And there was much amusement -Edited-
Well, my sister got on the train a couple of hours ago and should be "home" by now. It was a really good visit, albeit short. I think she'll be back in a month or so and the plan is to (hopefully) skip on over to the amusement park. That is if the weather will allow us to. Just talking to her about it made me itching to go, ugh.

It's funny... usually when she comes to visit I tend to get really anxious, because I don't want time to go to waste and [of course] it seems to fly by really fast. Yesterday there were actually several instances where I would look at the clock and be amazed at how little time had actually passed. Goes to show that you can enjoy yourself far much more if you just relax and go with it, than if you get all tense _^_

And we didn't really do much, but we had fun doing the things we did !

About the first thing I did was to play some songs from the Naruto soundtracks. (That's sort of a tradition in my family, to constantly share music and introduce each other to new stuff and remember old stuff.) If she had stayed longer I would've definitely showed her a few episodes as well, but having my younger sister hooked on it is good enough, I guess :p

Mom and dad went out to run some errands and I decided to suggest *cough*demand*cough* that we kids play Scrabble, which worked like a charm. Hehe, there were some comparison drawn between my oldest sister and dad. Both are equally competitive and try to get as many points as possible, whereas I and my younger sister just try to get out words. Some day we need to play completely off the rules, because the things we come up with and can't use (because it's not in the dictionary *grumbles*) is priceless, LOL.

A while after dinner there were waffles with whatever you wanted to have on them. That included strawberry jam, proper strawberries, whipped cream and ice cream.
I made the waffles *pose* Only half of the waffle mix was used, so there's still some left for a rainy day. Wazooo !


Later on in the evening my oldest + younger sister, myself and mom played a game of cards. (Dad was watching soccer and the older sister was being a recluse as usual.) Even though mom claims to be totally inept at any game, she completely bowled us over. We didn't stand a chance, much to my oldest sisters' annoyance, haha. Though no one had a clue on how to award points (we played poker... no idea what the version was called), so new rules were made. That is quite common, like so many other things, hehe. A game can become so much funnier if you have your own set of rules :p

By the end of the day my back was hurting so badly (it had been getting progressively worse since Monday, I think) and I begged mom to give me a massage. Well, actually... I didn't beg, because my mom is wonderful and she gave me a 30 minute backrub *happy sigh* After that I went straight to bed, temporarily free from pain, sleeping quite peacefully through the night _^_

Going for a power walk today with my oldest sister (who's a lot more fit than I am) was probably not the most brilliant of ideas, but my back survived *_*;;;;
Aside from that, most of the day was spent talking, laughing and eating good food. So I'm not at all sad that we didn't get to go bowling, since everyone had a great time anyway ^_^


EDIT: The Scrabble game is in Swedish, lol. So in addition to the regular letters we also have å, ä, ö. But I'm thinking about getting the English "version" when I go over to London :D

*spreads the Waffle mania further* Sorry Juuthena >_>;;;


Waffles to the People !
