In Washington DC

Vi bestamde oss for att ta bussen ner till Washington DC denna gang. Den tar ungefar lika lang tid som taget men har free wi-fi. Taget kostar nastan mer an att flyga, sa det var helt enkelt battre att ta bussen for $30 (istallet for typ $250). Det tar ungefar 4,5 timma att aka hit, vilket kan vara vart det for er som ska till NY pa semester och samtidigt vill aka ner till DC for en dag. Aka tidigt pa morgonen och hem sent pa kvallen. Dock far man rakna med att saker kan handa, som typ att man far punktering. Vi stod i nastan en timme pa en bensinmack och vantade pa att service skulle komma och att de skulle byta dacket. Men, men….
Igar kvall var vi pa engagement party for Mike och Brook. Valdigt mycket folk pa liten yta, men det var trevligt. Kul att traffa personer vi inte har sett pa ett tag och traffa nya intressanta manniskor.
Nu ar vi pa hotellet. Vi har atit brunch inne i city och promenerat runt turiststallen. Underbart vader har idag. Eftersom maken ligger och vilar nu tanker jag ga ner och kopa en kaffe och satta mig i solen en stund.

We decided to take the bus down to Washington DC this time. It takes about the same time like the train and it has free wi-fi. The train costs almost more than flying, so it was simply just better to take the bus for $30 (instead of like $250). It takes about 4,5 hours to get here, which can be worth it for you who are going to NY on vacation and at the same time wants to go down to DC for one day. Leave early in the morning and home late at night. But, you have to count on that things can happen, things like a flat tire. We were standing for almost an hour at a gas station and waited for that service would come and for them to change the tire. Oh well….
Last night we were at an engagement party for Mike and Brook. A lot of people in a small space, but it was nice. Fun to see people we haven’t seen for a while and meet new interesting people.
Now we are at the hotel. We had brunch in the city and walked around tourist places. Lovely weather here today. Since my hubby is napping now I think I will go down and get a coffee and sit in the sun for a little bit.

Hej mina vanner! Hur mar ni? Jag mar bra. Kanner mig lite ur form bara. Var borta fran traning i lite mer an en vecka pga att jag drog ut visdomstander. Later kanske konstigt men sant. Den ovre tanden ar kopplad till bihalan och jag fick inte bli forkyld, snyta mig eller nysa och nar jag tranade eller gick ut pa langre promenader borjade nasan att rinna, sa jag holl mig helt enkelt borta fran traning. Sa nu har jag traningsvark i hela kroppen fran de senaste dagarna, hahah. Dock, nar jag ar uppochner (i tex. yoga) kanns det som att bihalan ska sprangas vilket ar lite obehagligt, sa jag tar det lite easy med just det.
I helgen ska vi till Washington DC. Thor ska fa vara hos en dog sitter vilket jag ar lite nervos for, men han kommer sakert ha riktigt roligt dar. De har tva egna sma hundar sa Thor kommer (forhoppningsvis) ha tva nya bastisar efter den har helgen. Det ska bli kul att komma ivag, bo pa hotell och umgas med min man. Jag har varit i DC en gang forut och gjort allt man ska som turist, men jag har tva saker pa min lista som vi inte gjorde forra gangen. Saklart ska jag latsas att jag ar Leslie Knope hela helgen ocksa 🙂

Hi my friends! How are you? I am great. Feel a little bit out of shape though. Kept myself away from working out for a little more than a week because of that I took out wisdom teeth. Maybe sounds weird but true. The upper tooth is connected to the sinus and I was not allowed to get a cold, blow my nose or sneeze and when I worked out or went for a longer walk I got a runny nose, so I simply didn’t work out. So now I have workout pain in my whole body from the last few days, hahah. But, when I’m upside down (in for example yoga) it feels like the sinus will explode which is uncomfortable, so I’m taking it a little easy with that.
This weekend we are going to Washington DC. Thor is going to be with a dog sitter which I’m a little nervous about, but he will probably have a lot of fun there. They have two small dogs on their own so Thor will (hopefully) have two new bff’s in the end of the weekend. It’s gonna be fun to go away, stay at a hotel and spend time with my husband. I have been in DC once before and done all the tourist stuff, but I have two things on my list that we didn’t do the last time. Of course I’m gonna pretend that I’m Leslie Knope for the whole weekend too 🙂

