I saw this on The Slush God Speaketh and thought I’d play along.

The rules:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don’t search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what’s actually next to you.

Okay, here’s mine:
“Þegar Sigríđur kemur heim kl.7 eftir langan vinnudag er Jón búinn aÄ‘ elda matinn og hún fer beint aÄ‘ kvöldmatarborÄ‘i.”

I think it says, “When Sigríđur comes home at 7:00 after a long work day, her husband Jon…” and then I have no idea. But honestly, I’m thrilled that I can read any Icelandic at all.

Rob and Dad are both still sick. I think it hit Rob harder than Dad because Rob spent most of the day in bed. He’s got a horrid sinus headache. I think Dad is just as congested, but it doesn’t make his head hurt the way Rob’s does.

The last of our boxes arrived today, but no party favors. I’m afraid that I put them in an Iceland bound box. What will I do with Christmas ornaments in March? Besides send them back home. Oh well, at least I’ll have a head start on next year.

Besides that, nothing terribly exciting happened today. I went to the post office and cooked dinner…um. That’s about it.
