Viking Conquest: June 2008
http://vikingconquest.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Jun 26, 2008. It's been difficult to keep up with my blogging following our re-entry into Canadian life (love that word - re-entry. Like a spaceship coming in for landing). In addition to the usual time constraints of a hectic household with two adults working and kids in elementary school, we've had to hammer out renovation plans, not to mention catch up on our social life after a year of hermit-like existence. The empowerment of having a choice, I suppose. All day long. In the vein of:. So this morning...

Viking Conquest: May 2008
http://vikingconquest.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
May 31, 2008. Between car options, birthday parties, countertop issues, camp planning, flooring choices, field trips and kitchen cabinet selections - not to mention catching up with friends here in Canada - I've been running around like a mad woman. I've had no time to gather my thoughts, let alone write about them here in my lovely, peaceful corner of the bloggy world. Labels: Life Getting In the Way of Blogging. May 28, 2008. Just In Case You Wondered. Not Really Wordless Wednesday. May 27, 2008. Most ...

Viking Conquest: February 2008
http://vikingconquest.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Feb 29, 2008. In our continuing mission to make Benjamin motion sick as frequently as possible this year, we are jetting off to La Plagne in France tomorrow. Thus, we're in the midst of a packing frenzy, snowpants, jackets, hats and gloves flying this way and that, as I try to guess just how many pairs of mitts a boy can possibly soak in a single day. Mike is downstairs stuffing the ski bags with skis, poles, helmets, boots and other goodies. This will be my first ever. Feb 28, 2008. Did I expect to find...

lily potter knits: poem in your pocket day
http://lilypotterknits.blogspot.com/2009/04/poem-in-your-pocket-day.html
Being an account of my knitting- and family-filled life. Thursday, April 30, 2009. Poem in your pocket day. When reading it, or maybe because of the gruesome picture of a hand reaching up out of the water, with a drop of blood hanging off its finger (the picture below, Inchcape Rock by Gerry Lazare. Isn't the exact one from the book, but it's pretty close). Regardless, to this day if you say to anyone in my family "Oh Christ! They'll reply "It is the Inchcape Rock! Inchcape Rock by Robert Southey. And th...

http://vikingconquest.blogspot.com/2008/06/wherein-author-whines.html
Jun 4, 2008. Wherein The Author Whines. They keep telling me it's like we never left. That we've all just slipped right back into Canadian life again. And for two weeks that's been great. I've been on the go pretty much since we returned to Canada, trying to nail down our reno plans, getting the kids settled in school, looking at new cars, organizing play dates and sleepovers, fixing things around the house. It's kept me occupied and darker thoughts away. My children's lives are different now. Less i...

Being an account of my knitting- and family-filled life. Thursday, May 29, 2008. Is this thing on? Oh, hello there! Yes, I know it's been awhile (holy crap, has it really been over. Since I've talked to you, and I'm sorry if you were worried. it's just that things have been a bit hectic here. See, I'm 16 weeks pregnant, right? And I've got this 2-year-old cyclone, er. I haven't been keeping up on the housework either? And enter yourself in my contest. The two colors look gorgeous together, and the yarn i...

Viking Conquest: April 2008
http://vikingconquest.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Apr 30, 2008. You Say Goodbye I Say Hello. Thank you so much for your lovely comments on my post yesterday. I felt much better after reading them. You are all so right - this is just the start of a new adventure, not the end of anything. Norway will still be there. Following a manic last-minute packing session, we flew off yesterday afternoon after a slightly teary, but all in all fairly stoic goodbye with my family. This is a suite! I think my boy will be disappointed next time we check into a Holiday I...

Jun 13, 2008. And The Winner Is. I love it. We've ordered it. Now we have to wait 12 -. Weeks for it to ship from Italy.

Viking Conquest: November 2007
http://vikingconquest.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Nov 30, 2007. There's no mice in Norway". To Mike - last year, after discovering suspicious signs in our cold room. There are mice in Canada. And why do we live in Canada? Because one of us is Canadian. So, who's to blame for this mouse situation. That would be.YOU. I'll admit I was slightly wound up and possibly freaking out a tiny bit - I don't do well with rodents, so I'd had better days. You know,. It didn't help matters that the mouse. It is D.I.S.G.U.S.T.I.N.G. Cue the happy music. So, imagine my g...
