But first a picture of me and my Viking after my annual ball at the Blue Lagoon. Of course we didn’t think to get a picture together at the start of the night. But I am digging our its 3am and we just danced like crazy for the past three hours look.
Moving on…
So this post is not going to be one that you read to be inspired. It will not leave you with a sense of wanderlust for travel, nor will it leave you with a list of useful tips about traveling to Iceland. This post is what I like to call thought dump, which basically means I have a lot of thoughts running through my mind that are ready to spill out.
So what am I puzzled over lately, I mean that is really what your wondering if you continued to read this post after my warning of an introduction. Well lately I am wondering…
// What should be on my must do list for my upcoming trip to Amsterdam? I am traveling over Easter holiday and so far all I know for sure is that I must visit some tulip fields. I am traveling with two boys which means I am the sole planner of this trip. I really need to get on researching things to do!
// How long can I live in Iceland before I can no longer use the excuse, “oh I haven’t lived here too long, still working on my Icelandic” as my answer to why I don’t speak Icelandic? I am thinking 5 years, and then when I hit the 5 year mark and still get frazzled with Icelandic we will re-evaluate.
// Why didn’t I take more pictures at my annual ball last week? Fail. Oh well I was way too busy having fun, and it seemed to take H and I 5 attempts before getting a decent picture anyways.
Are we surprised by the fact that we are taking a picture of ourselves?
Or do I think I am just too above iPhone cameras?
Really I think I was more interested in getting back to my wine.
But finally we got a decent shot. I think everyone at our table thought we were having our own photoshot with the number of pictures H and I took ha. This picture though, we nailed this look on the first shot.
// What is my happy number of blog posts per week? I have been fiddling around with posting 5 times a week, which I feel is a bit too much for me. But then again 3 times a week just doesn’t feel quite right either. For now I am just posting as I feel like it and we will see how that works out.
// H’s birthday is a big one this year and even though it is in June I am already starting to stress out over what I will get him. Confession, I totally suck at giving gifts, but only when it comes to H. Everyone else I can knock it out of the park but for some reason my gift giving skills go out the window when it comes to H. I think it is because he is so darn crafty and creative that his gifts always are so awesome it just makes mine look bad. But not this time, I am going to nail this years birthday gift, I just haven’t quite figured out how.
// How in the world do you put one of those Most Pinned buttons on the side of your blog? You know what I am talking about, where you can use an image from a popular post and people can see the number of times it has been pinned as well as pin it themselves? I tried for far to long to add this to my sidebar, and if you didn’t notice it is still not there, so I failed.
// Why is it so difficult for me to write a pitch email to send to companies. I have several ideas for collaborations with different companies in Iceland, I know what I want to say, but when I go to write the email I get so uncomfortable and nervous I totally freeze up and end up writing nothing. I need to just take the plunge and not be so worried about rejection. Easier said than done right.
// When can I get a puppy??? I am absolutely dying over all the pictures my parents keep sending me of their sweet puppy Opal.
I mean, this is just too much cuteness for me to handle!
TGIF! Have a great weekend everyone. I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend gearing up for our trip to Amsterdam! Check back in over the weekend for a look at the books I have been reading lately.
