Wednesday night bliss


Wednesday night. Home alone. Chocolate, a huge glass of water and Alice in chains playing. The world is not half bad. I work late on Wednesdays, so when I get home we usually watch a Buffy episode (yes, we are dorks and are stuck in this neverending loop of the fantastic world of Joss Whedon) and go to bed. But today Sindre is in Oslo, watching some short film or something. I kinda forgot exactly what it was, but it was something film related. I had planned on scrapbooking, but since waiting for Qk stuff is like waiting for Godot sometimes, there will be none of that. So now I'm just relaxing, browsing the web for inspiration and doing some laundry. I need to get to bed soon. I'm getting up at 7 tomorrow. Yikes.


Sindre took this picture of me yesterday, when we went for a walk. I'm pretty happy about this one, and I rarely like pictures about myself. Must scrap it, then :)


We're having rainy and windy weather here, so I'm guessing summer took a break and is coming back when I end my vacation and am stuck in the storage room at work 10+ hrs a day. Hooray for the Norwegian climate.

May the Force be with you



It's such a wonderful day here. The sun is shining, birds are chirping. I'm listening to Aimee Mann while trying to create some projects for Qk, but it seems like I've lost my mojo lately. I've been reading "Designing with type", drinking tea and just chilling out. I love those Autumn leaves idea books. The owner of my local scrapbook store gave it to me for free! She is awesome.

Sindre has painted the hallway and cleaned the windows today, and I did a huge cleaning here yesterday. The house is really getting in shape :)

The other day we went to Toys R Us to get Niklas a birthday present. Man, I can see why kids go nuts there! We ended up getting him a couple of cool Lego cars. I totally wanted to get him a lightsaber, but it was too pricey. I guess I just want him to be Star wars geeky like me, lol.

We are treating ourselves to a restaurant visit tonight. I think maybe Indian. Yum.

Summer lovin, happened so fast


Summer has finally hit Norway!! I, however, have been up in my extremely hot scraproom for the past 4 days, finishing quite a huge lot of QK stuff.

We took some pictures in the garden on Sunday. It was so much fun. (And yes, the lawn is now mowed... it was like a jungle there, lol)

This weekend, unless I get more QK stuff to work with, I will help Sindre paint the hallway. We've been putting it off for so long now, that we simply have to do it. We're getting new kitchen interiors soon too, so the hallway needs to be done by that time. Sigh. We are treating ourselves to a eating out on Saturday though.

Work is as hectic, unbalanced and frustrating as ever. I am getting my high school grades today (somehow I lost them), and then I can send out my applications of interests. I will take any job that doesn't involve food or phone sales. Yep. I'm Flexible Girl from now on.

Have to go... Need to buy mosquito nets and summer duvet before I start work.
