last night in norway, and this time i'm taking it with a much more positive attitude.
i guess its because when i came back here, i had this feeling like i never left... and that gives the reassurance that nothing much will change when i'm gone (other than the cat growing up from kitten to young adult). it also reassured me that lilo treats me differently from alex's parents. how should i describe it? its like i'm her other 'human' (cats are too independent for owners XD ) so i get about the same treatment as alex gets from her. *convinces self its more since she managed to get the cat to come willingly onto her lap when on the sofa*
still pretty damn sad to leave of course, thats a given.
so i'm sitting here typing while alex makes dinner with the cat on my lap, washing herself.... typing this post in a form of self-therapy..... ah well. i believe time will fly fast enough, and there's internet and stuff... situations like this make you appreciate your partner more i guess?
cat's gone off now, alex still making dinner, i'm getting hungry. but its KJOTTSUPPE (meatsoup) which i will definately make after i get back to singapore. i'm rambling on.
packed by bags and stuff, mostly... going home with a lot less than i came with now that its empty of xmas gifts and stuff for others... i'll have my tamagotchis and psp ( yes alvin, i'm bringing it back FINALLY, and with your harddrive too) to entertain me on the plane. and if i get emotional, there's knitting therapy! sucks abit that i didnt get to buy more yarn due to the sucky weather, but i'll survive. worse case scenario i'll just undo the whole damn scarf and knit from the start!
knitting therapy is good btw, it stops me from thinking, and i go into this meditative state XD at least, when the knitting's easy. and the scarf i'm making is what i call piss-easy . (that word is stuck in my head so much, i just wanted to use it)
done rambling for now....

Last project for winter
And thats my last project for winter, a nice fluffy light shawl/scarf thing, depending on how i want to wear it. According to the lady at the store who gave the pattern, it can be worn quite a few ways. However, i think i'm just sticking to mainly 2 ways. The above pic is as a shawl, the pic below is as a scarf. 
its folded so it will be thicker at the neck... i should take a macro pic of it, because you cant really see any detail on the pics now due to low light XD

Narcissism
Today is lets-be-narcissistic-day. So here are some pics of me , and the pics of my winter knitting projects! First up is a pic from New Year, with a dress kas bought for me + a jacket lace thingy i bought on Ebay (lovveeee) + slightly chunky necklace i got from Mary from xmas which suits the look nicely AND covers some boobage + cool hair thing from Alex + cat (who just came out of her den mewing at me and coming for some cuddles)
Next are pics Alex took of me at my request, because i love my new winter coat he got for me for xmas!its very nice and warm actually, havent felt cold wearing it... i wear a sweater under only if it drops below zero though.
DONT ASK WHY ITS THIS WAY . But i was rolling my neck, and its the only pic which shows off the sweater best. As you can see, i made some cool braiding on the sleeves and a slightly more complicated braiding down the front. The edge of the sweater is two layers of giant Xs.
The scarf i also made myself, without a pattern since i was inspired by a scarf Hilde had made for herself. In fact, i like it so much i'm about to complete another. XD The one in the picture is thicker, and i hung a swarovski snowflake on it to make it hang down slightly.. thought it was a cool idea so i'll probably do that for the future scarves i'm planning to make.
Gotta be off now, time to make dinner!

Typical Morning
A typical morning in the Gaustadnes household, with Lilo rushing over to cuddle in my lap, give a few kisses and dropping herself all over my lap wanting attention X)
i like how she runs over from daddy *gloat* but it doesnt take much to get her back on his lap... she switches between us depending on who is the most stable piece of furniture ( i suspect we're petting sofas in her mind's eye)
