Best of KinSweden #1: Babygate 2008
A combination of nervous energy about having a week off before starting my next class, waiting for the results of the one I just wrapped up and waiting for a phone call from home have made me think that I should pull the blogs that I have done on other sites over to this blog and delete them in those various other places. It might be as pointless as reinventing the lightbulb or as ridiculous as a 12 year old musician putting out a "Best Of" album. Either way...I am doing it and you all will read and love it. So there!
I am starting out with something really fun that happened in Spring 2008.

Babygate 2008: A conspiracy involving Peeps
Posted: March 27, 2008
I hate Peeps.
I know...I know...me and 5.5 billion other people on the planet! Hardly news almost a week after Easter!
So why exactly am I blogging about it? Because this morning I woke up with one thought on my brain...I wonder where the box with my Peeps is now!?
You see, my big sister is five months preggers and has decided that I will find out the sex of my godbaby in a fun way. Everyone else knows but they have all been sworn to total secrecy. I am the subject of one of the greatest conspiracies my family has ever seen. Even my five year old niece is in on it. I have started calling it Babygate 2008. Neither side knows how long it will last, but both camps know how it will end...
...with pink or blue Peeps.
Babygate 2008: The Conclusion
Published: April 2, 2008
Babygate 2008 has come to an end. It was not pretty. There was mud thrown by both sides, shameless attempts to bribe my family and on going negotiations with the Peeps themselves. No, not really people. That would be crazy even for me. It was my sister pretending to be the Peeps! I got the slip that there was a box waiting for me on Monday. I was there when the office opened on Tuesday. (Sincere apologies to the man who stepped in front on me in line. I wish you a swift recovery.) I tore into the box, threw balled up newspaper over my shoulder like printed bullets (Sincere apologies to H's mother. I am sure that eye injury isn't permanent.) and tore open the pink wrapping paper covering the BLUE Peeps.

well, I'm converted! You are a fantastic writer and to boot, anyone that has a family as evil as yours apparently is from time to time, has got to have a helluva a blog! Keep it up!
I'm definitely a fan!!!
