Mommy's night out...

-
Wooo Hooo... Mommy is getting a night out...(yes, this mommy...)

& better yet... it is a night out with a bunch of other American Mommys.....

y'all can't possibly understand how nice it is going to be to have a night with only ENGLISH.... & Americans.... (don't be hating on me, all you Norwegian mommy's out there who want to be my friend... your time will come...I just need a little taste of the USA... )

Wouldn't it totally suck if they were mean uptight women too? I mean, after my last social event not sure I can take much more!

I am on my way out to hear a speaker with the American Women's club... at this point I could care less about the topic... the point is it will be with other ex pats... ( I have never been before... ¨'I am sounding like a huge ol' dork now, I am aren't I)

Oh well ... I think it is well deserved don't you?

P.S. Grumpy mom hasn't said anything to me yet....

P.S.S. someone asked in my previous post, about Norwegian women.. I have a lot of really good Norwegian friends... just these 2 in particular were on the bitchy side... & I am much more shy /maybe more sensitive, over here out of my element, than I would be at home....

You are going to have an awesome time because I said so. I'm sure all the other women will be the same as you- ready for a night out with English. Just be friendly and outgoing and nice. Works like a charm every time.

Not many others I can think of deserve it more. Relax and pretend to listen to what the speaker is saying.

Hope you enjoyed your night out. We will be expecting a re-cap. And I understand. When I lived in Japan, I didnt care what country someone was from as long as they spoke English as their first language I was good. I just needed to feel a little bit of home every once in a while.

Have a great time! Yes, you do deserve it! I remember feeling exactly this way myself while living in Italy. Something about just a few hours of something familiar and from HOME IE USA makes you feel new again.

Hope you had a great night out! Can totally understand the need to talk to someone "from home"! No need to explain certain terms, you're not the only one laughing at something only people from home would know about at the movies, etc. I watched a movie here in Norway once, can't remember which one of course, where the main character was faced with a difficult decision. The music that pipes up in the background is the "waiting" music from Jeopardy, and I was the only one who got it, and laughed, leaving everyone else to look at me funny. I used to not like that, but now I tend to relish those moments :-)

Although it would be nice to have someone else laughing too!

"Ooo was our meeting NOT pleasant... i will try to be better behaved next time."

If by better behaved you mean we get the waitress to come around more often with fresh beer so you can tell even more hysterical stories I'm definitely taking you up on that promise!

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
