Misty Mornings

Hey sorry again, havent posted in a while because i have actually been quite busy... but anyways i did a little shopping last week and hung out with some friends. now i have officially started saving up for my new horse, i decided to call it " Horse Bucks" :P cuz its a play on words ;) i will post all the clothes that i have bought in the summer at the end of summer as one big haul.
i just came back from having overnighted at my cabin in Åmøy :) which was fun and it was sunny too :D but i forgot my camera so no pictures from there :(

I just finished packing for our trip up to lofoten in a couple of days, where we get to experience 24 hours of sunshine, YAY!! and then straight after that, like we are talking 24 hours after my mom and i come back early from the trip, that i catch a plane by myself to canada!!! :D I am sooooo excited and a bit nervous, not the flying bit, but having to go through heathrow airport during the olympics :O it is going to be chaotic! can't wait to see all my friends there and go up in the canadian rockies on horseback for five days...ahhh livin the dream :D

anyways about the title for this blog post, i know.. you wondering why is it called "misty mornings" when i havent even talked about mist even yet?!!? well answer to your question is that this past week it has been filled with mystical mornings present with mist (surprise right??) :P and i loved just walking my dog and not seeing 5 meters infront of me, it was like talking the walk of faith :P (if you see what i did there) ;)

My dad came home from boston with the maple syrup from a local place near boston, its the real stuff!! i hate when people say they have "aunt jamaima's syrup" (sorry dont know how to spell her name) when it isnt even maple syrup!! also my dad brought the clothes i ordered hoe aswell :D

Long Journey.. Sun Filled Days

hey everybody!! sorry i havent written in a loooooonnnnggg time i have just been to busy!! (i know, i know....excuses excuses ;P) Anyways where were we....? oh ya i just talked about how we were about to head up to bergen for a few dayys.. and we did and it was ssoooooo sunny and hot!! i was in shock, my (see now you just learnt something new ;) and some people got a refresher on the info about norway.. :D. )

So bergen was great! and i bought some new clothes which i love <3333 and we just chilled basically. Haha something happened to me in the restaurant that always happens to me including in calgary!! so when i order my meal, they first forget and mess up my dish, out of everyone elses and then they apologize and have to make it again , and i end up sitting there waiting for 20 min.. but it doesnt bother me a bit cuz then while i hopelessly sit there everyone else feels bad for me and gives me tastings of their meal... so i love it and i get to taste like 4 meals and not be hungry while i patiently wait (hehehehe)... and then ussually by dessert time, the dessert i order.. they don't have (of course it had to be the cheesecake that I had to order) but again its fine cuz then it solves the conflict that i always have between chossing the brownie or the cheesecake... :P

the good part was that we drove to bergen, and i love road trips especially through beautiful nature <3 and we took some fairies which is one of my favorite ways of transportation (obviously if you know me my favorite way of transportation is horseback riding) :P ;).

Later on when we were back home I made an anniversary cake for my grandparents... so i did a traditional buttercream red velvet cake and cupcakes. Excuse the oxi clean in one of the pictures :) by the way :P

So this past week has been chill with hangin at home with my dog, going for long walks and heading to my beach. I actually biked down to the beach today (cuz it is literally 5 min away) and i just sat there among the sand reading my book and eating an apple ;) i love laying down.. facing the sky and hearing the crashing of the waves just ahead <3 we are lucky to live so close to the beach and farmland and a HUGE forest is one minute walking distance from our house.. an awesome place to go galloping up the hills with a horse <3 and for taking pictures..

we also went to this american norwegian festival and had to take the backroad to get there which was scary but gorgeous nature!

In the week when me and erlend ( i mean erlend and i ) :P where walking nickie i the forest we came across three little kittens ( i know that sounds weird but it is true!!) they were so cute and they were probs 1 month old or so, but the mom wasnt there so it probably was out hunting or something like that... and so i ran home to get some food and water for them (some leverpostei.. which looks and smells like cat food but is human food.. but animals can eat it too) so then i just cuddled with them and gave them food.. which they just chawed down!! and they were very sociable so i got to hold them as well.. being me i had to name them... so the black one became "echo" (because it was the quiet one that was always present), the multi colour one "spirit" cuz it was very jumpy and had lots of energy, the last one "scavenger" cuz it kept asking for more food!! :P and looking for it too! so i hanged with them for a bit then headed home. oh did i mention that they were the size of my hand!! so cute!! and then from then one i actually like cats... sso now every evening i leave out from leverpostei for the cats in the neighborhood who roam

 free in the forest ( we call them 'skogskat') and they eat it every time :D but the adult cats are more shy than the kittens were so i just leave it out without me being there.

I was just thinking how whenever i accidentally asked to go to the 'washroom' in school the teachers would look at me like i was retarted.. :P Canadians will get this ;) but then i dawned on me that its just in canada that they use that term (because i got so used to saying it back in canada).. it was also confusing when i moved TO canada cuz i didnt know what that word meant!! but now since i forgot that NO ONE knows what it means here so it has been a hard transition from saying 'washroom' to 'Bathroom'.. :P and the funny thing was that in canada if you say bathroom they look at oyu weird to!! so either way ya look like a retard ;) hahaha

Ok enough of my lame jokes... here is the quote of the day:

New

Not a lot has happened to me in this past week.. oh ya sorry that i havent blogged in so long (i know i know.. i am becoming one of those bloggers who dont post for weeks, im sorry that i let you down!! .. not alot has happened but yet everything new has happened, if you get what i mean.

