1. I was able to see MANY birds near my in-laws. Most of them were seagulls. Would you believe me if I saw seagulls in a YARD? HA HA HA HA HA...There were approx. 30 birds out there, flying back to the north. Unbelievable sight!!!
2. Sunbathiiinnnggggggggggggg and having fun with my Russian friend IN on Wednesday. Mmmmhhh...
3. My mom-in-law's thoughtfulness (yes, again!). She offered me something that she needed, but she asked me first whether I wanted it. Amazing woman! ;-D I'm SO lucky!!!
4. Feeling relaxed and having plenty of time to rest during my long holiday HO HO HO HO...
5. Talking to my Mom, Dad, brother, and his wife via Skype and knowing that they're all fine.
6. Hearing that my brother just got a raise and it's quite a nice raise. God is SO generous!!!
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.
1. One of the BEST things in life: showering with hubby, or to be exact, he went in first, then he rubbed me with soap HUE HE HE HE...We were cuddling under the shower head since it was cold if we weren't under the shower. *grin*
2. Dragging myself out of bed at 6.15 am to exercise. It felt GOOD to jump-start my day for a sleepyhead girl like me. Plus I still keep my New Year's Resolution HE HE HE...
3. Getting FREE books from the course. If you know how much books cost here, you'll know how HAPPY I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4. Being able to speak up in class. Learning to speak up feels GOOD.
5. The first day on the course, I was tensed whenever the teacher asked me questions, but now I feel that I can begin to be FAR more relaxed. I don't mind too much even if I make mistakes. The most important thing is practising, not trying to be perfect.
6. Receiving some compliments from a cousin about my blog HE HE HE HE HE HE HE HE...
7. Bringing lunch: rice, chicken, spinach, and imported chili sauce that one of my friends sent me as a Christmas gift. I haven't found any chili sauce THAT tasty here (with a dash of shrimp paste taste), so I was really enjoying every bite of my lunch. YUMMYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
***** This happened last night, but it's SO touching so I HAVE to write it down. I asked my Brit friend MC to vote for me on the Diamond Contest, and she wrote something that made me speechless. It's one of the BEST compliments I've ever received in my life. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MC!!! Olet todella arvokas!!! Olet yhtä kaunis kuin sateenkaari.
