Why are you happy today?

Oh shut up! I hate happy people.

Look on the bright side, i won't be at TTT

Because I am investing €150 (including freight, insurance and express delivery) in a super-duper carpet beating vacuum cleaner as I am sick and tired of cream-colored carpets covered with black cat hair.

Yes, it would be cheaper to ditch the cats, and they aren't even chipped.

sod ditching the cats, emily cost us over a grand to have her leg choped off

Got a new iPod Nano from work!

I am happy because the sun shines

do you have any vacancies?

Because a Cypriot guy who did some work on my last project has just given me a big block of Halloumi cheese which has just come from a farm near his home. Result - I love the stuff marinated with oil and chilies mmmmmmm

i'm eating cheese! i love cheese (not that nasty stinky stuff though, good Wisconsin cheese!)
eating some nice string cheese at the end of the work day while trying to forget about all the issues of the past few days and upcoming week or so
oh, and in less than a month it's St. Patrick's Day and before that I get to see my boyfriend!!!

Because I just booked a trip to Madrid for next month! And because a good friend is coming to visit on Saturday!

Because I am listening to UT-Auburn and we are beating the hell out of them. The game against Memphis will be truly 1 versus 2 if they can beat Tulane.

Tennessee is beating Auburn and Memphis is beating Tulane! Saturday's game will be awesome!

The platform I am working on for sponsoring children leukamia patients have been approved! Wonderful!

After about two weeks of hemming and hawing, of trial and error, I finally have a CV which I can look at and say: YES!!!

Because I woke up this morning and had the MorgenMagazin on telly. Up pops Molly Malone's pub in Munich.
Thought I had gone bonkers but no was due to the Aberdeen match tonight.
Put an early grin on my face and that's a good thing.

'cos i'm having a wee jolly over to belfast for the weekend. looking forward to the scot v ireland rugby banter. and playing on the fact i'm scottish and should get some action because of it

Cos even though i feel like death, i've just had a fone call that should mean my days of bloody Jeremy Kyle are now numbered.

Because even though I too am feeling like death (and have been for about two weeks), today's my last day of work for nine whole glorious days. I get my guy all to myself (meaning no in-laws! that in itself merits a celebration!) every day and every night for over a week without him having to dash off at odd hours to give people tickets! Yay!

And congrats bluedave, hope it works out.

Because it is Friday, sunny, and I get off work in an hour! And my car seat got repaired so that I can lean against it again and don't have to stay upright by gripping the steering wheel when I accelerate (same problem that I had with the passenger seat in the Fall) -- the mechanics told me I shouldn't move the seat so much. But in a car with two doors, how do you get the dog in the backseat otherwise?

Anyway, it is fixed, and they aren't even charging me for it! Woohoo!

Wahay - I just got paid. First time ever in Germany. Hurrah! And bugger all tax for some reason, although probably down to never being paid before I think.

Does "Kyle" rhyme with "pile"

Well done. Hope it goes well.

OpenOffice's latest update includes define your own colors for type and backgrounds. Saving me hours of work!

Because I'm just about to leave work & tomorrow go skiing for a week.

Me too!

I had a great afternoon with a couple of newer TTers and met a newer TTerinnen yesterday for hot choc and a chat. Love meeting new people.

edit- I had a Cadbury's cream egg tonight, and I sucked the middle right out of that bugger!

Cos was nice to meet former work colleagues and receive support and confirmation.

Cool!
I had a great night with my couch surfer after a great evening of peace and quiet once the kids were gone.
And like blue dave, I also met with people who did the support and confirmation thing.

And my house is still clean!

Becuase I've had two amazing agility lessons in a row! Also, McDonald's has shamrock shakes

DDbug- couch surfing is great! it's great you're part of it.

"shamrock shakes " That would be a Patrick the morning after 25 Guinesses, right!

Because the sun is shining and it feels like summer, and in 25 minutes I am off to the airport to pick up a good friend from Munich.

oh, yum! Lucky girl!

Because I just won an iTouch at an internal contest at work.

Because Tennessee beat Memphis and will become number 1 in the polls today. Can't wait until March Madness!

Because Tobi is no longer afraid of the evil paw-smashing garage door. And tomorrow is pay-day. Hurray!

Because my cousin had her baby, a girl named Sophie, today. Love how my cousins planned their babies for when I am living abroad. Cousin #1's baby #1 was born in October 2004, while I was living in the States, Cousin #2's baby #1 in September 2007 (when I was already in Spain), and now cousin #1's baby #2 today (still in Spain)! Glad they're doing well, though, that's all that matters. And cousin #3 just sent me a baby picture of my cousin #2's five-month old daughter, so cute!

Because Javier Bardem is coming to collect his Oscar.

Congratulations!

Oh what a typo! Awesome! Can you tell I am tired? Haha.

i saw that too Kay and that it was great. definatley made me smile- and i needed to!

Or a Freudian slip, maybe?

My cousin is a girl. No thanks, no incestuous fantasies here.

But I am worried about the time when you will be able to send babies via instant messenger.

Other than that I’m happy because Time Team is on TV in a min, I have a bottle of wine and tomorrow is TTT, which I’m hoping to make

The sweet little ten-month-old girl who was smiling, giggling and playing peek-a-boo with me on the S-bahn this morning. Kept me smiling all day!

I’m happy because the person who for over a year has threatened my girlfriend with the sack and generally made her life hell because he ‘loves her’ and ‘cant bear to see her with anyone else’ even though she wouldn’t touch him with a ten foot barge pole, no longer has any control over her.

No, nothing of the kind. I meant a subconscious wish for a baby of your own!

Because I am able to be home with a sick kid and still work. Ok, not as effectively in the job I had for this week and climbing the corporate career ladder is out, but I don't care. My 10 year old carries on more intellegent conversations than most permanent employees in that office anyway.

Oh, not really. They're cute, and I am all like awww whenever I see one, but sadly they only come as a cute, pooping, crying version. Not sure I am ready for that just yet. I think I'd be happy if I could just babysit one of my cousins' babies sometimes. Maybe this summer. (At least the one that was born yesterday, my other cousin lives in Cologne.)

I am extremely happy because I decided to go against my dermatologist's advice and started using cortisone cream on my face which has made my allergic rash get better within a couple of days, as opposed to this past year of on-and-off "Really Bad Face Days". Screw homeopathic remedies, I want normal skin!

because i havnt chucked up in the last hour

that sounds about the same as here then