So early on this last week i got my hair re-died, and it has a lighter look to it, which i like. :) and then i had a soccer match which was a tough one.. but we won!! (of course.. :P) But ya then i made a cake for the American father's day.. because i needed to have an excuse too make this experimental cake which i have been dying to start.. see!! another new thing that week ;) well it was a fondant cake and it was a success!! :D it was made for my dad and my grandpa.. so that will answer your questions on why the cake says " #1 Dads" .. not because i have gay dads or anything.. its just cuz since my grand parents just came to visit from phoenix i changed the noun to a plural subject.. well afterall my grandpa isnt just that (a grandpa) he is a also a father technically. :P so i achieved something new and also it is the first time that my grandparents have come to visit since we moved back! It has been lots of fun especially with my grandma and grandpa being around. ;) Oh ya!! i forgot to mention that i attempted a checkerboard cake and it all worked out in the end even thought the journey almost gave me a mental breakdown.. !! :P hahah just kidding it truned out great and tasted delish!!

guess whats coming up..................... I'm going to visit canada soon!!!!! It's going to be lots of fun seeing my old friends and going back to my old stable and going on a trip to overnight Iin the mountain with the horses! Ahhhh the fresh air and the smell of horse... life can't get any better.... and it isn't just going to be fun for me it will be fun for you guys too, you will get to see pics of canada and get a preview of the rockies!! so stay tuned ;)

I hate that moment when you are having a wonderful dream and then you get woken up by your alarm... and also when you are about to hit the hay when the cute boy messages you on fb.. and you feel like you have to keep on the conversation while you are half asleep.. but you stay up anyways.. ;)

This week i also hanged out with my friend andrea in sola where i found something that made my day and we also saw a lot of cute guys who worked in the nursing home across the street ;))

Today i tried for my first time, cake pops and they were pretty awesome and good i shall say.. i toped them with melted marshmallow and chocolate! I have been obsessed with watching crumb boss for the past few days... and now i am n=going to attempt watching their longest baking video which has 4 parts to it and its for the yule log.. so it will be a loooong process but dont worry crumb boss i am up for any challenge!!

Oh and also i have learned some new therories in science... ( this is the time when, if you dont like or hate science, you should stand up from your desk and stretch your neck, and if you are reading this blog from your phone then you should consider taking a break and making those brownies you have been dying to make.. or if your laying on your bed with your mac then you can maybe consider taking your dog for a walk.. because i will be explaining some of the laws of the dark science which learks ariund us.. but if you like talk about the quantum physics then stay!!) ;D So as i was watching this documentary about this kind of science.. i learned that the pull of gravity is more in the sence the cause of the 'fabric' of the cosmos. When i say that i mean that it is not a force which is being performed by gravity but an outcome. Einstein stated that 'space' was like fabric and when a heavy object would be placed in it, it would stretch and bend around the object and allowing it to fall for a certain extent. So then any objects coming near would spiral around it continually.. performing the 'force' of the gravitational pull. Also this theory changed what newton had said before.. i also learned that empty space isnt so empty... and i am not talking about particles.. i know you scientists out there are probs thinking ' of course it isnt empty there are particles present!!' but i am talking about the space between those particles.. the higgs particules... this theory by higgs himself says that the mass of the particules can increase or decrease passed on this space of higg particles.. and the interesting thing that got me to understand this was that Brian Greene used an analogy comparing the higgs theory with fame.. which was just mind boggling but yet so intriguing!!

so anyways.. in a couple days i am heading up to bergen just to chill so that will be fun.. and apparently based on siri .. it is supposed to be sunny!! and that is rare based on the normal weather forcast of bergen!!

Åmøy trip

So this weekend my family and i went out to Åmøy to spend the night out there in our cabin. We also have a cabin in Colorado, USA which i love as well. My dad's side of the family originally comes from that island. The island is really close to Stavanger, so it is only about a 45 min drive out there!! It is like heaven on earth ( i know.. i usually Hate cliches but i do them anyways..), no but really it is the most peaceful place that you can experience peace.. Thats what i love about Norway.. you could be surrounded by hundreds of houses but then drive for 5 min and not see a single house as far as the eye can see!! Its spectacular and awesome! It was sort of rainy but another thing about our cabin or cottage out there ;) is that it is enjoyable when it rains or when it is sunny as can be.. I mean like when there is a storm you can stay inside and play old board games and when it is sunny i like to go running in the fields with my dog (very dramatic right??) ;P. It is an old cabin, it still has running water, but our other cabin in Colorado (from my moms side) is the old rustic log cabin with no electricity and running water. So we use rain water, have an outhouse, use gaz lights or candles. It doesnt really bother me because then you get the full experience! Oh! and also since it is on government land (it was built 70 years ago when it wasn't govn't land.. so it was allowed) no one else is around us because it is illegal to build there anymore.. So that means No screaming texans that would be just meters away!! :P so it is just peace with the fresh air of the Rockies..:)

I have been going to the Åmøy cabin ever since I was little. My brother and I always used to play on our little tractors but then our grandfather would let us ride in a REAL tractor as well. When it becomes the afternoon the sun gets really strong and creates a warm orangey light that penetrates through the island, making everything so beautiful and intense looking. Since it was a real working and operating farm it still has some of the old equipment lying around there. I have a lot of good memories from there and hope there are still plenty more to be made.

 Anyways.. the pictures I took are from the island where our cabin lays and the farmland on it or which is surrounding it.
