Morning ladies!!!
I'm here, I'm here!!!
:D:D I just took a break from the computer yesterday evening! LOL I posted so much that I had to stay late to finish my work!
Okay, here come the personals!
Miracle,
I remember you asked about the evaluation; we're not really evaluated here at work. It's part of my work when I receive a request to see a new patient to start with a psychological evaluation. The patient was a bit peculiar and very slowed down by his meds, plus I suspect he's in and out of a small delirium too and he was sometimes confused and vague, so it took me a gruesome TWO hours to evaluate him, plus another 30 minutes to discuss with his nurses and the psychiatrist, plus another 15 minutes with his familly, including his wife who told me in the middle of the corridor what a violent man he is and how generous I was to listen to him for two hours because she was absolutely unable to do that. Wow...
Ah, well, I had fun with the nurses and the psychiatrist, at least!
I wrote it on your MySpace page and I'll repeat it here.. your furbabies are ADORABLE!!!!!!! I just want to hug them and pet them and let them play with Daria and Toulouse! And you, my friend, were glowing on your wedding day!
:D:D Oh,and I'm not shocked about you listening to musicals! Hehehehe I took tap dancing lessons for a year, and I love that music too! My musical tastes have been very diversified since... forever. It all depends on where I am and what mood I'm in. I can easily jump from opera to rock to pop to new age to musicals to acid jazz... you name it, pretty much! I simply couldn,t live without music, it's my way to just cut myself from the world and plunge deep into my fantasies, or to let my emotions out... it's such a blessing in my life!
Hi Chriss! Hehehe glad we entertained you! And the masses too!
Carolyn,
LOL yup, you asked two other times about the gender, my my my, I think I,ll make sure they find it just for you!
The plan is to wait until the delivery, but I'm aware that we could still see "something obvious" on the monitor if it's a boy. With girls, you really have to look close and get a good angle, and sometimes it's only confirmed at 32 weeks. Thanks for asking how I'm doing; I'm doing great! Looking forward to preparing all the Xmas decorations.. and FOOD! FOOD FOOD FOOD! ahem, excuse my enthusiasm!
I just love having the occasion to prepare dishes and desserts you don't really prepare the rest of the year. How exciting that you'll be going to Spain soon!!! I really, REALLY hope that you'll have a good experience there... and who knows, maybe you'll cycle in two countries!
I hear you on the noisy husband when he's sick... poor thing! He should go sleep with the dog and let you rest!
Miracle 2009! Go! Go! 2009! (just practicing my cheerleading...)
This weekend, I might do the Yule decorations as well... The tree, at least, and I might pester my husband, who'll grumble and try to sneak his way out of it, to install lights outside. It,s a question of days before we start accumulating snow, and I'd like the lights to be covered in snow by the time we reach the Holidays. It's SO lively to see the lights shine under a thin layer of snoooow! Plus I'd like to make some decorations myself this year, if I can find the time.
One source of worries is that we weren't able to book a place at the pension for the dogs. I called a month in advance and it was already full. We tried two other places she recommended, but they're also super full. Apparently, the 25th-27th period was exceptionally popular this year, while the New Year period is still quite free.
It's absolutely out of the question for us to send our dogs to the vet, where they'll be put into cages 24 hours a day. They both are dogs we rescued from shelters and they were kept in cages just like this. I don't want to traumatize them. The pension keeps them in boxes (like horses) and they spend 3:30 hours a day outside, playing together in a field. And my father and his wife, well... when we had one dog, they would tell us to bring her along, no problem. They would give her food in the kitchen and of course Daria would stay there whenever my father's wife was cooking. My father kept ignoring my requests to stop rewarding the dog by looking at her or talking to her when she bothered people at the table, so of course she continued. We'd always only stay 24hrs or so. And weeks later, we would hear through my grandma, my sister or my aunt that my father and his wife complained about the dog, how much hair they had to pick up, how bothered they were at the table and in the kitchen, and how my father's wife is just unable to like dogs. So we got the message even though they never told us to our faces, and whenever we have to visit my family, we have to pay for a pension. I hate hypocrisy for the sake of politeness... anyway, it's not very polite to talk behind people's backs.
It would break my heart not to be with my family on the 25th, but nobody will die. After all, the pension will only be busy around those dates, so we could easily come a few days later and spend 2-3 days there without the dogs. If they accept to let us bring the dogs, however, I'll bring up what people told us about the way they complained behind our backs and see if they still want us to bring the dogs. I just hope we'll be able to solve these matters real soon.
Either way, we'll have my belgian grandparents over for the 24th, and if we have to miss the 25th in Quebec city, I'll make another big meal and invite our friends, colleagues of my DH whose families are in Iran, France, or Croatia. They're nice people and they might appreciate spending Xmas night at a big table. And that means more fun cooking for meeeeee gaaaaaah!
:D:D
Geez, look at the time! I should get going. Take care lovelies, and I'll be around to play for sure!
