Two things you are happy about today/

1.) My Dad sent me a recording of his band- he not only played on it, but he was the sound engineer and added other various instruments and backing vocals, etc and well it just sounds really awesome.  So proud of him!!!!!! 


2.) Hotel chocolates and chai tea.  Perfect work distraction.   

1. Sunshine and warmth. As much as I love snow, I am ready for spring.. and here it is.

2. The never ending joy I get from Moe, who not only loves to talk, but is quite easily the silliest bird I have ever seen. Sometimes I think there is crack in his bird food. 

1. I have finally had a chance to get back onto UK Yankee!! (It's been a CRAZY couple months!) Hello again!!!

2. I have 2 job interviews tomorrow! YAY!! Fingers crossed for me!

1. The recycled wool blanket my husband gave me for Christmas. Its so comforting, and perfect for the wintry weather we keep having.

2. Having Thai food from my favourite local!

1. Not having to go outside in the snow.

2. Not far into a big fat book from the library, so no need to go out to get a new book to read!

1. I got a job and really enjoyed my first 2 weeks there, this week I start a 4 on 2 off rota Tuesday morning.

2. Though the hubby has been sick, it was a nice 4 day weekend I had! Got to relax, overgorge on food and catch up on my UK Yankee! 

1. Spring seems to have figured out it is supposed to be here. Much as I love snow, I am ready for spring.

2. Two days off in a row can be very relaxing. I'd been working 7 days a week, trying to get the job I wanted. I couldn't give up my full time one until I had it so I was working two at one and five at the other. In seven weeks' time I'd had two days off, both unplanned. I was off yesterday and today, and I feel like a new woman. 

Four things:

1. got some tickets for a live show in the post
2. results are clear
3. Mr MLG got an A on his latest MBA course
4. going to a local restaurant for supper to celebrate

Goodness all around! 

my 2!

1. I know I keep talking about this all over the site, but glad to be done with the ILR Visa process! It took only 4 weeks!

2. Loving the turn around in life, new chapter!...New job is good, able to recover financially from job loss for 5 months, successfully lost 8lbs this month (15lb more to go!). Overall, I'm just MUCH happier with life! Pieces seem to be coming together now!...

Ohh...That was more than 2! 

1.) Made it up to 12 degrees today and not pissing with rain (but very foggy!!!) - that was exciting

2.) Starting the week on a Tuesday - killing two birds with one stone - onto Wednesday - the week's 1/2 way through! 

1. The lad ordered a set of towels from JL for me for Mother's Day  -- just been delivered.

2. Found a navy wool cardigan (as new) in the arthritis charity shop -- and machine washable.

1. Found a bunch of clothes hidden away that I had intended for a yard sale simply because of the expense of shipping them to the UK when we moved a few years ago. It has been great being reunited with old friends. 

2. Nine hours of sleep last night. Wow!

1.  Worked today but it was actually kind of fun!  (That's also an Unexpected Pleasure)

2. At work today I scored a pretty little cotton dress to wear with leggings, could be a work or play dress.  In colours I never wear; peach with lavender and white (and black).  Also scored M&S jeans, almost new, fit perfect *and* they are not too long--yay!

*and* they are not too long--yay!

That alone is a joy! At 5 ft 6 I have started trying on petite length first to see how things go. Average length seem to be at least four or five inches too long. Seems like these days petite is long enough, most of the time. If not, I go for average.

Wow, 5'6" is practically super model height compared to me at 5'2" !
