B is for BEAUTY...& BERLIN

-
Day 2 of the A-Z challenge...  todays letter is B..

B is for BEAUTY

Beauty is a BIG part of my job..
I work for a large Scandinavian Cosmetics/Skin Care company as a sales manager.

I LOVE my job... .. if you were going to create a job JUST for ME..
this would be it.
I love people.. I love make up & I love to travel... which I do often with my position.
the challenge is to find the PERFECT balance between HOME and WORK.. sigh..
which I work on every day.

B is also for BJØRN..
my Norwegian husband
(Bjørn means BEAR in English)
with really BLUE eyes...
and B is for our BILINGUAL.. Babies

We have traveled to several places which begin with B... such as Bulgaria..Burma, Barbados,Bangkok  and Belize..
but not sure where I have those pictures saved.. :-)  So I will have to re post our pictures from BERLIN.

B is for BERLIN




















Did I mention that I once lived in Burlington IA? ..

I love reading about your adventures. I just read several of the "how you got to Norway" posts. Did you ever finish the story?

Thank you so much for visiting my A to Z post for B. It is nice to meet you too, and see your B E A U T I F U L family!

Norway is not that far away from Sweden. Who knows, maybe we could actually meet one day. I am trying to get my jewelry business off the ground. I have a lot of ideas, but there is a lot to do with two school aged children (7 soon 8 and 10 years old.)

Here is my e-mail address is:

My sister's good friend moved with her husband from Tulsa to Stavanger, Norway. We are friends on FB and she is having a great time learning new things and getting to know Norway!

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

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
