post från sverige idag!
i have been getting requests to WRITE MORE and POST PICTURES.
well, i am not in sweden yet, so i dont know how interesting things could get, but i will give you an update!
my favorite part about today was that the savory scone at tealuxe was pear + gorgonzola..[haha! i am kidding! Eli will appreciate that!]
my real favorite part of today was the mailman brought me mail from sweden! it was my paper work for my insurance and work visa! things are getting formal and i am getting giddy!
bad news for my cooking class. . . CLASS IS FULL! ugh.
so, when life hands you lemons you make LEMON CHIFFON! i have been spreading the word to friends that i, colette will come into your kitchen and prepare dinner for your family/roommates/large groups of people! i need practice, tips, advice, and what a reason for a social gathering! my first get together is with liz and her boyfriend who is a CHEF! perfect!
i am not completely hopeless in the kitchen, but just a little intimidated by cooking meat and i feel there could be room for improvement. i want to impress the family!
i know i sent an email blast about collecting recipes. i have been adding them to my "favorite dinner dishes of my loved ones" so i can cook and eat your top dinner choices in stockholm! dont be shy! i can never have too many!!
i have signed up for a CPR/First Aid class! cooking, saving lives, learning swedish. . .
I AM READY!
i am getting together little mail packs for the children! which will include photos, a letter (in swedish so i can practice!), sweets and other good things! i hope to be pen pals before we meet in january! i can not wait to meet the children!
a little change of plans on the december whereabouts. . .
i will be in ALBANY, NEW YORK selling Lindt chocolate at Nate's shop! He has graciously invited me into his store for holiday help and the paperwork is already being transfered!
Perhaps Bill will come back for the fun and it will be like the good old days like it was in Vermont! [oh lord. . .]
boston! one month + 18 days to go! >>
I dreamed I was off to California to see Brieanne! It is her birthday tomorrow, and just in time, I remembered how to say Happy Birthday in swedish!:
GRATTIS PÅ FÖDELSEDAGEN!
[hopfully she gets this at the library in san francisco tomorrow! xoxo]
i have been taking photos with my Holga camera lately, so i have photos of my new neighborhood and journey to work. [see top. . .i am new at this uploading photo thing, so forgive me for the random placement!]
Happy October!
xoxo.

sorry i never got back to you about the music switch. on the other hand i know you have 2342343 other things going on and you probably aren't sitting around waiting for my email. alas, i am still formulating a list.
hope your departure preparation is going well!
hey beautiful!
alas, it is me! said birthday girl! except i am belated in reading this but hell babe at least i'm here now and can check out this blog, hopefully still when you are in sweden. will you still keep posting once you're there?
thank you for the text this morning, and for remembering my phrases. you're the only one who has ever remembered them or said them back to me and now they are our secrets so i won't post them here but I LOVE YOU! and that's that
