This morning I thought I'd learn a little Swedish to ease my transition. I searched "Swedish lessons" on Youtube, and the first promising video was entitled "Mastering Swedish Part 1." This started confusingly but hopeful – a voice saying to repeat a sentence in Swedish. Then another, strange voice replied to the recording, desperately saying "No, no." Of course the video turned out to be a man making fun of learning Swedish. Leading me to today's life lesson:
Life Lesson: When searching for a video on Youtube, always read some of the comments at the top to get a feel for whether it is serious or not. Had I read all the comments talking about how funny it is, I probably would have moved right along. (After watching it of course.)
Today is a joyous day. Mark it down, for I am giving you not one, but two life lessons. Here's the second:
Life Lesson #2:
Old Navy closes at 9.0o pm. Every day. Or the one in Brea does anyway. I'm on a clothing hunt for Will (who is the only person who would ever ask me such a thing), and was thwarted in my attempts to shop for him last night. So I ranted about American stores shutting too early – side note, most Americans don't like it when you rant about their culture; that's their territory – and how everything was open much later in the Middle East. I neglected to mention that in the most of the countries I grew up in everything closes between 1 and 4 every day. Probably a little more aggravating on some levels.

It is most inconsiderate, irritating, and irksome that you do not update your blog AT LEAST every day. Please take into consideration the loss of a very avid reader if you do not reform your writing habits.
hahaha, that's so funny because I have recently been complaining how things close too early here and yes I definitely keep it quite that we have the weird hours in the afternoon.
hahahaha "Halo end Walkom"
Amadeus,
if cannot even comment every week, why should i be held to blogging every day?
Maybe you should blog and then we can be blog buddies and then when i haven't updated, you can get your fix by updating yours. something to think about.
llama – nice to hear your voice.
It's true though, Siobhan. You have zero blogs for days, and then all of a sudden there are THREE new ones to read and I don't know what to do with myself.
By the way, the more times I go into Old Navy, the more I hate it. Just stop shopping there.
Actually I CAN comment every week. But comments are special. And you'll just get fat if you get too many of them. So keep blogging, and I will comment when necessary.
Also, I have thought about a blog. And that is all I will say.
Emma Catherine: Do not tell me you have a secret blog. I will stop talking to you.
Emma Cole: don't hate on ON
