Doggy in the Window

Who do those demonic, glowing eyes belong to? Honey Bunny, of course! She has figured out that if she jumps on top of the kitchen counter, the view outside is lovely. I am always struggling with keeping the cats off of the counter, but I never thought I would have to contend with pawprints from the tufted toes of a golden retriever!

Oh well, I really need to go study for my big Norwegian test tomorrow. I have procrastinated enough--I went out for dinner with a friend and chatted for far too long, vacuumed the whole house, and now I am wasting time on the computer. I did study a little last night...my notes really cracked me up. There is one student in the class who is obsessed with politics and history, so among all my Norwegian translations of innocuous phrases like, "Are you married?", "How old are your children?", "Do you like to play football?" and "What did you eat for breakfast?" there are occasional sentences like, "Many women were slaughtered in the war", and "Child warriors are the most vicious of them all, for they know not what they do." I have a feeling we won't be tested on those particular sentiments tomorrow...

Finally, happy "Kvinnedag" to all you ladies out there! In Norway, one way "Women's Day" is celebrated is by men preparing their wives a nice dinner. I guess since Kevin is half way around the world right now, I'll let it slide this year. Next year, I'm hoping for candlelight, flowers and all the chocolate I can eat!
