I should co-co!!  :o >:( :-X

(by sheerest coincidence, i am wearing a retro Scotland football top today!)

Don't worry, I wouldn't offend my adopted countrymen!  I just wanted to wear it in England one last time.

Oh... I'm jealous again!  :P

Me, too.  Have a drink for me, girls!

3. My mom's coming out of the hospital today and I wish I was there, but I'm relieved that one of my brothers will be.

Great news!

Mine is a bit dull, as usual:

1. Getting a haircut and a wax tomorrow.
2. Have a bunch of The West Wing to catch up on.
3. Life has finally mellowed out a bit after a crazy busy couple of weeks.
4. Two weeks until my brother moves here!
5. I think I'm going to carve our pumpkin this weekend.

2. Our dishwasher is broken!
3. Looking forward to rubbish TV this weekend.
4. It's sunny and colorful out, but a tad too chilly.
5. Going to make Sammy's Hallowe'en costume this weekend.
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon
