Good evening, sunshines. The Earth says, "Hello!"  I've been totally and completely busy for the first quarter of school and have very much been missing you all and blogging ):
But hey look at that! Outfit post!
I went shopping with my friends today - Ebony, Alexis, and Ayesha - and that was quite the time let me tell you right now.  We stopped by TWG Tea Place in Ion and then went to a bookstore and chilled there for an hour or so and read magazines and children's books.
School has been pretty decent.  I signed up for my interim and  guess who's going to London in February? ME! Annika. That's who. I'm already trying to decide what to wear. Any suggestions my loves? Alexis will be joining me in London and we are going to have a jolly good time old chap. Look out, London. Annika and Alexis are coming your way!

Cheerio,
Annika

An Austrian went yodeling...

photos by my father

Yodel-a-hee-hoo!  I'm in Austria my friends.  With them lil ole Austrians, with them hats.  We drove from Budapest to Austria, and in true Hvide fashion something went wrong.  So, we were driving out of Mcdo, just innocently eating our bucket loads of fries and nuggets, when suddenly we hear a rattling noise coming from the back of the car.  So, we stop at the side of the road and my brother and dad walk out and check it out.  It turns out the cars back tire and hubcap fell off.  Just fix it, easy enough right?  Well, apparently not.  Apparently the rental car place forgot to give us repair tools and an extra tire sooooooo we were stuck sitting on the side of the road.  A sad poor little orphaned family, abandoned on the highway.  When suddenly a tow truck came and rescued us, our knight in shining armor if you will.  He towed us to safety (his garage), we were actually still in the car when he put our car on that little back platform, IT WAS SO COOL, and fixed our tire.  And we were off.  Off to Austria, crisis averted.  We're skiing at the moment, and I could not be having more fun!  I put so many layers on, I was sweating hahhaha. I could barely put my arms down, I felt like that kid in A Christmas Story.  But it was worth it for the snow.  We also visited a children's museum, an egyptian museum, and a castle where they kept Dracula imprisoned.  Quite cool, or shall I say cold? Hur hur hur, my bad jokes could not be any more fantastic XD

Warming my face next to Belle Époque ^_^

Today was a train day, so I decided to opt for something with a little layers.  This did not end well during the small photo session with my sister, because long story short it was -3 degrees celsius.  At one point a jogger gave me a weird look in the cold weather without my coat on, also somebody else gave us a weird look when I snuggled Brit's hood to warm my face and nose.  I pretended that it was not a look of those-people-are-really-weird-and-belong-in-a-mental-institution but a look that said that-is-one-cold-brave-soul-who-loves-her-sister.
Yes, I went on the train for 6 hours which was actually pretty fun.  I finished the book The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom (read it), played that word game on my fathers kindle, and then watched Star Trek with my mother and brother.  Also, I ate. A lot.  I can't pass up the food trolley, and the chocolate. Ohhhh the chocolate.  Why did somebody have to invent chocolate?  Anyway, I am now in Budapest!  Good-bye Prague, hello Budapest!  Much will be said later about that at a later date, but for now,  I need sleep.  Traveling always makes me so tired...even though the majority of what I do is eat...and sit...and occasionally get up to walk around the cart hallway.
as always much love,
Annika

ps. happy new year everyone :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! I had the best day.  To start it off my friend, who's in the states at the moment, called me at midnight (Singapore time) and then 7 hours later, my little sister comes into my room saying "ANNIKAAAAAA!!!!!! WAKE UP! EVERYONE'S AWAAAKEEE!!!".  To my surprise everyone was awake, for the first time in....forever my brother, my sisters, and my dad was awake before me.  I eventually got up to watch my dad make hot cocoa downstairs, then proceeded to tell my little sister to wake up my mother.  Once everyone was up it was time for presents!!!  I got some really awesome presents, one of which includes Photoshop!  My CD drive in my computer is being funky though, so I need to bring it into to the Apple Store and then I'll be good to go.  But for now, I will have to be satisfied with iPhoto, alas.  As the day went on, the house started to smell more and more like Christmas Ham.  Dinner was delicious, thanks Mommy, and the chocolate pie for dessert was even better.  All around a great Christmas.

I was in a good mood today, so I felt like some contrasting patterns were the way to go (especially some with red and green).  Tomorrow I'm heading off to Munich, and can't wait for the cold.  I have a Russian hat just sitting in my room collecting dust and screaming "PUT ME ON YOUR HEAD!!!", so I'm glad it's wishes will finally come true.

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas, let me know how it went. :)

Merry Christmas,

Annika
