American in Norway

ARGH...less than a month till Bjørns 40th b-day....! I am starting to feel the pressure- which I put on myself .... I just want his big day to be SPECIAL... I know..he could care less about the details... He would be happy with a Norwegian Cold Board... salmon, kjøtt kaker etc.... & a store bought cake. But as y'all KNOW... I LOVE Birthday parties.... The problem is living growing up in the states...having my BFF's be the Martha Stewarts of the Midwest..I have all of these AWESOME ideas... without the resources to pull it together... We don't have your giant party stores here... there are no Hobby Lobby's or Michael's to go & get all of the cake decorating stuff & decorations I would need to try to pull something AWESOME off... I bought a few things in the US (decoration wise) but that was before I decided on going BLACK & WHITE... So now I have to put my thinking cap on & figure out how to get my hands on all of the things I need.... & I ne...

WHAT does A MAN WANT...? That is really my question... not a statement. Bjørn is turning 40 in November... my old man is now going to BE an OLD MAN... (no offense to those of you already heading down the other side of the hill.... I still have a year & a 1/2 & I am hanging on to everyday with dear life....) I need ideas.... What the hell am I going to do for his FORTIETH? We are going to have a party including his mother & rest of the family... he has requested a NORWEGIAN cold board ( food )...I tried to talk him into TEX MEX & margaritas ...but it is HIS party... so I am going to have to do Norwegian... Fish & aquavit... mmmmmm I need a GIFT idea.... something that says.... YOUR FORTY... YOUR OLD ... but I am still crazy about you .... Hmmmm . A co worker suggested a gift card to the local home improvement store... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz A friend suggested a STRIP TEASE.. & vibrating panties... I think it would go a little like thissssss .... I need somethin...
