Long time, no see

I guess it's been a long time since I wrote. I've sort of lost interest in this blog, I think because of its' drab colours and such. But I don't actually care enough to change it. I also forgot my password for a while, and cared so little that I didn't try to remember or get it changed. But I care now... sort of.

We has been busy. We went home to Canada for a visit this asummer and it was great. It was nice for my parents to finally meet their grandchild. They were so happy to see her, and she liked having so many people fuss over her.
I also turned 30 which was a big let down. I thought that the sky would turn black, or at least gray and all of life as we know it would come to a standstill. None of that happened, and I had 2 uneventful birthday get togethers. Sign I am getting older - some of my friends brought their children and couldn't drink. Oh yeah, I have a child too. I guess that's another big sign.
The airline lost one of our suitcases which I can't even think about.
But not the one with all this great make-up I got for birthday gifts. That's a blessing.

Time is going so fast with the baby. She is already and 7-1/2 months old. She can crawl, she laugh a lot, has a tooth, and obviously can sit up. She is so beautiful and fun to be around. I am still tired because there's a ton of work that goes into caring for her, but I guess I'll get used to it at some point.
I am working again, which I hadn't done since I came to Norway. It's nice to work. I do copywriting for companies who would like to have better English. I can do it from home, and I am freelance, so that's a good deal.
We still go to babyswimming and she loves it. She especially loves to try and grab the other babies, who I think are a little wary of her. They all seem very blah. No personality. I guess she's hoping to meet up with another baby with as much personality as she has...
I did a little travelling in Norway this summer. I went to visit a friend in Holmestrand. Strand means beach, and holme is an islet. It's a nice coastal town, although small. Easy to get around, very little shopping possibilities. Next summer we are planning to travel around Europe which will be unbelievable I'm sure. Can't live in Norway without seeing Europe. That would be a mistake.
It's fall and I am feeling very un-tormented. Nice.
