I want it I need it desperately!!!
I'm dying I want to read it so bad! *crying* seriously I think this whole thing is a plot to make me go crazy! The library only has the first three books in English and only one copy of each and they are out and taken until God knows when, and the Icelandic version of Twilight just came out so I could read that but really I'd rather read it in English... I guess I'll just read the first one in English and then read them all in English when I get my hands on them... I just really want to read it...
I held Edward in my arms yesterday, I was in Hagkaup and there it was lying on the table just 4000 Kr. from me... I held him, (Twilight is the book Edward is the main Vampire for those who don't know) I stroked it's spine, I opened it and read a few words, I didn't want to stop, I didn't want to part with it but Gummi dragged me away saying something about to expensive *bawling*
well I'm off to fantasise about reading the book

illness...
Dear Internet
I'm so tired, and sick and stuffy and I feel like cr@p... I just wish I would get better ASAP...
yes this will be one more complaining post -I'm getting good at that am I not? ugh...
Kapitola has been sick almost a week, and I got sick again yesterday, Gummi, Ragnar and I were sick last weekend too so this isn't fair...
well to more mundane topics.
I've been climbing Mt. Washmore like crazy the past week, which was a task that I had been putting off... but I feel pretty good about myself.
although this was on the expanse of the rest of the home, I washed, hung/dried, folded and put away clothes but I still have far to go... I need to sort through Kap's clothes, she has so much stuff in her closet that is too small for her, and I need to put those in vacuum bags and put them away, and she is growing out of all the girl clothes that I have for her so she's already started to wear a lot of Ragnar's old clothes, and Ragnar was even asked the other day what his brother's name was...*sigh*
Well Ragnar has also been growing like WEED and he's now outgrown a couple more jeans, I need to buy him some more I think... he's getting SO big...
well I got a bit sidetracked and forgot what I was going to write so here we go...

Money doesn't create happiness...
...but does lack of money result in lack of happyness?
Dear Internet.
I'm not complaining over our situation, I'm happy about the money that we have I just wish we knew how to have money, seeing as we went so long without any and then finally when we have some it feels it's not nearly enough KWIM? Only because we don't know how to control our spending ones we finally have money...
I've been thinking alot about what I WANT not what I need - what I want is totally diffrent...I have everything that I need...
So for the things I WANT:
I want a house! That is my number one desire I want an old house that needs maintance and the it's MY maintance MY responsibility. I want to have a cealing that is not the floor of someone other then my family, I want a floor that is not a cealing of some random neighbour I want a HOUSE. I want walls that aren't connected to other peoples walls, I want to have a bathroom that doesn't share a wall with the appartment next door. Think of this, when I take a shower more often then not I hear the water running in the shower next door. To think that while I'm in there shaving my legs or what ever a person is doing that too less then 20 cm away from me! OK we're seperated by a wall but really how much does a wall do?
When me and my husband are "intemede" our headboard is resting snuggly against a wall the same person who showers next to me has her headboard against. besides the fact that while we make love odds are that we are right on top of a nice old great grandmother...yes that is sexy don't you think!??
I want a HOUSE I don't want to share any part of my "wrappings" with another family. I want to have space.
Another thing I don't really need but want is money to travel, to us packing the kids up and going to Reykjavík is a big upheaval and traveling. also costs so much that this is the only thing we can afford to do.
I also wouldn't mind new furniture. I'm not talking something expensive or fancy (although there is a very expensive and fancy dining room set I dream of sometimes) but just something that we didn't buy second hand and ugly... I also would like a real piano... I rather that over the digital one we have ;)
now again I'm not complaining over the things we have, I'm happy that I can give my family beds to sleep in and chairs to sit on and tables to eat off. I'm also very happy that I can provide my son a piano to play on even though it's a digital one instead of a real one.
I wouldn't mind a laptop and a new computer as well but I'm thankful for the computer that we have. we can do everything we need to do on it.
I wouldn't mind a new tv. ours doesn't have a remote (this is my fault I threw it on the floor and smashed it) and it is also very small. but again I'm very happy and thankful that we not only have one color tv but two! and Ragnar's TV (in his room) even has a remote (although his room is so small that there really is no need for a remote)
I wouldn't mind a new car either, I still dream of a Scoda Octavia that isn't quite as thirsty as my lovely new Corolla, but I'm really thankful that we managed to upgrade my first car (Colleen do you remember my blue car that we drove around in listening to big empty by stone temple pilots, now picture that car with two grown ups, two children one of which in a rearfacing carseat and add luggage and stroller - I know not possible!) this summer into our Corolla which we LOVE everything about exept the gas usage...
I also dream often of a spare room with an old bed, a rug on the floor, our records in a shelf and our radio/mixer/recordplayer and a couple of guitars on the wall, I think in that room we'd also have the synth and a big amp. and my mom's old desk. this would be our music room.
I also dream of a spare room small crammed with shelfs on every wall and stuff and mess all over somewhere in a pile on the desk you would be able to find a sewing machine if you looked closely and on another desk there would be abundance of scrapbooking supplyes in boxes on the floor you could find all the stuff that I have no place to put but hold some kind of a sentimental value and somewhere in there would be a desktop. that would be MY room where I could keep all the junk I wanted and sort through as I liked without any outside influenses :)
and on that room would be a padlock!!! which only I had the key to;) LOL
Now enough dreaming... this is something that won't happen any time soon...

