Two of Us

Well, I thought I would have the urge to update this blog more often, but it seems to not be the case.

Travis had the day off on Friday, so we went to the Historical Museum (Historisk museum). There were exhibits about early Christianity in Norway, Vikings, masks from around the world, Egypt, native cultures (including American Indian and Alaskan-Inuit), Ancient Asia, and Buddhism. It was a free museum, so it wasn't of the highest quality, but nonetheless it was interesting and something to do on a cloudy day. Then we had lunch at a nearby diner/deli. I made bbq chicken sandwiches and roasted potatoes for dinner.

Life imitating art at Frognerparken

After Trav's morning practice on Saturday, we went to Frognerparken. Travis and I wandered around looking at the sculptures. We walked downtown after stopping at a bakery for a cup of coffee. Later that evening, while Travis was making tacos for dinner, our landlord, Tom, stopped by to let us know he would be having people over. We thought, "Okay, whatever." Little did we know that Tom and his friends are karaoke enthusiasts who enjoyed singing and what sounded like dancing well into the night. After tossing and turning for a couple of hours, we popped some benadryl and decided that we would cancel our plans for church. Travis wanted to make sure he got enough sleep for tonight's game, and I had no objections to sleeping in. Yet again, our plans to go to church were foiled. That also helps to explain why I am updating my blog at 2:12 am!

Tonight's game went well (finally!) and Trav scored in the first period! He claims to have a record of 1-1 this season, although his team cannot say the same. Hopefully, the guys will win the next game (or two, or three, or four....). At the game, I sat with the girlfriend of the other player from the US. She found a nannying job and gave me the name for the website she used. I signed myself up and created a profile. Some of the required information included height and weight. I could not believe I had to announce (i.e. lie about) my weight and height on the internet! I mean, why the hell does it matter? They also asked if I was in excellent, good, fair, or poor health and how many times I had been seriously sick in the past year. So lets hope my stats and health history will appeal to a family with in Oslo who would like a nanny for 20 hours a week!

Travis has the day off tomorrow and a game on Thursday which requires a one hour flight from Oslo to Trondheim. We don't have anything planned for tomorrow, but I am hoping that the weather is nice! I will make more of an effort to write more often. Post a comment if you have any questions you would like me to answer!
