Unexpected pleasures....

having enough  students  to keep  one of my  night  classes  open  ! YAY!! 

Waking up to a crisp Autumnal morning. 

YES!

 

Now you need to learn to stop calling it a cell phone! 

(I have the same phone, and i love it!  )

Ohh sorry MO-BILE  ha ha.  I love it too I have been playing with it most of the morning.  I just wish I had more numbers to call or someone to call me...

Took my MIL and her two sisters to London on Saturday.  Had a fabulous day, gave them tickets to Mary Poppins and we waited outside the theatre at the end so we could see their reaction when they came out.  They all cried when they saw us, they loved it soo much.  It was rare to see such an outpouring of emotion for any of them.  It is a memory I'll cherish forever.

Another one..  Our guests leaving and getting ALL my laundry done!!  Yay..  I love having empty clothes hampers!

Almost got my Christmas shopping done. Only 3 or 4 more people to shop for.
First time I've ever got it done early. Its so much easier,no out of stocks,no crowds... I'm gonna be laughin at everyone who has to get it done Christmas Eve...Bwahahaha

Color me jealous, I have not even started yet. I'm still paying off this semester tuition for DH and have not even done DD winter clothes shopping yet! But I do the majority of my Christmas shopping online, too so should not be too bad.

I did atleast 75% of it online lol

It's 60F/15C outside!  And that's the warmest it's going to be ALL WEEK!!!  Leaves are starting to turn... the Equinox is this weekend.  I'm doing a happy Autumn dance!!

DH and I both got raises - retroactive to April!!!  Yahoo!!  Money for Paris!!  Yahoo!!

found an old lemonade recipe  and  halfed it  and it worked out!!  yay!  enjoying  an iced lemonade as we speak..

I'm going to get to come to England in March!

AND!!!

DF and I are going to go to Paris (with a school group) in May.    I'm going to get college credit for traveling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!       Even though it will be my third trip in two years, I haven't been to about 1/2 of the places we are scheduled to see.

Ok, I was perusing the iTunes store thanks to the Monkees thread...and came across 'Rhinoceros Tap' by Sandra Boynton.  Used to listen to that all the time when my kids were little.  I just had to buy it...so many happy memories!  I just finished the 'Bad Babies' song, and now I'm listening to 'The Crabby Song'.  ("Hey what a crab and ho what a crab, hey ho crabby crabby ho ho crab!!!"  My theme song!!!)

I read "But Not the hippopotamus" so much to my kids that I can still recite it off by heart!  I love Sandra Boynton.
