Congrats on becoming an aunt. Congrats on your trip.
Thank you...this is my ninth niece/nephew so I have plenty of practice. :love:

My trip isn't until April, but between now and then I have a holiday to Greece, two long weekends away in London and Glasgow, a theatre trip, a concert, and a best friends wedding to attend...I'm pretty sure April will arrive quickly. :laugh:

Would it be best if I start with this? :)

I am happy today because it's Friday and I don't have to go to work in two days. I can rest and relax this weekend.

Nice. Where are you working now Jo? I remember peeking in a while back and seeing you left your job, did you go back or find something new? Anyhoo, hope all is good. :love:

I'm happy because we're going to York tomorrow. We plan to visit the Christmas Market and drink some gluhwein, buy some gifts/tat, have a nice lunch, then finish off the day in the pub...how very British! :wink2:

I am happy today because we got (and are continuing to get) our first appreciable snow. We had a dusting on Thanksgiving, and that was cool, but it's piling up now and -- for the time being -- I like that.

It will become annoying very soon, but for the moment it's very comforting (mostly because I'm not going out in it). I like the first snow. Maybe some of you do, too. Oh ... sure ... I know: We always say the same thing. How come people who live in places where half the year is winter suddenly forget how to drive the first time it snows each year?

Those people will annoy me later, but they're not annoying me right now. Right now the snow is clean and new, and what on earth -- I ask you -- is better than clean and new? New snow speaks to me of quiet, for some reason (and I do so love the quiet). I don't know why that should be. What it really brings is chaos, mostly, but again, that is for later.

Right now I'm happy with the snow. Later, there will be snowmen (and snow-women ... and snow kids).

I'm happy about that, too.

How are you?

:)
Three words:

Four wheel drive

When we had our first snow I was so glad to have this option. Everyone was driving crazy that day!

Wow! You DO have a great life - enjoy (especially Glasgow) - maybe you'll see some men in kilts on a windy day! (kidding of course).

I would love to go back there again.

I am happy today because, well I just am. Happy I get giggle fits. Happy about tape for some strange reason. Happy that this place is shaping up.
Happy that my sister emailed me again today. Crossed a thinny there.

Happy that I have no idea where the laundry room is here, and I don't have a key if I found it. Because hey. I don't have any normal clothes to wear and I will look funny at work tomorrow. Grab a hat.
