The cat food is too loud....

Hi ya'll,







(wall in Copenhagen)



As you may have noticed,I have gotten into a bit of a blogging slump. You know, I've been fat, depressed, moving and getting used to a new country....bla bla bla..yackity smackity. The reasons don't really matter. What matters is that I want to bust out of my slump and get back to normal.(whatever that is)




So, I have signed up to do Holidailies this year. I may do no more than stick up a picture and call it a post but I WILL be blogging every day from now until Jan.5th.



Holidailies is easy ,free and open to any blogger .More info below if you care to join in the Christmas fun.

Ok....on with my unslumping.

Last night I woke up at 3 A.M. and I could not go back to sleep.I heard the snow plow guys laughing down on the street,then I heard the snow plows,the metro trains,the side walk snow sweeper,then all got quiet for a second and what do I hear...the extrememly loud sound of a cat chomping dry cat food. I try to sleep...then my skin is too dry,my shirt is tangled,my pant legs are twisted,my pillows too hot. I try some more to go to sleep.....my husband starts snoring, my arm falls asleep,the cat starts drinking out of my water glass. Arrhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! I give up. It's very difficult to sleep in a small apartment.

That reminds me .....here's a couple of dumb things I've done since I've been in Denmark.

1. We have this intercom thing by our front door ,like on Seinfield. I've never had one before ,didn't know a thing about how it worked.Well when the cable guy had to come (2 days in a row) he rang the buzzer, I answered the little phone,he said "I'm down here."

Moron girl "Ok,I'll be right there to let you in."

I take the elevator down 10 floors and let him in the door,then we have to ride the elevator back up together. I did this several times.At one point he said "can't you open it from up here?"

Duh (I don't know)

Next time he rings the buzzer, I answer the little phone and tell him "Ok,I'm going to push this button ,you tell me if it does anything."

Cable man says " I'm in , it let me in."


(oh shit)

He will probably tell the story about the "stupid American " for the rest of his carreer.

2. The lighting in here is awful. I usually put my makeup on in the entry way mirror.The other day,the entry way light burned out. hubby was gone. I could barely reach the light bulb to remove it.So I try and try ,I finally get the thing unscrewed and oh great, it's some funky lightbulb we don't have. It has a big porecilin part on the bottom of it.

I search and search at the store. No luck. When hubby gets home I give him the "weird" lightbulb and tell him "I could not find one like that at the store."

After he got done shaking his head in disbelief , he informed me that the porecilin part was actually part of the light fixture .I had unscrewed that as well as the bulb.

Thank God I didn't bring the light bulb with me to the store.
