Creatures of Routine

Amos Bronson Alcott once said, “The less routine the more life.”
I LAUGH in the face of less routine!!!! OK,not really, actually I find myself ready to cry in the face of less routine. I'd say we have pretty exciting and not boring lives. Well I suppose our daily lives are pretty boring, breakfast, work, gym, dinner...and weekends we add in a bottle of wine. (ya, sounds boring) Friends will come in from out of town or we will go visit others and we still have to go to the gym at night and be in bed early and say no to going with anyone last minute, and people have to beg us to go to a bar and we still say no because, well its not part of our routine. BUT, I will say, our overall lives are pretty exciting. We have done a ton and seen a lot for our young age so I think we are doing alright with being creatures of routine and if you know us, you know we thrive on routine and go crazy when we don't have one.

All that being said, I think we FINALLY got a routine down here in the 'ol SAS Radisson!!! yippee!

So here it is:

*Wake up call

*Eat a HUGE breakfast downstairs (since it is our main meal of the day now) keep an apple and yogurt, on the way back up stop and get some coffee from the lobby with 4 extra cups for protein shakes (2 a day per person)and grab a croissant if they have one

* Michael leaves for work

*ALL DAY... Michael works, I do what needs to be done here, grocery store, laundry (still in the sink and hung dry, I don't mind it. Is kinda fun, Michael likes it too. He says it makes him feel "industrial and pioneer-esque", and yes, he has helped with it several times now.), set up stuff (netbank,and other boring stuff like that), send out old bills ect... Around noon or a little after, I have to leave the room so housekeeping can come and give us new towels, coffee cups, plates, and whatever else it is they do in here.. I can't stand not having something to clean, so I usually straighten every 3rd day or so... makes it more livable. :)

(Lunch usually consists of... the apple and yogurt from breakfast and the croissant from the lobby and coffee...and I usually find a little more from somewhere)

*Michael comes home

*Gym

*Dinner - avocados, cereal sometimes, crackers, cheese, fruit, sandwhiches sometimes, and other odds and ends I I've picked up... not a big dinner, but we are tired of eating stuff that is prepared for us.. so full of sodium or butter. I can't wait to get a kitchen back!!!

*Bed

*Rinse, Repeat....


sounds terribly exciting doesn't it?

It seems that being in Europe should be sooo much more exciting then everything I have said and done since we got here huh?? And I'm sure it would seem that way if I didn't know the city inside and out and walked over and played in Central Copenhagen more often...and came back and wrote about all the new stuff I've seen and done.. but it seems sooo... not new!!

Ah, Copenhagen!!! been there...done that... I am so fancy! ;)
Perhaps I'll try to get out and find something to write about that everyone else might find interesting even though they might just seem so particularly Danish and ordinary to me...

Tomorrow is our 3 year anniversary!! I can hardly believe it. We have big plans too! I will, without a doubt, take lots of pictures! :)
