The boss is out until Monday, the sun is shining, the weather is perfect, and I’m stuck inside, at a desk, with a keyboard attached to my fingers. ‘Spose I should be working instead of blogging, but I just can’t bring myself to do it. Rather reminds me why I started skipping school all those years ago…

I wish we’d get fall weather here. It’s still warm enough to go swimming here in Tampa Bay. Or at least I hope it is, cause I’m taking clients swimming this afternoon in an outdoor pool. (They’re still open here.) Oh how I long for fall weather. Sweater weather.

So. Who said this, and in what movie?

I mean, food’s cool and all. It tastes good and you need it to live, but the mere act of eating involves thoughts of digestion, flatulation, defecation, even, shall we say, complexion defection.

Oh. And I’m Luka and you can ffaf on my blog too!

I just can not wait to put my little ones in their get up this year. Children are so precious and I can tell you that the day I first held my son was the day my life was changed forever. There is so much love and it’s unconditional. Congrats!

so here in milwaukee, winter seems to be over anxious, and skipped in line ahead of fall. it went from “hey.. lets have all the windows open and all the fans on to cool down the house” to “AAAARG hand me another blanket… and another.. and another!” and while wisconsin usually gets cold, it does get colder in places further north. yes.. that much is true. but wisconsinites tend to be pretty hard-core when it comes to being able to survive in winter weather. but the other day i was out to eat with a friend and i saw two, yes TWO, people in winter coats! i turned to my friend and was like “uhh.. what month is it?” “september” “ok. just checkin’.” and i guess the funniest part of that was that one of the girls in the winter coats, was wearing flip-flops! *shakes head* i just don’t understand people.

hope everyone has a fantastic fall/winter (or spring, if you are in the southern hemisphere). tray signing off. (btw. go free-for-all-it on everymoment.org!)

Well October is tomorrow… well, in two days for me, tomorrow for you. I like fall, when it is actually fall and not summer and not winter.

The leaves on the trees change and the weather is more bearable. There are many parties in the fall it seems. Everyone wants to get together for a bonfire or a hayride. Those are always fun but hard to do when you’ve got a little kid. But time will pass too soon…

And my days goes by so quickly and it’s no broadband at my parents, so: less www. Miss it sometimes, but are enjoying getting ready for my journey and being with family too

Today we’ve had visits of my cousins wives and their children, my grandmother came as well. Soo nice too meat them. Think I haven’t seen them for over 1,5 years. Good to catch up and talk some.

Tomorrow I’ll try to get the house I’m staying in in order (when December comes me and the boy are going to stay there) and in the evening I’ll pack my suitcases for Ethiopia! I’m also going to paint more on the bed my son shall lay in when here. My mom painted it white and brown for my brother, now I paint it blue and something else (will try to make my own mix, thinking some kind of purple – but it might get green ). I do love blue, everything I touch becomes that lately…

Soon I’m going to bed, just want to check my email and maybe read some of post on my favorite list. Sorry for not keeping up with you this week (….and the next two..)

By the way, did you know it’s the angels day??? See my post from last year – here.

I’m at my parents now, jumping out here on my old laptop (that doesn’t function all that well…) I got here around 7:30 last night, but are still tired and my head hurts. The plan was to take the train. I love to journey with train.

Instead I had to take bus. Because the railroad was closed due to some big repare. I don’t like travelling with bus! But there was not much else to do. Grr.

Now it’s time for some food. Sorry for no update on the today, but I can’t put my photos here (Hope I can fix it before the end of this week!)

It’s 6:11 am. And I’m up and walking. Have a whole bunch of stuff to do, so I can’t sit here talking… just wanted to say: I’m up

And I’m still rolling around trying to figure out if I’ve remembered it all Have some huge butterflies in my stomach by now! But think I will find a bed soon and get a few hours of sleep. I’m leaving early.

Night, night!

This is the very very last day I’m alone in this house. Early tomorrow I’ll leave for a visit to my parents and soon I’ll travel to Ethiopia to bring home my son. It’s a real special day to me, so much to remember and so much to feel. Later I’m going to pack my suitcase and see if I can remember to bring all the things I really need for the next three weeks or so. Also what Matias Tinsae needs too, I’ll have to bring it all with me now.

Next time I enter my house, my son is with me. I so want him to feel like it’s a good house to get into and hope he will be happy about the things I’ve bought for him. From now on this is his home as well as mine.

Soon some friends of mine will come by and help me move some heavy furniture around. And then we will have some coffee and ice, and talk some. But the evening is all mine. I want to go from room to room, worry about if I have packed all I need and so on, in peace and quiet. My mind is full of things to remember. Hopefully by nightfall much of it is in my suitcase ready to go!!

To add to a special day; the sun is shining from blue sky and it’s hot and lovely outside. A good sunny day, just like I wanted.

Hehe; Just Sue made me do it

..go figure

My anneberit.net – domain is finally transferred and open for business…

It means my main email is up and going again

If you sent me something later than September 1th I have not received it, sorry, but now you can, at last, resend it

When I’m back from Ethiopia I’m going to move my photoblog over to this domain. But until now you find it here!

Outside it’s all weather. Rain and wind. What happen to the sun??

Some hands that have done some honest work
Yesterday we finally started painting the room we use for children- and youths activities. It will be a real good place to be, and even after just some hours work it’s starting to lose the classroom character it had.
I’m so looking forward to see how it looks in a short month when I’m back from Ethiopia. Hope I can start Sunday School in there then (well, Sunday School is on a Tuesday, but anyhow.. ), and that the youths can start setting up their cafe meting point..

Since Saturday my Spam Karma has sent 210 comments to hell; someone’s been busy commenting!!

I’m still here. Got home from IKEA in one piece; the car fully loaded all “Ikea’d out” – but it was fun, though!! Thanks for joining me Benedicte; I couldn’t have done it without you

I got a new bed and some other furniture for my sons bedroom, I also got some shelves for him to keep his toys and books in for downstairs. And some stuffed animals, small table and chairs and different stuff for the house. Now I’m almost ready to bring him home (yes, have started to count the days, October 3rd is the day we shall meet!)

I put together the bed late Monday, the rest of the stuff is still just standing there and here. Yesterday went to other stuff (tell you later) – today is my home-day. Hopefully I get a few things in order (with luck – many things!) because this is the only whole day I can spend at home before I leave.

The washing machine is going with the first load, so is the dishwasher. I think I’ll start with the kitchen and then work my way around the house… phu…
