(Untitled)
I really really want a new tattoo. Anyone know a good artist in Denmark? It will still be a couple of months before I can get one but I wouldn't mind checking out shops ahead of time.
The things we put on hold for our children... :) -
New Blog
I have decided to make a few changes to my blogging life. My needs for a blog have outgrown live journal so I have created new blogs for me and Twig. This does not mean I am abandoning LJ. I am just going back to what it used to be and making it a journal again. I love the communities here and I love the friends I have met on LJ. I love being able ( Read more... ) -
Who's a Garden 'Ho?
I killed the Monza. Ok, no I didn't really but we are currently down to one car and Mark doesn't know what's wrong with her. So if I want or need to go to the store I have to use the power of my feet. It's not so bad when I want to walk to the store but it blows big fat ones when I don't have a choice. I hope we can get her fixed or sort something ( Read more... ) -
Misha's Reply...
One of my girlfriends asked the other day (ok at least a month ago now. It took forever for me to get back to this) how and why did I get to where I am. It made me realize I have a lot of friends that don't know my whole story and how the American came to live in Denmark. So with Misha's permission I am copying her e-mail to me so I can answer it ( Read more... ) -
Trailers and Trucks and Dumps
Unless you own a farm there is no reason to drive or own a truck here. Ford's biggest seller here is the Focus not the F150. And forget about Chevy, non existent! So what do you do when you need to haul trash to the dump or help a friend move? You either buy or rent a trailer. I don't mean the enclosed kind but this is a small open top model. I ( Read more... ) -
Spring Fever
I have had a lot to blog about the past few weeks but just haven't found the time to be able to. So let's see where to begin...
Job Hunt: Not going so well. To date, I have sent out 30 applications and have gotten 1 interview. My odds would increase greatly if I could speak Danish. I am working on it. But for now if only someone would give me a ( Read more... ) -
Taxes
Even though I live and work (I will get a job I hope!) far far away from the USA I still have to file a tax return for the rest of my life. Hmph! I get some exclusions yadyadyada but its all a PITA. Dealing with foreign taxes is mind boggling. Thank god for the internet or I would be totally lost ( Read more... ) -
A Wee bit of Randomness before Bed
So I have several posts I have written offline and haven't gotten around to finishing them. Misha I haven't forgotten you! I meant to today I really did but I got distracted by shopping and Mark being home and a Twig and last but not least....SPRING! We went out for a walk with the dogs today and when we got home I didn't want to come in so I got ( Read more... ) -
Auntie Angel!
I don't have any pictures to post just yet but Julia Lysholdt-Hjarding was born on Saturday March 22, 2008. Johanne went into labor Friday evening and they did an emergency cesarean early Saturday morning. She was 4 weeks early and weighed only 2.2kg. Thats half of Twig when he was born! Both mommy and baby are doing well. it is expected she will ( Read more... ) -
I'm Dreaming of a....White EASTER!
Phew that was rough going through all of my old posts. They go way way WAY back in time. I can't believe I have had this journal since 2003! Everything should be all nice and neat and clean and friendly again. I only wanted to have posts public that are relevant to my life now. It doesn't change the past just no point in keeping it all out there ( Read more... )
