Story of a blogname

The little girl looked up at the top of the two floor high house. She was astonished to see how impressive it looked.

It was her house - homy and comfy on the inside - yet so big and massive on the outside!

So when she was asked what she wanted to be when she grew up the little girl's answer came without hesitation and with no further ado:

-A high house!

People smiled at this, and wondered, and the mom was slightly worried...

As time passed the little girl's facination was drawn to other things.

Now she had moved her interest to the big box in the living room with

 the fun buttons, deep base and foreign voices

- the radio.

And it impressed her.

So one day the kitchen door flung open and the little girl came in. The mom looked up from what she was doing.

- Now I don't want to be a high house when I grow up any longer! the little girl announced.

-Oh, said the mom - intrigued; maybe there was hope for her little girl after all.

-What do you want to be then? she asked with raising expectations.

The prompt anwer from the little girl brought her right back again though:

- Now I want to be a radio!



I have linked up with the beautiful blog Mrs. Hardy who has got a challenge to tell the story of the blogname.

A language is announced

My native language is Norwegian, but I'm so facinated by the English language, it is so rich and nuanced. I love to read in English.
But I suck at speaking the language and I'm completely out of practice. Giving directions or writing this text is oh, so troublesome! 

So naturally I chose English as my blog language - writing a blog in English will give me lots of practice. It may be painful to read my texts now but hopefully it will only get better.

First thing's first

This is my plan: 

Finish what has already been started. 

Use what I already have.

Remove what is no longer needed. 

A tiny start

So I'm doing this. 

I'm starting a blog. 

To help me sort out my house and garden.

My house is too full - it needs emptying.

My garden is too empty - it needs to fill up.

Both mean a lot of work.

Hopefully blogging about it will make me more determined to finish this and the blog will also be a record of this process.

This will probably not be of interest to anyone but myself so I thought it necessary to put up a warning in the header.

Anyways - I'm so excited and can't wait to roll up my sleeves and get started.
