Why are you happy today?

I am happy my wife has taken the NewTopic posting by BadDoggie seriously and will do anything to avoid cancer.

Lucky bar steward !

Today I saw what I've thought for some time now was only a wild rumour - a german wearing white socks and sandals in the office.

Was one of those situations where you reel off a crap joke just so you can burst out laughing and get it out your system.

I am happy because someone said that my apartment is in Loonyburgstrasse (Lüneburg).

I'm happy today as TT mannheim won the pub quiz last night and we now have a bottle of Baileys to look forward too.

I couldnt get this song out of my head
You really got me
u Know what i mean ;-)

Because my life is richer for having read one of the most moving & beautiful book extracts I have ever read - Times Online: My love, I cannot live without you

I am happy because I listened to Saint-Saens Danse Macabre on You Tube and it perfectly fits my wretched mood what with the cold, inflamed eyes and dry cough.

cos its the weekend and lots of sport to watch in the pub tmrw!

Because I became a great-aunt again today: Rebecca Lynn has arrived!

Awwww very cute, Sara!!!

congrats to your family!

Congratulations! How lovely.

Cos i've been meaning to clean out my yahoo mailbox for donkeys' and just deleted over 800 mails.

Just my 95% full TT mailbox to sort out next

because things are not always as they seem.

Yeah I did that too earlier, and they were all from one person. Was about time I did this, haha. Add to that about the same amount of sent e-mails, though with Yahoo's unlimited storage it hardly matters now how many e-mails you store.

Because I'm coming to Munich for half term holidays and can't wait!!! I haven't seen my husband for 1 and half months so cant wait to see him!

I am officially on holidays. After a couple of extremly stressful months, I can totally relax now.

I have finally moved, and I got my deposit back! Have already unpacked everything and tomorrow I'm going to IKEA to buy the last few things to make my new room mine. And I finally got my books from Amazon!

P.S. Who on earth tried to call my German cellphone 14 (!) times this morning at 7am?!

Merlin passed his CGC tonight!!! It's for both the dog/handler so he passed his AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test!!! (not a title, just an award but still!)
I'm pretty proud of him considering 9 weeks ago he didn't have a name, wasn't housetrained, and didn't know a single thing!
Also, he worked well with some other people while I taught my first class of the night and for the second he was an angel in the ring with me and even demoed some stuff that he doesn't really know yet, but you defo fooled some people!

On top of it all I got the go ahead to start planning a few new classes I'd like to teach and I even have the backing of some of the higher up people! yay!
Today was definately a good dog day!
oh, and in 11 days (now probably closer to 10) i'll be in Munich with one of my favorite non-4 legged companions

Had a great evening and yummy dinner with a couple of friends in my great new apartment! And I went to IKEA yesterday so my room looks really nice now, though I might go there again for a few more things (I love IKEA!) and I got a new ep of Heroes and House to watch. (Let's just ignore all that school work that is piling up until tomorrow...)
And because my mood in general is just better since I have moved!

Oh yeah, after I moved in I found out I have a balcony, except they're doing work on the facade right now so it can't be used, but I hope by the time spring comes they will be done... gotta love those little surprises.

Because after a wee bit more than 3 weeks, my cold is FINALLY disappearing *knocking on wood*

because our company is now gone and we get to sleep in our own bed again!!!

eurobabs, same here it's been continuously getting better

also the list goes on to incude: i just figured out something at work which made me feel smart (I do research in wireless comm); everybody seems to have problems opening the glass door right next to my office, which makes for so much fun throughout the whole day

Because in one hour I am off for the weekend without kids and husband!!

Dont forget your horn!

it's trick or treat time at the moment and the kids are cute!

also, in one week i won't be falling asleep alone

I doubt she will.

I don't get this. Why are they trick-or-treating now? Halloween isn't for another 3 days.

ER I think in some towns or cities they do trick-or-treating on the weekend because during the week people are working and kids are in school, so when Halloween does not fall on a weekend they just move it to the weekend before Halloween.

Thanks Mariposa- that's correct!

Many places don't even do night time trick-or-treat, especially in the city. I live in one of the odd Milwaukee neighborhoods that still does.
Yups, it was yesterday (where i grew up and some other suburbs have it today) due to Wednesday being a school/work night. There are still some communitites that do it on Halloween. I could be wrong, but i think they have become more the exception than the rule (at least around where I live and many other larger cities).

lol, I didn't forget my horn and I played with it for 16 hours over the weekend

So who is coming to the concert then?

Just got a call from some guys in the military, they'll be visiting Munich tonight and offered to bring whatever my heart desires from the base! This is so awesome with Thanksgiving just around the corner. Of course, I had to request Cheetos! Its going to be a good day

Seeing cheetos quite popular here, I have a pack of cheetos at home, not interested to eat. If anyone is willing to take it, more than welcome

I'm happy because good news keep pouring in today, an unexpected lucky streak. AND there's a day off on thursday and no train strikes this week.

@L8knight - ooh, I'm jealous. I was just wondering who I could find that had a connect at a base. I need some Yankee Candles!!

But, whatever, I'm happy because last night I discovered that I have NASN (N.American Sports Network) on my TV at home and I got to watch the final game (after I knew the final score) of the World Series between my beloved Red Sox and the Rockies (the Red Sox, won, of course).

Is silly how a wee compliment can brighten your day.
Because a French guy in the street asked me last night for a cigarette.
Said no sorry and smiled.
He replied "Oh of course not, you can see you don't smoke, you have such beautiful teeth and a nice smile."
*beams*

That's a sweet thing to say. Frenchmen can be so charming.
We should all appreciate the compliments we get. My mother always said, "take a compliment as is, smile and say thank you and never look a gift horse in the mouth".

The Staff Celebration Committee is going around with massive caramel apples (some with stuff on them. I took one with Heath/toffee) to celebrate Halloween- yum! Definitely the highlight of today.

I just had haggis, baked beans, black pudding, toast from kingsmill bread, proper (not german) sausages... yum. have some of that

well in 60 or so hours i can have butter brezn and apfelschorle and all that!

enjoy your feast Schotte.

Because my little niece looked so cute on her first Halloween

Because my company is trying to buy my soul by giving me propaganda-gifts, and I'm happy to sell it for cake and desktop wind turbine models...

What a sweetheart, g24!

I just finished my term paper which is due today... now I can sleep. Also, this was the last term paper I had to write for credit for my English major before my MA thesis. Provided I didn't totally screw this paper up and somehow manage to fail, I would now be "scheinfrei" in English Literature.

what was it about?

I am happy because I have a new sub-tenant.

Sharpe, the title is:

The Significance of Modern and Ancient Forms of Blood Sacrifice in Leslie Marmon Silko’s Almanac of the Dead

The book on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Almanac-Dead-Leslie-.../dp/0140173196/

coz I am enjoying a chocolate covered Kimberly right now. Delicious.

a few hours ago i arrived back in Munich.
