It's cold and dark out... So what did I usually eat for lunch in the States?! Your Chili of course. Now I 've got this huge craving for your chili so I had to take a look at the recipe you sent me. To my disappointment I realized that I can't afford all the ingrediets as a student.

So when I'm going home for Christmas I'm gonna make mom buy all the stuff I need so I can make my family Elise's famous chili. And then I think I need some banana bread while I'm at it.

Love,

Happy Thanksgiving, my awesome family. Had to call Sensei Jon twice today and make sure he would take pictures of the food he's cooking. And I must say that Thanksgiving is one of my favorite American holidays.

I'm thankful for having you as my (second) family!

Lots of love,
Kicki

I don't know if it's the season or the lack of money that makes me want to buy everything I see. It could also be the fact that I'm sick and have nothing else to do than rest... I've been doing some window shopping at Abercrombie and Fitch's and Urban Outfitters' websites. And I'm afraid I might continue on to more sites and want more things. I think it's time for me to go to Boston and do some shopping.

Beside that I found an apartment today that I want. So now I have to convince my dad that it's the best place and perfect for me and my sister, so that he can help us out with a loan.

As you can see I want to shop, and I'm pretty sure it's the lack of money... I hope the shopping will be as good as it is now, when I'll come and visit you guys in Boston soon. Hehe

What's going on?! I read that Brigham's is facing bankruptcy. Does that mean that their ice cream is gonna disappear?! Even though they stopped making Dice cream/Cursed reversed (was looking for it everywhere last summer and couldn't find it...) I still like their ice cream.

What ice cream are you gonna eat now, Elise?! Hehe

Just found out that there's a girl in my class from California. She got married to a swedish guy and move here eight years ago. It's a lot of fun talking to her since she's speaks swedish and english, hehe.
So I realized that Thanksgiving is coming up. And I must admit that I love Thanksgiving, it's so cozy with a little pre-christmas feeling to it. What I'm trying to say is that I have to ask Michelle from my class if she's gonna have a Thanksgiving dinner.

There's a video store down the street that sells imported american food and candy. They have cranberry sauce, mac & cheese and pumpin, and I just found the candy shelf with buttefingers, reese´s, laffy taffy, skittles and so much more. It's pretty expensive though but it's so worth it. And Starbucks is coming to Sweden. The first coffee shop is going to be at Arlanda Airport, the biggest airport in the country. Too bad it's too far away and too expensive to go there buy train or bus. But I could do almost anything for a Chai Tea Latte from Starbucks.

I miss you guys!

Just read that Sesame Street turnes 40 years old today. That's pretty amazing how it's still so popular after all these years, but I don't blame kids and adults (like me) for watching it since it's the best show ever!

Found a blog with these cute cupcakes on a blog. A good way to celebrate Sesame Street today!

It's finally time to posted pictures. I've thought you wanted to know how I live here in Kalmar, Sweden.

My room before:





During the make-over:





My room after:








Now my mirror won't tip over and brake again. It has a little safety belt, cute right?.

This is how I live right now. I have a small room, my own bathroom and share a pretty big but dirty kitchen with ten other students. But I do feel at home here. Notice that I bought the same dresser from IKEA that I had in Wakefield. That how much I love that funiture!! Hehe

Love,
Kicki
