We love this weather we’ve been having the last week.. And by “we” I mean Rora and I. I can’t believe how she survives the day being almost totally black and insisting on lying in the sun. If there’s a tiny ray on the floor when we come inside after panting our way home, you can bet that that’s where she’s taking her nap.
I take her out on my lunch break, and I have my cheese sandwich and she’s rolling in the grass.
People of Oslo,
Please stop making fires, do illegal stuff, get sick and whatever. I’m sick of all the sirens.
Thank you!
We have only, six or seven boxes and five bags left to unpack, and then we’re all set. It still looks messy here, but it’s getting better. Then my mom calls me to inform me that they have emptied out the attic and now my old room is filled with boxes of toys and what not from my childhood. Now, where the hell am I supposed to put all of that? They’re moving in June probably, and by then I will have to go through everything to see what I can give away or throw away, and what I want to save.
Even when I was little I thought that I couldn’t throw stuff away cause I wanted my kids to see what I played with when I was a child. Most likely cause my mom threw away all her stuff, and the oldest thing she has is her wedding gown, and that’s not so much fun to play with. It doesn’t look like a wedding dress at all, if you were thinking that. It’s cerise.
I told my mom to just give away my dolls, not my Barbies, and don’t even think about giving away my stuffed animals! I think I have over a hundred of them, and I have no idea of where to put them and not get mould or the smell of mould on them.
Think, think, think!
We’ve been out with the dogs for a looong walk today, and I love it! I must admit that it’s hard to always get up early on my days off to walk the dogs, but when you’re in the woods and away from all the city noise and with the boyfriend, it’s all good. It’s more complicated with the leash law now, but what can you do? Rora runs after everything that moves, so if she doesn’t kill the birds, she sure as hell will scare them, so I’m walking her with a flexi (retractable) leash. Can’t wait until she can run free again.
My sister is coming with her boyfriend to visit us next weekend. Never met the guy and hasn’t given me the best first impression either. Let’s try to be open-minded.
The apartment is looking better and better for each day now. We actually need to go to IKEA AGAIN, but I’m starting to hate that place, so I keep putting it off. Things would be so much easier if we had a car.
Uh? I wrote an entry that just vanished.. Strange! It didn’t really say anything useful anyway, only that we’re starting to get everything in place here, and we’re now finishing up the library. I remember having more books than I can find in the boxes here, but I think some are still in Harstad.
It was good to have a day off today, but it’s back to work tomorrow. And I’m making caramel cookies at 11:30PM..
Oh, and I’ve started using twitter, so add me if you’re there 
Okay, so I’m feeling a lot better now. We finally have more time to ourselves and Pippi is with the ex now, so it’s a lot quieter here. We are taking it slow with the unpacking and it actually feels like weekend..
We got our stuff to the new apartment yesterday and when it finally started to look a tad nice here it was filled with boxes and junk again. Good thing we have so much more room here than in the old apartment, but I’m starting to wonder where we are supposed to put everything.
After emptying the old apartment we put away some things that we planned on giving away to a local flea market, but they never showed up, so we put up an ad at FINN for free. I did it with the old kitchen in the new apartment (I swear I will put up “before” and “after” shots of the apartment when we’re finished here), and it was given away in a heartbeat. We got so many replies that I didn’t know what to do but to just delete the whole listing.. So, after an hour up, and with 247 page views, we had 15 responses and it was given away to the first person who would take everything. I strongly recommend giving away your stuff if you don’t need it as it obviously is somebody who does.
Anyway, in all this glory of giving stuff away, I bought Wii Fit. I thought it was a bit expensive with the balance board and all, but damn, it is worth it. I myself don’t enjoy working out, but with Wii Fit it’s, cross my heart, fun! I swear: FUN!
Fun. I think working out is FUN.
Stil can’t believe it.
Ya, so I was tagged by Lotta, but as I’m too lazy/stressed out by the move I’m just gonna refer to my list at 43things.com. Sorry for being boring. Maybe I’ll do it later
We were supposed to get our last stuff from the old apartment today, but the moving people screwed us over and was going to take 25% more than we agreed, plus I took the day off from work and they couldn’t make it until 5 PM anyway. So we told them bye-bye and hired another moving company for tomorrow morning.
I’m starting to think that I’m developing bipolar disorder. I can go from super happy to OMG-my-life-is-horrible in a second. Maybe it’s just the stress from moving, redecorating and the job. It can really break you. The job, I mean. Some days are really great, and some days are depressing as hell. And on top of all the emotions are the extreme feelings of both owners, pets and coworkers. Both still I love my job. Couldn’t ask for anything else, really.
