Spent part of the weekend on a family trip at a wildlife park situated in a quaint little area up in the mountains.
I wasn’t exactly looking forward to a boring 3 hour drive to the middle of nowhere, but it turned out surprisingly enjoyable and I got to see things I don’t normally see on a daily basis.
Got to see some interesting animals..
… the lynxes being my...

Ready for the weekend
I finally get to relax. (:
Candlelit room, nails done, good music, no stress, worry free…
And I get a goodnight’s sleep
Lovely nights

Unhealthy days..
Mine is today, indulgent and undisciplined. Not a very pivotal moment of my week, but I’m happy nonetheless. (:
Fettish: Retro animated films with amazing illustrations and passé graphics
Peeves: Safari. My disorganized computer files. Certain people’s immodesty and lack of class.
Hungry for: Ballerina kjeks
Anticipating: Favorite mexican restaurant tomorrow and hunting for my...

Weekend in pictures
Managed to get work done at the embassy early Friday morning (and not only then but also in the beginning of the week and the end as well. #proudofmyself)
Stopped by the loveliest pâtisserie, Pascal’s
And of course bought some macaroons (or little colored “krabby patties” as my brother calls them) as a reward to myself
And later enjoyed them with this sauvignon...

Made a big mistake trying to enjoy my chocolate mousse whilst watching James and the Giant Peach; lovely old film and all but I forget it’s not the most appetizing. Surely tested my gag reflex, if anything. Oh well, another day, mousse.

Word of the day month: discipline. Gotta start sometime.

Hormones are out of control, as is my desk.
Clearly, I’ve been super unstructured and lazy lately. AND IT MUST STOP.
And I really should be exercising and what not. But at least I’m drinking more water, thanks to my lovely new sports bottle. :D
Pretty ridiculous how I need a water bottle like this to get me to drink enough water, whatever though. (:

18. Et hjørne av hjemmet ditt - A corner of your home
… withholds hidden treasure which we so conveniently stumbled upon whilst desperately searching every corner of the house for an empty cd to write on. Just so happens that this “hidden treasure” resurrected tons of ancient images from years ago that I’d thought to be long gone.
(Lol at my sister’s self-made...

13. Opp - Up
- the position of my feet right about now. Elevated. Relaxing after working a seemingly long day only because of an agonizing and not to mention everlasting migraine that nearly made my head explode. Other than that, my day was rather pleasant. (:

12. Noe du hater å gjøre - Something you hate to do
One amongst the batch: going to sleep early. Generally I feel more positive, upbeat and productive at night so I try not to waste it by going to sleep early.

Downed an enormous cup of milk in hopes of maybe falling asleep super early tonight since I have to get up super early for work tomorrow.
Also began reading my sister’s book. Currently going through a bakery phase. Kinda wanna own a bakery now so I could style it and have lovely desserts everywhere and so I could go to a visually appealing work place everyday. A...

5. Et tegn - A sign
Super random road signs that mean absolutely nothing to me, taken on my way to work as an act of desperation. It was harder to find a clever sign or even just a remotely interesting sign than I had initially thought.
