I went outside this morning to discover a fresh layer of snow. Nothing like at home, only a few inches, but enough to cover all of the icy paths. It was kind of refreshing. I was starting to miss snow at home. It snowed "pretty snow" pretty much all day today-big flakes coming down ever so slowly.
The most exciting news today-I bought two Norwegian sweaters!! Thank you to the Sticek family for my Christmas presents :) Sarah, Lara and I went to a second hand store called "UFF." It was a pretty big store and had quite a bit of clothes, everything from snow pants to nightgowns to traditional skirts. (And a nice selection of heavy woolen sweaters) Before I came to Norway I had planned on purchasing an authentic sweater like these. They are pretty pricey new, but good quality so I was glad that we found some used. Lara also found two that she fancied and Sarah one. Overall we were very pleased with our purchases. The sweater that I am wearing in the first picture is more of a dark teal color and the second is more of a gray.
Let's see..what else did I do today.. Got a whole lot of groceries, then realized I was out of milk and had to go back.. I just made some scalloped potatoes to eat for dinner too. We'll see how they turned out later.
Yesterday we had a movie night with Lara, Sarah and Joschka. At Lara's request we watched The Apartment (1960). I don't watch too many old movies, but I thought it was pretty entertaining. It was a little long but had some funny parts. Pretty scandalous for an old movie, in my mind. But it was the start of the 60's I guess.
Sunday we are planning to have a family dinner and a movie night. Lasagna :) (by family I am referring to Lara, Sarah, Joschka and I). Sarah is taking a Norwegian film class so we are going to watch one of the films for her class. I'm excited!
