House Hunters International...My thoughts...

-
OK...OMG... finally got a copy of the show. 
 Thank you to my WONDERFUL, THOUGHTFUL mother.. who sent it express...
 I love you mamma! -
& if you couldn't tell from the show.. I miss her like crazy!. MUAHHHH.

Lets see... thoughts...

I think if you KNOW me... you would know that I really am NOT..."hard to please".  
For the most part I do go with the FLOW.... (no, really)

After the chic said for the 100th time.. "HARD TO PLEASE TRESSA.. "

My darling boy said... thats not true mom.. your not hard to please.  (love that kid)

I had to laugh when I said.. "if mamma ain't happy,ain't no one happy" 
- I may have seemed a tad bit bitchy,.. -come on ya'll I was trying to make it realistic. :-)

I would love to tell you that I don't really sound like NANNY Fine.. NASAL...
But gosh... I must.. you would never know I grew up in Texas would you?

 
It was fun watching it with the family this evening..I am so glad I have the video now..
With my sister.. mom & dad, friends in the states... this is going to be a nice little momento.
& I am so glad all of my friends & family were able to see our "new" home.

Arg!
Wish we could watch it here in Norway!!
Would love to see it!
(and I knew from before that they were "staged")

We're starting the house-hunting stage up here in Lillehammer. Not looking forward to it. Very nervous about the limited options.

BUT YOU CAN!!! You see most American Networks post their shows online - see here - http://www.hgtv.com/video/fleeing-to-fredrikstad-video/index.html

That is how I watched it.

Tressa you should totally embed the video so people can see it at their leisure!

Really - you seemed fine to me and the announcer was just SAYING you were hard to please.

I thought you came across fine. Not difficult @ all. Since you spilled the beans it's easy to tell that the show is staged. Bummer.

So glad you finally got to see it, here after so many of us were critiquing your episode! It has to be very daunting seeing yourself t.v.?! Your parents are adorable as well as your husband & kiddos. You are a good actress and no one would know you had already built your house. It really is a good memento to have forever.

Hei Tressa,

For those in the USA, your show is going to repeat on Tuesday, January 25th, at 9 p.m. and again at midnight. Since your show originally aired on my birthday, I was out and missed it to my disappointment. I'm curious to see how they handled the visninger, having the reports on what is wrong with the houses, and the SMS biddings.

Ha en fin helg.

Watch your show tonight! Love where you live! Your house you built is beautiful! I would be the same way wanting a home as close to what you know. When we moved to Germany I was shocked!! Luckily it ws just for 2 yrs but we were lucky to rent a place with a big kitchen and closets! Hard adjustment moving international, people don't get it until you do it! So happy I finally caught it! Love HGTV!

Hi! Me and my Norwegian hubby have a very similar story to yours and i found your blog doing a google search for info for Americans in Norway :) We actually just happened to watch your episode last night on HGTV (we always hoped for an episode in Norway!). We were so excited b/c you expressed most of the same concerns (regarding the housing) I have. We will be moving to Norway in a couple of years so its so nice to read what your experience has been like as I am sure it will be similar to mine.

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
