Swedes Will Take Every Opportunity to Party and I'll Take Every Opportunity to Eat Cake


Holiday!  Celebrate!  Today is The Swede's nameday!  Each day on the Swedish calendar has a corresponding name and according to my SFI teacher one gets a cake on one's nameday.  I wish I could tell you more about this tradition, but I can't seem to find much information on the subject.  So anyway, I purchased the requisite princess cake, wrote a congratulatory message in gel icing and picked up a special dinner from our favorite Italian restaurant.  Plus I put on a dress.  And, yeah, it was overkill, but it's the dead of winter so you've got to mix it up.  Anyway, The Swede was super appreciative.
