Why are you happy today?

Because I found sunflower seeds, salted and in the shell.

After the windy, rainy last few months, I finally got a little skydiving in! Wooo-hoooo.

Says my wife:

Now I have to second that:
1st jump since mid-november/1st jump in the new year. 3-way out of the Porter; pulled 10 points; jumping someone elses gear...rock!

Dunno, i just am.

Wind before the storm mate. Enjoy it. You might get stuffed by some balloons tomorrow.

These people who have such poor faith in their pilots that they jump out of the plane rather than stay on board for the landing!

I am well aware that Red Sox fans will turn up with balloons tomorrow.

Bloody love it to be honest.

I remember when Celtic fans turned up to an Old Firm match with sombreros and blow up pool toys cos they were off to play a UEFA Final in Spain and Rangers had been knocked out early.

I am having one of the best weekends in a long time so far, and still more fun to come tomorrow!

because my true friends know they can always speak with me directly if something is awry. I have seen one friendship deepened in the last week because some frank talk and a commitment to mutual respect.

Cos I got me a nice piece of duck for dinner and I shall nosh it later on with gusto and a bottle of wine.
Ha Ha! Fry duck, fry!

Because I bought myself a really nice set of cookware to replace the pots I've burnt up and now I can try to cook my husband a proper meal when he finally comes home.
.

Because I treated myself to a one-hour massage this evening and had a wonderful Persian masseur.

Cos City did the double over the Red Sox for the first time in 38 years.

And it took me to actually point that out to you too.

Balloons, mate! I'd forgotten what a City fan gloatin' actually looked like.

'Cos City humped Utd.

Oh hi Sin, didnt see you there.

P.s. celtic also annihilated the sheep shaggers

Because Scogs didn't have to drive to Brussels after all.

Cos I am eating an amazing duck sandwich, Jeez how good does a snadwich get?

Bought Joshs satellite dish /sky box/ and card last week . While he goes to California ( Slightly jealous for at least a week) I can watch 30 channels for free in English . Installed it all my self without any special equipment apart from my hands . Just watched "TimeTeam"and also "Antiques roadshow" OK a bit stuffy but good to view plus American idol with "Simon Cowel" I am happy for now!!!

I'm happy Herbie Hancock won album of the year at the Grammy awards. It's been 43 years since a jazz artist won album of the year. His CD the Joni Letters is on of my favorites.

Flight of the Conchords won a Grammy and my brother is sat with Jermaine Clement in the Flying Burrito Brothers in Wellington.

Of course, am also jealous as hell as am not there in person, but heck, is a very good thing in any case. Although I'd love a burrito.

even though we had a computer crash at the office, and we lost the last three days of work, the day went smoothly and everyone worked together to get everything together. Was very productive.
I finally took the time tonight to clean out all my mailboxes, and got rid of all kinds of crap in all my inboxes. It was very cleansing to get rid of some of that stuff that I had been carrying around with me.
I am also happy, that I finally closed a few chapters of my life and moved on.

it's nice to hear things are going better (smoother) for you and hopefully you'll be moving away from the recent stress by these 'closing chapters'.

I feel really good about 'closing chapters' it was really cleansing, and necessary.

I'm happy because my in-laws are coming tomorrow and I know my little one would be sooo happy. Playmates for the whole week.

Just booked my (and hubby's) flights back to Boston in June for two weeks. Whoohoo. First time in almost 2 years!

Because my sister's gotten engaged to the guy she was always meant to be with

I ate for the first time today some Reeces CUPS!!!

I think I may be the only girl in the history of the world to receive a bouquet of avocados for Valentine's Day, and I like feeling special.

Because I got 80 seats at the Oktoberfest.

Because I changed my cat litter from wooden pellets to sand, enabling me to use said sand on the ice on the sidewalk outside my house so no one will fall down and break their neck.

Last night I bumped into Charles Kennedy in my student union. He is the favourite to be the next rector at my uni. I'm pretty sure I said "charles, Charles! Fancy a drink? I fucking bet you do!"

Now there is a photo of me on facebook with "Charles Kennedy for Rector" written at the bottom on some campaign group.

Legendary night.

Report cards !!!

The boys each brought home fantastic report cards! The oldest is totally recommended for gymnasium (if he doesn't screw up before May) and the youngest is doing really well socially and acadmeically in his first year!

Off for celebration Pizza!!

OMG, this thread still running?!! Wonderful.

Well, let me leave another note, then: I am happy because I am going back HOME, soon

Congrats! Same with mine! Gymnasium!

I'm happy because The Sharks won their first Super 14 game and it hasn't cost me Euro 4,50,- to download it like it will when I land in DE.

Today? I'm still happy from yesterday because my shipping case turned up with my Beige Brigade shirt in it. Choooooooooooooooooooice.

Cos I might have finally found the right drugs to help with the cold / hayfever / flu / *insert any other sneezing disease here*

well the sun was shining thats good enuff... but i also got a new flat and will be movin in 2weeks

I am happy, because my bike was stolen 4 days ago! Sounds crazy? Well, I spend a joyous afternoon out shopping for a new one and have found the bike I always wanted. Twice as fast as the old one, with only half the afford. Only flying is better. Still, I do resent the person who stole my travelmate of 8 years!

Big hug to anyone who wants one

I heard from my cousin in Kandahar, and he is safe, he was at the bomb site of today to patch up some of the casualties (he is a medic in the Canadian military), he is keeping an online journal for us to read and keep us updated on his term in Afghanistan. I am very proud of him.

I baked a treacle tart today & because most of the family don't like treacle tart I will have the pleasure of devouring it over the next few days...

Managed to stay in pajamas until nearly 3pm + watch The Princess Bride + sweet talk someone else into making breakfast. Can't think of many better ways to spend a Sunday.

I just heard a Japanese chap say "After the collapse of the bubble economy". Made me chuckle no end.

And furthermore, voters in Pakistan might vote for a particular candidate because they are concerned about the price of ghee

My new car arrived at the dealer! Yeah!

Which is good because the whiz market has dipped?

Memphis is no1 and Tennessee is no2!
They meet on Saturday the 23rd and Tennessee has a real chance of beating them but good!

No, Gids, but it's funny because ghee is pronounced the same way as the word gee which is Dublin slang for pussy.

Because I just learned the Dublin word for pussy

Because "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole cheered me up.

Cos i'm going to be going spending a night out and staying with some bloody good friends in HH tomorrow.
