I wish I had my own washing machine!

And I mean both for kitchen ware and clothes. I am now doing the clothes and it is annoying to jump up and down every hour to remember to get them. We have a shared washers, but not that many people use them so that is nice. I can pretty much do the laundry when ever I want, expect not too late at night. The problem is that I don't have that much stuff to wash, so when I do laundry it means I need to dry them at the same time (in the drier).

Not a problem either, but again with my memory I wouldn't be surprised if in couple of days someone comes knocking my door asking if I have forgotten something. It would be so nice to own the machine so that I can turn it on when it is full and let the clothes dry over night (no machines needed). Oh, well can't have everything.

I also would like to have the dishwasher as I am a bit lazy doing that. I don't mind doing it, as I do need clean plates, but its just if I start cooking there will be lots of dirty plates afterwords. And I do like to cook and bake... So not doing that too often. At home at least. And you wondered why I went to my grannies to bake... She has a dishwasher ;)

Also I help my sister and brother when they children have b-days. With help I mean I do some of the baking and sometimes play with the children so the parents can do what they need to do (clean, wrap the gifts, etc.). So no need to do too much baking at home. Still I wish I had dishwasher... Oh, well maybe one day when I own my own place, and not live in rental.

Fall is coming

It is getting darker by the day. :( Bye bye summer!

I am just happy that it hasn't started raining yet. Because everything would be really muddy and I don't like really muddy weather. I don't think anyone except for children like the muddy weather.

Other thing that happened to me the other day. A friend of mine asked if I wold like to go for a trip with her. Of course I said yes. Me and traveling are like BFF's. I don't think I would be able to say no, if someone would suggest traveling to me. Of course there is a catch. If I would do the same trip by myself, it would be more expensive. Its due to her work that she is able to get a ticket for me a bit cheaper.

The accommodation will be the normal price though. I hope that the price won't go too high up as I won't have any money left for the rest of the month. If I would go by myself, I would probably find a Hostel where I could stay. As they can be really nice as well. You don't always need to stay in Hotel. But I think my friend might not like those... Need to check that out. It would be cool because then the weeks stay wouldn't cost over 150 euros.

So if you have any suggestion for the accommodation in LA, NY or Miami, let me know! Also I am interested in hearing about places what to visit. I know that we should take Go (city name) card. Those I have already found.

My phone

Before the summer came my old phone had started to look a bit bloated. Which is not a good sign when we are talking about electronics. So I decided to buy a new phone. It actually was the first phone that I have bought myself. My ever first phone came from my sister as she got a new phone. Then the second one, my dad bought for me as the first one stopped working.

I used my second phone for four years before it was time to buy a new one. I had to buy a new one as I was going to Florida (exchange student thingy) and I needed a phone that would work there as well. The phone that I had was 2g and I needed 3g so that it would work. My dad bought that for me too. (Nope I am not daddy's little girl who gets everything by asking daddy to buy.) I had to search for the phone myself and it had to of certain prize range.

That phone was brand new when I went to Florida. It took me six years to destroy it. I think that the weather in Grenada didn't quit fit to it. After clearing most of the boxes and having bought the necessities I started to look for a new phone. Let me tell you, that it was not an easy task. Nowadays the phones have so many features that you can only speak for few hours before you have to recharge your phone again.

That being the main issue for me, I searched through the web (well, I am Finnish so, I search through Nokia's website). I almost lost all hope, until one day when I was grocery shopping, I saw this phone. It was almost black (with little bit red), not too big and what was best, you could talk really long without recharging it (I think it was something like 12 hours or so). The phone was Nokia X3. The first thing that I did when I got home, was go online and order it from where ever I got it cheapest. Then two days later the postman knocked my door and gave me the packet. (Well, he didn't knock because I was outside waiting for it to come and the guy just looked at me once and was like "you waiting for this." and I was like jumping up and done "YES!". But it sounds better if I say he knocked and I don't look that desperate.)

See, it is really easy to make me happy
