A break from the swedish winter

Ronny and I have been in New Orleans for a little over a month now.
We decided that the winter months would be a good time for visiting with the fam in hot Louisiana.

So many things going on, so much to look forward to back in sweden.

I've promised myself I really am going to put more effort into learning the language, this time around.

My limited vocabulary of,
"Jag förstår lite svenska men inte tala för mycket"
(I understand a little swedish but don't speak to much),
"Pizza och glass på Ikea, 10 kr, ja tack!"
(Pizza and ice cream at Ikea, for a buck 50, yes please!)...
...isn't really getting me to far.

I found these awesome dishes on sale at Macy's and at the spur of the moment decided to buy six sets of them (biting fingernails now).
Not really thinking how much of a pain in the ass (and expensive) it's going to be to get them all back to sweden in one piece.
All I was thinking was how plain and boring the cheap Ikea dishes are. Blaaa.
The only thing I could come close to finding that I liked was some at Indiska..




But for 199 SEK, $30 a plate(!) they can have em!
