Queen of Rambles

Oj! So much for the belief that Sweden doesn’t carry cold medication. They do. It’s just different and hidden and not quite the same. Not quite the same is the same as different, isn’t it? I am making no sense. Don’t blame me. Blame the shot of menthol I took in […]

I think I forgot to run spell check last night. I wasn’t exactly in the right frame of mind.
Now I’m sick with a cold and am miserable. I have a tiny bit of nose spray left from my ear infection last year and it is making life bearable but I don’t know what […]

I may be a tad bit tipsy right now. I am finding it hard to type at my normal rate of speed. Mike’s decided that we need to use all the alcohol in the cupboard, so our two year old bottle of Kaluha was taken out of the cupboard and we each had […]

What a day. I’ve been up and down like a yo-yo, which is no surprise. I feel like a jackass for being so cranky and whiney and bitchy on a day like today, but what can I do? Certainly not be happy. September 11th will never again be associated with happiness. As […]

Another boring day in the life of Carrie. What shall I write about?
Turns out Jane and Mike were right. I started another period. Ugh. I’m an almost-30 year old woman. I should be able to read the signs. Yesterday my stomach hurt so bad I was almost crying and now I know […]

No, I don’t have menopause. My aunt does and that is causing problems for my uncle so he’s asked my mom if he can stay with her for a while. I hate this uncle and can’t believe he would have the nerve to ask my mom such a thing. He has treated […]

Ah nature! I’ve never been a nature girl. Not at all. I don’t like bugs or dirt or itchy plants. I don’t like climbing rocks. If my Birkies can’t get me somewhere it’s not a place I need to be.
That said, I had a really pleasant day out in nature. Maybe […]

I’m sitting here watching The Gilmore Girls and sort of watching the sub-titles at the same time. I often find errors in the sub-titles, but this one takes the cake.
A man says he works at Kinko’s. The subtitles say he works in a sexklubb.
Scary.

You guys all totally rock as friends. Thank you so much for your support after my emotional break down yesterday. I really hate those. Rationally I know that Sweden is not the source of all my problems. If I was in the US I would still be having emotional break downs, but […]

First of all, just wanted to say thank you for all the comments about the hair drying incident. I had a lot of fun doing it and don’t think I really deserve to get my butt whooped, but figure if I keep doing things like that to provoke bratty teenagers one of them will eventually […]
