I dag fyller favoritt tanten min, den fantastiske Madam Berni, år! Wow, en nydelig kvinne - og hun driver fremdeles gutta til vanvidd!
Ønsker deg en fantastisk bursdagsfeiring! Håper du og mamma storkoser dere i London! Kyss, klapp og klem fra Oslo!

Friday Fling!

I'm a day late on the weekend report, so HAPPY WEEKEND!

I'm hope you're enjoying a few days off! Hey, you might even have started your Easterbreak already? You lucky devil, you!! Though I have no reason to complain, I've have had free from work since Wednesday evening. Celebrating my birthday on Thursday, lazy Friday with a small visit to my beau's parents + uncle & aunt, and today we've had another lazy day. Sleeping in, brunch omelet, loads of coffee and TV & internet surfing. Nice day.

I'm home alone! The world's greatest room-mates have gone on vacation, and this evening E & AC are coming over. We're going to cook up something delicious and then watch loads of movies, chat and just hang out. Most of the people I know are going on holiday, so I'll have to get a dose of socialising while I can. Just me & my beau in town. I'm going to be working in the restaurant quite a lot the next week, but there will still be plenty of time for some fun. Got any tips for us?

In anycase, have a fantastic weekend & a wonderful, relaxing holiday!

Birthday girl!

A year older and none the wiser! Today is my 29th year on this planet, and the last year in my 20's. I'm planning on making it a fabulous year!! I've had a fantastisk day - my beau took me out for birthday brunch at Jan Vardøen's new diner here in Grüneløkka, The Nighthawks Diner - yummy! Oh, and yes, the pink plastic flamingo is a present - isn't he fab?

Thanks for all the birthday greetings, gifts and attention!

Ett år eldre og ikke det granne mer vis. Idag fyller jeg 29 år, som betyr at jeg er inne på mitt siste år i 20-årene. Jeg satser på å gjøre det til et supert år!! Jeg har hatt en fantastisk dag - min kjære tok meg med på bursdagslunsj på Jan Vardøens nyeste restaurant her på løkka, The Nighthawks Diner - nam nam! Og, den rosa, plastikk flamingoen er en gave - er han ikke super?

Tusen, tusen takk for alle bursdagshilsene, gaver og ikke minst oppmerksomhet!

Thank you, darling!

I must have the nicest boyfriend in the world. This evening he made us an omelette for supper. Served it to me with my name written in ketchup on a slice of bread. And it was absolutely delicious! Darling, thank you for being such a fabulous guy! :0x

Jeg er ganske sikker på at jeg har verdens snilleste kjærste. Han lagde omelett til oss til kvelds, og jeg fikk den ferdig servert med navnet mitt skrevet i ketsjup på en skive brød. Og selvsagt smakte omeletten helt fantastisk! Takk for at du er så fantastisk, min kjære! :0x

Friday Fling - special report!

Tick-tock, tick-tock, the count-down to tiki-time has begun!

Happy Friday! Here at the fabulous flat shared with my dear friend T, we're gearing up for a party. And that's not just any old type of party - it's tiki themed and fabulous! That's right, tomorrow it's again time for our annual TIKI PARTY! I'm soo looking forward to this...

Right now you find my busy in the kitchen (well, right now I'm on the net, but then again I've got to find something to do inbetween the cooking), with yellow flowers in my hair ...and a dress cut down to there (just kidding about the last part)! The welcome punch is sorted out, and while Beachboys is blasting out of the speakers, I'm busy with a tasty tiki-related surprise! Oh, and last Sunday my honey & I went on a small expedition to the giftshop at the Kon-Tiki museum at Bygdøy to buy tiki mugs. Unfortunately we sort of over slept and didn't have time to see the museum itself. Too bad, but there will be another chance soon.

By now I guess you've already realised that I've gone tiki-crazy (again), and that all this post is going to be about. Nothing much planned for today except preparations. A few last items to get our hands on: alcohol, decorations and food. And then there's the decorating this evening. Dearest E will be coming over to help us with that part - yeah, the girls getting ready for another party!

On another note, Mommy Dearest is coming to stay the night on Sunday. She's heading off to London to visit the world's cooles aunt! I'm glad she's popping buy, 'cause I don't think I've seen her since x-mas.


Have a fabulous weekend! Tiki-style! :D

I've got an itch - I've got bitten by the travelbug













My feet are itching! Itching to see & explore the world! Oh, how I wish I was bound for new adventures! Must travel, must travel soon! Wanderlust!

Jeg klør! Klør etter å se og oppleve verden. Å, skulle ønske at jeg var på vei ut i den store verden på nye eventyr. Må reise, må reise snart! Wanderlust!

