Cool Therapy

Last night I had two great "girls" over for some good food and fun. I prepared a self-made recipe by serving whole wheat tortillas, tomato salsa, avocado and grilled chicken breast with paprika.
Then you just stuff it all together and mmmmmmmmmmmm eat. Healthy and yummy.
After we inhaled the food (HUNGRY, a good sign I must say)we decided to play this board-game called Therapy.
The idea of the game is to, well I'll just write what the box says : a funny, engaging game with a twist of psychology. reveal surprising thing about human behavior. How well do you know your friends? How well do they know you? This game takes you through the six stages of life, infant stage, childhood, teens, adolescent and retirement.
LOL one of the questions: how cool do you think you are on a scale from 1-10? So the idea is to write it down, and the other players guess what you answered. If they get it right you get points.
A short summary: I'm not as smart as Einstein and I would love to be a magicians assistant ( nope ,all wrong..well hoping to be as smart as Einstein , but my friends disagreed ) And Sunbeam will in the future own a messy car, she can't read a map and she loves giving speeches to big crowds!! I did not know that...and my other Friend, Sleeping Beauty solves questions to complicated and makes small things really big..but lucky her, she did not get the most reveling questions. But next time Sleeping Beauty it will be yore turn to guess how cool we think you think you are hihihih.
I highly recommend this game!!
But one thing I was really bad at, was "think blots", the ink spots that are supposed to See what you think it is , or imagine. I got it wrong eveytime. One of them asked : what do most people see in this inkblot? a mustache, a bird or a but? well I answered a mustache...it was a but!




After the exam I'm going to drive my car to Bogahill and spend time with my dearest dearest "bøtteknott". I miss spending time with her and the rest of her family ;-) M is always asking if we can go to jilliam and nesse and papa Kenni. And we always have a good time there :-)
it's like recharging the batteries for the sole.

Motivation

Lately I have been wanting to do some changes. Not major big changes, just enough to change the direction of my path. But where to start??
Doing things that challenges the body and mind is for me the ultimate kick. It's no secrete that I love horses. And I guess the reason is the camaraderie and the feeling of being complete. Just doing something that makes you feel god about yourself.
Last semester I took a class in psychology. The lecturer was a one of those people you never forget. He is truly one of a kind. The way he talked, acted and presented himself was just amazing. It probably sounds weird, but some people just have that x-factor. And he has the x and the rest of the alphabet.
Well my point being is that his lectures were about motivation ( just one of the topics) To have someone clearly spell it out what you should or need to do is an eye opener. (I guess it is always better to hear it from others, than the people close to you.) But everyone knows it's not easy to just get up and DO IT! So I tend to reminisce his lectures and try to get up. And now I have. I'm going to (try) learn how to surf. I'm not about to explain why surfing, it's relay to complicated, even for me to understand. But still, it's what I want to do.
And I'm even happier that a dear friend is joining me on this adventure. I will call her Sunbeam (actually got that idea from her to nickname the friends to keep their anonymity)So miss Sunbeam I hope you are ready to challenge the Waves and hopefully the instructor will be as we are hoping...

We have not yet set the date, but I guess it will happen in April or May.
BTW, Sunbeam is probably one of those people who just has it, the x-factor. And lucky me, she is a friend of mine.

exam nervs and a sick 3 yearold

This new day started early..actually five minutes past midnight. My daughter M, threw up, and all I could think of was, I would miss out on a whole day studying for my exam next Wednesday. That's what happens when I'm in the exam modes. But after looking at poor M, those thought blew away. Once a mom, always a mom. So I pulled out all the kind loving words I could think of, trying to calm her down. After showering and new clothes and a quick brush of the teeth she was happy. (children are so perfect that way )
So we watched cartoons (well she did, I slept beside her )for a while. In the morning I woke up in my bed, she was sleeping on the couch. The whole ordeal was over for this time, thank god for that.
M was terrible tired the rest of the day, so I could get most of the house chores done. My dog, Chivaz was confused, why are they all home? is it Saturday? wow can we go outside for a walk? poor thing, he kept following me around trying to figure out why we are all inside and not doing anything that makes sense. I let him outside, and to his excitement SNOW SNOW.
It has been a long day, but still a good day. M got better, I got to spend time with her, and Chivaz. I guess one has to find the good in the bad..
