Why are you happy today?

The MIL got a job at the pharmacy and its only a 100m from where we live.

So can you hook us all up with cheap prescription meds now?

i cannot decide if it's a compliment or insult to be called a "lovely, young instructor".
I guess that's what one of my students refered to me as in a message she left at the Kennel Club.

since today is a blah day and i'm apprehensive about meeting with a client who's dog has 3 diff issues i'll take it as a "make me happy" thing (something has to today!)

I am happy at this very moment because I am eating delicious Korean food whilst listening to Rachmaninoff. It can't get any better than this.

I am happy everyday because being alive feels great, and life is beautiful - every moment of it.

Yay, how cool is that!

Congrats Mooster !

awesome!!! enjoy it

i just returned from a client's house where we went through different counter-conditioning techniques to work on with the problems her dog has. It's nice seeing someone become reliefed that there is a hope for their dog. Before i got there she thought her dog would have to be put down, but now she sees things can change and her dog is not as bad as she thought. We got Indie to be calm by the kid who he attacks and Brandon, the kid, could walk around him and everything no problem. Let's just hope she keeps working with him to keep it up! (Indie has 3 main issues).

it's also nice getting a message from a friend when i get back to the car asking how it went since i was nervous about it- nice to know people listen and care!

@ mooster: What exactly was the efficient manner? I showed my then future ex the dot on the ultrasound picture. And happy parenthood to you both.

DON is here today and tomorrow for an exam workshop. I was just briefly in the boardroom by them. Navy uniforms definately make me happy

Who is Don?

Department of the Navy.
we do a SSBB-DON (or perhaps it's DoN) exam for them-- six sigma black belt.

would you like to come join me bd? we can figure out a way to unobtrusively get free food/drink and watch them (also while getting me away from looking at more engineering, calibration technician, and auditor exams-- yawwn!!!)

Errmm what are you trying to suggest mere? Why would i want to watch a bunch of sailors?

That's how rumours start!

I am so happy today because my daughter's Einschulung didn't get rained out and I was able to watch the WHOLE thing because my two little ones were in Kindergarten

Six Sigma was all the rage in my company a few years back (did a basic course) but it seems to have gone out of fashion last year or so...

bd- suggesting nothing you just want to hang out with me!

HEM- i don't care i just work with the translations of the exams.
some people do Lean, some do SS, some do Lean six sigma. When it comes to six sigma there are also the diff. levels and crap. (i don't care about SS. it's not my favorite exam or program).

I can't stop smiling this morning... not going into detail but am very happy, happier than in an while

I am happy because I don't have a twin after all thus proving, yet again, the incompetence of German doctors.

I am so glad to hear that one of you is quite enough, now go pamper your cats.

Anchors away my boys, anchors away.

i was just asked to coach rowing!
wow... i'm not sure if i will or not, but it's still makes me happy that my former university team thought to ask me (this is the 3rd time in a row-hahah aren't i punny? i've been asked. the past 2 years i couldn't because i was in DE).

also, class went well last night even though two of the annoying people were there and another trainer as there for awhile and complimented me on some of my techniques

(unhappy note- my dog is still rather sick )

my life is slowly coming together: training dogs, being asked to coach-something I’ve wanted to do for the past 6 yr, soon will be fostering for a Border Collie rescue, love where I live, have a job-even if I don’t like it, and some really good friends and family! Now only if I could decide on which program to do for my masters, like my job a bit more, and be by a certain someone- I’ll even take same continent!

Was suppose to go out to dinner tonight and now I am just sitting here eating tortilla chips.

uh eurovol, wouldn't that be why you're UNhappy?

add some cheese and things to make tasty nachos!

My fiancee is coming back tomorrow and this time permanently I am rather very happy I am really tired of doing the b/w here and america thing which we have been doing for way to long. Now I am just trying to get the apartment clean for her arrival. Of course the washing machine decided to spew water all over the floor yesterday and subsequently break down. which means I had had to take a lot of laundry to the Laundry-mat, however I don't think I have ever seen my bathroom floor so shining clean in quite some time.

oh that's exciting!!! have fun.
ending the distance thing must be nice. how long has it been?

I have waterproof packed my stuff in my knapsack for my weekend canoe trip, got everything packed, all showered and cleaned up, and sitting down having a Bacardi Cola.
9 more hours of work and its Vacation time!

_{Dirty mac mode on :}

What you wearing little girl?

_{Dirty mac mode off :}

we met in Regensburg three years ago. The problem was she was only in Germany for a year as an exchange student. She spent a year finishing up her degree and ended up taking a teaching position for a year because she couldn't find a job here. We spent two years commuting b/w germany and illinois. Luckily we had access to buddy passes so it was doable. It was too long and I'm glad it's now over. I'm actually stressed as anything right now, but in a kinda good way.

surprise phone calls are nice.

(so is eating cheap thai afterwards)

i woke up by watching the video of the family guys take on "there is a hole in the bottom of the sea".. i laughed my ass off in the morning.. its a good feeling to get cheered up so soon.

I have finally finished packing and cleaning, now I just have to wait for my brother and his girlfriend to get here to pick me up.

I`M IN LOVE

Had a fantastic night out again last night, in the process of recovering and priming myself to do it all again tonight

I just finished my run and was a bit frustrated that they had part of Olympiasee blocked off, so I opted for a different route home. Paid off though as I went off my usual path and tried something new - I ended up improving by distance by nearly 1/3 a km in the exact time

Am very happy about that indeed. Think I will try more often to take the less travelled and unfamiliar path when ever I can, not just while running, but in life in general

My location says Munich again, and I am in Munich! Woohoo! I am a bit sad I won't see Heidelberg and my friends and co-workers and the uni there for such a long time but it's good to be home. No place like home...

i just listened to my favourite song all the way to work... it rejuvenates me so much.. btw.. today am waiting for the sanction of my vacation... i hope my boss brings good news *fingers crossed*

Welcome, but weren't you moving to Barcelona?

On the 29th. I had to give up my apartment in Heidelberg though and bring all my stuff here. I will be in Barcelona & Munich for the breaks for the next year and a couple of months (until Oct 08).

Cos it's very close to being weekend and it's the Big Kick Off tomorrow !!

I just cancelled a return flight to London that cost me 98€ and was unrefundable but still get 80€ back as the taxes and airline fees have to be refunded!

Today I took a fat-burning spinning class for the first time and it's was awesome!!! Never thought I'd find myself spinning, but my step aerobics class was cancelled so I gave spinning a try. I now know where I'm spending Fridays at 1700 I will be at spinning. Then I did Bauch, Bein, and Po. Now this old lady is very tired and heading to bed.

I have the cleanest refridgerator in Schwabing. Took ages though ...

Sorry about the wine in the freezer!

The freezer is next, I'm too pooped after spending over an hour on the fridge! The leftover concoction for dinner should be interesting though

Have fun!

What was the oldest item you found? I still have an (unopened) glass of sauerkraut that I bought for my Ma two years ago.

well, I have resigned myself to the fact that no one will eat the rhubard-ginger jam I made in June 2004. So that's gone... The Wasabi, Worstersauce, and A1 might be older though...

Actually I quite like rhubarb. Wish you had said.

Just made some Gluten Free Naan Bread and it actually turned out quite nice. Cant believe how easy it was to make and how tasty it is.
