Sounds like a great list to me!  ;D Enjoy your time off.

1. We're off to the carvery tonight for a turkey and the trimmings meal.

2. We still have half a pumpkin pie left, even though we've been greedy with it.  ;D

1. I ran the 14km Vauxhall Bridge loop this morning and it felt easy:o

2. I just tried on the dress I'm sewing for my husband's birthday celebrations next weekend and holy crap, it's awesome in a va-va-voom vixen pinup girl kinda way. He's going to love it, though I'm not certain I'll actually be able to eat anything at the restaurant!

Happy 7th yesterday!  [smiley=love.gif] Our 7th anniversary is next month.  ;D

1. Peppermint cocoa with REAL American marshmallows (Campfire brand, to be exact) making it so creamy and lovely.

2. Being okay with the tree not going up today as planned because we had other things we needed to do. Still, all is a definite go for tomorrow afternoon.  [smiley=antlers.gif] [smiley=elf.gif]

The 21st. :) We were married, on an incredibly cold day, and a blizzard hit the next day.  ;D

1. Part one of hubby's visa was mailed off today for our return to the States.

2. The tree is going up today, since we had too much to do yesterday. Joy! I also found candy canes today after searching everywhere.

1. Temporary Car till mine gets fixed compliments of my work (Which I wasn't expecting at all!...My car broke down on the motorway yesterday...)

2. The cost to fix my car isn't going to be as high a I was originally told! (again, because people at my work with strings to pull have been able to help me out!)

1 Nice hot bath aaaahhhhhhhh  [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]

2 [smiley=curtain.gif] I have a crush  [smiley=blush.gif] I'm not spoken for but I haven't had a crush since my last BF back in 2009. It feels kind of nice, after so long, you know, the fluttering heart, the blushing, the uncontrollable smiling, that reason to wake up early for that 9 am lecture :P  I haven't confessed anything to my friends but they so know ;D Too bad he's not single at the moment, but my friend swore that if he were single, she would have so forced it  [smiley=laugh4.gif]

1. Very iffy -- but there is a slight chance I may be offered another term contract at work -- 6 months only. May not wash with HR but nice to know someone thought well enough of me to give it a try.

2. There's a new knit shop in my home town.  Looking forward to drooling over the yarn.  [smiley=smug2.gif]
