Random Tuesday Thoughts...

Yea! Finally I get to play...RANDOM TUESDAY THOUGHTs.... cause it seems like MOST of my thoughts are RANDOM today....


*my goodness...am I BITCHY today... I called Bjørn early at work just to WARN HIM... everything is irritating me.. Seems like it is going around.. it must be the GRAY Rainy days... Everyone is feeling a little bitchy & blue.... lets hope the sun comes out SOON...


** I have a bunch of meetings tomorrow... will I speak up & say what is on my mind or back down to just get through it? I need to be better about standing up for myself. Believe it or not, sometimes I am WAY too nice.


*We get a lot of American TV shows here in Norway... months or even years after they come out in the states... the newest show to hit the Norwegian airways is "Dance your A$$ OFF" - I know where I will be Thursday night... bruhaaaaa


* Anyone know how we can watch AMERICAN shows on the Internet? - Living abroad you get a message saying you are not allowed to watch from your area.... suggestions?















* I really tried to LOVE Lancome's Ôscillation mascara...REALLY...





But after using it for several weeks... I DON'T.





"Ôscillation is the first vibrating Power mascara by Lancôme: 7000 oscillations per minute"





Although my lashes look good to begin with, by the end of the day, the mascara starts flaking off... not good
save your $34








*Although I wasn't CRAZY about Lancôme's mascara... I am CRAZY about the GÉNIFIQUE line. I started using it about 2 weeks ago... remember?





I haven't noticed a HUGE difference on my face, but I don't really have many lines yet...

Now my sun damaged chest? WOW... seriously... in about a week I have erased years...
"Today, for every woman, Lancôme creates our 1st Youth Activator - GÉNIFIQUE. Now, boost genes' activity2 and stimulate the production of youth proteins.3
See visibly younger skin and brighter eyes in just 7 days."



* I think book clubs where you can't have a glass of wine is lame. just sayin.... do you think I have a problem?

*9 days until I am on a plane to Argentina...jealous MUCH?

Off to get my beauty sleep... ciao Chicas

Love your RTT and I am sooooo glad you stopped by my site so I could find you! I am very happy to see your review of the Lancome mascara... too bad about that, btw....but way happier to hear what someone thinks of the new genfique line. It's a lot of money to plunk down without hearing personally how someone other than the salesperson liked it.

Now, as a fellow expat who has no intention of ever waiting a year to see my shows.... check out my review of a VPN: http://bitchinwivesclub.blogspot.com/2009/10/abroad-and-in-search-of-american-tv.html

You know someone named Bjorn? Seriously?? My hubby is from the Upper Midwest and is 100% Norwegian. I hear names like this often-his father immigrated from Oslo and was named Borger-and it's neat to hear that people really do name their kids that in real life. Do you bake sandbakkels for Christmas?

I feel bitchy too.. and I know it has to be this weather. I am trying soooo hard to be perky in spite of it, but all it does is make me even more irritated. Our poor vikings....lol

I really like your new banner.

And I totally agree about a glass of wine being necessary at a book club!

Best site to watch American tv shows, and just a day later instead of a year;)

There's this thing called a Sling Box. You need someone in the States with good cable and good internet and you're set. Basically you get to watch their tv. :D

I used to be part of a book club - all they drank was tea. *sigh* A nice wine drinking bookclub sounds like a good plan!

American TV online.....well, I think I've tried just about everything out there, to no avail. Although, I see 2 new suggestions to try. Good luck and if you find something that works, please let us all know!

Looking forward to hearing all about Argentina!!

I have days like this too. Usually my husband is the first to know it...even before me. But everyone once in awhile I can call him and give him a heads up.

Check out the purchase of a SlingBox. We did this for awhile for a friend in India. We put the Slingbox on our TV and computer and he was able to pull in a signal to his computer. It was kind of freaky when he started controlling our TV while we were watching it. But usually it wasn't a problem because of a 12 hours time difference.

Totally lame! And yes, very jealous - think of me when your shaking your booty on the dance floor and drinking red wine......

Argentina sounds wonderful! I could use a getaway right about now, so yes, I am jealous! :)

The slingbox thing sounds really neat!

Your new site looks good!

Can I come to Argentina with you, please?

ANY club that doesn't welcome wine is lame in my book. Do you think I have a problem? Well, I probably do.

Was there a wine boycott that I am unaware of? I don't think it was ever ruled out. Actually, I have had a huge craving for Baileys... Anyway, I have a couple cots here and a double couch in case anyone wants to bring a few bottles tomorrow... ;)

Is that like electric mascara??? I think I'm relieved I haven't seen it in Australia yet... I don't know whether to be impressed or scared that such a thing exists! haha.

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
