Monday 24th~~

o_< Phone rang. I barely managed to open my eyes to see it. Mum asked me if I wanted to come with them for a nice walk to the arboretum. Hell yeah I wanted to! I just needed to wake up a little and get out of zombiemode :P A piece of chocolate helps a long way :3

A little drive back to where we used to live many years ago. Mum had picked up some maps that showed 17 posts to follow around a course. Kids got one each and showed us the way, kinda :P

Mum had this clever shortcut through the forest, which in the end took out us to the wrong part of the course, just because we went into the forest about 3 meters before the right shortcut XD

But it was a very nice 'shortcut' :3 Gorgeous path. Took us out to this cute little café. We walked down to post 1 and started from there. Halfway through or so mum took us to this 'secret' spot. It's like 700 meters off the main path, up and down steep hills and ended by the sea. Absolutely gorgeous place, but today it was extremely windy. Mum had brought breadrolls, cocoa, biscuits and chocolate ^_^ You need a Kvikk Lunsj (chocolate) when you're out walking!

It was cold, wet, warm, windy, cold again, etc throughout the day and we walked a long way, so I had a bag with me that Ziggy sat in :P Little dork loves it so much. He's outside, sees and smells everything, but doesn't get cold or wet. Perfect world.

We did the rest of the posts and enjoyed the walk back to the car. It's always fun with the kids :) We were all pretty tired when we got to the car. Stopped by the store on the way home for dinner and an energy drink. God damn I needed that XD

My lil sis has saved up for a Mac, so I played with her before dinner. I helped her draw clothes and stuff for some game she plays. It was nice, she tried herself afterwards too and learnt a lot. So I think she's gonna have a lot of fun with that :3 

Later when I tried to leave they grabbed a leg each and wouldn't let me go. I dragged them back and forth around in the house, falling over a few times, it was great XD At every chance they grabbed back on, stole my shoes, did all they could to keep me there. Bless. It ended up taking so long that I asked if mum could drive me home.

We watched a whole lot of The Shield yesterday, and even more today. It's a pretty good series. I've seen most of the episodes before, but that doesn't matter. I was gonna make some food, then I decided to fix something on one of my blogs, and hell if I could fix it >_> Tried everything I could think of before resulting to nerdhelp. Thank god for that, 'cause that fixed everything :3 Thank you nerd. It was really grinding me, I hate shit like that XD The smallest little thing, but it just annoys you so much that you wouldn't be able to stop thinking about it. Feels pretty great when it's fixed :D

Well the guy called and said if i wanted to, I could get a 3.0 USB network adapter.  If I do get this, would my speeds decrees?   I have about 4 to 6 usb items plugged in to the computer (i think its the 2.0 slots though).  I love to game and stream my artwork.
