The Christmas sale has started


Began the day at 7am (or so) with feeding the kid, then acting as a barf collector, as she enhanced the morning with throwing up on me. So I hit the shower, and managed to fall asleep again, only to get a rude awakening from the Mrs. at 9am. Apparently I was late, we were late. How can one be late for a relaxing day in the city?
Anyway, we got on our way to mom, left Klara there so we could enjoy a day just the two of us, and mom and dad enjoy a day with Klara.
No trip to the city is complete without checking in and out at IKEA, so we got that done, then headed to New York pizza, they make the best pizza I know of. By the way, the shop is run by a Hungarian family. :) After a giant pizza, we took on the shopping round.
The plan was to do Triangeln and the shopping street, then see "Yes man" with Jim Carrey and eat dinner out. After Triangeln, we still had one our until the movie would start, and all of a sudden we realised, that we wouldn't see Klara for another three-four hours. By the time we would have gotten home with her, it would have been time for her to go to bed. Also, I was pretty exhausted (real men don't do shopping well) and we got tired of the crowd and the shops turned upside down by shoppers. The parental hormones kicked in, we skipped the movie and blazed home.
Great day all in all, huh? Not even close to the fun, relaxed, romantic idea we had of today. At least Klara had fun, and mom and dad were thrilled, so I'm still happy.
