That is soo cool....

-
There is nothing I love more than following my FEEDJIT thingy to see where my readers come from. & there is nothing cooler than finding out I am on someone's favorite/readers list.... especially when they have never left me a comment. What a nice little surprise. That is sooo cool!

Amazing how blogging makes the world seem so small... & I think that is cool... I feel ike the 2.5 months I have been blogging I have met not only friends but family.... I was going to ask if that is weird... but come on... you know you feel it too! I have my "big sister's" lifeinredshoes ,Food, Glorious Food...and life in general at home with the farmer's wife , Postcards from the Edge ... who have been talking me down during crisis mode the last few weeks.... (Suzanne even offered to meet me in Chicago to help getting my kiddos through the city..BLESS BLESS BLESS) then the girlies with kids about the same age...who check on me on a daily basis... The Perlman Update , Angie's Spot ,Texas Word Tangle , and there is Ramblings of a 30-Something Year Old Single Girl who I like to keep tabs on to make sure she is staying out of trouble.... ; )

Not only have I met tons of friends blogging... I have found the one way of keeping all of my friends & family updated on everything happening here in Norway.... People I didn't even know were interested...Uncles, aunts, friends of my parents...old classmates... WOW... That is SOOO cool.
Thanks for caring....

Today I am really..(no I mean it)....REALLY going to get things done...I promise... Started with finding the kids passports... (huge sigh of relief...remember most of everything is still boxed.) The house is clean... so people can pop by unexpected with out me freaking out....
& I am starting on my College video for my get together with Sean & the gang in 2 short WEEKS... (Sean...I know you thought I wasn't going to pull this off...but I WILL)
I have been scanning pictures all morning... & all I can say is...OMG...what were we thinking? The only way I can describe my "style" from college is Big TEXAS Hair meets Chicago Mob.... NICE.... I will have to post pictures when I get them sorted....

& Because I know my parents are scanning my blog every day for Eva/Bjørn updates.... STILL haven't received Eva's test results.... (they were due on Thursday...) but she seems to be feeling fine... & Bjørn was looking great yesterday, he was even waiting outside for us when we arrived for Eva's treatment... YIPPEE...things look like they are going in the right way.... & I feel like the FOG has lifted.....

Thank you to EVERYONE... who has been by my side through all of this.....
Love,T

Awww, thanks for the shout out and I'm so glad you're feeling better. :-) Blogging and the internet has been a saving grace for me. It really does make the world small and it gives a (much needed) connection to wonderful women (and guys) that I would never have met otherwise. I miss not having connections from an office, so this is the next best thing. Have a wonderful day and I can't wait to see some of these college pics!

Hi. I am one of those 'lurkers' picked up on the feedjit thingy.
I have been reading your blog for awhile (but had not left a comment yet - due to the miserable time you have been having - I didn't think it was the right time to just drop in and say something), I discovered it via another, via another etc.
Thanks for the positive thoughts about my bedroom (now that will get people wondering!!).
I have laughed about thoughts on the MIL.
Well, it's great to 'meet' you!

Sounds like you are reaching the light at the end of the tunnel- so good to hear!

I'll continue to pray for strength of mind and body for you, to get you through the next few weeks. Soon you'll be on vacation having a great time!

Oh Tressa, you have such a sweet heart....yes you are a sweetheart! You're young enough to be my daughter so I feel very protective of you. Yes, the community we've cobbled together on the internet is an amazing place. Thanks for mentioning me in your list. I read many of those you have mentioned but there are a few new faces to check out too.

We're all rooting for you and I for one am so happy you can come home for a visit.

I'm praying for your storm to be passing.

Awww...shucks...thanks for the mention :-)

And you are more than welcome. If I'd been living near you, I'd be over there with casseroles and pep talk and doing the laundry and running herd on the kids and....:-)

I'm betting that a few others, like Suzanne, Heather, Kat and so on, would have been doing the same thing.

I'm so glad you're feeling better and that things are looking up, you deserve it, damn it!!!

Big *Hugs* and prayers your way. :-)

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...
