Mother’s Got A Dot Com

I have a partner in blogging, that shall not be named here, and that sometimes gives me keywords to blog about. Most of the time, that’s fine. I usually have no problem integrating these words into my post - it can even be quite inspiring.

This time, I’m stumped. I have no idea how to include golf bags in a post. What are they, by the way? Are they for your clubs or for the rest of your gear? Maybe they’re just a fashion item… You tell me…

Stating the obvious, you say?

Perhaps, but May 17. is our National Day, and the whole country is hoping for good weather, plenty of ice cream and happy children in parades…

Also, #1 Brat is in the midst of celebrating her graduation, and May 17. marks the end of that as well, with a parade that we’ll go and see.

If I manage to remember my camera tomorrow, there’ll be pictures…

Oh - what are we celebrating? Our independence. The day marks our independence from Denmark and the birth of our very own constitution, both of which happened in 1814. The independence didn’t really last, as Sweden took over, and we were coupled with them until June 7. 1905. Still, May 17. remains the day when Norways constitution was proclaimed, and is a symbolic day of celebration. Lodged in the middle of V Day (May 8.) and June 7., it’s a good day to celebrate both the constitution, the final independence in 1905 and the liberation in 1945…

Last day - and here’s the last doodle from me…

If you look carefully, all the themes of Doodle Week are represented: There’s Doodle Me, still in dire need of sunblock, having a Doodle Daydream,the Doodle Monster up there on the left, a sketchy Doodle Flower, a great big Doodle Animal Mouse, and the Doodle Abstract - this time without the eggness.
Result: Doodle Mad…

Thanks Claire, it’s been lots’o'fun!

Abstract doodle.

And Doodle Week - Day 5

Daydreams and cats? Well, had I had Paint at hand in my doodling school days, it might have looked like this - the cat might have been there too, but this one’s for Mo!

(PS:It looks like it came from an egg, but no… cats are mammals, silly!)

NEWSFLASH - THE EGG HAS HATCHED!

… I wish I were a techie. OK - I know my way around a hammer, a saw and right angles, I’m a wiz at assembling furniture from IKEA (how difficult can it be, they’re Swedish…) , but say things like HDMI wall plate, and my eyes glaze over.
I use my computer most days, and I manage to get the right plugs into the right holes most of the time, but what they’re called? No clue. Whenever I find a techie blog that says:”for beginners”, I try, but start seeing double after reading two lines.
Luckily, they’re online. If I’m in trouble, I’ll know where to go…

Spring inspired Doodle - these aren’t in bloom yet here, but I’m looking forward to that heavenly smell!

PS. Doodle egg not yet hatched. Patience, fans, patience…

More Doodles at Claire’s, Doodle Maestro!

Since I missed Day 1, here’s Doodle Me with Doodle Animal. As you can see, I need a boob job. And sun block.

Check out Claire’s for more doodles…

The lovely Claire is hosting Doodle Week, and today’s theme is Doodle Monster.
I missed Day 1 (must be the time difference, how can a week begin on a Thursday????), which was Doodle Me - must see if I can fit that in a bit later in the week. (Wonder if a Claire-week lasts 7 or 10 days?). Tomorrow, when the theme is Doodle Animal, may be my chance…

Here’s my monster. I think it’s a cross between a Troll and the Midgard Monster, but I can’t tell. It’s dark.

(Blush - a Claire-week is 7 days. It says so on the header…)

The American legal system amazes me - do you know there’s a story going over here about a guy who won a claim against the manufacturer of his new mobile home truck thingy because the manual didn’t have a warning against switching the thing on autopilot and going in the back for a coffee… On the motorway… I do hope it’s not a true story…

Anyway - do you have a legitimate claim that you’re hesitating to take to court because of the expense? You might want to check out if your case is eligible for a lawsuit financing cash advance. They share the risk with you, and you pay nothing until the case settles, and only if it goes in your favor.

I agree. It sounds too good to be true, and they’re likely to take on only the cases they think their clients can win. If you’re accepted though, you’re in a win-win situation: You’re able to go to court, and you’re not out of pocket if you lose. The result could well be that more people of modest means get to try their case in court, which can only be a good thing.
