Blank calendar

A new year. A new calendar. And nothing´s set on it. It´s all open. The only thing I know is that I´m having a baby soon. And then, I don´t know. What will be will be. It´s kind of strange, and kind of good not knowing. Feels like I´m standing on a steep on my tippy toes. Just about to fall. Free falling. Nor knowing how and when to land. It´s crazy scary lovely. Just trying to go with the flow. Taking every day as it comes. And maybe we´ll be making some plans after a while. I hope I will enjoy every day of this year. I just can´t wait for my life biggest adventure. Now I will try my hardest to relax and enjoy my last weeks of pregnancy. Today will be my last day at work for a year. Norway is the best country to have kids in. We´re blessed with that. 

InneUte

Sometimes things don´t work out the way you plan. And then all out of nothing comes something new.Like this. Trying to get a picture through a window. 

Be nice

I think I do. Work hard. And I see myself as nice to other people. Therefore I get really pissed when people don´t act the same way back. I think the world would be a better place if we all just were good to each other. Have a lovely week end. TGIF! 

Life

Days go by. So fast. So slow. Nothing happens. Big things happen. All at once. Slowly. Changes. Me. Us. Preparations. Happy thoughts. Frightening moments. Black. White. Life is taking over. This shall be the autumn representing life. Last autumn- the opposite. Memories rush closer as the day sneaks upon us. Halloween will always remind us of that wonderful person we lost. And miss a lot. I wish she could take part of the big thing changing our lives right now. Somehow I feel she does. 

Pauseinnslag

I feel like these balloons. Waiting for my energy level to increase. 8 working days left. Thank you for staying with me. I will be back on track soon I hope. 
Oh, I do have plans for summer. I want to fix our kitchen and our garden. We´ll see.  

Lenkekjærlighet

PrydeligÅshild innfører lenkekjærlighet over grensa fra Sverige. For et bra initiativ! De svenskene altså. Alltid et steg foran. Jeg synes derimot det minner om den nordnorske oppfinnelsen framsnakking. Svein er en super fyr, så mye positivitet og tro i den karen. Jeg synes vi må bli flinkere til framsnakking i Norge. Så lenkekjærlighet er supert. Det gjelder å framsnakke blogger du synes er gode. Her er 5 norske jeg alltid sjekker innom. Lenkekjærlighet til folket. 



Bloggugla-kul og særegen dame. Lager fine saker som henger. 
Babyramen-ofte en fin kopp på lager. Og annet flott. 
Dotty Love-en uvanlig kul norsk blog. Snadder. 
Brigg-alltid en knakende idé på lur. 
Lahras-min inspirasjon. Min venn. 

National day

We had a perfect national day. No stress, happy faces, flags, "bunad", friends, family (but missed mum&dad), cakes and norwegian "lapskaus". Today I have friends coming over for brunch. I must get up and get the house nd food ready. Hurray for long week ends!

Lille frø

Sov, du vesle spire ung,
ennå er det vinter,
ennå sover bjørk og lyng,
roser, hyasinter.
Ennå er det langt til vår,
langt til rogn i blomstring står.
Sov, du vesle spire, 
ennå er det vinter.

Provoking pink

What is it about pink? And why do girls grow up dreaming of becoming (and acting like) princesses? Did you know that way back in history pink was meant for men, and blue was the color for women? Watch Nasjonalgalleriet and learn more about this lovely, provoking, dangerous color!

Good things

Squeezing it hard. Holding on. Hoping karma will be our friend now. It´s about time the wind will blow our way. So much going on, all around me. Work and private. I´m just trying to go with the flow. Working on how to relax with what I can´t control. That´s not easy for a control freak like me. Luckily I have so many clever, warm persons around me. I´m so happy to be part of an amazing team. And then I will go for a little trip soon. Thought traveling doesn´t remove what´s hard, it just makes it better and easier to carry. 

Golddigga´

Det er ikke gull alt som glitrer. Likevel hjelper det litt å lakke med 24 karat gull. Uten gift. Og drikke rosa bobler med fine damer. Klemme ekstra hardt på en ball. Skikkelig hardt. Glemme det som ikke glitrer. For en liten stund. Fine kollegavenner er gode saker.


Sometimes it helps putting on a nice nailpolish. With real gold. And no toxins. Squeezing hard on a ball. Holding on to good friends. Drinking pink cava with nice ladies. And just pretending it´s all glam and rock´n roll. For a night. 

In the gallery

Wow, this was fun! I threw in some pictures in the contest Colour addict for norwegian blogs. I´m not that kind of person who style a lot before I take pictures. I do move things around, yes. But I don´t fancy building up a big scene for it. I din´t get to the top, but I am among ten nice blogs in a picture gallery at NIB. That´s a good thing on an ordinary wednesday. Looking forwards to see the finalists. Yeah. 

1001

It felt a bit like this when I started blogging 3 years ago. Now this is my post number 1001. 220 of you guys are following me. Wow. That´s a bit awkward, but most of all inspiring. 
Now I think about all I´ve learned from blogging. Maybe I should make a list and share some advice with you. That was how I learned from other blogs. Layout, photos, ideas and stuff. I can see when I look back on my oldest posts that I`ve changed and learned quite a lot! I think I will have to celebrate with a give away soon. Thank you for visiting and staying with me. 

This MADD week

It´s been a wild week. I´m all out of words. Working 24/7 for this project has been like no job, most fun. Now it`s almost over. 2 years of hard work really paid off. Watching all those happy, proud students on and behind the stage made it worth it all. MADD (Music, Arts, Dance, Drama) in school is so important. It works! No the saddest part. Cleaning- then a long holiday. I will need it. But I´m still high. On happiness. I´m so proud of my students.   

3 dager til ende

Busy day. Still celebrating. My cute colleagues brought muffins and a gift. They even made our pupils surprise me on stage, singing a birthday song for me when I thought they were supposed to practice. I had to cry a little. Then, still daylight when leaving work in the evening. Rain. And when I came home, one more gift were waiting. In the mailbox. Thank you so much Lahra. I feel so lucky, having all these wonderful people in my life. Thank you all. I love you. 

Older and older

 

Shit. One step further away from 30. Soon. I´ve been so busy these weeks I almost forgot it´s my birthday tomorrow. Now I must get up from bed, clean the house, bake some cakes (shit!) and maybe decorate a bit. Oh, I must tell you- our dinner table is upside sown on top of our big piece of art. Chairs all over our living room. And dust all over. Lot´s to do. Still, I´m in bed. These pictures are so last season. So what to do tomorrow? I haven´t had the time to focus on my birthday. Maybe that´s how it is to grow up, become an adult and work like hell? But still, I love birthdays. 

MADD

I really love my job. Especially these days. My baby for two years is about to come to life. This is completely MADD. Music Art Dance Drama in school is really important. Hard work. Great learning. And fun. I´m all out of words. I love working with these young people. And my great colleagues. This is just day 1. One week before premiere.
