I Am Still Happy

January 18th, 2008 · No Comments

I know that I expected more snow when I moved to Norway (kinda like what my best friend Jessica is experiencing in Utah). But I have to say that the rain is still my favorite weather. I just get a little wetter in it since I don’t have a car and walk everywhere. But I [...]

January 11th, 2008 · No Comments

Renny has said many times “theres no bad weather, only bad clothes”. This quote has been repeated back to me by many of my blogging friends - but Renny is the one who coined this phrase, I’m sure. BUT, I have to add one little thing, “Theres no such thing as bad weather, only bad [...]

America The Not So Beautiful

January 10th, 2008 · 1 Comment

It is funny because since I’ve had the apartment all to myself all week, I have had the privilege of complete control of the remote. So, while channel surfing, I realized that the choice of American tv shows that they are showing here on tv in Norway, is a bit um - embarrassing.
