Explosion in Oslo....

-
I have received a ton of emails today... just wanted to let y'all know we are all fine.

My poor mother was pretty worried... I was supposed to be at work today. 

Today was my first day back to work after vacation...but due to my jet lag...
I ended up taking home office.  
The explosion was approx 300 yards from my office... everyone got out ok...but of course are in shock.

Right now we are all shocked & stunned... what am I facing when I go back into Oslo on Monday?



I keep thinking back to Sept. 11th.   the day America was changed forever... 
July 22,2011 will be Norway's 9/11-  

First the bombs.. and now the shootings...

WHO could justify going into a youth camp and opening fire on a bunch of kids? 

WHY?
- still glued to the tube trying to get information about what happened out at Utøya...

Today, Norway's innocence  was lost... 
Things like this don't happen in Norway...or so we thought.

Glad you are ok. I had been watching your blog off and on today to see if you were ok. I wasn't sure if you were back from your trip yet.

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...

REFELECTIONS .... To be considered as a winner for this week's challenge, your photo needs to have a reflection of a face in it (Kids - a child's face; Adults - an adult's face.) Be creative ~ the reflection can be in a mirror, glass, water....or any other way you can think of to show a reflection of the beautiful face you photograph! I know this isn't much of a FACE shot... but it is ME reflected in my daughters eye.... I was pretty excited when I saw this yesterday.... This was a so so shot of my daughter... taken at the beach on Sat. BEFORE I ♥ Faces,... I probably would have deleted the shot.... but when I looked closer... I saw my reflection.... I have seen so many cool shots others have done on I♥ faces, where I was just amazed by the subjects eyes... I never realized how easy it is to look in them & see something... So thank you I♥ faces for teaching me something cool! So head on over to I Heart Faces , & see who else is playing! Here is my "baby...
