FUNKY...FRUMPY...FUNK...

-
Yawn..... I'm back.....

I would love to tell ya, I had nothing for you.... I have lots of great things...
(great in MY opinion) for ya... I just can't seem to get them written...

I am in a totally FUNKY.... FRUMPY....FUNK

I feel & look like a total FRUMP... you know those weeks? & it has nothing to do with PMS...

I am SOO tired. I am really hoping it has something to do with the weather. I could sleep 12 hours a day.. & still feel tired. (on Monday, Eva actually did sleep from 5 pm until 6:30 the following morning...)

Trying to combat my "FRUMP-I-NESS" I did something I haven't done in 5 years.....

I painted my nails.... (Bjørn tried to bust me on this one.... I have had clear polish...OK...) But this time I painted them a deep dark red.....
(sad, that this is something I see as blog worthy isn't it?Even more sad...everyone at work noticed)
Once upon a time long, painted nails... my reddish lipstick & heels were the NORM for me....

Now I am the short nails, clear polish, neutral lipstick...(because it makes my teeth appear whiter) & mom shoes... (literally, shoes my 67 year old mother sent me because they were too small for her & I WEAR THEM!)

WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?

I wonder if I am having the birthday blues.... (yes, believe me... Feb. is a VERY long month for all of my family.....)

As a child, my mother made the mistake of telling me, my birthday was right after Christmas.....

SO the day after Christmas the count down would be on...
" Guess what is in 55 more days? Hmm Hmm? Can you guess.....Hmmm "

" Hey Daddy, Guess what is in 53more days? Hmm Hmm? Can you guess.....Hmmm

Now it is more of a "

"Whaaaa...Guess what is in 16 more days?..."

I don't mind getting older... ( I don't really have a choice do I?) I just don't want to LOOK older...

I am guessing this FUNK I am in is either because of...

A.) the Crappy Norwegian Weather....

B.) My birthday this month

C.) I have decided to go back to my 20th class reunion.

I have a day off today... I was going to go to Sweden to get some much needed grocery shopping done. ( if Bjørn has to eat another sandwich, I think he is going to divorce me....)

But I am thinking the day might better spent improving my mental well being? yes? I will let you know what I come up with.... (I know y'all are holding your breath.)

I actually know what you mean. I thought I'd have tons of stuff to write once I got my torture device from hell off but sadly all I can think of is... Nothing!

I have solved my problem a little though. It's 70 F during the day here so I've been making an effort to go out into the sun. It's amazing how easy it is to hide in my house cleaning or doing crafts. sigh...

Can't wait to hear what you decide to do to get out of the blues.

It's the weather! I slept for nine hours at the weekend and was totally exhausted when I woke up. It's been cloudy here so we're not getting enough light... I went out for a long walk and I perked up after that.

I understand - my bestest and I call this the hibernation month. We have to work hard to get out and see other people - family does not count!!!

So I suggest a mental health for you!

You made me laugh with the shoes comment.

Ah we all have the FUNK and the weather certainly doesn't help. Try wearing bright colored clothes. I'm in a nice lime green today. All it's done is give me a headache (could be the four solid hours on here reading blogs but.. nah.)

I swear it's the weather! Here in MT we've had cloudy cold crappy days for like three months and everyone I talk to says how depressing it is and how sick of winter they are. Luckily only what three more months of this winter crap :) Oh and I totally understand the painted nails, I haven't painted mine in years - hope it cheered you up!

I was wondering where you had gone to!! Make a spectical of your birthday; throw yourself a party...get out of the funk! Frumpy? I don't think so, I've see your recent pics...not even close!

Take a mental health day for yourself...enjoy!

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...
