Happy Birthday!!!

I'm doing my best to be a good updater, but my life isn't really all that interessting :S Yesturday was my birthday though, and I had lots of fun! Though I cant say that work was my best day! It was nice that my managers remebered my birthday, though I'm pretty sure that someone might have tipped them of :P
We celebrated the day with eating in the restaruant. Here with Elisabeth and Jannicke.
Carlos had to work, but I still got to take a picture with him...
Sharon was working to. She works with the princesses and is fun to work with.
Me and Jannicke found some "cool" hats and sunglasses in the Norwegian merchandise shop :P
A group picture with Linda, Jannike and Iselin after the fireworks. Me, Linda and Jannike also went to Jellyrolls. This was my and Lindas first time there, and we both loved the place! I definitley got to go back there!
Our friend, Nina, came to visit last week with her friend Trine. We met Chip and Dale by the resortboats and we had some fun with them. Here with me, Trine, Nina and Iselin.
This chipmunk was more playfull than the other. He took me and Trine by the hand and over to the bech so we could sit together. This picture is with me and Nina.
We went to the english restaurant for lunch one day. Here with Nina. This was my first visit to an english restaurant and I tried bangers and mash, which is vere typical british! It's very much the same as what we eat in norway though. But it was very good, even though I'm sick and tired of it.
You can't go to a restaurant without having an icecube contest. Wich Iselin and Nina were eagerly trying... I tried a little to, but quickly gave up...
We went to the restaurant and ate lunch and Rob, one of the kitchen staff came and said hello to us.

I tried taking some cool pictures from the fireworks, but that's not easy when you don't have one of those fancy camera's.... Here the fountain looks like an angel.


Here's the finale of the fireworks, it's a little blurry, but I think it's cool anyway.

Here's the EPCOT ball that's suposed to be earth, but looks more like a golfball... I think this picture turned out very good :D

This one was more blurry, but still cool...

About Time...

I thought it was about time I updated this blog. It's not exactley my strong side to update these things! Not much has happened since last time I wrote, so there's not much to tell. I got sick though, wich is pretty amazing. I never get sick, and I don't think I've ever been so sick as I was that day. I even had to call in sick for the first time here and I even managed to give my manager, Ruben, a shock by calling in.


I've got some new pictures here:








Here's Susan, she got some norwegian chocolate from Elisabeth, called Smil. Obviously, she loved it :)

















Last saturday I went on lunch with some friends at The Garden Grill and got to meet some more characters. Here with Chip (or Dale, I don't know)

















I also got to meet Pluto, who'd aparantly ran away from Mikkey.














Mikkey were a lot at our table.














My nametag for those in Norway that haven't seen it...

Christmas

This is the first time I've ever spent christmas outside of Norway or without any of my family members. I can't really say that I feel to much of the Christmas spirits seeing that it's very hot and there's no snow here! It was very cosy on the christmas parties I've been to though! The first one was one that one of the norwegians arranged for us at a sports pub called Oasis in Downtown Orlando. We had an area by ourselves and had our own bar. We could choose from beer, a rasberry or orange drink. He'd also arranged for us to get some Norwegian food, so we got porrige made of rice and milk, gingerbread cookies, norwegian candy and so on. Here's some of the people I met at the party:








Here's me and my friend Elisabeth. We'd both bought a new dress for the evening, and I'd even got my hair cut and styled








One of my managers, Kit even showed up






Elisabeth and Ray














Me and Carlos

Elisabeth and Iselin made a Christmasparty for us in their apartment on December 24th, wich is the big day for us in Norway:










The desert tray with seven different cokies








Iselin all dressed up














Elisabeth can't wait with checking her christmas stocking














Yuri borrowed a dress from Iselin and joined the party















Elizabeth was very happy to open the presents in her stocking














Jannike, unfortunatley, didn't have a stocking. But she was more than happy to test Elisabeth's presents.










In Epcot they made a little celebration for us in the VIP lounge with food and desserts... (all of these pictures are taken december 25th)





This cake was BIG













Those who worked didn't have much time to eat...











... but Ole didn't mind taking pictures with us anyway!











Here I am with Erling and Jannike











And here I'm with Sammy who's a culinary chef in the bakery.
