Mood: Pretty good.
Listening to: RT podcast crew playing Diablo III
A LOT has happened since the last time I posted.
Update on my feet. They were smooth as a babies butt. Now they’ve started getting rough and hard skinned again. Would I recommend the Exfoliating Foot Sock? Oh, yes. I’m totally getting a new pair and I’ll totally exfoliate my feet again. So, for me the effect of smooth skin lasted for about a month.
I’ve also had a birthday. Before that I cut my hair. I’m still quite blond. Actually more blond now than I used to be. But I’ve got short hair now. I was supposed to look like this:
But the hair dresser cut it too short.. and I think she got too hung up in matching the color. I’m not displeased with the hair-cut, don’t get me wrong. I just have to get used to styling my hair before I can get it to look like this. One thing I’ll try to do a day I don’t have work for a few days is go nuts with the blow-dryer and spray wax.
So yeah. My birthday. The big 37. Well, it’s not really THAT big. But it really doesn’t matter. I feel 20 in my head.
For my birthday I got money.
Mum: A beautiful necklace with matching bracelet and ear-rings. Silver with sapphire, I think. It’s purple stone.
Dad: Money!
My brother: Captain Morgan and Dr. Sleep by Stephen King.
Granny: Money
Aunt and Uncle visiting for my Mother’s 60th birthday: Money.
The money is really going to come in handy. Before my vacation started a costumer came in to get some stuff. She told us that she was having a party. An opening of a FUCKING TATTOO SHOP RIGHT UP THE STREET FROM ME PARTY!!!!! So yeah. I need the money for ink =D
We’ve also been away for our vacation. We went to Gudbrandsdalen to go fishing. I was lucky. I was so lucky! I caught the biggest fresh water fish I’ve ever caught. It was about 1,2 kg. and, without the head, as long as my lower arm. 40 cm long/15,5 inches long, big, fat, pink in the flesh. I can’t wait to have it for dinner.
Yumm…
As for the luck. I had a big tangle of line I was untangling, and as I started to reel in the line to recast the sucker was on. The fishing rod looked as if it was going to snap in half.. it was bent so bad. And I couldn’t get the break on the reel, so as I was trying to reel it on, it got to a point where the fish was too heavy. But eventually I won. I was so happy. I was ecstatic. It was such a rush. Now I know why people fish for salmon. Imagine reeling in for hours… It took me a few minutes to get this one on land. And I really didn’t want it to get away so I grabbed the gills, over the back, and squeezed. I looked like I had been in a very bloody battle. I cut the throat and it was gushing. Ah, memories. 🙂
She even had eggs.
So, we were going to be away from Wednesday to Sunday, but when we woke up on Saturday it was raining, and the forecast said rain the rest of the day. So we went home. It was just as well. We went home to our new shower. =D
The day before mum dad and my brother came to visit, we decided to put up a new shower. We were supposed to get help, but then he said he couldn’t. Of course.
So, without instructions, because even though the pamphlet said the QR-code would bring us to the instructions, the link didn’t work. So we had to work blind. We had a picture of it, so we knew how it would end up looking. It took us half a day to set up. And it was worth it because it is AWESOME! I have like a tropical mist shower in the shower head. I love it.
What else…
Oh yeah. While we were camping we were fishing in the water outlet for the power station. It’s totally safe, unless you jump in.
I fish in the outer thing, but there are two outlets where you can fish. They get filled with loads of floating stuff, though, so it makes fishing hard.
The first day we were there I noticed a strange smell, but I thought nothing of it and fished. I looked into the outlets and saw what looked like a boat fender thingie. The next day it was there still. The last day I took a closer look and saw that what I thought had been where you attach the rope on the fender thing, was actually paws. The more I looked the more it dawned on me that this was most likely a dog. A dead, bloated dog. So many things went thought my head. What I was hoping for, even though it’s really sad, was that the dog accidentally fell into the water and drowned. What I hope didn’t happen to it was that it was thrown in . It still sucks, though. And it made me sad.
There’s the outer thing where I fish. The opening in the right corner is where the outlet is.. and so is the one next to it. The one with the branches in it is the one the dog was in. Of course, I’m not sure it was a dog. I couldn’t see the head. It might have been some other kind of dog-like animal.
Also, if you look closely at the picture, about in the middle of it.. that’s me.. =D
Also, hopefully I’ll start getting my drivers license. It would be so sweet.
I also got some Trind stuff to make my nails suck less. It’s Nail Repair and Cuticle Balsam. I have to use this stuff for two weeks, and then I’ll let you know if I like it or not. If it has helped.
I guess that’s it for now.
If I can think of more stuff I’ll post it. I’ll try to do it more often. Especially since I’ll be trying out new stuff, foods, products and so on, to see if they are any good and to let you know/see (maybe) the results.
But now I have to get ready for work.
Stay wonderful.
