This morning when R2 woke up, the temp. was -36'C but it's gone up to -26'C. The sun has been shining so beautifully this week, though, and we've got almost 9 hours of daylight already, so despite the freezing weather, it's been SO beautifully sunny and bright! ;-D
Yesterday as usual we went to my in-laws' and I brought a new pack of playing cards. You see, lately we've been playing a new card game which requires using the Jokers. However, 'coz we hadn't used them in other games, you could tell which the Jokers were among the other cards 'coz the back of those two cards still had very vivid colours compared to the others. That was why when I went to a bookstore the other day and saw some playing cards on a discount, I decided to buy a pack. The game became MUCH more interesting (and frustrating) 'coz it was MUCH harder for us to think of which tactics to use to win the game.
In the beginning of the game, BIL even accused me of having voodooed the cards or something HA HA HA HA HA HA...He even said he'd throw them away due to frustration hi hi...but in the end he said they were good cards and they made the game even harder to win. ;-D
Anyway, here are my weekend pics:
1st pic: LOVE it when the sun hits the treetops he he...
2nd pic: Bought three bulbs of tulips for MIL for Valentine's Day and yesterday I realized that they had bloomed, BUT I never thought they would be HUGE tulips he he...
3rd pic: The flowers from top.
4th pic: My tongue after eating berry dessert (blueberry, strawberry, and cloudberry)
5th pic: Due to the cold weather outside, the living room felt colder than normal, so R2 snuggled up on the sofa in his parents' house and covered himself with a blanket. I think he looks SO cute here he he...
I'll blog-hop later today or tomorrow. I have to think of some ideas to write again (to participate in another writing contest) and the deadline is the end of this week, so I have to move quickly HE HE HE HE HE...Hope everybody is enjoying themselves this weekend! Stay warm, people!
Woke up this morning with a VERY sore and dry throat. Last night I couldn't stand it anymore, so I kissed my hubby's lips a few times (no French kisses, though). I thought I would be safe since we didn't share saliva ha ha ha...but I guess I was affected anyway. This morning I let out some (sorry!) phlegm from my throat. Since I have to go to my Finnish class this evening, I decided to take some precaution by drinking Finrexin Neo. I don't really know what it is (all I know is that there's vitamin C in it and some other stuff), but hubby took it when he first found out that he was about to have flu. Plus it tastes OK, so I don't mind drinking it. By the way, it's a kind of powder with berry taste.
Right now my throat feels MUCH better (GLADLY!!!). I'd better drink more vitamin C, then. AND I should avoid kissing my hubby again until he's 100% well. *sob sob* ---> this is the toughest part he he he...
On days like this, when I have a sore throat, I long for porridge. Hot chicken porridge is the best kind of food to eat when you have a sore throat. Plus I want to make some cakue, as well, to eat with the porridge he he he...For those of you who don't know what cakue is, just click on the link. It's tough to imagine the taste, though...it's salty and it's like a light snack. It's SO tasty, esp. when eaten with the porridge.
Hubby's going to Rovaniemi on midday this Friday already. I wonder what I should do then. Maybe I should try making cakue and porridge he he he...I hope I can make cakue the right way as my friend tried it once but it didn't go well. Hmmm...wish my Mom were here to help me out he he he...I'm gonna miss going to my parents-in-law this Saturday as hubby'll probably be home only on Sat evening. I can't wait to make another SNOWMAAANNNNNN!!! HE HE HE HE HE HE...By the way, did I tell you that both my wrists were sore the whole day after I made the snowman? LOL!!!
Anyway, early this morning I also had a weird dream. I was back in Indonesia and I had to be a private English tutor again. I had to teach one student in the next few hours and I wasn't prepared already. I PANICKED as I had to find the old books I had used to teach my students and I only had a limited amount of time to prepare myself he he he...It was such a crazy dream! I woke up groggily and found myself a bit confused about everything. Maybe my subconscious mind wanted me to be able to get some income, eh? HA HA HA HA HA HA...Did you have any weird dreams last night? Sometimes dreams reveal what our subconscious mind is really thinking about, right? ;-D
Ever since I moved here, I've had dreams with a similar theme. I was back in Indo for a visit and for some reason I freaked out 'coz I didn't have enough money to pay for the plane ticket to go back to Finland. I know this sounds crazy 'coz if I ever visit Indonesia, I'll naturally buy a two-way ticket, so I wouldn't have to worry about paying for the ticket. I hated this kind of dream as I always woke up VERY tired afterward. I wonder what this kind of dream means...my subconscious mind is worried about money matters? He he he he he...
What I find interesting is that I've remembered many more dreams ever since I moved here. I wonder if that's because my hubby hangs a Dreamcatcher above our bed or not. His penpal sent it to him once and he's been hanging it above the bed. OK, I'd better have some lunch and then start studying Finnish again before my lesson starts this evening! ;-D
