Vacation and decisions

28/07/2010

We’re finally home after a week in Germany. We visited Husband’s parents and had a really good time. Emeline was just a delight, and her uncle and aunt, who got to see her for the first time, fell in love. The grandparents were ecstatic and told her how wonderful and clever and all that, she is. Good thing she doesn’t understand it all, or she’ll be full of herself ;)

She also got a tooth while we were in Germany :) I noticed she was a little grumpy a couple of days, but thought it was because we went shopping and she was bored in the stroller, but once she got something to chew on, she was fine. And one morning I just woke up and thought that it might be the teeth we had seen earlier because she was drooling so much, and there it was; A tiny sharp tooth.

I’ve been thinking A LOT about this thing that I’ve already posted about on my Norwegian website. I’m thinking of closing down this blog and start all over again — in Norwegian. New domain, new design, and only blog in Norwegian. I have a hard time doing it because 1) I’ve had this blog for a million years, 2) I will probably lose touch with most of the English blogging people, and that would be sad, 3) I’m not sure about which domain to choose. And it drives me nuts to think about it, but I think I have decided to go for it.

I think.

:faint:

Daily life and vacation

19/06/2010

Time flies so fast nowadays! I can’t believe my baby is almost six months already! Wow.

Emeline was just the happiest baby yesterday. She laughed and smiled all day :love: She also finally understood how to roll from back to stomach, so she’s doing it all the time. She even did a 60 degree turn in bed, then rolled around on her tummy and fell asleep on her face. Which freaked me out, so I had to turn her head.

Did I mention that we’re going to Germany on vacation? We’re gonna visit Husband’s parents, WITHOUT the dogs this time, and I’m so looking forward to it :) I also got a lot more holiday pay than I had thought, and although I need to save some of it up for December when I’ve asked for unpaid parental leave, I’ll have more than enough to spend on some much needed clothes! HUZZAH! Plus I’ve got some leftover Euros from the past vacations.

Here’s Emeline with her new sippy cup she got the other day. We thought she might learn how to drink from it since she doesn’t take a bottle, but I guess it’s easier to drink from a bottle after all. Anyway, she was super happy over getting it:

And this is from Thursday at the park :)

Sukk!

Jeg sier det bare; Det å ha hund er som å ha barn… Jeg er så reisesyk at jeg holder på å krepere! Ja da, i fjor reiste jeg til utlandet to ganger, men når den ene er til svigers vet jeg ikke helt om det teller… Det er så mange steder jeg har planlagt å dra, men jeg innser jo nå at det blir færre og færre sjanser nå. Enten så har jeg ikke reisefølge eller så har jeg ikke råd, eller så har jeg ikke fri. Nå som jeg får friuker innimellom står det egentlig mest på reisefølge. Folk begynner jo å danne familier eller så vil de, som jeg godt kan skjønne, tilbringe fridagene sine med sin kjære. Så hvordan kan en jente som meg få sett verden? For jeg reiser IKKE alene. Nei, jeg får vel drømme meg bort med Travel Chanel og se misunnelig på bilder fra Facebook-bekjentes studieturer.

Sommer!

24/08/2008 Skriv en kommentar

Ja, nå har jeg endelig fått skrevet om alle innleggene slik at æøå ikke ser ut som ���, men nå gjenstår alle kommentarene, og det orker jeg rett og slett ikke gjøre noe med i første omgang. Jeg har fått oversatt det meste til norsk, så nå begynner det å se ok ut her. Skal bare skrive litt om meg selv, så anser jeg nettsiden som ferdig oppdatert.

Akkurat nå sitter jeg på hytta utenfor Harstad. Jeg og Kjæresten har tatt med oss Pippi og Aurora nordover (Aurora synes det er litt skummelt å fly), og i helga har hele familien vært samlet. Nå har alle untatt oss dratt hjem, og det er så fint vær at vi sitter ute i undertøy. Eller, det er vel bare jeg som gjør det, men grunnen er at vi forventa 11 grader og regn, så jeg har hverken pakket bikini eller miniskjørt. Skal etterhvert en tur til Lofoten. Kjæresten har aldri vært der, og det er jo et sted som bare MÅ ses. Senere skal vi til Harstad for å se den nye leiligheta til mamma og pappa, og treffe Maria og Ellisiv. Og så må jeg se gjennom tingene mine fra barndomshjemmet for å se hva jeg skal ha og hva jeg må kaste (gulp!).

Det er siste uka av ferien min nå, så det er bare å nyte den!

Santorini

19/07/2008

So, we’re back from Santorini, or Thera.. or Thira, whatever you wanna call it. We were there for a week, and it was really great. First of all we stayed at a place called Kamari where there was nothing to do but to lie on the beach and swim in the ocean, and in the evenings: Eat, walk at the beach and maybe look in the few shops there. To be on a vacation like that was very good for me as I always run around at new places, trying to see everything and shop as much as possible. We rented a car for the weekend and drove around on the island, to more secluded beaches and to the cities Oia (Ia) and Fira (also called Thira, what’s up with all the different names?)

On the entire trip I bought two summer dresses and Boyfriend bought a diving mask, plus a necklace for me: Very cute, looked like a grass straw with a tiny flower on. Oh, and two souvenirs.

