Back in NY
Vi ar tillbaka i NY. Jag fick en ordentlig sovmorgon idag. Wohoo, det har jag inte haft sen innan vi skaffade Thor (tack till basta husband!). Eftersom Thanksgiving ar over och det ar forsta advent imorgon, har jag julpyntat hela dagen. Vi tog ett brake och gick till en bar vid Wall Street. Vi satt bredvid tva tanter fran Sverige som borjade braka pa den bredaste Orebro dialekten (tror jag att det var). En bit bort satt tva svenska herrar och snackade fotboll och jag slar vad om att dar fanns en hel del andra svenskar langre in i baren.
Flygresan hem gick battre. Thor var tyst fram tills vi gick pa planet. Nar vi skulle lyfta och han var tvungen och ga in i sin carrier lat vi honom skalla tills hans trottnade och somnade snart. Vi kopte treats som skulle gora honom lugn infor forra resan, men de hjalpte inte ens efter hogsta dosering, sa vi kopte nya infor denna resa. De funkade inte riktigt for resan, men Thor har nu sovit hela dagen och varit jatte lugn (darfor jag passade pa att stada och julpynta, for annars atar han dammtrasan), sa infor nasta resa ska vi nog ge honom en treat tidigare an forut.
We are back in NY. I got a real good sleep in today. Wohoo, I haven’t got that since before we got Thor (thanks to the best husband!). Since Thanksgiving is over and it’s first of Advent tomorrow, I have decorated for Christmas all day. We took a brake and went to a bar by Wall Street. We sat next to two old women from Sweden that started to fight on the widest dialect from Orebro (I think it was). A little bit away from us there sat two Swedish men that talked about soccer and I’m sure that there was more Swedish people farther in inside the bar.
The flight home went better. Thor was quiet until we boarded the plane. When we were about to lift and he had to be down in his carrier, we let him bark until he tired himself out and soon fell asleep. We bought treats that would make him calm before the first trip, but that didn’t help even after the highest dose, so we bought new ones before this trip. It didn’t really work for the trip, but Thor has now been asleep all day long and been very calm (that’s why I took time to clean and decorate for Christmas, because otherwise he eats the dust wipe), so before the next trip we have to give him a treat earlier than before.
Thanksgiving 2014
Vi hade en bra Thanksgiving. Vi kom sent till vart forsta stopp, sa maten var nastan slut och kall, men det gjorde inte sa mycket eftersom Jim och jag skulle ha en andra middag senare och den maten ar alltid riktigt god och man vill garna ha space i magen:) Mycket trevlig eftermiddag/kvall.
We had a nice Thanksgiving. We came late to our first stop, so the food was almost over and cold, but it didn’t really matter that much since Jim and I was going to a second dinner later and that food is always really good and you should have space in your tummy:) Very nice afternoon/evening.
Happy Thanksgiving
A day in Chicago City
Igar tog vi taget in till Chicago City. Vi fick chansen att ga till Chicago Board Options Exchange (cboe) vilket var valdigt haftigt, update om det kommer imorgon. Vi hade tankt att ga till ett museum, men klockan hade blivit ratt sen efter en lunch pa Miller’s Pub, sa vi gick runt i city en stund. Varje gang vi ar i Chicago vill jag garna ga till kaffe kedjan Caribou Coffee, men till min stora besvikelse har de nu lagt ner alla Caribou i Illinois. Vi hittade tillslut ett bakery, jag bestallde en latte och det var det varsta jag sett (om jag hade serverat en kaffe sa nar jag jobbade som barista hade jag fatt sparken direkt).
Vi gick till marknaden med stadens Christmas Tree vid Daley Plaza. Vi fick aran att vara en del av Jim’s kompis som friade till sin tjej vid granen ♥ Vi gomde oss i folkmassan och nar hon hade sagt ja kom vi fram och gratulerade dem. Efterat akte vi till en champagne bar for att fira dem.
Yesterday we took the train in to Chicago City. We got the chance to go to Chicago Board Options Exchange (cboe) which was very cool, update about that will come tomorrow. We wanted to go to a museum, but is was so late after we had lunch at Miller’s Pub, so we walked around the city for a while. Every time we are in Chicago I like to go to Caribou Coffee, but to my disappointment they had now closed down all Caribou in Illinois. We finally found a bakery, I ordered a latte and it was the worst thing I’ve ever seen (if I had served a coffee like that when I worked as a barista, I would get fired immediately).
We went to the market with the city Christmas Tree by Daley Plaza. We got the honor to be a part of Jim’s friend that proposed to his girl by the tree ♥ We were hiding in the crowd and when she had said yes we came forward and congratulated them. After that we went to a champagne bar to celebrate them.
