The Breakdown

So, its been a funny bunch of hours these last 24 ones. Yesterday after Church we got home and our fridge was being funny, it was loud and not cold at all...all of a sudden it just died, the sound died, the cold died and some of our food died... After that happened someone noticed that our dish washer was leaking, which was weird since we have never even used it. so I opened it and turns out it was pretty full of rotten water which spilled over and now our rug needs to be washed because it was right there ready to catch the rotten water spilling onto our kitchen floor rug. This morning Kiddý and I were going to go find a new fridge only to find out that her car is broken down...we borrowed a thinger to try to charge her car or whatever, and that thing turned out to be broken as well...so we borrowed mum and dads truck and went in search for a new fridge, which we didnt find. When we got back we were gonna have hot dogs and found that the hot dog bread we just got the other day was rotten, so we ate hot dogs with regular bread..not too bad. After lunch I did the dishes and then realized the water wasnt going anywhere, the sink was backed up and the pipes were leaking so I put a bowl under there and got a thinger to fix the sink real fast...that was the least of our problems but still, pretty funny. Its been an interesting break down kind of day. kiddý and I couldnt help but laugh though by the time the sink broke. It felt really good, to laugh when things go wrong..like at last general conference, one of the speakers gave a talk about laughing when things dont go the way we want them to...it works.

BEWARE! Here come the Terrorists!

Since this is my personal blogg and outlet for frustration and junk I would like to say hooray for Gordon Brown! good for you man! way to go! Iceland loves you and appreciates everything you have done for us terrorists who had lost our way! You saw right through us didn'd you, you smart man you. We never really did want to pay you back, or anyone else for that matter, but you put us straight you angel of a man! super! now we can start from scratch, with nothing, not even a trustworthy name to build a better life on! ....

....breathe....relax...focus on returning to your peace and love attitude.....

ok wow, I feel better, don't you?

The Icelandic recession, not yet a depression...

according to my roomie Maliana, it's not a depression unless people are jumping out of windows....but seriously though, jumping out of windows in Iceland wont do very much harm....most people cannot get into a building high enough to do any sort of damage if they then jumped out of a window. I guess we will never have a real depression!

viva la recession...and non spidermanic surroundings.

ps. still havent heard anything more about the gas shortage...just that banks are trying to come up with life saving plans here and abroad, and the weather isn't getting any better.

The Icelandic depression as I see it

Things are getting pretty scary, which makes me so thankful there is a God and that He loves me and leads me today. My parents being as prepared as they always are, told me the other day that they were going to be getting their food storage in order. They incouraged me to do the same, which I did, and am now so glad I did. Bónus, one of the main "supermarkets" here in Iceland just announced that there is most likely going to be food shortage in Iceland since they cannot get foreight currency to pay for goods. More than one Bank is in serious trouble. The one I do business with was one of them but is apparently safe now. One bank was flooded with people today who wanted to take out their savings, according to the online news. Supposedly there will be no gas on the island after the weekend, which means we are headed back to the 18hundreds. At Ikea today most of the furniture is either "being ordered" or you have to talk to an employee to find out if they can get the item or not.
