You can sing at my door anytime Miss Fi!

All good but not enough parties. So it would have to be as a Balinese Hindu. (Balinese Hinduism bears about the same relationship to Indian Hinduism as Catholicism does to Methodism, perhaps not even that close).
Random Thought: Sometimes when I'm not paying attention and I watch someone do something 'normal' I realise how weird it is, but then that feeling is gone and I forget about it.Like today I watched some people watching TV, and I thought, how weird is it that people just sit around and stare at a box. But now I feel stupid writing that because I've forgotten how it felt weird to me at the time.
I do realise that half the time I write my random thoughts they make no sense, sorry about that.
Santa came! And I am trying to wake up my boyfriend with caffe latte so I can start the pandoro!!!!!!!We actually weren't sure about the christmas carol music we heard...first I thought it waas in the movie a nightmare before christmas....must have been in the street behind us, but I liked the idea. It sounded nice.....
Merry christmas everyone!
online too...went for a walk till a park nearby, washed some bedlinen, cleaned in the house we share, read, read, read........
Merry Christmas everyone! Hi Jeane and Fiona! Got 2 books, a bookmark and a book light! What more could I ask for ??:)
And maybe we'll all have a nice Cmas together w/out any bickering
:)
Dare I hope?
I like Amazon, because they usually always have what I want. I don't have to go from store to store to store. I hate shopping . I'm a bah humbug shopper for sure!
Fiona, i don't care the day. I clean when it is dirty and here that is like possible every other two hours thanks to on person out of the five!Good luck Laura!
A thing I like about Amazon is that you can send presents to people who live ofr instance in a different country than you. I for instance whatched the whislist on amazon of a friend that lives in England and send her two books like that. They go out of ehr lsit and she receives them from amazon with a not from me. It is a real surpirse when you get a package from amazon and you didn't order anything!
This girl even knows that we probably have different standards of cleaness, but her level is really low!!!!!!!!!!Fiona,,,patience is a virtue
JUst got this amazon mail:As you've bought a Nintendo DS and books from Amazon.co.uk, we thought you'd be interested to know about 100 Classic Book Collection on Nintendo DS.
Turn your Nintendo DS into a portable library containing iconic novels and plays. Get 100 classic pieces of literature all in one cartridge from Sense and Sensibility to Treasure Island and King Lear to Romeo and Juliet.
Wonder how it is and what it exactly is! Anyone knows more about it?
Fiona, guess what I did on boxing day....washed the curtains! :-))))) and cleaned the chairs in the kitchen.... and reeeeeaaaaaaaaaaad. This evening pizza and Space chimps.
Fiona, not knowing who and how the room was used before, so also the curtains....now they smell good, have their original color again.....so good. I have been eating more white lindt chocolates today than normally.... and probably haven't getten the last one for today...
Fiona, you are a biscuit addict! Do you eat also so much of normal meals? :-)
haha...crazy...I am bored and don't like it when the days become so-called special and change normal kind of things in daily life..like transport, opening times shops, people acting different, doing different things.......
Very cold here! Yesterday we just played wit the Wii that my parents sent the kids and I sat on my butt & read all day. It was so nice to jsut relax and not have to go out in the extreme cold!
Oh, Borders has a huge sale. I am so tempted. Buy more books I need to read or try to finish reading the books I own?
Extremely tough decision.
Oh, my kids are so sweet. They spoiled me. They gave me four books Eat Pray Love by Elizateht Gilbert, Diary by Chuck Palahniuk, The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje & Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift. I have great kids (when they aren't fighting)!

See if I buy more books I'll need to read over 100 books next year. I figured that I need to read 8 books a month. I could get in 9 or 10 maybe more. Very dangerous!
I spent most of yesterday reading, played a little Wii with the kids. I've read most of this am. Wow! it's nice not to go into work. Still in my Pj's!
I should really go get dressed. We have friends over for dinner tonight.
It could be scary! Off I go!
Also in Dublin it has been warmer last days but it is geting colder again. Now it says one degree celcius.....my boyfriend is planing out loud how he wants his house in the future....... really funny to hear him busy..... now he jsut asked me how I want to paint my my room........ and he is getting all enthousiastic about how he would paint his room. Got it all figured out and complements himself on his good choice!
