Living Room: No Ordinary Day..

Today started off like any other.. I woke up, I walked Nemo, I spoke to Em on Skype and then I just stayed in bed.. which was a little out of the ordinary for me. After a while, I finally dragged my ass out of bed to get onto my karting addiction, have a little breakfast and a coffee. That is my friends.. when things started to really go off plan. I pressed the button to start the coffee machine, which felt a little funny but I didn't think anything of it.. I made my coffee, got my breakfast and then went to turn the coffee machine off, only to discover that the on/off button had actually brokened and no longer worked! Curse me and my superpowers! Sometimes I forget that I am a superhero and have to be careful with human things. I took the front panel off, to discover that the face plate has special screws.. well poo. I threw my hands in the air and went and parked on the couch, called Pinko on Skype and loaded up Mario kart for a little karting fun! Ate my breaky while gasbagging.. then I got stuck right in kicking that Pinko tush!

Race after race. Curse word after curse word. Bananas, blocks and shells being flung all over the place.. occasional a bomb was let off. Many rain clouds came in and ruined our lives.. more so for Pinko, coz she was often trailing. Way to kick a kart when its down right?

Next thing I knew it was time to walk Nemo all over again.. so I went and got a new roll of poobags out of the drawer.. only to discover that each and every one had NO sealed end. Just an endless tunnel of poobags. Luckily I still had other bags.. which are the emergency bags incase we ever run out expectantly. I think this qualifies.. don't you? After telling Em about it.. she said, things can only get better right? All I could think was I was going to slip and fall and die while walking Nemo.. ok that was a little dramatic but you get the drift.

The walk went smooth.. then I needed to drop Nemo off and head to the post office (not the average post office, its more a smokes and betting shop that also does the post) to pick up 2 packages that had come for yours truly.. I sure was felling spoilt. Actually I was a little nervous for one of them, coz it could only be bad news. I get the packages and walk home.. all the while feeling like shit and not really wanting to open it. It was far too soon to be getting it was all I could think. Nothing good could come of it. I walk in the door and slap it down on the table and just look at it for a few minutes.. then I decided to open it.. rip it off like a bandaid right? Good news, bad news, its just news and you have to deal with it either way. I ripped in and discovered...

Yes! I had in fact been accepted to be a Swede! I am officially a Swedish citizen! That's right folks.. I am now European! Don't I look fancy? LOL

I sent Em a picture message and then Skyped with her. It was all very exciting.. so exciting that the naughty little petal was unable to go back to sleep! Gosh! After getting off Skype with her, I went and had some lunch and spoke with Pinko again while having some celebratory karting! Oh and a beer.. yup I totally drink and kart.. so sue me!

I really couldn't believe how quick the process was for me.. I only applied a few weeks ago, and on the piece of paper it says I have already been a Swede for over a week! I can't blame them.. I would want to snap up a superhero too if I had my own country! I hear so many horror stories when it comes to visas and citizenship and just in general immigration stuff.. but all in all I have been really frakkin lucky.. they seem to process me very quickly. I guess I am quite the keeper! It can be hard being this awesome at times.. but I manage.

Now let's move back to the other package.. it was from Pinko and in there, she had very kindly added more chocolate fish.. in the hope to get more photos like this one I bet! [click me] Also there were moustaches.. one for each day of the week.. stayed tuned for pictures of that! Moustache pins for on a cork board.. I best get on to buying a cork board now to place these awesome pins! Little pink dog post its.. I guess I just had to get something pink from Pinko.. right? More Eclipse mints.. 2 flavours that Em has not tried yet.. Berry & Cool Breeze. Should be fun! Not as fun as Turkey Gumballs tho! More Curlies! And last but not least the tea towel that she thought was an apron.. someone obviously went shopping with their eyes out!