Friday Fling!

Fabelaktig fredag! Lat morgen her i heimen med sen frokost og sofasløving. Venter spent på en leveranse fra Fedex. Har bestilt kjole fra USA til årets Tiki-party. Litt utålmodig.... Kan de ikke bare komme snart!!!!

Planer for helgen er litt butikkjobbing i kveld, dagvakt på restauranten i morgen og en aldri så liten bursdagsfeiring på kveldstid. Jobber også med et aldri så lite spiselig tiki-prosjekt, for ja, det er det er jo knapt en uke til Tiki-partyet går av stabelen og av erfaring er det viktig å være ute i god tid når man får fikse ideer og prosjekter. Ikke minst, det er nok til det beste for alle rundt meg for jeg blir jo som kjent litt vel entusiastisk når det kommer til alt som er tiki.

Men, nå var det på tide å presse snuten tett inntil vinduet og vente på Fedex-bilen igjen.


Ha en fantastisk helg!

Cookie-monster weekend greeting!

The past month I've been a bad blogger. Naturally I've got a bunch of excuses & explanations as to why I've been missing in action, but I really can't be bothered trying to explaing why. The important thing is that I'm announcing my comeback!
One thing's for sure, you haven't been missing out on happenings in my life. A quick summery: eat, work, sleep, work, work, eat, sleep, etc... Luckily there's been some time left over for socialising too. Coffee @ Bocata, dinner & catching up with friends, a night out with the girls, and lots of time for cuddling with Mr. F. Good times!

This evening I'm at the restaurant. Quite a few guests keeping us busy, but elsewise little action in the office [baby heared screaming its lungs out in the distance...]. So I'm keeping myself entertained surfing the net for guides to vintage hair & make-up, screen-shopping for clothes and eating cookies. As it's Saturday I decided to treat myself to... well, a treat, and so I tried this new cookie called Dots. Very similar to the famous Oreo - especially the biscuit is very similar in taste, but the filling is sooo much better! It seems to be more "sour" (for lack of a better word). Still creamy, but not as sweet as the O. I think that's a good thing as I quickly get nauseous after just a couple of Oreos. Though perhaps not - I ate the whole box... :S

...back to the entertainment-part. I'm really considering going totally pin-up. In fact, I've been rather fascinated by glamour gilrs of the 1950's for quite some time now. Often finding inspiration in illustrations for hair, make-up and clothing (haha, oxymoron) for the nights out with the girls. Haven't gone the full mile yet, but I'm really considering turning 100% 50's style.
What do you thing - to be or not to be?

Have a fabulous week-end!

Jeg har vært dårlig til å blogge den siste måneden. Selvfølgelig har jeg et helt arsenal med forklaringen og unnskyldninger, men jeg gidder virkelig ikke å prøve å bortforklare det en gang. Det viktigste er at jeg nå gjør et comeback!
En ting er sikkert og visst, du har ikke gått glipp av mye. En rask oppsummering følger: spise, jobbe, sove, jobbe, jobbe, spise, sove, osv... Heldigvis har det også vært rom for å boltre seg litt sosialt. Kaffe @ Bocata, middag med gode venner man ikke har sett på en stund, byturer med jentene, og selvfølgelig masse tid for kos med Mr. F. Good times!

I kveld finner du meg på jobb i restauranten. En del gjester og da er det jo alltids litt å gjøre, men ellers lite å finne på [en baby hyler for fulle lunger i bakgrunnen...]. Underholder meg selv med surfing på nettet: på jakt etter "how-to's" på vintage hår & sminke, skjerm-shopping, i tillegg til å nyte cookies. Siden det tross alt er lørdag må man ha noe godt å kose seg med, og dagens valg falt på "Dots", en ny type kjeks. Ligner veldig på verdenskjente Oreos - sjokoladekjeksen er særlig lik i smak, men fyllet er mye, mye bedre! I mangle på bedre ord for å beskrive den, vil jeg si at den smaker litt surere". Fremdeles veldig kremete, men ikke like søt som Oen. synes det er helt supert siden jeg fort blir kvalm av å spise Oreos, men samtidig, kanskje ikke. Jeg har spist rubbel og bit... :S

...tilbake til det med underholdning. Jeg vurderer å bli total pin-up. Faktisk har jeg i lang tid nå vært ganske så fasinert av 1950-tallets glamorøse damer, og lar meg ofte inspirere av bilder når det kommer til hår, sminke og klær (haha, litt av et paradoks) når bytur med damene står for tur. Har ikke tatt skrittet helt ut ennå, men som sagt, jeg vurderer å bli 100% 50-talls. Så, hva tror du - å være eller ikke være?

Ha en fabelaktig helg!
