Okay I was telling you guys about my first weekend home. That Saturday I went to my aunts’ 40th birthday party (my dad’s sister), it was so nice to see my grandmother again as a lot of the family. I went to one of my friends’ house that night for a while and then we went to another friends house meet up with her boyfriend and more people that we know, including one of my ex. It was nice meeting all of them again and we where there for awhile. On Sunday me and my mom meet up with my grandma and aunt and went to brunch at my uncles’ house. His wife can read into coffee cups and tell you your future! You drink a little coffee from this cup and then you blow in to it in cross and turn it 3 times over your head and let it dry for a while, then she tells you what is in your nearest future :o) Mine looks pretty good and I’m getting some visitors next summer!! How it is going to be I don’t know but I’m very exited.
I didn’t do much the rest of the week except to look for a job and I got one on that Wednesday at the main post office here in Iceland in customs, well when people order something online or somebody is sending them something it goes thru me. That is you have to pay taxes of everything you buy and bring to Iceland and if this is a gift we let the people talk to customs because they control everything in this. I just assist people and give them there packed when they are ready and charge them. I really like my job and the people that work there. Oh ye I’m also working 2 evenings at week shorting out the mail and I will be some weekends soon.
Enough of this, the weekend after I didn’t do much except meeting one of my better friends and hang out with her, her 2 daughters and her mom. As my friend lives a little bit out of Reykjavík she came here and picked me up and we where at her moms house, we talked and watch a movie.
The weekend after that was my grandma birthday party and I meet the rest of my family (my mom side). And OMG everybody is grown up 3 of my cousin have kids! The are twins sister that both have kids now, they are a year younger than I am and another cousin of mine has a girlfriend that has a kid and they are living together, he’s 2 years younger than I, and on top of that all the little kids are now teenagers!! God I felt so old but I’m only 24 and it looks like me and my sister and 2 sisters that are my cousin are the only one that don’t have kids and we are about 12 that are on the same age. But the birthday party was great and I loved all the cakes that we had there and the bread, I love Icelandic birthday parties with all the Icelandic food :o) My diet is not going so well right now but I trying to get back on track ;c)
But to keep going to tell you all about me that night one of my best friend (Elísabet) had a custom party and I was Chinese lady in my new china top. The party was great, I wasn’t going to drink but me friend said that she had enough beers and we would go to a club later where she gets free drinks!! As you all know me I never turn down free drink and I got pretty smashed but it was fun till I was trying to find somebody to drive me home. To make it short I ended on my friends couch as she lives very close to down town Reykjavík, we had talk about me sleeping there but it’s always good to sleep in your on bed :o) But this was nice as she made the couch and after few hours of sleep she drove me home. And like the week before I didn’t do much during the week as I’m working a lot but last Friday we had a staff party as 3 of me coworkers had birthday on Saturday including my boss :o) It was so much fun, we where telling jokes and they where trying to marry me, that is trying to find someone in the company that would be asset man for me! Everybody in Iceland do this so I just started to joke that they should just tell me when my wedding should be so I could show up on time ;c) But this night was so much fun and I can’t wait to see them tomorrow to talk about it. After the party me, Erna, Ólöf, Konni og Dabbi (people my age) went down town to dance a little, that is the girls danced and the boys stood by watching. On my way home I got lost as I haven’t really been driving down town and I was running out of gas! Great, this is so me but some how I got out and I found a gas station and finally got home around 3am. Saturday was spent sleeping a lot as I was very tiered after the week and today I haven’t done much except I helped my mom a little to clean out the garaged and I went to the movies with Elísabet and her 4 year old brother, we went to see the ant bully.
I know my live is not exiting these days but I’m happy to be home and I miss all of you a lot!! Se pleases write me and I will try to write back and leave a comment when you stop by here so I know that you are all still a live and well. I’m going to put in new photos today or Thursday as the dinner is almost ready. Take care and Martina I wish you all the best going home this week :o)
