its been a really long time since i blogged!

so now that i stated the obvious...

i realise i cannot live the tai-tai life with no job or being in the education system. its BORING. or rather, it makes me feel like there's no real purpose, so i got a little moody. quite interesting since i thought i'd be happily bumming out. But then again its a good thing, i know now i cannot live as a useless bum XD

things got a litte better when Mary suggested i could make things to sell for xmas, until i hauled home 2 bags of yarn and drifted from project to project. Again, it seemed a little pointless to make things when you're uncertain they would sell. but luckily for me, the workplace has a tradition of giving out advent calendar gifts to one random person a day, and Mary ordered 20 potholders from me. So i'm 'working' to finish those now, and i'm glad to say they're soon done. i miss making things for myself XD

Potholder that Mary ordered

i have a whole bag of yarn because they were extremely cheap (like $1.50-3 a ball due to sales) that are in colours i fancy, and no time to make them. but soon i shall unleash my urges -...and enter some knit frenzy.

Other things i have been up to is cooking.. i had the urge to make my own homemade stuff (just to have more to do, and to experiment i guess) and successfully made very tasty burgers, kjøttkake (meatcakes) in homemade sauce, fishcakes in self made sauce... and i'm waiting to make a little more.

Of course, i'm also having lots of fun with my nail stuff, especially since Hilde had this website www.beautyjoint.com where the nailpolishes sell relatively cheap inclusive of shipping costs, more so if you order in bulk. Any nail pictures go up on facebook!

Random stuff - they now sell Starbucks coffee in grocery stores. It comes in such cute packaging,but sadly i think i saw only 3 flavours on sale. thank goodness there's mocha!


these pair of kittens are still up for adoption, i hope they find a good home which will adopt them together. They are so close, and run everywhere together. I've never seen one without the other trailing not far behind. Its also really cute when you see one grooming the other !
Lastly for now, is the discovery of super yummy belgian waffles sold at 7-11 at 3 for 45nkr. oh YUMS. I pay the same price for a heated up version (or maybe even 10nkr more) for ONE at the Choco Boco (a coffee place we hang out now and then, to get some reading/crafting done)


Thats all for now, got some mexican stew on the stove and i'm hungry!
