Wow, today has been a very good day! I finally got out of the house for a long while, and took some time getting "lost" in Stockholm... Mentally, not physically, thank goodness ;) The weather was absolutely beautiful, and Daniel and I had planned to meet up later in the city to go to the opera, so I went a few hours early to enjoy myself in the city. Great choice!!! After spending $10 on a muffin and a bottle of water (yikes! But I enjoyed it ;) I sat in a beautiful outside cafe, which happened to be situated right under a grouping of big shady trees, with an amazing view of the city, the opera house, and beyond, and I caught up on my reading. It's a hard life ;) After doing a little window (and REAL ;) shopping, I met up with Daniel and we had a wonderful dinner before the opera in a sidewalk cafe... Herb-crusted medium rare filet steak, with snap peas and potatoes, all with a YUMMY spicy sauce! *salivation overload* ;) We had to make a run for the opera house, seeing that it was 5 minutes to door's closed, and while we were barely skidding into the doors, I spotted the coat clerk, and decided what a nice idea to get rid of my coat and purse for the evening! As I dropped them off with a Thank You, the man stood looking at me as if I were missing some vital part of this oh-so-friendly exchange... He wants payment for this??? *Psh* Luckily, Daniel stepped in to save the day by paying the now not-so-nice clerk guy a paltry $2 or something, and we barely make it inside. The opera was amazing! We got to see the final show of the season, and it was Verdi's "La Traviata" ... Beautiful beautiful beautiful! My camera's dead unfortunately, but I got some pictures of the royal swedish opera house, Kungliga Operan, online, so check em out!
The Outside:
The inside, from the stage:
And the inside, from the audience:
Upon our return, I was able to watch Claes make Daniel's birthday wreath... It is so cute! Again, my camera is dead, but I found a picture of what it kind of looks like:
Except it is not made with hydrangeas... It is just as cute though ;) If I can convince Daniel to let me post some pictures, I'll do that soon ;D Something tells me he may be hesitant though!
Ok I'm "off for bed" now (Amy ;D)... And it's 1:50 in the morning! Something tells me I will not be getting my recommended nine hours of sleep tonight! God natt, pussar o krammar!*
*Translation: Good night, hugs and kisses! :)

Hello Lana, I was sitting here before I had to be at work, its 4:13 am, reading how wonderful the opera sounded. I have always wanted to go!! But I don’t want to go to one on “Bakersfield” I want to go to one in Italy or something... well it sound like you had a lovely day! I love you dearly and miss you!! Good night and sweet dreams!!
love, Lindsey Lu
Oh, how beautiful it all sounds, Lana. What a cool experience the opera must have been! I studied "La Traviata" in Music Appreciation 101! ;) The opera house is amazing. Glad you had a good day. Your mom came over last night and kissed Morgan for a few hours. :) I kept hearing this smacking sound, and would look over and doggone it if she wasn't kissing him again! Poor baby is so unloved.
Love and miss you, girl. Hope you have a great weekend. Let us all know how church goes.
Eew Linds, I do not miss opening shift!!! :( Well Hopefully I gave you something to smile about that early in the morning ;)
Church was great Amy! (Besides the fact that most of it I needed a translator for, which Helene helped me out with) I'm hoping I will need translating less and less... but I'm not necessarily holding my breath on that one ;D Love you!
Well I just happened to be on here and I noticed that its time for you to get up and at em(if you havn't already) Have a great day sweets...Also I made a comment on one of your picts on fb(the one about the door to your lower-level apartment) but it doesnt show anywhere but on my page...where it indicates that I commented on it...weird huh? Oh well have a lovely day...
Is this Kacie? :)
