So, New Year’s Eve is over. We spent a quiet night at home and had a special dinner consisting of crab legs, steak, mashed potatoes and cheese cake. We dozed off long before midnight, and woke up around half-past. I can’t really remember the last time I stayed up till midnight.. maybe the [...]

Happy Christmas
Who’s ready for Christmas (or “the holidays”)? We are! I’ve done most of my shopping online this year, which was nice, especially at the end, where shops started offering super-expedited shipping for free if you spend a certain dollar amount.
UPS continues to taunt me, though. Throughout the Christmas season, they’ve promised to deliver by a [...]
Happy Birthday to You!
Happy Birthday to my dear, sweet friend! I hope you’ll have a lovely day, and get loads more Twitter followers. (She’s number 2 in her area, you know)
Big hugs and loads of good wishes!
Interview (I have just stolen one)
1. Which movie/television show best describes your life and why?
“The Lake House”, only distance and not time.
2. A former friend that badly hurt you in past, now calls you up and asks for your help with a serious matter, one of life or death. Do you help them?

What I Did During My Christmas Vacation
It was an AMAZING holiday. Ian arrived in Omaha on Christmas Eve (this was the short trip for him, in the end!). The arrivals board said the plane was on time, yet no plane. After 1/2 hour, I was getting a little worried curious about where the plane was. I was less concerned when I googled [...]

I watched him [...]
Flying In
Every now and then, my mind wanders back to that moment when I was sitting on the plane, looking out the window, realising that I’m about to land in England to meet my boyfriend at the airport.
The thoughts flying through my head:
Wow, I’m finally here. 7 hours wasn’t that long.
Look, the sun is coming up [...]
It Is Halloween
Not a big deal in the UK, I’ve heard, but big enough here. TLK is going to be dressed up as a cat, which is a good alternative to her first pick.
My office (the brand new one) is having a pet parade tomorrow. I am not taking my dogs, but I’ll [...]
Good News!
Ian is coming to America … just in time for Christmas! I’m excited to have him here, in the place that I’ve been telling him about for so long. We’re busily plotting our Christmas dinner and where he wants to go and things we want to see.
This will be the first [...]
