåser så mycket att jag undrar hur länge huset kommer
få stå kvar. Skolan är igång, både för mig och barnen och allt
har återgått till vardagen. I helgen slänger vi ut granen och då
är julen över för den här gången. Rätt skönt kan jag tycka, julen
är härlig och kul men det räcker med den månaden om året
som vi har.

It's so windy that I can't believe how our house can still stand
strong. I'm spending some hours before work inside with my
book and coffee. Now everything has gone back to normal,
school has started both for me and for the kids. It feels fine
though, christmas is fun but it's enough with just one month a
year.
Ungefär vad jag längtar efter just nu...

alla pratar svenska.
Finished the day with crêpes at a crêperie in Saint Germain with
Bedtime now. But I will probebly stay up way too long anyway because
Beata and Julia. Just as we sat there speaking swedish a guy
at the table beside starts to speak with us. In swedish! Apparently
his mum is swedish and he had been working in Stockholm for a
couple of months so he knew the language. What a small world!
Bedtime now. But I will probebly stay up way too long anyway because
of a book that I got for christmas. Drottningoffret. Can't stop reading.
Ciao.
Ciao.
gott nytt.
2012. Det klingar ganska bra i mina öron. Nytt år med nya saker att uppleva
och utmanas av. Min första utmaning i år var att sätta mig på planet tillbaks
till Paris efter 10 dagar hemma i Sverige. Det gick bra och nu kan det bara gå
bättre!
Klockan 10.44 kom jag fram till ett soligt och vårigt Paris. Att det är andra januari
Klockan 10.44 kom jag fram till ett soligt och vårigt Paris. Att det är andra januari
verkar inte vädret förstå och jag kan inte klaga. Jag fick min snö sista dagen i
Värmland så nu har jag bockat av det för i år. Fast bara nästan, för i slutet av
Februari åker jag och värdfamiljen till alperna för lite semester (läs. jobb.) och
skidåkning.
Trots sömnbrist efter nattens biltur till flygplatsen så snörade jag ändå på mig
Trots sömnbrist efter nattens biltur till flygplatsen så snörade jag ändå på mig
julklappsskorna och stack ut på en löptur som fick följden av att jag stupade i
säng efteråt med en bok och somnade. Nu har jag vaknat och resväskan står
på golvet och skriker åt mig att den vill packas upp.
Gott nytt år önskar isåkarna i Ängen!
Happy new year!

It's 2012 and I'm back in Paris. I arrived this morning to a sunny day in Paris
and now it feels like spring. I don't mind, Paris can be warm. I will get my snow
in the alps in the end of februari. Today I have, despite my tiredness from the
long car drive to the airport, been out running in my new christmas shoes. But
afterwards I just took my book, went to bed and falled asleep after two minutes
while reading. Now it's time to unpack that bag...
soon christmas...
Hanging out wit my kitty and my new christmas toy that I
got yesterday waiting for my last pick up at La creche for
this year. Tomorrow I'm leaving Paris for 10 days for some
well deserved vacation with my family and friends.
But I'm not in Sweden yet, tonight I'm spending my night
in Paris with Cirque du Soleil!
Ice skating.
Need to keep my mind away from the fact that it's still four days left before
I'm home in Sweden so yesterday me, Allison and Kelly went for ice skating
at Hotel de Ville. Was the first time for Kelly and we had a lot of fun skating
around in the rink listening to club music and freezing to death because of
the rain.
In the two hour queue.
The ice skating queen!

After a long waiting we we're finally out on the ice. It was absolutely
worth it!

sweden at IKEA.
IKEA with my Swedish girls today. Some food and some christmas
shopping later are we all set to go back to our french life again.
Maybe not for so long this time since we're all leaving soon to
celebrate christmas with our real families at home.
I love my job and everything but I must admit that I will be more

musikhjälpen.
Lyssnar på musikhjälpen större delen av dygnet den här veckan.
Kan inte sluta lyssna. Detta år är temat "Alla flickor har rätt att
gå i skolan" vilket jag tycker är så oerhört bra. Ett viktigt problem
som ofta (så som många andra orättvisor vad det gäller jämställdhet)
glöms bort bland alla andra hemskheter som finns i världen.

christmas tree.
I decorated the christmas tree with the kids yesterday so now we have
the real christmas feeling in our house too. I also baked some swedish
ginger bred cookies so we're all settled to begin the vacation and celebrate
christmas next week (not me really, but the kids are free from the 17th, I
work until the 22th of december and going home the 23th).
Christmas!
lucia.
Yesterday me, Beata and Matilda celebrated Lucia (even though the
real celebration is tomorrow) in the Swedish church. It was really
beautiful and I'm so happy that I can celebrate swedish traditions
here too. Because, what would a christmas without Lucia be?
family pictures.
Some more pictures from the weekend with my mum and Per-Arne.

goodbye.
Mami has now left the building and her and P-A:s airplane is
probebly leaving just this minute. It feels okay though, since I
know that I will see them again in less than two weeks.
Now I'm heading for the swedish church.

visit.
My family is here, picked mum and Per-Arne up at the bus station this
morning. This afternoon have we eaten falafel, walked in Le Marais,
walked from Le Marais along the Seine, walked to musée du louvre,
walked pass musée du louvre, walked a little bit more and then we
drank coffee. A lot of walking but I guess that's the best way of
showing Paris even though the weather wasn't the best today.
Now I'm working a couple of hours and tonight we're heading

mamma.
Can't believe that I have a reunion with half my family tomorrow,
mum and Per-Arne is coming and I'm so exited. Haven't seen my
mum in four months (except on skype EVERY day...) and this is
the longest period I've ever been away from her. I know, I'm such
a baby but I just love my mum and I'm so happy that she's finally
coming so that she can meet my host family here and see the town
I'm living in. I want to show them everything, too bad Paris is so big
(what am I saying). I guess I will just show them the best parts this
time and keep the other lovely parts in a box until they come this
spring for the Paris marathon.
17 hours! <3
Bästa mamma.

...city.
Nothing beats a girls night with popcorn and sex and the city.
Realize now that the only thing I want for christmas (except
from my family and my best friends) is the hole sex and the
city box. Can't someone just send it to me, please?
snö.
Snöar det i värmland eller? (jag vet, urkass kvalite på min fina PSC bild
från facebook) Hoppas den ligger kvar tills jag kommer hem för här lär det
ju inte bli nån snö i alla fall verkar det som.
Knäck
As the christmas junkie I am I had to do some christmas candy now after
the second advent so I did some swedish knäck. Yummie!
Knäck.
Le Chat Potté.
Last night I had family night with my host family. We went to the cinema
all five together (the oldest girl was away this weekend with her school,
usually we're six all together) and saw Chat Potté, the new movie by Pixar.
It was fun and also the first 3D movie I've seen at the cinema. The 3D was
better than I expected. Thought it would be very bad quality and more irritating
for the eyes than fun but it wasn't at all. The quality was really good and I
will probebly see more movies in 3D in the future. Was a little bit funny though,
to take a two year old to a 3D cinema. He didn't really understand what the
glasses was all about so he watched most of the movie without them.
Afterwards we went to McDonalds and had dinner. Couldn't have ended

my weekend in a better way than that.
