Passport and shopping

Was hoping that today's trip up the the Swedish consulate in Scottsdale was going to be my last, but no. I did file my application for an emergency, or provisional, passport. Because mine expired and i am not feeling like making a trip to Washington DC, i am taking a shortcut and getting this kind of passport. It will serve the same purpose as a regular passport but will only be valid for six months. Oh well, thats long enough for me to get back and make a new passport in sweden this summer. Since the consulate is only blocks away from my favorite mall here in AZ, i figured i might as well go shopping. I am going to miss this mall and the fact that every store is not packed with people. I hate shopping when its busy but i guess i will have to get use to that again.....

Hopefully i will be able to pick up my passport in the middle of next week and with that in hand all our paperwork and endless applications and dealings with government agencies are over! So looking forward to that!
