Bits and pieces

So, not much interesting happening at the moment! I'm all alone at work untill Wednesday because people are away on holiday, and there aren't a lot of my friends left in the city in the summer either. I had quite a productive day yesterday though, first at work, then going to the hairdressers and then cleaning my whole apartment afterwards! (Not that cleaning takes that long, but still...) It was nice getting a haircut cause I haven't had one since last August! So now I look like this: The weather hasn't been too good lately so that kinda sucks. But I've borrowed all the seasons of Gilmore Girls from a friend of mine, so I'm not bored! :)

It's three weeks since I came home, and I'm amazed how fast time flies! And thinking about it, it's three years since I went off to live in New Zealand! Still miss you guys and hope to see you in the not too far future.

And last but not least: I want to go off travelling again...

Quarterlifecrisis?

I reached the milestone of being halfway to 50 yesterday! Doesn't really feel any different than two days ago I must say. But according to my lifeplan of 5 years ago I was to have a stable relationship and kids when I was 25! And well, I'm as single and childless as one can be.

So new plan is: No plan!

It was a nice day though, I made the most amazing trufflecake, it was divine... With raspberries dipped in melted chocolate on top. Mmmmm! My Mum, stepdad, Grandparents, cousin and uncle came over and helped me eat it. And I managed to convince my brother to get on a plane and come up aswell!

As for everyone else, don't worry, I'll make a new cake for the official party which I'll throw a bit later when more people are back from their holidays.

Home sweet home?

Well, I've been home for a week now, and I'll tell you one thing: it's not as fun as travelling!! I arrived back in Trondheim late last Friday after about an 18 hour journey. Didn't sleep much on the flights despite having stayed up singing karaoke untill 4 in the morning, so I was quite tired when I got home.

At least the weather was good the first days after I got home, so on Saturday I bought strawberries and shrimps and went up to my Grandma and sat on the veranda basking in the sun. I had to show her my tattoo, and luckily she didn't freak out as bad as I thought she would. She actually admitted it was pretty even though she really really doesn't like tattoos! When I told my mum on the other hand she screamed... And said "and you did this even though you knew I'd react like this!!" "Yup..." I sent her a picture on the phone and she texted me back saying "uuuæææææ" and then about ten crying smilyfaces, hehe.

Going back to work on Monday was quite a shocker to the system! I had "only" 220 e-mails to deal with so that took most of the first day, but after that it's been a bit quiet. I guess people are on holiday... It was nice meeting my colleagues again though.

I have aquired a bit of an eating problem by being in a country with so much good food for the last 7 weeks... My body is now used to eating a LOT of food, and preferably warm lunches and meat twice a day. So now that I'm back on my "normal" diet, I'm constantly hungry and craving snax... Not good! I have to start running again soon to get back into shape...

It's been raining for the last couple of days, which means I have to wear shoes instead of flip-flops. I MISS TRAVELLING!!!