dancer in new york

Fanny Sura12 March, 201524 March, 2015Leave a comment

Under 16 timmar av dygnet tanker jag pa dans, och ibland drommer jag om det ocksa. Den senaste tiden har jag mest tankt pa all dans och konst jag inte gillar, vilket i sin tur inte direkt hjalper mig och mitt skapande. Att bli inspirerad av saker man inte tycker ar bra, ar svart. Jag har inte sett en bra forestallning pa valdigt lange. Senaste var Sylvie Guillem pa Lincoln Center som min van Monika och jag var pa 2012. Det finns otroligt mycket dalig dans har i New York. Alla vill kalla sig dansare, alla slass om scenerna och de som faktiskt ar bra kommer i skymundan. Jag vet inte vart jag sjalv skulle hamna pa den skalan. Ar jag en av de basta eller ar jag samst? Eller annu varre, ar jag gomd nagonstans i mitten? Formodligen i mitten, dar hamnar de flesta. Jag har riktigt bra utbildningar i ryggsacken, men det garanterar mig ingenting. Jag ar dessutom en utlanning med erfarenheter som ingen vet nagot om.
New York ar staden dar allt ar mojligt, men det ar nog den svaraste platsen att forsoka gora sig ett namn. Jag trodde det skulle bli enkelt att flytta hit, men det har snarare gjort mig galen. Jag blir kvar har i NY i nagra ar till, for min man har ett bra jobb har, sa jag maste gora det basta av tiden. Det svaraste for mig att lista ut ar borjan. Hur kastar man sig ut i ett hav av hajar och overlever? Ska man borja med att simma? Ska man forsoka bli vanner forst? Eller finns det andra satt som ar battre?
Jag tanker alldeles for mycket.

During 16 hours of the day I think about dance, and sometimes I dream about it too. Lately, I have mostly thought about all the dance and art I do not like, which is then not directly helping me and my creative mind. To be inspired of things you don’t think is good, is hard. I have not seen a good performance in a very long time. The last one was Sylvie Guillem at Lincoln Center that my friend Monika and I went to 2012. There is a lot of really bad dance here in New York. Everybody wants to call themselves a dancer, everybody fights for the stages and those who actually are good are overshadowed. I don’t know where I would be on that scale myself. Am I one of the best or am I the worst? Or even worse, am I hidden somewhere in the middle? Probably in the middle, that’s where most people are. I have really good education in my backpack, but it doesn’t guarantee me anything. I’m also a foreigner with experiences noone knows anything about.
New York is the city where everything is possible, but it is probably the most difficult place to try to make a name. I thought it would be easy to move here, but it has rather made me crazy. I will be here in NY for some more years, because my husband has a good job here, so I have to do the best of the time. The hardest for me to figure out is the beginning. How do you throw yourself out in an ocean of sharks and survive? Should you start to swim? Should you try to become friends first? Or is there a way that is better?
I think way too much.

Hej hej

HEJ! Oj, nu har det gatt en vecka sedan senaste upplagget. Det har varit mycket nu, men inte sa mycket intressant att dela med er.
Bland annat drog jag ut mina vanstra visdomstander i fredags. Lite mer komplicerat denna gangen och jag maste vara extra forsiktig. Jim kom hem lite tidigare fran jobbet da for att ta hand om Thor, men en timme senare upptackte han att han blivit matforgiftad (vilket som tur var bara varade i nagon timme). Jag fick inte mycket vila den dagen sa i lordags lag jag och sov typ hela dagen. Igar tog jag med mig Thor till veterinaren. Han har fatt en oroninflammation. Sa, inte sa roliga updates, sorry.
Det snoade riktigt ordentligt forra veckan och jag trodde aldrig att varen skulle komma. Men sen dok den plotsligt upp tillsammans med att vi andrade klockan i helgen. Idag ar det stralande sol och det ska bli +16 grader (!!). Sa nu kommer nya krafter och jag ska forsoka uppdatera er mer om livet i New York. Ha en underbar dag!

HI! Wow, now it’s been a week since the last post. A lot going on, but not so much interesting to share with you.
One thing, I took out my left wisdom teeth on Friday. A little more complicated this time and I have to be extra careful. Jim came home earlier from work then to take care of Thor, but an hour later he discovered that he got food poisoning (which luckily only lasted for some hour). I didn’t get to rest much that day so on Saturday I was sleeping almost all day. Yesterday I took Thor to the vet. He has an ear infection. So, not that fun updates, sorry.
It was snowing a lot last week and I thought that spring would never come. But then it suddenly showed up together with that we changed the clock this weekend. Today is sunny and it will be +16 degrees outside (!!). So now comes new powers and I will try to update you guys more about the life in New York. Have a wonderful day!
