1. My kindle came yesterday. ;D It's my belated birthday present from DH, MIL, FIL, and BIL. I'm really excited about it!
2. I get to see my SIL and niece again today. I only just saw them 2 weeks ago! :)

and another one...
3. My medication was actually delivered on time today (well, 2 minutes late, but they called) with no issues for the first time in months.
Finally living with my Husband in London after 6 1/2 years together but apart... and loving my life!

1. I'M HERE! And getting the flat etc the way I like it :)

2. Just booked a Halloween trip to Glastonbury including a family Hallow's Eve party at Chalice Well, and a stay at a kid-friendly B&B! And the little one's giraffe costume is on it's way in the post. Can't wait!

Hooray and welcome to the UK!   :) The Halloween plans sound fun. We don't have set plans yet, but we do have some friends who dress up and hit the pub so I intend to see what they are doing.

I was coming to post my Halloween related things for the day's happiness when I saw your post.  ;D

1. I remembered to get my Halloween socks out today (holiday specific socks have to be stored elsewhere because my sock drawer is shoved full since I am a sock addict)

2. I'll be putting the Halloween decorations up today. I have very few here, but plan to buy more and also bring more over next trip. Most of mine are still stored at mom's. I love Halloween and have more Halloween decorations than a lot of people have Christmas decorations.

Thanks and hello! I am loving it so far. Was a bit gutted to learn that there wasn't much in the way of trick or treating here, but this party should hopefully be fun (there's a children's parade and all!) Also I love socks, especially seasonal ones.

Let's see....

1. I have a stack of new graphic novels/trade paperbacks to read courtesy of my husband.

2. Tonight said husband will be out for a guy's hockey thing, so it will be just me and the baby (we haven't had a lot of alone time lately), and I think we're going to get McDonald's too :D It's terrible but I love it!

1. Our group for Saturday night's 'outing' is steadily growing. We're off to a town nearby to a pub and out for a curry, then back to town to hit another pub. It is a 'sensible shoes' kind of night, from the sound of it. (Heels and beer don't mix for me.)

2. Having a bit of an early start (normal for me) listening to Christmas music.  [smiley=antlers.gif]

1. Hubby is coming home early to watch the baby while I go to the doctor and he takes her to shop for my birthday presents! I am honestly just as happy to go to the doctor as I am getting a much-needed checkup and will finally get on some sort of birth control! (sorry if that's TMI :D ) Plus I can read my book in the waiting room without the little one, hahahaha

2. The hot weather is finally GONE and it's nice and chilly and grey! Sounds odd I know but I hate hot weather. I do however love chilly grey fall days!

2 week countdown until boyfriend comes to the states and were going to Florida. It's been so long, when he gets here, it will be exactly 4 months since I've seen him, and a year since we were official  :\\\'(

Got some H&M coupons, they are finally starting to put out more coupons, it helps cos the closest location is a half hour drive. So a trip to H&M soon!!

2. It is getting closer to a great night out with friends Saturday.

1. I got to babysit my nephews (7 & 9) tonight. I'm cherishing every moment due to impending nuptials and move. Think I freaked them out saying "I'm going to miss you so much when I move to England"
2. Got to spend quality time with SIL today. She's usually so busy that we miss out. But we got in a good walk and rehearsal venue search. Dang, my bro really married well!!

1. I'm meeting a new acquaintance today to go to the antiques fair. She is a recent German expat who is in the same boat as me (no car, no job), so I am hoping that i can strike up a friendship with her.

2. My mother is transferring some extra cash to my bank account in honor of my birthday! I thought I was just getting a card from her so it's a nice surprise :)

1. Had a great weekend - saw my sister, BIL and nephews, whom I haven't seen in a while; had a nice impromptu visit with my grandma; and had a nice visit with Balmerhon and Mrs and Mr Robinson!

2. Had to get up for the commute to work this morning. I'm very grateful to have a job!

1. I have no duties, plans, or obligations today! I have had such a packed schedule lately that it's nice to just have a day to do whatever.

2. Takeaway tonight :D :D :D

1.  I found really yummy fresh roasted corn-on-the-cob at the farmer's market.

2.  We're just off to the common for a late afternoon ice cream cone in the sun.
