Trolls

I hate Trolls. A lot of Norwegian fairy tales are about Trolls, and so far I've avoided reading them to Troy since he gets easily scared. My instincts were right on. At day care they've read one about Trolls, and now he talks about Trolls all the time, and how he does not like them. Today he even told me that he didn't think it was safe enough at our house when dad wasn't here. Heh, as if I can't protect him from stupid Trolls.

She was only 15

Yesterday was my cousin's funeral. She was only 15 years old, killed by her neighbor, an 18 year old boy. We live in a small town, and the church was filled with people that knew her. It was so hard to see a father and a brother having to carry a casket. It really reminded me that we have to appreciate each and every day we have with each other.
A facebook site to remember her:

When tragedy strikes

I am not even sure where to begin this post. I feel like the world that I knew is gone, this super safe small town that I live in has changed. It used to be a place where you really did not have to worry about much. One week ago today all that changed, and Tuesday I am attending a funeral.

Really?

Maybe Purina's ad people should have stuck to Norwegian?

Tyfus

Inspired by Emil Troy painted his face blue. Unfortunateley it does not wash off.
