Why are you happy today?

Yummmyyy... Candy Corn... something we all love because it ties to our childhood...

but most Germans (and europeans from the look of it) hate the stuff.

LOL reminds me of Vegimite.

I'm happy because it's the day before halloween... Woo hoo - I get to dress up for a party tomorrow!

I'm happy today because I'm just in the process of writing bills to be sent out. And they were bigger than I thought. Hurrah! AND I'm also getting candy corn from my secret supplier. Bless her heart.

I'm happy today because I just finished eating half a gorgeous juicy pomegranate...and I have the other half for tomorrow!

Go on - be a devil, have the remaining half today!

How did you manage to resist eating it all?

Oh, its just that it was enough...I wasn't keeping it as a treasure! I can afford all the pomegranates I want

I was thinking that you were being really weird and extreme and counting calories before the big day!

Believe it or not I was in a brilliant mood this morning. My little "hunny" landed in London last night and called me this morning yipppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

So you could get banged up twice in one week!!!

Because it’s nearly Tuesday, which means I’m one step closer to my ultimate aim of World Domination and a day closer to getting back to Munich.

I'm also happy today because I'm taking an ENTIRE WEEK OFF in a few days and skipping the country to go do absolutely nothing. Well, you know. Pretty much absolutely nothing.

I am happy as I dont return to Germay till next week now.

You ain't the only one

I am so happy because the constellation of Orion is now up in the midnight sky and I dont have to be awake at 5am running downstairs to make my daughter a drink in order to see it! For those who know it the Sword of Orion is fantastic to see!

One of the weirdest things I have ever seen is Orion in mid-August viewed from a jacuzzi in Cancun. I was happy then, too, because I was drinking a piña colada at the time.

I love Orion, makes me feel right at home. Will keep an eye out for it tonight

I am happy because pretty soon I shall see Orion standing on his head.

good weather, not much work and tomorrow is a holiday...YEAH!

Not for us up in the Far North

I am happy because last night a made a huge batch of chicken and sliders and just had them again for lunch.

What time do you have breakfast if you have lunch at eleven?

breakfast was at a bright an early 5 am, the time change does weird things to my body.

That is early! I have to get up at 6.30 and even that is far from easy.

My newly refurbished local supermarket. Now stocking sweet potato and...wait for it...fresh nan bread!

Even the packaged salads are pretty good, and a selection of ready meals when I am feeling braver and lazier.

Heating engineer turned up this morning - and it works nicely!

Telekom engineer turned up this morning - the phones work!

Internet banking now sorted and working and suppliers paid!

Even the damn mosquitos and flies are nearly dead.

scary days!

I might even stay here a bit longer. All we need is some fresh snow.

good for you

I just got the nod for the flat I really wanted! Happy days!

My late afternoon class for today got cancelled as well as the class I was supposed to subsitute for so it looks like I have an early Feierabend AND I don't have to work tomorrow. Yay! (Unfortunately, happy hour at Sausaulitos in Essen doesn't start until 4pm. Bugger).

Great news! Congrats on becoming a poor, employed ex-student

Congrats Panama, welcome to the Tax paying world now!

Panama, congratulations! Must have been all that preparation the night before the interview...

I am happy cos I just bought a really cool new pair of boots (okay so cant afford them but they look good!!!). And cos my plans to get back to Munich full time in a couple of months seem to be moving along and I can get outta London again !

got an idiot called kylie bach on the smoking thread to play with. ah, the simple things.

I'm sure that nice thai curry from last thursday was the key factor Tiggi!!

I love the happy thread...I get happy reading the good news of almost all strangers.

@Deccie- what wonderful news...for both of you. here's to continued health.

@DDBUG - how exciting for you and your new self-employment.

I am REALLY happy today because I had a very reassuring medical check-up AND it was the last day on my job. Lastly my husband was offered the new position in London and so we will definately be going...scary but exciting.

Life is bringing many changes very fast and I am looking forward to where it will lead us.

congrats gemini,

very exciting indeed. Best of luck

The day has got better. Bought a new coffee machine and hairdryer. Just went to the Carribean Takeaway and had Jerk Chicken, Curry Goat with Rice & Peas, Saltfish & Ackee, yam, sweet potato, green banana & dumpling - yummy!!

And I'm no longer a tard

I hate envy you!

I am happy because my little boy announced today that he can clean himself after going to the toilet. I have been waiting for this day for 4 long years!

You'll be even happier when he comes to you in front of all your guests and spreads his cheeks and says look ma, all clean.

I've got nummy tomatoes, great friends, and a glass left of ok wine.

This day, I are mostly been happy, cos of SNOW!!!

i'm happy cuz of the snow even though my glands are all swollen and it's sore to breath!

Just booked my first snowboarding weekend of the season. Nice little 4 day Friday to Monday gig in December. Bring it on.

I am happy as Strawberrystar just left awhile ago, after doing a super Reiki treatment and I feel great!
