Short days

It´s been planned for days. I made the doug last night. It´s been in the fridge over night- and today it´s perfect to stick out gingerbread cookies.
Angels, a tree, a man & wife, teddy, pigs, snowman, a maple leaf here and there and some hugh lobsters.There also is a raindeer( which Viktor meant was a goat!!! , well there was a surten similarity) LOL
Other than that I had a very short day at work today- out of 4 kids- none was in school- so therefore I went home by 10.40. jubiiii. - The short day gave the time to connect with the internet again ( been without for 36 hr.... horrible- do not recomend it!!) and hook up with phone company again. I switched to a much cheeper company, both my cell, home phone ( I kept the same numbers)- and internet. wires here and there- yellow, grey, blue, white - some for phone , some for browser, some for ............... how do men find that fascinating??? well- spend some time on my cell with customer service on Onfone and had a chat with Morten that tried to help me.
He explained very slowly how to get one thing at the time to work( very polite and friendly), but when my patience was gone with my pc, he asked me how I thought he had it? he could not see anything of what I was doing and still helping me!! Well probably the same way when I help others with their knitting on the phone-asking and telling :-) - he laughed and said that it was a good explaination.
Two boxes to right is connected - the mess on the left corner is what I pulled out from behind the computer and down from the wall.Geeeh! I have to send it back too. Maybe I have that original box somewhere ( I tend to save stuff like that). What I learned from it: I can do stuff and I did worry way too much for no reason. And it was awful not to be able to connect with the world- wired how we get used to this easy way of connecting with other people and I almost panicked when I realised that it all was shut down at the same time. Lucky for me my cell was a piece of cake to switch.
Have a good day out there- The Climate conference in Copenhagen is going on and today it´s been sad, dark , rainy weather.
In only 11 days the sun will turn again and brighter times will come. I had lights at my bike this morning- it was all dark( and I am so tired in the mornings- can hardly get up).

Deilige kaker du baker. Datakaos, jeg får en del hjelp av sønner til å ordne opp en gang i blandt.
Det var så gøy å få kortet og bladet igår, jeg storkoste meg. Idag har jeg sendt deg en liten oppmerksomhet. :-)

Hei søte søs! I know the feeling!!
Har vært uten nett i et halvt døgn, og begynte nesten hyperventilere! men er på igjen nå etter "svenske" metoden!! ( dvs slå av alt, bainnes og svær litt, og en bønn til høyere makter) Vips så ville nettet funke igjen! LOL
Det er en grunn til at vi ikke jobber innen IT bransjen.... Ha en super dag,- dine pepperkake bilder inspirerte meg til å bake.
varm klem søs

I've got cookies on my list for this weekend; gingerbread sounds perfect.

Computers can be frustrating, can't they?
