<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It's monday today - can you tell by looking at my kitchen?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;"><i>I promise I didn't eat all those pizzas by myself!</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It took me more than 1 cup of coffee to get me going this morning,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">but I successfully dragged myself out of bed before noon.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I got up at 9! Believe it or not.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It was tough, let me tell you!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">BUT, and I'm very proud of this, I may only have been up for about 4 hours,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">but I've already cleaned the kitchen, done <i style="font-size: small;">almost all of</i> the dishes,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">cleaned up the livingroom, dusted off a couple of shelves,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and I've had both breakfast <i>AND</i> lunch!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Whew!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This is why I'll be spending the rest of the afternoon on the couch.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Happy monday everyone. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Is it just me, or does January seem to be absolutely endless?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'm not supposed to care, I know, since I'm on break,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">but it's like I feel a little lost.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have no clue what to do with all this time on my hands.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I mostly just sleep in and watch tv,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">which is not at all how I imagined I would be spending my break.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I thought I'd be reading novels, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">baking lots,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">crocheting new things,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">doing lots of DIYs.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I only have a week left,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and from now on I will strive to make the most of my break.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Although I'll probably still sleep in and watch too much tv.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I did get a little project checked off my list today.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I've been looking for a way to organize my long necklaces for </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">quite a while,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and yesterday I found the perfect way.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Today, hubs drilled a couple of holes in the wall,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">et voilá.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">People have called me weird because of this, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">but I absolutely love wrapping presents. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I actually spent <i>hours</i> wrapping and re-wrapping presents this past Christmas.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I realize some <i>(most)</i> people don't really appreciate the wrapping,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">as it's the thing inside that's got them all excited,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">but I love giving people presents that are creatively wrapped.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Even if it's taken me several tries to get the wrapping just right, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and they tear it open in mere seconds,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">it's still fulfilling to me.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I think the thing that fascinates me is how simple it is to make it beautiful.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">You don't need to add all sorts of frills and decorations,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">just a little creative thought.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Brown paper, mason string from hubby's toolbox, and a stamp.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The beauty is in the simplicity.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Sooo.. the snow is back.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I love snow, I really do.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It's just that we've had 2 weeks of mild weather,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and what felt like spring showers,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and then, suddenly, we're freezing again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Obelix doesn't seem to mind - he loves playing in the snow.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I don't think I mind that much either.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'm going to use it as an excuse to make more Christmas goodies</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and listen to more Christmas music.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Not too shabby.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Have you ever wished that your life was a musical?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">That it was socially acceptable to spontaneously burst into song and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">awkward dancemoves as a response to a question?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I totally wish my life was a musical.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I tried that whole spontaneous song-and-dance-action.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It was not cool.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">When you don't have a band behind you</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">it's just not cool.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It's awkward. Very awkward.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And people laugh.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">But <i>what if</i>?!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Or what if you could at least put a soundtrack to your life?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">For every action, feeling or encounter there would be a specific song playing </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">- wouldn't that be something?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'm sure this will somehow be made possible in the future,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and when it is I'm ready.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I've already started compiling the list of songs I want to accompany my life's situations.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Here's what I've got so far:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Every friday morning, as I get out of bed, I want</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">"Friday I'm in love" with The Cure playing,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">just to remind me that it's friday, and thereby </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">a very good day. A day on which to be in love.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Then later, when hubs asks me how we should spend our friday night,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'll reply with Tina Dickow's (Dico's)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">"Let's go dancing".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">When I get ready to go dancing it'll obviously be to</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">"Out tonight" from RENT,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and then after midnight, when hubs starts to get a little tired,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'll bust out Queen's "Don't stop me now".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It'll be epic.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">In between there'll be plenty of time for Whitney Houston's</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">"I wanna dance with somebody".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">When it's finally time to go home there'll be no buses,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and hubs will be humming</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">"Walking my baby back home" with Nat King Cole.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Saturday morning will be lazy, and perfect for pancakes,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">so Jack Johnson's "Banana pancakes" is perfect here.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We'll sip coffee and lounge on the couch.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hubs will want to tell me how lucky he is to have someone like me,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">who gets up and makes him pancakes,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and will serenade me with Elvis Presley and his</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">"Can't help falling in love". Sweet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">He could also do "I've got you under my skin" by Mr. Sinatra.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Whichever. