Best day E V E R!

-
OMG! I have had the best day ever. I don't actually start my new job intim May 1st. But my new boss co workers have been AWESOME.... Including me in everything possible. Today I attended a meeting for all of the Norwegian managers....

Super frest group... Everyone was warm & welcoming....

The invitation started by æking me if i wanted to attend the meeting.... (of course)
Then...an invitation to dinner ( I never turn down a night in Oslo...). Then it was suggested I stay in the city... At a lovely 5 star hotel.... Umm ok, being the team player that I am... I agreed :-)

Half way through the meeting... We started talking about social media...how to use it....Ect. Started talking about i phones, i pads. & all of the applications etc....

All of a sudden....I felt like I was at the Oprah show.... They started passing out iPads to ALL of US.... OMG... Are you kidding? I haven't Even started working for you yet!

New job, new boss, new team.....I Love y'all already!

I keep wanting to pinch myself.... Whew... Can my 40th year really be this good?

I was just surfing the net and found your blog. Congrats on your new job! :) Well I thought I'd contact you because I've been looking for a job in Norway, but I'm finding it difficult to get considering that I don't speak Norwegian. Do you have any tips or company names that I can apply for? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to email me at forest_ier@hotmail.com .Thank you! :)

First question--do they have a satellite office in DK? :-)

And second question-- what time did you go to bed that first night when all you wanted to do was to play on the new iPad?!?!

Congratulations on your new job! I guess you have found how to turn off auto correct on your iPad. I really don't dare write anything with that crazy touch pad - you never know what gets published!

As they say in Norwegian "everything always works out for good girls"!

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...