Overflow....
Dear Internet.
I feel like I'm a little in over my head to be honest, I'm such an idiot, I volunteered to be in the PTA board... in Ragnar's school... and there I volunteered to be "secretary" which I thought wouldn't be any problem but truly I feel so overwhelmed by the whole thing *sigh* I have to write down everything that happens during the meetings and post them on the website, which in part I can do - it's no problem to set things like that up in Word - but I don't know how the program Frontpage works nor do I have it set up on my computer so I think I may be in trouble... seeing as that is the program used to put things onto the webpage.... Well then I was asked to make the poster for the Yule-play and I'm not sure how well I'm doing with that... I feel so lost in this whole thing...:(
On top of all we had to come down with something the day before yesterday and have been mostly in bed since - all of us - *sigh* And tomorrow Gummi starts work again AND has a first aid class (they take those a couple of times a year in his line of duty) and I have Computer class and I'm so not willing to miss out more on Excel - I really really really want to learn how to use excel well! and then there is Ragnar's piano class and then afterwards Ragnar's group piano class - and this is just too much for me :( And the results of being mostly in bed all weekend is a messy home to acompany us into the hectic week ahead and that means a messy home all week if I'm intending to even show up in class let alone study for them...*sigh* I've come to the conclusion that I'm on overload and I can't seem to catch a break... *sigh*
Well enough whining for today, thank you for listening Internet.

Wishful thinking...
Hi Internet!
Today the viking lotto had a double pot, which means a whole lot of money... and we played it...Gummi and I fantasiced about what we would do with the money if we were to win - which we didn't expect or anything - just the usual meaningless talk of wishful thinking... so we are watching the balls pop up into the shoot first 28, then 9 then 12 all of which were in one row on our ticket I gasped thinking this might be it but alas 36 came up and I had no such number because I don't recall ever living in a house with that number... *sigh* then more numbers unknown to my home history came up and the dream was gone... and for some silly reason I was actually disappointed?!? Why?!? because for one fleeting moment I thought "I can maybe buy a house!"*sigh*
I don't buy tickets often but for some reason I had a "feeling" this time around... *sigh*
I just wish we would get enough money to buy this house we want and not be in dept so deep we can never resurfice KWIM?
well I'm going to go paint some more ;) later Internet!

Jól Alla Daga,,,
Dear Internet!
I'm just now realising that Christmas is looming around the corner and it's starting to both get me exited and stressed...
We will most likely spent Christmas eve with my mother in law and sister in law since bother Gummi and Father in law are working that night. We plan on exchanging the presents of Gummi's family there, and then the rest we will probably open and exchange on 25 Dec with my family...
I've done NO Christmas preperation AT ALL, Mt. Washmore has been growing over the last few weeks as my schedule seems tighter then ever, and my procrestination is really taking it's toll on the house - along with my homework...*sigh*.
I'm going to make a list of Christmas presents so that I can go shopping next saturday hopefully...we'll see how that one pans out...I hope to have all Christmas presents wrapped and ready by 1 Dec... we'll see if that will truly happen... I'm also hoping to have the Christmas cards out by then - we'll see if that's being optemistic...
later my dear Internet,

Follow Through...
Dear Internet,
I'm starting to think I severely lack follow through..I'm such a dreamer
I want so many things but most of them are quite impossible...
I have been dreaming about a house for weeks on end now - seriously dreams while I'm sleeping dreaming...
It's an old house built over one hundred years ago, which means it is getting on in years...and it's not been taken very good care of... so it's a real fixer upper...
I'm thinking this might be too much for us... seeing as how I lack follow through I'm pretty scared that if so unlikely happens that we manage to actually buy the house - let alone move in! We'll never be able to get to the point of fixing the things that desperately need fixing and that would be really sad...
I don't know why I'm thinking so much about this house - it's just - we're so sick of having to share walls... I mean - walls is ok I guess but the part that our floor is on top of the ceiling of a persons appartment is just to much for me - not that we get any noise complaints but I certainly wouldn't want to be our neighbours...
And that's not all, I have this same problem when it comes to disaplining my children, I have no follow through...
This is also a recurring problem when it comes to my goal of loosing weight - I really want to get back to my old self - I miss that... I just don't have any will power when it comes to unhealthy eating and sweets.... I also have this problem about working out at home - I have no modivation to do that...
All in all - I'm in desperate need of a follow through - think I can buy that somewhere in a store? whole sale maybe? "20 packages follow through please, thank you that will be all"
I'm going to go tear out my hair at the clutter my kids are spreading all over the house - I can't wait to sit on the sofa and find legos up my butt UGH!
Later Internet!
