3BT: Random Days

1. Reading a website that reminded me to send a thank you or love card to my hubby.

2. Sending that e-card to my hubby filled with words of gratitude and appreciation.

4. Watching hubby's naked body in bed at night. Yum yum...

5. Finding a wonderful forum online for infertile people that helped me feel that I wasn't insane with all the turmoil inside me.

6. Reading this beautiful reminder when self-pity kicked in:

We have no right to ask, when sorrow comes, "Why did this happen to me?" unless we ask the same question for every joy that comes our way.
~ Philip S. Bernstein

And all of a sudden the world became A THOUSAND TIMES brighter! :-D :-D :-D

7. Crying out all my pent-up fears, doubts, anxiety, stress to God and feeling good afterward, 'coz I know He understands every single thought and emotion even though I don't need to use words.

8. Excitement 'coz I'm going to call my Mom via Skype today.

9. Hearing this beautiful quote while watching "The Curious Tale of Benjamin Button":

"You can be as mad as a mad dog at the way things went
You could swear, curse the fates
But when it comes to the end
You have to let go..."

Children's Quotes on Love and Marriage

Found it here and I'll just copy a few. You can read the rest by visiting the link hi hi hi hi...SO FUNNY!!!

WHAT IS THE PROPER AGE TO GET MARRIED?

"Eighty-four! Because at that age, you don't have to work anymore, and you can spend all your time loving each other in your bedroom."
-- Judy, age 8

"Once I'm done with kindergarten, I'm going to find me a wife!"
-- Tom, age 5

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?

"On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date." -- Mike, age 10

WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?

"You should never kiss a girl unless you have enough bucks to buy her a big ring and her own VCR, 'cause she'll want to have videos of the wedding." -- Jim, age 10

"Never kiss in front of other people. It's a big embarrassing thing if anybody sees you. But if nobody sees you, I might be willing to try it with a handsome boy, but just for a few hours." -- Kelly, age 9

"The rule goes like this: if you kiss someone, then you should marry her and have kids with her. It's the right thing to do." -- Howard, age 8

7. Stealing another kiss from hubby today at the stairs down his office/my course place HO HO HO HO HO HO...

8. Watching two people sitting down outside their lawn with their sunglasses on, sunbathing when it was 15'C outside. Last year I said to Arttu that people who sunbathed at 15'C were CRAZY but this year I understand completely that it IS very possible to do HA HA HA HA HA HA...

9. Today my order arrived at the PO and I realized that they were just what I expected they would be and I think they'd fit my parents very well.

I asked my Mom the other month what else they wanted from Finland (besides chocolate) and Mom said, "A sweater for me and a jacket for Dad, BUT DO NOT buy anything too expensive and it's VERY OKAY even if you don't buy them for us. We won't be disappointed even if you don't bring anything else." Ahhhh...bless her soul!!! ;-D

10. Feeling LUCKY to have a hubby like Arttu and telling him how LUCKY I feel. *BIG GRIN* And still feeling SO MUCH PASSION towards him.

Blogging Star Award + 3BT Weekend Wrap

Max has bestowed me this award. THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH for this award, Girl!!!


I'd love to share this award with these following bloggers:

Agnes and Matt for having been cracking me up with their sense of humour and for having shown their opinions blatantly (BRAVO for that) and for having been informative with a twist. *wink*

Michelle for being such a WONDERFUL writer. She has a special way with words. She makes me almost able to see, smell, or taste anything she wants to tell the readers and I keep coming back for more to see, smell, or taste. It's addictive!!! I admire her for that ability. She's also been there in the toughest period of my life, the first 2-3 months in Finland, and I'm FOREVER grateful for that! :-D

Amber for having written such intelligent, mind-tickling, informative, and creative posts. I admire her for being her. :-D

Victorya for having been courageous enough to face her demons and ghosts without being cynical or bitter. I admire her for that, for holding on to the good and the present and future, not to the past. I also LOVE the way she writes her stories. I LOVE how she shares her most intimate feelings honestly even though she may have a hard time pouring the words out in her posts. You ROCK, Girl!!! ;-D

****************************************

Now on to my 3BT Weekend Wrap:

1. Tickling my hubby's face with my hair when he was just waking up from nap. *tee-hee*

2. Watching my hubby exert extra determination not to laugh or giggle or move any part of his face while being tickled by me, yet ending up shedding tears as he couldn't handle it any longer. LOL!!!!!

3. Having lots of trees around this apt. building means I can always figure out how hard the wind blows. This is vital for me as the wind chill factor affects the temperature and thus it affects which kind of clothes I have to wear before I go out.

4. Mother-in-law told us to buy the kind of bread we wanted to have along with the meal she had prepared. In the end she gave us the bread!!! I chose the bread and I ended up bringing it home. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! Thank GOD for such a KIND mother-in-law!!!

5. Pancakes! I made my own pancakes on Friday - the first time I made them myself using my hubby's fave recipe. I only busted one piece. The rest came out nicely enough. YAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY for me!!! ;-D

6. Hubby kissing me and saying thank you right after he had my pancakes. Boy, that felt GOOD!!! ;-D

7. Listening to the radio on our road trip (it took 25 minutes by car to my in-laws) plus being surrounded by nature. MMMMMMMMMMM...
