Journal tuxette's Journal: phr34king out 32

Journal by tuxette
Happy birthday to me. I've caught boyfriend of tuxette's cold/flu/cough and feel like crud. I was a kilo less on the scales this morning, and that's probably due to loss of all that snot that's running out of my nose. It's going to be +10 C today and pretty much all weekend. I have no job and no money and thus can't do the retail therapy thing or just buy a plane ticket and take off to some place that does have beautiful white snow and subfreezing temperatures. What else could possibly go wrong?

On the bright side, I arrived at the breakfast table to find a beautifully wrapped package, waiting for me to open it. In it, 4 cookbooks (part of a series). The cuisines of Thailand, Spain, Greece, and Italy. Thanks, boyfriend of tuxette! :-)

    Ja, deg vil vi gratulere!
    Alle i ring omkring deg vi står,

  • "Birthdays are good for you. Statistics show that the people who have the most live the longest." (L. Lorenzoni)
    • Heh. Considering how long people in my family live, especially from my mother's side, I'm already planning my 100th birthday. It will most definitely involve strippers and lots of booze :-)
      • Hahaha! "You won't believe what auntie Tuxette had arranged for her 100th birthday! Strippers, booze, blackjack tables and - the strangest thing of all - all food and drink was served by these weird penguin androids."
  • Happy Birthday

    Here [lowe.id.au] are some Woodles [lowe.id.au] for you, Wife of BugZRevenge said one of them got hungry, sorry :-)

    Hope you have a good day, despite the cold, and hope you get well soon.
    • Now that was cute. I wonder how I can get one of those things over here. We do need a waffle maker... :-)
      • They were selling them everywhere over here for Christmas. You may be able to find an online store that will ship O/S, then again, a quick google could not find much...
        Good Luck.

        The only complaint, it only makes two, however my oldest daughter loves them, she tries to make them stand up on her tray.
  • What else could possibly go wrong?

    Hey, look on the bright side: at least you haven't been turned into a toad :7

    And a happy happy birthday.

  • from the land of school officials overreacting to snowfall. No school again for my daughter though the last flake fell some 30 hours ago.
    • Oh?

      Where is that?
      • the hills of lower Litchfield County, Connecticut. It's almost pathetic, she's had 5 days off for snow this year already (and we're not having a rough winter by anyone's measure). I never had a single day off for snow during my 12 years of school in Sweden. And, I walked uphill against the wind both ways 15 miles.
        • Hey,

          I am currently stuck in Canada ;)

          I grew up in Germany and I can't remember having a day off because of snow either...

          As for "up here"... Well, let's put it this way, there was snow yesterday in Vancouver, so nobody snowed aerm. Showed up.
          • I have been living in Germany for my whole life and I can remember one day off because of freezing rain. I think this was around 15 years ago. It happened in Bielefeld and at least in the "Regierungsbezirk Detmold", perhaps even in the whole of Northrhine-Westfalia.

            Before I forget it: Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag Tuxette. (That was German for "Happy Birthday Tuxette.")
    • Where I grew up (in Michigan), my school district never got snow days. We'd listen to the news in the morning and they'd read off a list of all the schools that were closed, and my district was never on that list.

      And I had to walk to school too ;-)

  • ... Happy Birthday to you :)
  • :)

    I hope you feel better enough to go do something later though! Or not, you know, if you don't want to. Hope you got the lots of presents you were expecting. ;) :)
  • And may the weather take a turn for the better (as far as penguins are concerned, that is). :^)
  • never ask what else can go wrong. Let me recount things that have happened on some of MY birthdays: broken knee and torn ACL in motorcycle accident, car accident that caused me to miss the boat that we were having a college formal on, dumped by a girlfriend, fight with fiancee. Yeah, this year I'm locking myself in my room and turning off my cell phone.
  • I was going to get you a penguin [penguinwarehouse.com], but I wasn't sure if they'd deliver to you.

    Hope you get over the cold, fast!
    • I wasn't sure if they'd deliver to you

      They would try, but the penguin would most likely get confiscated at the border and sent back to Antarctica. They're cracking down on illegal immigration here you know...
