1. Talking to my brother and my Mom via Skype. They're a bit under the weather due to the changing season, but they're fine and the wedding invitations are all printed and ready to be sent.
2. Watching shimmery snow under my feet. When I walked outside as it got dark, I realized that under the light of the street lamps, snow looked like a sheet of gazillion tiny particles of diamonds, shimmering in the dark. It was SO lovely! All those years watching snow on TV, nobody's ever told me about this! It was SO magical! I wish you could see it for yourself (for those who haven't experienced it): sparkly, shimmery snow...mmmmm...
3. The joy of making my first "perfect" cake for Father's Day with hubby's help he he he he he...
4. Tucking hubby under the blanket on the couch after he got home from work. Mmmm...
5. Seeing my in-laws and hubby enjoying the cake I made and then hearing them say, "It's GOOD." Ahhhhh...such a delicious feeling!!! *wink*
6. MAKING MY OWN SNOWMAN with the help of hubby! He he he he he...I'll post it tomorrow he he he...
7. Eating hot reindeer soup made by mother-in-law as it was snowing outside. I was craving for soup, soup, soup he he he he...
8. Finding a cheaper Dean Koontz book online to buy for my hubby's Christmas gift ho ho ho ho ho ho...SPLENDID!!!
9. Coming home in the car, feeling like I was being on top of the world and then flying he he he he he...I could feel my entire body bursting with joy, joy, joy!!! I could literally feel every pore in my body bubbling over with joy. It felt SO good to magnify every single WONDERFUL moment that I had experienced and absorb it completely.

Lady Luck
I had this weird connection with my Mom back in Indo when it comes to food. LOTS of times when I craved for something, yet I didn't tell her what I wanted, the next day she cooked the EXACT food that I had been craving for. Unbelievable!!! However, it's not "that" unbelievable as after all, she's my Mom, right?
Now after moving here for almost 5 months, I have to tell you that Lady Luck seems to have followed me here. I've had that kind of connection with my mother-in-law. Well, she doesn't realize it as I haven't told her about it, but there're already 4 instances when we "clicked" when it comes to food.
As you know, I'm on a tight grocery shopping budget, so I can't afford buying fish (sure we can buy fish once a month but only a small amount of it). Two months ago I was craving for fish twice and twice my mother-in-law satisfied my craving by cooking fish when we visited them.
Then two weeks ago I was craving for something soupy. We visited my in-laws again on Saturday as usual and ta daaaaaa...what did I found? REINDEER SOUP!!! YUMMY!!!
Then just last week after having lunch and sauna, we were lazing around on a daybed (hubby was watching F1 qualification). I was reading a book and thinking how wonderful it would be if I could cook sausage at home. Unfortunately, I had eaten our last sausage the day before and we couldn't possibly buy more at the supermarket as it was late already (around 7.30 pm). Then what happened a few minutes after I had that thought? My mother-in-law came into the room and asked if we would like some grilled sausages. Talk about "coincidences"!!! Of course I said YES right away HA HA HA HA HA...LOL!!! Boy, my belly was SO HAPPY then. *HUGE GRIN*
So, I sure do hope this luck continues he he he he he...^________________________^
