The Happy Post

Pretty! I like it.

 

Thanks! I absolutely love it!

 

My best friend is coming down from Ottawa for the weekend, we're going to see Children of Bodom in Toronto. The supporting act, Black Dahlia Murder, is one of his favourite bands so it should be a good time.

 

I had a lovely lunch with my sister. I am getting spoiled. I will be sad when she has the baby and is is back at work full-time again.

 

Happiness from Wigan

Just thumped Chelsea 3-1.

Very very happy.

 

I am happy because I am now 32 weeks and still pregnant!!! Though I am so damn nervous about this week... I had my son at 32+5 and my daughter at 32+6, they gave me a 10% chance of ever going further along in any pregnancy. So I'm seriously paranoid that I'm going to have the baby this week. But if I can manage to stay pregnant for another 4 weeks, I can have my baby at the hospital here where I live. Fingers are crossed!

 

Please don't worry, Tor. It'll all be okay.

 

Thanks Rei.

 

Hopefully everything works out okay.

 

That's great Tor.

 

I'm happy because my oldest daughter has just been singled out by both her AP math, and AP language arts teachers as being the brightest and most natural leader they have ever taught. And encouraged me to send her on a trip with a program called "people to people" where she can travel abroad over a summer and meet people from other countries. Makes me feel I am doing something right ya know?

 

Sounds great, G!


I'm happy because I ate brownies and today is Pizza Day!!

 

You can make it, Tor!!!

That's amazing! Congratulations to your daughter for earning such compliments. Is she going to go on the trip? Sounds like an incredible opportunity!

I had pizza last night, and I'm making brownies right now.

 

I am happy because even though it feels very dreary and wintery I can still find hope.

Case in point: Yesterday I got some Fondy stuff--a maroon hoodie that says Fondy Cardinals and the famed maroon plaid pajama bottoms with "Fondy" written across the butt. If I find out how to post pics from my camera to here I can show you all sometime.

And even though it feels wintery, I can still be excited because TV season is upon us!!

 

Am I the only person around who loves winter?

It may have something to do with the fact that "winter" for me is summer for everyone else...

 

Probably, because you live in happy sunny Arizona. Whereas I live in Wisconsin, home of horrible snowy cold wet winters.

 

Hell no.

 

Come stay with me over the winter!

Edit: Yay, Xeno loves winter too!

 

I would love to stay with you over the winter....matter of fact, my great-grandparents migrate down there every winter to stay in their vacation home......I could sneak along.


I wish.

 

I don't really mind winter... but it seems like there has been no summer at all...
I like Christmas and Christmas presents, and snow, and a warm fire.

 

Absolutely. Christmas is the only time when I can be in my wintery house surrounded by snow and be incredibly happy and accepting and loving of winter. Christmas brings out the best in winter, definitely. So does the New Year...after that it's depressing for a little bit until March (mine and my siblings' birthday month) and then it starts to warm up and you can taste the end of school, and then summer again.

 

I like winter. Cold weather outside, and heating cranked indoors. There's something about that which just makes me smile. But winter isn't really cold enough down here. There's no real crispness in the air until almost Christmas.

 

I agree with Banzai, winter is the awesome. It's my favorite season.

 

I would be happy with winter if it was the picturesque kind--heat cranked up inside, watching the snow fall, like in the movies. But here at my house it means endless candles (which I associate with winter and thus hate), darkness and cold with some football game always on, giving me a headache.

 

I'm back home from the Children of Bodom show. It was amazing, best concert I've ever seen- from the opening act screaming 'This song is about Satan!!' through to the end with everyone singing so loud I could barely hear Alex Laiho, it was perfect. I can barely talk today.

Also, my best friend and I got matching The Black Dahlia Murder shirts that glow in the dark. We were getting wicked stares all day because of them.
