American in Norway

Bergen was AMAZING ... what a fantastic city.... I only wish I hadn't spent then entire day in meetings...   I also wish I hadn't booked my return flight so early the next day. After our day long meeting, our boss planned dinner for us on top of the Fløibanen. We took the Funicular up to the.. Fløien Folkerestaurant Delicious food.. & great service (Roberto) ...   oh yes & the wine... :-) We were running a couple of hours behind... so I was worried  about not being able to FINALLY  meet Megan from "A Suitcase and Stilettos" But Meghan was a trooper and waited for me.  We thought we would grab a "quick drink" - I had to be up by 5:00 am to get to the airport... HA... well one drink led to another.. & the conversation just flowed... Why do I always try to kid myself.. saying I will call it an early evening? I knew it wouldn't be... Of course we talked for hours... We met a nice American family who took these pictures for us......

Oh I had such BIGGGG plans this week... Bjørn is in Dubai.. & you know what they say? "When the cats away, the mice will play..." I remember the days of "playing" included weekends away with my girl friends.. & dancing on bars until the wee hours of the morning... Nowadays...my big plans included a bath, shaving my legs & blogging... Which I didn't even get a chance to do... Whaaa .... I did however make a HUGE dent in the pigsty we like to call our basement... (I would show you pictures, but I am afraid the authorities would take my children away if they saw how bad it was....) I also rediscovered my LOVE of ebay .... Oh yes, I remembered why I banned myself from bidding.... But seeing as it is only a few short weeks until I am in "the land of the round door knobs" I figured it would be ok to start a little online shopping... (start re filling the basement LOL ) (Is the U.S. the only country with round door knobs? - just wondering) I wa...
