Good morning everybody!!
I’m so sorry I didn’t post yesterday. I was still so tired from my 2 days in Antwerp. I even skipped a chance to see BD2 again on Sunday morning. I was just so sore from running around town for 2 days and having danced all night. I spend my day on the sofa, under a blanket (together with Garfield) and with a large bag of Belgium chocolate I bought in Antwerp.
So did you all have a good Thanks giving weekend?
I see I have a lot of catching up to do… I’ll try to reply to everyone…
Lynne, I hope you have made it through you panic moment okay…
Hihi, as you describe it I see no reasons you should have stress
…Seriously, stress doesn’t even cover it… Perhaps you should think about a few relaxing days around Christmas. A bit of pampering will do miracles.
Susan, how are your kids now that Sinterklaas is in the country. Around here I only hear parents complaining. The cream cheese I mentioned is named Pic Frisch, they sell it at the lidl. I don’t know the price but my friend told me it was better than Mon chou for making Cheese cake.
Austin, I don’t think we have anything like Black Friday here in Holland. There is one department story that has only 3 sales days a year and in those days you better avoid that store… but besides it’s only a bit busy on Saturday and Thursday evening,.
I hope your wife is feeling better?
Jaclyn, I’m hoping to move in between Christmas and New Years eve. Both my father and brother will be home than. I’m hopeful they can help with the heavy stuff. We do need to do a bit of decorating but it isn’t much. Just a bit of painting and getting new floors upstairs. We do want to do some construction work on the upper levels but we will wait with that until we have a budget.
The party was great, a lot of drinks, good food and dancing… but I do have some boring colleagues. I’ll tell you that.
Susie, I’m here… I had a good excuse for missing a few posts…
You got snow?! Yeez, your weather is insane… They are predicting snow this weekend or maybe next week but I’m praying it stays away…I can do without it.
Won’t you daughter come home for Christmas?
Everyone, I think you girls are amazing for donating money to Lulu. I had been thinking about it as well but sadly with the move and all I just can’t miss anything. So for now I’ll be donating kind words and lots of prayers… Maybe if I win the new years lottery I’ll pay for the whole thing…
Sarah, I don’t mind you rambling about shopping. I find it interesting to see how even within Western society many things are different between countries… We don’t even really celebrate Christmas with gifts… lat year I had to organize it all. So this year we won’t have gifts. I just don’t have time to organize it all this year.
Lulu, like I said above. Right now I can’t miss the money, but seriously we have a few lottery tickets for the new years eve draw… if I win I’ll pay for the whole thing… I just hope it will go alright…for now all I can send you are good vibes and prayers.
(btw, you should move to Holland!!! Here at least if you have a good health insurance they will cover IVF.)
Sean, how are you holding up?
Yes, I was very happy with the outcome of the last F1 race of the season. I was sad to see Hamilton drop out, it cost McLaren the 2nd place in the constructors title but Button’s win made my day a whole lot better.
Brenda, gods that pic is so good…
Wow, it feels like marital problems are going around like a virus… I wish you all the luck you need to make it work…
Uhm, yeah… I saw Kayla’s pics… that was what I was thinking about when I looked through the window of that shop… I should have bought it and had it send to
Kayla… (or
Caryn)… now I think about it…
Rose, I hope the thanks giving family drama wasn’t too bad…
Tracy, I know it’s hard to see loved ones get old and slow down. It’s the same with my grandparents. Especially my grandpa is getting really old really fast… I have to remind myself that my grandpa is happy if he can rejoin my grandma but it doesn’t make it easier to watch.
It seems like you and cars don’t have a good vibe right now… I hope the damage isn’t too much.
Alright, I have tons of work to do. From the 17th I have the rest of the year off so I need to finish up a lot…See you all later!!
