{new blog, uusi blogi}

i'm not sure if everyone realized from my last posting that there won't be any new postings on this blog. new year, new blog. it just seems that i've lost most of my blog visitors. maybe you all just got sick of me. hope not. :) 

from now on you'll find me here:
a bit of this & a bit of that 2011

{life changing decisions}

whatwedo.dk

there have been five major decisions in my life which have affected me the most and have made all the difference in my life.

• i stopped drinking alcohol when i was 17.
• i joined the lds church exactly 25 years ago today.
• i served a mission in ireland.
• i married my husband.
• we decided to adopt.

i haven't regretted any of those decisions. each has brought me so much joy and happiness.

meillä on ihan mielettömästi lunta. huolestuttaa että auto juuttuu lumeen. pitäisi käydä hampaat putsauttamassa sekä kiropraktikolla. wish me luck.

{THE game}

those who know me, know that i'm not into computer games at all.

until now, that is.

this game - crayon physics deluxe - has got me hooked.

the point is to draw all sorts of things onto the screen so that you can get the ball to hit the star. real physics are in play.

do a google search for "crayon physics deluxe free download" if you're interested.

warning: you will most likely get addicted. :)
