The smell of X-mas

It makes my whole body tingle – you gotta love it. Me and Lisette decided to do a quiet Saturday and went to the cinema, saw Precious (brilliant but upsetting(shouldn’t I become a filmcritic?!)). On our way there we saw a corner where they sold Christmas trees and ran over there and sniffed one like we had never seen one before. The lady came up asking if we wanted to buy one – obviously we weren’t but we just looked so desperate for that wonderful scent she gave us a leftover tree stump to sniff when we want that tingly feeling again. I feel so Christmassy I should go and work in Santas workshop!

 

I was meant to put up a picture on our precious tree stump but this site is not cooperating with me so you just have to use your imagination.

Miss you

Right at this moment Mum and Felix are sleeping a few thousands feet up in the air on their way back to Sweden. I have had an amazing time having them here and they are already greatly missed but at the same time it is now getting very close to me being able to say: in 3 weeks I am leaving the big apple and heading back to Helsingborg. And with this comes a slight panic – I sooo have to do some studying but most importantly soo much more to do and experience here! So tomorrow Matilda and her sister Amanda are coming here so it is time for us to put on our good hostess and entertainer outfits – and party tomorrow!! GOD – only 3 more weeks –ahhhhh!!!

This was a great night Felix, doesn't always take that much. Thanks Brian!

Jag längtar så mycket till jul - få träffa er igen och tack såå mycket för en underbar vecka, jag har älskat varje minut av det - helt underbart! Kan inte utrycka i ord hur mycket jag har tyckt om att ha er här och saknar er redan super mycket!

 

Godnatt


Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

It is the last night here for Mum and Felix and we are soon heading off to Swiss restaurant to have as close to a real thanksgiving dinner as we can get. I woke up at Seaport Inn this morning reasonably early – it was fantastic to wake up in a hotel bed and then head for a hotel breakfast (not the best though). We then went to see the parade and it was scary how quiet town was down in financial district – not so much up by Columbus Cricle. We got to se glimpse of Spongebob Squarepants, a sausage dog, ice-cream cone and then we felt it was time to give up and head back.

Tuesday we went for another brunch at Alice’s tea cup (mums new favourite) and after that we went looking for the cable car over to Roosevelt Island and the weather was absolutely gorgeous. We walked almost all the way around the island and I liked it a lot – if I ever end up living in NY I can imagine myself a flat there.

Celebrating Felix's big day a little bit early

I will miss having some family here and i have had a great time this week! Thank you Mum, Dad and Felix for a fatastic week - Älskar er! Ses om 3 veckor och 4 dagar igen!

 

Lets go and eat some turkey!!!


Sunday came so fast

Daddy is right now on the airport and leaving the country within the hour – I have absolutely loved having him here and wish he could stay for longer. But duty calls and he had to head back to the land of Sweden. So now 9 pm me, mum and Felix are all in bed (not yet asleep though). Today we started with a breakfast at the all American diner and dad had his beloved Eggs Benedict and then a stroll down central park. Then it was time for mums dream to come true, so we went on a horse and carriage ride in the park – but mum was very picky with which horse would have the pleasure to take us.

So tomorrow it is finally time for some proper shopping at Jersey Gardens outlet mall.

I Have been waiting for this since I came, can't belive that it has already come and gone. See you dad in 4 weeks and 1 day!

So nice to know I still have Felix and Mum here untill Friday


Mummy, Daddy and ”littlely” brother aka Fillidawg!

Yesterday mum and Felix joined me and dad in nyc. We went for a meal on upper east side but they almost fell asleep by the table so we headed home and crashed in bed (sofa, mattress). And today I took them to Alice’s tea cup and we had scones and pancakes for breakfast and then took the Staten Island Ferry so we got to see Manhattan from the sea. Then we had a drink at my newly found jewel by South Sea Port. Next on our schedule was queuing musical ticket so now it is time to wake up family members to get ready for some 60’s rock classics!


Daddy's little girl!

Tonight dad arrives in New York City to spend a weekend with me and I just can't wait. I am looking forward to a weekend of eating, talking, walking and just having a great time and then tomorrow mum and Felix are joining us!
This morning while still in bed my phone rang, unknown number - which is always my dad - at a time when he should have been on his flight over here but he had missed his connection flight. My dad knows how to get his way so they got him on another flight this afternoon. I can't wait to see him - it is a very strange feeling thinking i have not seen him for over 3 months.
So the Prosecco is cooling down and i am soon heading out to get the honey roasted nuts and fancy chocolate! All ready for my dad-and-daughter-time!
Puss puss

Everyday life in the city

Another weekend in NY has passed and I am gonna give it up for Sunday – brilliant one! Ed was over for the weekend and woke up to sunshine and 20 degrees so we made our way down to Battery Park. We then walked north along the Hudson River and discovered a very nice square that reminded me very much of  North harbour in Helsingborg. Did the classic Ground Zero and then headed east – South Seaport and found this cute New Zeeland bar and grill. Can you believe we sat out eating and drinking in t-shirts in mid-November?!

Well on Thursday dad is arriving and on Friday mum and Felix will be joining us – I sooo can’t wait! And now I know where we will go if New York will be so kind to show us a nice and sunny day.


And oh yea - we finished the evening with live stand-up comedy at the comic strip live. I def recommend this to everyone - it is at 2 avenue btw 81 and 82 street.

 

Love!!


Good Girl

Yes, today I’ve only done good things! I went for a run this morning and then I sat down to start writing my press release – did you know I am the new CEO of Audi AG?! Then eaten lots of good stuff and done research… One factor that might have influenced my very well-behaving is that our cable is out so no TV *buhu*. But I quite like it cause I connected my Ipod to the TV and been listening to Jack Johnson, Dan Black and Kings of Leon. So hopefully in a bit I will be able to wrap up this press release and then tonight I’ll head down town to Les Halles for a drink.

I will save this press release so that when Audi will actually announce me as their new CEO they wont have to write a new one =P

XOXO

Lets try again!

Omg, it’s been a while, but I do have a good excuse: the card reader I use to transfer my picture has been lost and now magically appeared today and we all know how boring it is with a blog without pics so I wanted to spear you that. So a lot has obviously happened since then and I think it is easiest for me to just upload some pictures and then try to update this thing more often.

Hmm, i'm a fotball referee with a Rangers cap and a Yankees bat!

 

See ya later!
