Today was a day to just relax! It was so nice to just be. I also got started on eating the billons of pounds of chocolate that I got for Christmas... Wow that's a lot of chocolate!!! But it's all really good, so that's good... Oh and I skyped with SHELBY!!! haha I guess they got a lot of snow in New York. Nice.

Today while Juha and Susanna dropped one of the cars off for inspection, they dropped me off at a kirpputori I had never been to before. It was a red cross organized kirpputori. A lot different from the one here! Instead of a bunch of different booths keeping each person's stuff separate, all the stuff was organized like a real store. It was a lot easier to find things... but I do like the other way a bit better... It's more like a treasure hunt if it's not all organized. I got a really pretty scarf, and another book... I keep buying these books, later to realized I can't read and get bored with it cause I'm not really sure whats going on... But the kirpputori was great!

Another relaxing day. Walked the dogs... ate chocolate... Made pizza! I made it American style, with the toppings ontop of the cheese. It was a mushroom and pepperoni pizza, and actually really good! Oh and extra cheese! I tried to stuff the crust like Pizza Hut dose it, but it didn't work to well... But my family really liked it! Here the popular things to put on pizza is ham and pinapple, then the cheese on top. That's good too, but I'm not sure pizza is pizza without pepperoni or extra cheese. : P

Today was a Tampere day. Took the bus with Roosa. Once we got there she showed me where one of the kirpputoris was, it was similar to the on in my town, but most of the prices were a lot higher, that's probably cause the city people have nicer clothes... That's just a theory. Then Roosa went with her friend and I toured the shops finding all the great after Christmas sales. It was super busy in some stores... some I just ended up walking right out of cause there wasn't any room for me. Great day though, and I also found Cocoa Puffs at the Lidl! Yummy

New Years Eve!!! Today was great! around 6 some of the family's friends came over and we had tacos for dinner. Then movies and Roosa, Pauli (the friend's son) and I set fire crackers off. My favorite type was this one was 'Perhonen' (butterfly) you light it, then set on the ground an it spins and spins, and then starts to fly around for a little while... sooooo cool!!! Then around 12 we all went outside again for the real fire works! They were so big! and so close! Everyone in Finland were setting them off too cause in every direction, all you could here were them going off. But ours were the best! Then back inside to toast for the new years. Then, my favorite part, was they light the fire place, and once that gets warm enough, they have these horseshoe-shaped pieces of tin that you melt in the fireplace in this ladel. Then once it's all melted, you quickly dump it into a bucket of water (or if you're outside the snow) and then you look at it and predict what the next year is going to bring! So cool! Mine showed that money and adventure is coming my way SCORE! : P Then we played card games and stayed up super late!!! I think it's the latest I've ever stayed up!
lauantai:
Well... not too much to say about this day... I ended up finally getting to bed around 7 in the morning... Then was too tired to do much else when I woke up around 12, breakfast, back to bed, card games, bed again. SLEEP!
sunnuntai:
And today I woke up early! Probably because I slept so much yesterday. It was such a great New Years, I really liked the tin figure part! Now I only have one more week of break till I'm back to school, It's weird that soon things will be "back to normal" But I'm pretty sure in New York they have to start school tomorow... hehe I plan on sleeping in! : P
