Lucky, lucky, lucky!

I read in the news today that a 20 year old guy won the lottery last night.
A staggering 31,7 million NOK.
Thats about 5,3 mill USD (I think...lol)
In other words - a heck of a lot of money!!!
And to think, this guy is just 20?
Wow - talk about having your life laid out for you.

Then I started thinking - what would I have done if I had won that much money at that age?
Truth be told - I'd be very likely to "waste" loads of it on stuff I didn't need. :)
I would, of course, be a good girl and put most of it in the bank somehow - and I'd be sure to have enough left that I wouldn't have to "struggle" with anything.
But come on!!!!
With that much money, I'd be almost compelled to spend some of it on completely useless crap and I'd probably feel great about it too...

So dude!
Go spend some money. Travel the world, buy a new car.
You can do anything now. Anything you want!
Congrats! I'm jealous - but congratulations!!

Når ord blir fattige.

Når ord blir fattige og hjertet blør, da finner jeg det naturlig og greit å bruke ord som andre har skrevet. Et dikt som jeg selv har funnet styrke i mang en gang. Først da jeg som 15-åring mistet en betydelig person i mitt liv, og senere da jeg mistet mitt eget barn. Ord som er så sterke for meg at det bringer den smerten jeg dypt begraver til overflaten gjennom den første linjen. Jeg vet hvordan de har det nå, de som sitter igjen med et barn for lite. De som ikke kan forstå at de aldri mer skal høre stemmen til deres nære. Jeg vet hvor vanskelig det er å skulle åpne øynene og møte en ny dag. Og så en til. Og så en til. Jeg ble fortalt, gang på gang, at alt blir bedre etterhvert. Men ingen fortalte meg noen gang hvordan jeg skulle leve akkurat da. Ingen kunne si meg hvor jeg skulle hente styrke til å stå opp og ta den dusjen om morgenen, smøre ei skive til frokost og komme seg på jobb. Og ingen fortalte meg hvordan jeg skulle klare å takle demonene som fortsatt besøker meg når det er ...

Finally!!!

After what feels like forever, my wish has finally come true. Joey DeGraw is coming to Oslo to play! It's been a spring full of emailing, calling and a lot of organizing to try and get Joey a gig over here. It's felt like a ton of work, yet I didn't really get anywhere. Then my friend Monica stepped up and got Joey a gig at a small, but very cozy pub called Buckley's in Oslo. I'm exited. Thats an understatement! I get to see Joey in the city I live in. No fuzz with travelling and no stress what so ever. It will be amazing. All I need to do is to sit down with a drink and enjoy some great music. This summer is saved, no matter what happens, cuz I get to see Joey DeGraw LIVE! :)

Before.

Just thought I'd show you a "before" picture of the room we're fixing up... I'll get more pics as we go.. :)
