Winter wonderland pt.2

I've had a really good day today. I've bought a little chocolate calendar, learned how french kids talk (msn-talk and such), read a lot of nice emails, gone for a walk, had a half hour sleep, and had a nice talk with my mom. The only sad thing is that the smell of rain is hanging in the air, and I'm not ready for the snow to disappear yet. I love the cold, fresh air, and that the snow lights up even when it's dark, and I love to see the children and the birds play around in it. Don't get me wrong, I like the rain also, but not so much in the winter.

I talked to some interesting people during lunch today.. One guy could tell me the date of the birth to every celebrity I mentioned, and one guy told me about his travels in the 80's. I didn't really talk much myself, because I was busy eating and listening to the two guys talk, and believe me; guys can be just as talkative as girls! It was very interesting..

What's your #1 wish this Christmas?

Yesterday I took a 1 1/2 hour walk with my younger sister in the snow. I wanted to get some photos of it before it rains away. It's still here, so maybe I'll take some more today.. It's freezing cold, and taking pictures outside makes me lose the feeling in my hands, so I'm not sure if I'll bother. I love snow though! I love the view of it, the smell, the noise of it under my feet, and the feeling when the snowcrystals melts on my face.

Norwegians celebrate Christmas eve on the 24th of December, and that's a month away from today! I haven't began shopping for Christmas presents yet, and I'm not really done with my wishlist either. I've decided to only wish for the things I actually need, this year.

I also want to remind you of the highly addictive game Winterbells.

It's no secret that I love taking pictures. I often look like a tourist, with my Nikon-camera around my neck, taking 100 pictures a minute. Lately I've been too lazy to even think about photographing. There's not really that much to take pictues of where I live, so that means I have to take the bus to wherever I want to go. It's sort of irritating, because the lazyness that's hanging over me always comes this time of year, so I never get any good pictures in the autumn/winter-months. I need someone to slap my face and telling me to pull it together. Enough complaining, right?

Well, since I don't have any good pictures of the last couple of months, I thought I could post a couple of pictures I took this summer. I was in Rosendal, which is a place in Norway, with my mom, her bestfriend, and my two sisters. It was a great one-day roadtrip, and I took A LOT of pictures. So did my sister. The car in these photos where one of the two really cool cars we photographed. We just walked past this one, but the other car we sort of stalked. Well, my mom and her friend did, and since we were in the car with them we really didn't have any choice but to co-stalk it. We ended up talking with the owner for a long time, and he was so nice! He rented out the car for weddings and that kind of stuff, and he had done so for many years. He also lived in the area where our lake-house is, and we talked about that for a while.

So that's the story about my trip to Rosendal.. Haha, this post where not supposed to be this long, but when I first start I'm not able to stop. Anyway, I hope you have a nice evening!