We went to Oia on a very hot day, so we barely could walk the streets, but it had an amazing view! Fira was almost as pretty :)

The last days without a car was spent on the beach, relaxing. There was an earthquake on Rhodos (6.5 Richter scale) while we were on Santorini, and it was said that it was noticeable on our island too, but we slept through it.. We were actually up and hour before the quake to watch the sunrise.

I felt that this vacation was really good for our relationship. Vacations can often be the other way around…

Weekend no. 25 in year 2008:

22/06/2008

Went back to see Aurora. She was SO happy to see us again, and it surprised me as I thought she’d be busy with the puppies. And man, she was so thin! I think she even was thinner than she usually is! I miss her.

I told Boyfriend I’d go on vacation without him if he didn’t come with me as I’ve got that itch again. Having two dogs makes it very hard to go anywhere, but this summer is a perfect opportunity for us as Rora is at the farm. So we bought tickets to Greece. Will hopefully be relaxing, interesting, fun, romantic and all that jazz. Going in two weeks and will be gone for a week. Will also be visiting his parents as we have a layover in Düsseldorf on the way there.

Have gone crazy at pocket book store with their 3 for 2 deal on all English pockets. Bought girly books and Labyrinth, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, Eat Pray Love and Atonement. The last one was picked last minute (after running around looking for the two girly books that I just HAD to have) as they didn’t have Absolute Fear, a book I just picked out of the shelves at a book store. That’s how I found Curious Dog, and I have never bought books on a whim before. Absolute Fear has now been added to my Library Wish List. Atonement had better not be boring!

Writing in half-sentences after reading book in diary form. Will hopefully end soon.

To vacate or not to vacate.

19/04/2008

So they’re going to inseminate Rora tomorrow. Eeek. Meaning that she will get her puppies June 19th, if everything goes according to their plan. In other news: I don’t need a doggiesitter if we ever decide to go on vacation this summer. It also means that I won’t be able to take her home to my parents this summer, at least not until late August. Maybe I should ask for a week off in August insted of July.

I’m actually sitting on top of a wardrobe that I’m supposed to put together, so I guess I should get back to that. I’m starting to get tired of IKEA…

Bad, bad romantic movie.

06/07/2007

It’s been a lot of ups and downs since last time. We almost had a fight right before I left Oslo, or, more like me not wanting to speak to him cause he still couldn’t get himself to tell her. During the next day I told him to stay away from me cause I can’t be the other woman and wait for him to finally move out. Then we both calmed down a bit, and actually ended up planning for him to come visit me here.

And he did. He stayed at the cabin with the entire family, and we spent the days like we’ve been together for always. His ex kept calling him and he missed his dog so much that he had to talk to her, apparantly. I tried to be brave, but he noticed that it bothered me. So we had a talk. The talk we planned to have so many times before.

He asked me if I knew what I wanted in life, and I said yes without telling him exactly what. He told me what he wanted and why it didn’t work out with him and his ex. And that when he met me he found everything he missed in her. Then he said that he wanted to be with me, but he knew that the moment he told her, he would lose the dog and he didn’t know how to cope with that. I totally understand it, and I don’t wanna push him. He asked me if I’d wait for him, and I asked him for how long. He just said he didn’t know, and I guess that’s not good enough for me. So we just laid there and didn’t say much more, and the rest of the day was like everything was okay.

When he left today I asked him what was going to happen next, and he just said that I’d come back to Oslo and he’d see me, acting like everything was back to “normal”. So we sent a couple of texts, and I said I’d let him go cause I couldn’t sit and wait for something I’m not even sure will ever happen. He said it was probably for the best. He wouldn’t go back to his ex, but he needed to end everything completely and figure things out with the dog and apartment and everything. And if I didn’t want him or if I wasn’t there when it all was over, then it was his loss, and the days he had spent with me were the best ones in his life.

It’s like a bad romantic movie without a happy ending. At least not for now.

Feeling a bit reduced.

14/04/2007

Milan was great. Spent too much money, did a little sight seeing and had lots of pizza, pasta and ice cream. It was hard to leave Aurora, but I got daily reports so I knew she was fine :) Came home and was afraid she had forgotten me, but she was wild when she saw me :D
I currently have horse practice and I’m actually quite comfortable with horses now. The only downside with the horse clinic is that you stand A LOT and start at 7:30AM.

My birthday was spent with friends over for dinner and was great fun. Did even more celebrating yesterday at a school party. Took Karine from work with us, and it seemed like she had a great time. I, however, fell asleep with Curly during the party after discussing why I wouldn’t sleep with him. I’m a bit amazed that strangers care so much about what’s up with us. I also had to leave “early” at 4AM cause Aurora was home alone for the first time ;)

Stress!

03/04/2007

It’s Milan tomorrow! Kine is feeling better and Aurora is staying at Sunniva’s. I haven’t packed yet, and I’m starting to freak out again. Oh, I know it’s gonna break my heart to leave Aurora.. Sunniva is picking her up tonight as we’re leaving pretty early tomorrow, and then I won’t see her in 6 days!

A girl at college, who’s living with a girl I worked with yesterday, is at the hospital with infectious meningitis. It’s horrible, and the girl I work with had to leave to see a doctor and run some tests to see if she’d gotten it too. I haven’t heard anything, so I hope she’s okay.

I’m hooked on facebook, so if you’re there, add me :)
