Animal life II

Here Jonah has taught Nemi to 'play dead' - except she can't keep her tail still! I'm constantly amazed at how happy she is. I have an idea for a LO in my head - 'Lessons learnt from the Dog...'

1. To enjoy the moment
2. To love unconditionally
3. To show everybody how happy I am
4. To run with a bounce in my step
5. To not hold grudges

And at the annual stempel & scrappemesse last saturday I found some of these cool 7gypsies lists...

I had to get them - for the blog. Of course.

Animal life

Charlottesville is cooling off now, we have had over 40 C the past week. The crickets are playing all night and we have two squirrels in the garden who are having a great time throwing cones at our new car. We have had a monster spider building his net outside our laundry room. I have never seen a spider that big in my whole life and B got the camera and made a horror movie out of it. We sure have a lot of wild animals around us for living in the middle of a city.

I now have wireless Internet in my new home! It is sooo much easier in the US compared to Norway. We had to wait for Telenor to get their act together for 3 months in Stavanger, while here it took less than 24 hrs!

Eirin

A paid vacation

Happytriggers is just the best name for this blog, and the fact that it was available made me very happy too! I am now more or less installed in my Virginian southern style house and is in the very beginning of my 6 months stay in the US. It is kind of surreal to be given the opportunity to be here, not having to work and spend most of my time just doing whatever drops into my head! Just the thought of that makes me happy ;o)

Eirin

Here we go!

Well. Actually here Eirin goes. To the US. For months. Leaving me here all alone. So how could we stay in touch, and and be constructive and have fun at the same time? The idea of a joint blog came up, where we could document the things that make us happy - and well ; here we go!

My Happytrigger for the day was finding out that Happytriggers was available as our blog title. ;-)
