n and o are for...

norway

norway is the country of many important things…my ancestors, crystal clear fjords, trolls, kroner, and most importantly my sister kristin and her family. kristin was our exchange student and came to live with us when I was 10. my family traveled to norway when she and her husband rune were married on july 4, 1992. the trip was much too short (and too many years ago!) and we hope to go back one day but for now, we settle for emails, photos and telephone calls from kristin, rune and their children.



organizing

I have a need for things to be organized…sometimes really organized. realizing this isn’t always a healthy need, I am trying to be aware when this compulsion gets out of hand. to lighten the mood (I'm not truly as wacky as that might sound), I just tend to be organized and have things put away. everything in its place right?! get me in a store like storables or anything with baskets or bins and I’m in heaven. I could go crazy finding just the right receptacle for that doo-hickey…oh, I’m twitching at the thought! and if you think I’m bad/nuts, you should see my sister. my closet is organized by color thanks to her. it’s now functional and pretty to look at.
