Unexpected pleasures....

SCORE!!!!!
I just called Virgin to see what kind of plane I'm on.... I GOT A BED... BOTH WAYS!!! WOO HOOOO!  My god, I may actually be able to stretch me legs AND sleep, on a plane?!?!?  It's unheard of in my world.
 
Very excited, and plan to enjoy it while I can (lest you think I usually travel like this... NOT)

Wow! I am jealous! That is great for you! A comfy flight is not something I have ever had! I don't know though, I think I am better sticking to being cramped in coach, not sure I could ever go back to it after flying like that!!!

You have that right! I have only flown Business or 1st class transatlantic for work and its like night and day. One other time last year we were upgraded going back to the states (that was on our own dime). I was thrilled....then coming back we didn't get upgraded and I was actually upset. I threw my purse on the coach seat in disgust (no one saw me do that but my husband). He said "come on, that was a bonus flying over you can't expect it everytime". He was right, I was being a baby about it. It was bad though, a group of teenage girls on a school trip talking all hours of the night and worse kicking our seats the entire way over, even when I very nicely asked them to stop kicking...one girl kept putting her foot on the arm rest between us.  I should have gone to the mothers/teachers on the flight and asked them to switch seats with us if they couldn't get the girls to be polite.

But you are sooo right, once you have been there (a higher class cabin) its soo difficult to go back to coach class.  Now thinking about our coach seats in January.  :\\\'(

4 of the Arsenal football team members coming to our ward and telling me I had cool hair...what's his name Cole something? So I got a few signatures to give to my daugther's school for their Chocolate coin drive efforts.

Lucky you!  His name is Ashley Cole.

Getting a nice tax refund from Inland Revenue which will cover my New Year's trip to Hong Kong and Beijing.

Came home to a bubble bath, dinner being cooked, and the house still tidy from two days ago.
All I can say is WOW!  Hubby gets big bonus points!

Lucky you!  His name is Ashley Cole.

I've been flipping through the playbook it was  Eboue , Toure , Van Persie , Cole , Almunia , Senderos and Song who I got signatures from and they gave tons of toys out so much that they were just giving stuff to staff because the hospital has only a certain amount of space. Phil is telling me Ebay the extra playbook!

ebay it and give the money to your charity drive!

Spoke in an informal group setting yesterday for about 20 minutes, full of people I hardly know (which is REALLY hard for me), and was stopped afterwards by 3 seperate people who complimented my "amazing eyes".

Which was enough to repay me for public speaking. I'm so vain. 

Finishing my finals and making ALL A's and B's in my classes!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I worked my butt off. I think all I'm going to do is sleep for the next three weeks.

On my way out the door this morning, I gave Courtney a kiss goodbye and said "baby gets a kiss first" then gave Dale a kiss and said ,"and you're last" ,all of a sudden Courtney looks up , puts a huge smile on her face and giggled for the first time!

Shock of my life, but a pleasant one!

I got an email from an old friend, who advises me that another one of our mutual friends...  my best friend from my early-to-mid teenage years... has moved to England with her husband's job, and is now living in Cobham, Surrey!!   

I havent been able to contact her just yet (so if anyone knows of an American family in Cobham, with 3 kids... let me know!  ), but it's such a weird (but pleasant!) thought to think that i might get to see her again after all these years, and even weirder to think im going to see her  in the UK, rather than on a visit to the US!!

a glass of cider w/lunch - no acid reflux afterwards!
