for AJ...

per her obsessiveness of checking this thing, i will write this lovely post, and dedicate it to her! haha - and Gingerbread house making will be a huge highlight of my first week back!! YESSSSS

143!!!!!

its tuesday, i woke up thinking and wishing it was friday, but i feel so well rested! and my ailments are getting better! yay!! still not good, but better, and i'll take what i can get!!

determined to be productive today - actually going to the library to work on a paper, and finish a draft - thats my goal! it shouldn't take too long. once i actually sit down and work i get stuff done pretty quickly, but my attention span is that of a 6 year old boy with ADD these days, so thats something that is going to need to be fixed by January when school actually starts up again.

Bummed I'm missing Thanksgiving on THursday, and that I missed Dad's bday - age not to be disclosed ;-) - last night, but thats life being in England. a Skyped Thanksgiving will have to do, at about 10pm here I'll be "sitting" at the dining room table, eating my attempted yams from 6000 miles and 8 time zones away.

Getting excited about Germany next week!! Going to see Connor play with be great! I'll get a taste of what it was like for my dad when he was there. And then going to Anja's again will be great! Hopefully she doesn't overfeed me, again (I don't think a person can eat 4 pieces of afternoon cake, a huge lunch and then 10 slices of bread for dinner! ahhh) But I really am looking forward to that as well.

Less than 3 weeks!!

Miss you all! Love you all!!

xoxo
