4. We've booked a trip for our spring holiday next year. WOOOOHHHHHHHHOOOOOO!!! :-D THANKFUL to have a chance to do a trip again! 5. Slathering lotion all over hubby's legs in winter and hearing no protest.
6. After serving an English-speaking customer, I turned to the next one and accidentally mentioned the sum in English, which prompted us both to laugh at the same time HA HA HA HA...Some days it takes my brain a longer time to switch back to Finnish LOL!!! 7. Hearing, "Don't run! You don't have to rush! I'm not in a hurry" when I try to come back to the till as quickly as possible.
8. Finding Jeruk Bali (Balinese Orange) aka Hunajapomelo which took me straight back to my childhood 'coz I used to eat a lot of it when I was a child - and we used to turn the thick skin into a toy. Ah...lovely memories!!! :-D 8. Looking at cute/funny cat pictures (well, mainly cat pics but there are some other animals, too). Makes me go ooh-aah-ing. Mmmmmmmm...
1. Being able to buy 2 kgs of oranges. I remember clearly last year before R2 got a steady job, we couldn't even buy fruit. Now we have enough money to eat yogurt and fruit every day. I'm savoring every little biteeeee mmmmmmm... ---> Oh yeah, we also have enough money to buy chips more often HI HI HI HI...
2. Telling R2, "I'm really GLAD I married you." :-))))
3. Having this song stuck in our heads and we keep on "influencing" each other. Either I or R2 would start singing it and the other one would continue and we'd both curse the song even though we loved it, too HUA HA HA HA HA...This is one of the JOYS of living together. How could we have done it while we were oceans apart? I LOVE living with R2!!!!!!!!
4. The other week I had some pain on my lower right stomach and R2 was afraid it was appendicitis. After taking some blood and urine tests, turned out it was NOT appendicitis. PHEW!!! What a relief! So I guess I just sprained some muscles while exercising he he he...
5. Kisses, kisses, kisses, kisses, kisses, kisses...hue he he he he...Being able to kiss and hold and do anything with R2 HUE HE HE HE HE...
1. Having an even-tempered hubby. He's never been angry as far as I've known him and as long as I've lived with him. He can get annoyed or frustrated, esp. when dealing with computers, but I'm glad he has such a gentle spirit!!!! He doesn't even get angry when I do something stupid. ;-D I don't think I've ever cherished this about him yet, so I'm gonna do it today!!!
2. Hubby giving me more kisses than usual before he prepared himself to go to work. It felt as though he didn't want to leave me HE HE HE HE HE HE HE...
3. Finding oranges on sale again, only €1.09 per kilogram! HUE HE HE HE HE HE HE HE...
4. Finding liquid soap on a bargain: 3 bottles for the price of 2. YEEEEESSS!!!!! The offer was only valid for a limited time frame, so even though we didn't need soap yet, I snatched them right away. I LOVE saving money!!!
5. Hubby nibbling my arm when I shoved it gently near his face HI HI HI HI...I LOVE it when he does it!!! ;-D

P.S. I'm gonna be busy baking potato cutlets now for the birthday party, but if I have time later on before the party starts, I'm going to blog-hop. If not, then I'll do it on Sunday since tomorrow morning we'll definitely go to my in-laws again.
1. One of my closest friends who didn't have an internet at home came back to her old house just to chat with me and I was at home when she sent me SMS to ask me to chat. So we had quite a long chat. HUA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...It felt SO GOOD to reconnect, baby!!! ;-D
2. Teasing that friend who tried to tease me. Here's the conversation:
Her : Hey, I LOVE looking at your pics in Friendster. You look SO tiny when you're beside R2. Me : Yeah, but a sexy tiny girl. *grin* Her : Ah, but you still look like an ELEMENTARY SCHOOL GIRL! Me : Yeah, an elementary school girl with a body like a guitar HUA HA HA HA HA HA... Her : Oh no...not again!!!!
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL!!!! Then I got to tell this conversation to R2 and he laughed, too!!!
3. R2 meeting me at the supermarket since I was afraid of walking home with two big supermarket bags since it was slippery outside. And he was right on time HUE HE HE HE HE HE HE...
4. Having a hubby who's also a VERY generous and VERY patient lover. He's THE BEST!!! And we always cuddle and kiss and praise each other afterwards HUE HE HE HE HE HE HE HE HE HE...Ehem...am I being too blunt here? But this is my blog, right? I have the right to remain open (not silent) HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...
