In 2 short weeks...

-
Just home from catching up on some paper work at the office.... & I can't sleep... 2:30 am here in Norway.

Driving home tonight it hit me.... in 2 short weeks...I will be in the U.S. with all of my buddies from Western Illinois.... YIPPEE! Yes...I am thinking POSITIVE thoughts... we will make it on the plane...we will, we will we will!

Started flipping through the pictures for the slide show/video... that I am now running out of time on.... Sean... Mr. "I have soooo many pictures from the good ol'days.".. came up with umm, 5. Thanks baby.... so I think I may have a 2 min. video if I am REALLY Lucky... Just thought I would share.... a few... Really... I hope you won't think less of me... BUT, OH MYYYYYYYY!

What the hell was this Star Spangled DOOZY I was wearing? I look like a 60 year old woman!

& the big puffy people? Ummm... we owed most of that to HARDY's Drive Thru when the bars closed....

If y'all knew how much time & hairspray I spent on the "DO".... & everytime I see a picture of Sean I feel like screaming.... "Is that a PLEDGE PIN your wearing?" (you need to spit when when you scream it.... ) Look closely... yes my goodness... it is his PLEDGE PIN...




Relax people.... just so you don't think we ended up like this....(By the way... we were all gussied up in that photo..)
Yes...it IS the same guy.... he just lost the PLEDGE PIN...
Can't wait to see you all! : )

LMAO Glad you said it looking like a 60 year old's outfit, not I. Even though I agree!! lol

Course I wear my mothers clothes and she is almost 70, so what am I laughing at!! lol (But she doesn't own anything like that ;) )

Great pictures though and you guys look good together!

I can't believe the transformation!

I had the same hair. We are responsible for the hole in the ozone.

So now we know who is responsible for the ozone situation, huh? That hairspray had to go somewhere!

See what happens when I look away for a few weeks - hope Eva is getting better and send her my commiserations about the IV (my arm still bears the scars).

Hope your trip home is full of fabulousness and fun.

I hope you enjoy Illinois, though I promise you it will likely seem boring in comparison to globe trotting most anywhere else.

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long
