3BT: Friday, Saturday, Sunday (January 4-7, 2008)

1. Hubby making sure that he wrapped his big hand around my tiny fist so that it would stay warm while we walked to the bday girl's house when it was -15'C outside. *warm smile*

2. Finding some people who were interested in practising their English, not people who felt forced to talk to me.

4. Even though hubby was drunk, he still remembered to offer buy me some pepper steak when we walked home as we passed by a resto. Mmmmm...

5. Seeing mother-in-law walking without her walking sticks. WHOOPPPEEE!!! Progress is always good!!! She's going back to the doctor for an X-ray sometime this week. I'm gonna SMS her sometime to find out the prognosis.

6. Mother-in-law approaching me when I sat next to the fireplace. She knew my feet were cold (even though I said nothing to her), so she took out some thicker socks from the cabinet. BLESS HER!!! Her action really touched me. I'm SO LUCKY to have such a caring mother-in-law. Even though we can't communicate well yet, but she's SO loving!!!!!!!!!!

7. Eating dark chocolate that melted in the mouth. They were VERY delicioussssssss...

Mother-in-law Update

Yesterday I sent an SMS to my mother-in-law, asking about her ankle. She said that she took some painkillers, so it was getting better. But I'm more glad when I received her SMS an hour ago, stating that she went to the doctor and she got her ankle on cast since there was some fracture. It's always dangerous when an older person falls down. I'm GLAD my mother-in-law is health-conscious. She says that she's now walking with Arttu's grandpa's stick. I'm glad that there's at least a walking stick in the house already.

I remember buying my mother a walking stick with four legs (the best kind ever to support your weight as it was SO stable!) when she first got problems with her knee. Even though now she isn't using it anymore, I'm glad the walking stick was beneficial for a while. Plus it was also beneficial when my Dad had a mini stroke and had to learn to walk again.

Ahhhh...health is SO important, everybody! So let's just take GOOD care of our asset he he he he he...

By the way, I'm going on my pre-Christmas party at around 6 pm, so wait for some story and pics tomorrow he he he he...I can't wait to taste the food in that restaurant HO HO HO HO HO...Remember that there aren't fancy restaurants here in this little village, but it's the company that counts, right? I can SOCIALIZE!!!! YIIIHHHHHAAAAAAAA!!!!! ;-D

And here's a cute cat video clip for you to enjoy (I was going to share a music video clip but couldn't find it)!!! I LOVE the cat on the right. SO VERY adorable he he he he he...