Fiona, I do hope so....it is what makes me going, just the thought. But I guess it won't be soon.....Italy was already a problem job related, so now it is even worse. But try not to think about that because otherwise I am going down completely and don't manage to go on in daily life. A first thought wjen I thought about the salary I can get here was....and if I can save enough every month I can always go to Italy when I take holiday.... When I was in England I didn't always join my boyfriend when he visited home because sometimes I would go some days to Belgium, but not doing that anymore. So whenever he goes home, I go with him!!!!!!! I am so looking forward to go to Italy....It has been a month and a week and it feels like a year.....
Random Thought: If there was just one colour (with all it's shades) that I could see I would choose green.
Yuk, olives... I don't like green food.
UHHHH.....I don't like black ones either... Black olives, black beans..... yukky...
I looove olive oil but I can't eat olives. I love tomatoes but I can't stand tomato soup or drink....why?????
hehe....thanks, not.... no really. How can it be that you can like a piece of fruit but not when you amke something of it, like soup. Or contrary, how can you like something which is like practically 100% the liquid of a certain food....
haha, so that is because you are Fiona! :-)so sleepy......feel like reading and eating my last chocolates...but think I am going to bed. It is coooold.
Fiona, I don't do that because yes then I can't fall asleep anymore. I am up already, wasn't even eight..and it is again sooooo cold. Planned to make a walk but it is difficult when you feel the cold already inside......Where is Petra??????
Random Thought: If people are against animal cruelty why do some of them own pets?
Bianca, because we are from the hateful specie called humans.
you're welcome :-)))))I am hungry.....but don't want to eat already, need to try to wait for later.....
I think I have a bit the feeling you had after reading Prodigal summer....my head feels so full that I can't continue immediately with the other books that I am reading...
patience my dear! ...is that from a book or some movie... anyway, ptience and come a lot here so your back will flip straight! Oh and now and then turn your head to the left and right and your chin towards your chest...but slowly and gentle...heading towards the coooold kitchen in a bit and maybe will see how it goes if I pick up the book about sinn Fein.Maybe it goes better with a non-fiction book.
Stop it! Don't let yourself think when your thoughts go like that! there is no way out.Rolling your head around and feeling it crack and so gives you great relief but is worse afterwards. I used to do that when I had huge headaches till one of the many fysiotherapist told me why it wasn't good. Never did it again.
reading about Sinn Fein worked. I am ready again to read and it si actually very interesting.
oh sorry, mixing up with other languages. I do know it si written like that but it sometimes come sout in another of the languages...just to make it confusing for myself..I would say munich olympics but mainly because I don't know the other one.
yes, it seems to be something british.... :-) love languages!
I wish I could speak more than one language, I know a very small amount of Spanish & French. I know a little more ASL because my friend is deaf.
I am trying to decide if I should stay online or go read. I'm almost done with Atonement. Love it so far plus my daughter wants me to start nanny diaries with her. Oh, If only I had more time to read.
Ugghhh! I have had the past four and a half days off of work and I am so not looking forward to 5 a.m. tomorrow! It is hard to go back after a lot of time off :(
Random Thought: When did girls start shaving their legs?I mean, when was it suddenly gross to have hairy legs, I know that in Europe there are still heaps of women who don't shave but here in Australia, if you're hairy you're a hippy.
So who started the trend? I know the Egyptians were very meticulous about things like that and had some form of tweezers. But in the Victorian era women didn't shave their legs did they?
Its considered sexy to have hairy legs in the Caribbean. I've no idea why. I don't have any hair on my legs naturally so I've never really paid much attention to this issue.
You have no hair on your legs...naturally? Impossible! I wish I had your genes.
Biamca, my mother enver had much of it and after her first pregnancy she didn't have any anymore....I think she gave it all to my sister and me!Emileee, why don't you learn a new language or relearn French or Spanish? I would love to learn a new language or reuse Spanish... know one day I will start a new one and it better be German!
I love languages, not so much learning them as being able to speak them.I was set on taking spanish classes but then on the first lesson i couldn't find the room where it was being held at uni so I just gave up.
I can speak almost fluent German and some Italian.
I know how to say exit in eight different languages, that's what happens when you take a lot of public transport when you go backpacking.
