LUCKY ME! No, really....

I know all of my fellow Norway bloggers will be posting about THIS

Norway has been ranked as the best place in the world to live. WOW....

Now, I am not sure if I agree with it... cause I am pretty proud to be an American y'all... & am already homesick for the US of A after being gone for only 24 hours...

but I did make some observations while I was home...
(I'd rather poke my eyes out than admit this to my husband...) there are some pretty good things about living here in Norway

I will have to do an entire post on this...(maybe tomorrow) & I mean this in a really good way...not my usual bitchy way.

Anyhoo... just thought I would share the story for any of y'all who care... : )

ciao for now..

An American living in the Best place to live..... in the world.....

Alright even though I'm super bummed about leaving America, at least I'm coming to a great country. I can't wait to read your next post. I'm glad you had a blast in the States!

Well, if you can't live in the US @ least you live in the best country, eh?

So, did you bring home cases of mac 'n cheese?

Well, gee, if this picture is any indication, I believe it! It's gorgeous!!!

I read that too, and they said the data was 2007 data. I wonder if Iceland is still near the top after the finance crisis? Or if the US is still at 13? That'd be interesting to find out. And don't worry about loyalty to America. A patriot can recognize flaws and still love their country. ;)

Welcome home! And really, isn't the best place with your family? I guess it's just good that you got confirmation :)

Can't wait to hear what you think! I'm coming on a trip to Norway March of 2011. I'm looking forward to seeing the best place to live in the world!

I am looking forward to your thoughts about this.

I'm American, but my great-grandfather was from Norway and I've always wanted to visit there.

Norway seems to frequently be on the top of the list for best places to live. While I love the US, perhaps we can learn a thing or two from this.

That is awesome!! Im thinking Brazil doesnt really rank too high on that list. But you know, I believe Norway being number one, mainly because every singl picture I have seen has been GORGEOUS. Every one.

I think the place we grew up is always dear to us, even if it isn't the most wonderful of places to live. So for me, living in Texas is nothing compared to where I grew up in Indonesia.... but that doesn't mean Texas is bad, it just means I'm biased! :)

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...
