IKEA and lots of rain

Well, we finally got the rain we so well needed. It has been raining a lot the last week, but usually not until the afternoons. But today it has been gray and rainy all day. Great for Florida!

Saturday we visited IKEA Tampa for the first time. I stocked up on mostly kitchen stuff, and we also got a lot of food at the marketplace. All topped off with lunch at the IKEA restaurant. Loved it!

Saturday afternoon was mostly spent playing a new Wii game called Kororinpa: Marble Saga since it was so rainy. On Sunday we actually managed to squeeze in a visit to the pool before the rain got going.

Today have been slow so far, rain and rain and more rain. I did have a guy over to replace my car windshield; it got a small crack last week, which quickly escalated into a very large crack across half the windshield in the heat. Florida law make sure you can get your windshield replaced at no cost, and they even come to your house and do it! Great!

I watched the movie Bride Wars and pretty much have done nothing else so far... Just feeling sluggish and not in the mood for anything, probably because of all the rain.

Going to get Sarah in 3 hours, and then I am sure she will want to play some more Wii. So not much going on at all today. Oh, I am making Swedish Bruna Bönor (brown beans) tonight, I have had the beans soaking over night. Yum!

Det låter som vi båda har en lugn måndag... Jag har inte gjort mycket produktivt idag, förutom tvättat och betalat en räkning (O litar inte på internetbetalningar här så jag får alltid gå till banken - ligger dock ett kvarter iväg så det är inte så jobbigt).
Härligt att ni äntligen fått Ikea i Tampa!! Tror du att ni kommer att åka dit ofta?
Kram!
PS Konstigt att ni har haft det så torrt, här har det varit så regnigt de senaste två veckorna - idag är det mulet men det regnar inte iaf...

Jag tror inte att det blir så jätteofta, det tar nästan 1 timme dit. Men ibland kan man ju behöva en dos svenskt, så det är kanon att det finns där!
