Komin í jólaskapi
Today I am working on setting up Yggdrasil at Vikingaheimar, it being of course the original Christmas tree. I'm a bit proud of myself for coming up with this one, especially using mythological figures for ornaments.
Dett í, ofan á, úr, út
I´m not sure if someone had dett í (gotten drunk), or if það bara dett ofan á (it just sort of happened), or if some dett úr (forgot), but at any rate, my household goods dett út (have disappeared). Let's review the chronology here. Early August packers from the shipping company arrive at the apartment in Moraga. They load my 4 large plastic containers and 8 cardboard boxes, plus one baby crib, into their truck. I watch my things depart. In September, I ask the friendly girl (Magie is her name) if she happens to know when I might expect my stuff. Late September she tells me. I am most impressed. Extremely so. Mid October rolls around, and I have not gotten a call. And it occurs to me that I am going to be traveling through November. Hmm. So I call again. Well, yes, she tells me, looks like your shipment should arrive on the 31st of October. Now here I admit that maybe I was a little lacks. I had a lot to do before my trip, and so when they did not call me, I did not follow

Smá málfræði athugasemd. Þegar talað er um sjálfan sig eins og þú gerir hérna, þá er venjulega sagt og skrifað, "Komin í jólaskap". Það er einu "i" ofaukið hjá þér.
Ég veit ekki hvort að þú getur kynnt þér málreglunar í íslensku á internetinu. Annars sýnist mér íslenskan ganga bara vel hjá þér, miðað við hversu fáránlega erfitt tungumál íslenskan í rauninni er. Enda lendi ég oft sjálfur í vandræðum með orð og beygingar í íslensku sjálfur.