5. Feeling naughty and sassy and sexy and excited whenever hubby comes home. I feel like jumping around like a little puppy to greet him (and sometimes I do imitate a little puppy jumping around to meet him) ha ha ha ha ha ha...
6. Dark chocolate. YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!!! ;-D
7. I found oranges again on sale. They were only €0.99 per kilogram and they were SO delicious. YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-D
I haven't told you about Saturday. When we arrived at my in-laws, turned out that my mother-in-law wasn't home. She had prepared some reindeer and dessert for us, so we only needed to boil the potatoes and warm up the reindeer. She was taking a computer course. It took 6 hours. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that. She still has a spirit to learn new things even at the age of 63. I kinda missed her 'coz she only got back home at around 5 pm.
When she got back home, she had a sauna right away since it was still warm in the sauna, then she went to have dinner. Then she asked me if I was going to throw a big party on my upcoming birthday ha ha ha ha...Arttu said no. And she said, "Oh, then perhaps she'll throw a big birthday party next year 'coz she's going to turn 30 next year." On the way home, I joked to Arttu, "I ain't turning 30 next year. I'm only going to turn 18. So I still have 12 years left before I turn 30." LOL LOL!!!
Well, I dislike big parties if it's MY own party. I don't mind going to big parties if it's someone else's party. I remember that 17 is an important age in Indo 'coz some of my High School friend threw a REALLY big party. Sometimes when rich people throw a HUGE 17th birthday party, I wonder how HUMONGOUS their wedding parties will be like he he he he he he...I was invited to several 17th birthday parties of my friends and it was quite an experience. Oh well...now I'm getting sidetracked!
Anyhow, then hubby said that Pirita's Dad was going to come over to have a game night as he was home alone. So he did came at around 9 pm and they had fun till around 4.30 am. Hubby went to sleep right away as his head lay down on the pillow and he snored loudly. LOL LOL!!!
Due to coffee, I only went to bed at around 2.30 am but I think I only fell asleep at around 3 am 'coz the boys (hubby and his cousin) were gaming outside he he he...I woke up groggily at around 10.30 am the next morning and the rest of the day went very very sleepily.
My hubby was also sleepy 'coz he woke up even earlier than I did. While watching "Breach" last night, he fell asleep for a while HI HI HI HI HI HI...Breach is based on a true story. It wasn't particularly interesting (except the fact that it was based on a true story), but what I found fascinating was the underlying concept behind it. It's about a man who looks religious and he's really loved by his family, but then he makes indecent tapes of his wife and he sells information to Russia. What bothered me was the fact that at the beginning of the story, the guy was REALLY convincing. He goes to church every day and all that jazz. It's just unnerving to see the real guy behind the mask. It makes me wonder about what kind of masks people wear every day.
I think in the blogosphere people are more honest than in real life, so I'm not saying that I'm suspicious of anyone here, OK? I'm just saying that the movie made me wonder about people in general. The movie reminds me that there ARE people that are REALLY good at hiding behind their masks out there and we shouldn't be too naive.
Okay, now it's time for me to visit your blogs and then do my homework again. Let me also write my 3BT post here he he he...
1. Found CHEAP oranges on a discount! So they're MUCH cheaper ha ha ha ha...Only €0.79 per kilo! YIIIHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
2. Sold some beer cans and bottles, so I felt entitled to use the money to buy some frozen spring rolls. YES YES YES!!! I've been wanting to buy them, but they were expensive (today they're on a discount).
3. Bought two strawberry doughnuts. It was HEAVENLY!!!!!! ;-D (OK, OK, I'm a food buff, so I talk about food a lot in my 3BT posts LOL!!)
4. Getting SO MUCH food again from my mother-in-law. She's really AN ANGEL HE HE HE HE HE HE...
5. Being able to spend time reading at her house while hubby took a nap. I LOVE having my me time! ;-D
6. Enjoying spectacular winter views on Saturday. Mmmmmhhhh...LOVE this place to bits!!!! ;-D
7. Hearing hubby tell me "You're the best" again. YUMMY!!!! *grin*
1. I bought something for someone today. I'm SO excited about it! It's a secret so I can't write it down here he he he he...
2. Saw some oranges on a discount (only €0.99 per kg), so I bought a kilo. Just now when hubby came home during lunch break, we had an orange each. SO YUMMY!!!! They're imported from Spain he he he...
3. Saw a mother pushing a stroller and pulling a plastic sled where there are two little kids sitting in the sled. I can imagine myself pulling my own kid while he/she sits in the sled someday he he he he...
