Standing Up For The Judges

2012-01-21T00:37:00.000Z

In the past few months I have had to appear in a court of law on several occasions, due to a matter that I will not discuss here. I can't say that this is my first time in court, but they were under different circumstances so I can't really use them to compare with. But what I just came to realize is that I have been showing the judges disrespect in my manners. In case you don't know this,

The Never Ending Winter

2012-01-19T00:25:00.000Z

Before I get to what I was gonna blog about, let me just say that the experiment from last night was a perfect success. Neither one of them took it with them to school this morning 'cos they've already doomed me as a yogurt maker but I made them taste it when they came home from school and both of them ate them up, although my daughter did complain about it still being sour. I told her that

The Yogurt Problem

2012-01-18T00:33:00.000Z

When I was growing up, yogurt was not a part of my diet. I'm not even sure if they had it here when I was a kid, at least my mom never bought it. When I started buying my own food I would sometimes buy myself a yogurt but there wasn't much selection and I had one favorite that I would only buy. When my kids started school and I would have to pack them lunch boxes I would sometimes pack them a

New Eating Habits

2012-01-10T11:39:00.001Z

I have been having problems with feeding my children in the past few years. Not because there isn't any food or no money to buy any food, but because my kids only like to eat stuff that I hate to cook and get sick by the thought of eating; processed, salty, deep fried and filled with artificial sugars, preservatives, FAT and all kinds of disgusting shit. So there's a constant dilemma going on

Lost Friend

2011-06-03T17:07:00.001Z

I've lost a friend. A very dear friend that understood me so well, never judged me and allowed me to share all my heart's secrets without ever making me feel guilty or ashamed. My dear friend who was always so close, no matter how far, couldn't be much more from the heart. Forever trusting who we were and nothing else mattered. I never opened myself this way, life was ours, we lived it our

HEY!

2010-09-24T00:17:00.002Z

Been trying to meet you... Must be a devil between us or whores in my head, whores at my door, whores in my bed... But hey! Where... Have you... Been? If you go I will surely die, we're chained... UH! said the man to the lady. UH! said the lady to the man she adored and the whores like a choir go UH all night and Mary ain't you tired of this? UH! is the sound that the mother makes when the

HELLISH LUNCH-PACKING DUTY

2010-09-21T23:07:00.000Z

Today I read an article by a woman complaining about the hell of packing your kid's lunch boxes for school. I always thought I was alone in this hell but turns out I'm not! What a great feeling. Evidently she to has a problem getting her son to eat the hot meals at school and can't figure out how to pack lunch that he will NOT bring back home at the end of the day, completely untouched. Last

SEA SWIMMING IN ICELAND

2010-09-19T15:40:00.014Z

Iceland is in the Atlantic Ocean. Way up NORTH in the Atlantic Ocean. The temperature of the sea around the country varie s from between 3-15°C depending on location and season. I live in Reykjavík which is located in the South West corner of Iceland, on a bay called Faxaflói and there is a little cove called Nauthólsvík. That's where I go to swim. The temperature of the sea when I went

WHATEVER...

2010-09-18T14:58:00.001Z

Two years since my last post... ...well. The reason for why it's been so long since I posted anything on here is because someone invaded my life and started harrassing me in any way possible. (You know who you are, if you're reading this!) I was scared and paranoid and worried about what my blog might trigger in this person's sick mind. So I just stopped. This person hasn't stopped

A BEAUTIFUL SMILE

2008-08-19T21:45:00.004Z

Today I had to run an errand for my job. I drove down to Borgartún, parked the car in the parking lot by the old Heimilistæki store and walked down the street towards the Borgarverkfræðing's office. (Can't bet bothered finding the name for this in English, but it's irrelevant to the story, so it don't matter ;) I was just walking there, minding my own business and thinking. Thinking about

WHY VACATIONING WITH KIDS IS NOT REALLY AN ACTUAL HOLIDAY FOR MUMMY

2008-08-16T16:25:00.009Z

After having spent a whole week with my kids, traveling around the country and doing nothing but chilling, relaxing and having fun, I finally feel like I'm actually ON holiday, now that I'm back home. You may ask yourself, how come. Well, let me tell you how come: 1. Three kids, sharing a backseat together for several hours do not last very long before they start either fighting, yelling and

RUNNING AND READING

2008-08-15T21:26:00.005Z

I'm really amazed about how much my kids can run. Wherever I take them they are always running and they never get tired. They will be sitting down, comfortably eating or reading or talking or whatever and then suddenly they jump up and they start running. I don't know where they get this from, suddenly not from me. But it's good to know that they can run. Sometimes, when they are driving me

BEAUTY IN THE LITTLE THINGS

2008-08-07T08:58:00.003Z

I woke up early this morning and was just laying there for a little while, waiting for my brain to turn on properly, listening to the sounds from outside and just having a quiet little moment. But I heard some weird sound also that at first I could not identify so I started listening more closely. I then realized that my little girl was laying right next to me, cuddling her big freakin' "doggie"

IN MEMORY OF HIROSHIMA & NAGASAKI

2008-08-06T23:30:00.005Z

63 years ago, 220.000 individuals were slaughtered in the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. It was a big step for mankind, a step backwards. It was a sad day in the history of mankind and we should never allow for it to be forgotten. This evening I attended an annual gathering at the pond in Reykjavík with my children and we set a float candles in the memory of those people and all other

GET SET, READY, GO!

2008-08-05T22:21:00.005Z

It has finally been established now, the decision that I have been struggling with all summer. I don't think I have ever taken so long to decide anything before, in my entire life. I would move to a different country in a blink of an eye. I would get married without thinking twice about it. I can't even count the times I've bought all kinds of stupid things without losing any sleep at all over it

ANOTHER EXPERIMENT

2008-08-05T17:40:00.004Z

This is not my first blog. I have various blogging experiences, all of them anonymous, including Fluga on mbl.is and Veleda on visir.is. But this is my first time, blogging under my own name. I have no idea what I'm gonna blog about or how frequently, I just know that I have an urgent need to express myself and the best way i know how to is to write.So, there you go. Read it and weap ;)