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I might reply with Ida Maria's</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">"I like you so much better when you're naked",</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">but I also might save that for later.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We'll see.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Then there'll be a beautiful duet of RENT's "I'll cover you".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">All lovey-dovey.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Sunday will be church time and "Beautiful things" by Gungor</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">or Audio Adrenaline's "Hands and feet" are both excellent choices.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Preferably both.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">You see how this works?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Isn't it wonderful? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This is as far as I've gotten - 3 typical days.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I've also come up with just a few extras for special occasions,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">like David Gray's "Sail Away" for a time when I might need to serenade hubs a bit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">When things are tough I'll need Gungor's</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">"Please be my strength"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">followed by Frank Sinatra's</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">"For once in my life".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">A lovely sunshiney, summery day will be accompanied by</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">"Those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer" by Nat King Cole,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and a long day's work will end best with Norah Jones'</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">"The long day is over".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Days of dreaming and hopes for the future will go well with</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">"Dreams" by Brandi Carlile.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">A roadtrip to Copenhagen to see friends will obviously result in</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">"Copenhagen" by Tina Dickow (Dico) being played.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Nat King Cole's "L.O.V.E." is for hubs any day, really.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Finally, when meeting new people and making new friends, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and they ask about me and how me and hubs met I'll have Brandi Carlile's</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">"The story" playing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Which songs would accompany your life?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">When you hear certain songs, what situations in your life do you picture?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I would love to hear how your musical life would look(sound)!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And now, to leave you with one of the beautiful songs of my life, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">enjoy Brandi Carlile for a bit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I had coffee with my brother today.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Nothing fancy, just in my livingroom, with River Cottage on in the background.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We talked awhile about his plans for the future.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I remember being 19.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">How exciting everything was.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">All the possibilities.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Now I'm 24, and life is still exciting.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Yet, sometimes I need to be reminded that life is exciting.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Like this weekend.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Friday was a hard day, but when it was over it was wonderful.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We finished our 40-page report we've been struggling with</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">for the past couple of months.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Saturday I was in bed with a migraine.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have monthly migraines, no biggie, but this one was rough.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I spent <i>all</i> of Saturday in bed.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Usually a couple of pills and a nap cures it.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Not this time.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I thought it might be over by Sunday.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It wasn't.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It got better, but never completely disappeared.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">In the end I got so sick of it I just ignored it.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We had sushi with a friend, and it was wonderful.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Except for the fact that my head was still quietly exploding</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">every now and then.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Surely it would be over by the time I woke up this morning.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It wasn't, not completely.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I still had this numbing pain behind my forehead, </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">but I had to get up.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I had to hand in that report.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So I did.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And now, the migraine is finally gone.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">A weekend spent in bed with a migraine is no fun.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Days like that don't feel exciting.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I start thinking how life isn't fair.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">How it isn't fair that I have to deal with monthly migraines,</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">while others go through life without ever encountering one.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I start complaining, I start having negative thoughts. </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I start to get sick of my life.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I forget that I have many more good, exciting days</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">than I have days with migraines.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Focusing on the negative causes you to forget the positive,</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">although the positive should far outweight the negative.</span></center>
<center>
<br /></center>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have a wonderful, exciting life,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">but sometimes I forget.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I need to be reminded that the bad days don't overpower the good days,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">because they don't.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I would never trade in my life for someone else's, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">not even if it meant being rid of the monthly migraines.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">If this life requires a migraine now and then, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">then that's how it's going to be.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'll take it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So, we moved out the Christmas tree. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It was a bit dry.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">As in, it practically dropped all its pine needles when we took </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">off the decorations.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I was going to write a post about my thoughts on this Christmas,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">but I can't find the words. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This year's Christmas was different somehow,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">but I can't figure out how to explain it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Maybe I'll do a post on it later.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This year our presents weren't all that big,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">since we mostly wished for money so we could buy new furniture</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">for our livingroom. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I searched high and low for pictures of how our livingroom looked before,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">but I couldn't find any.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I know I have some somewhere, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">but they're hiding from me somewhere clever.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Of course we were too eager to take a 'before' picture</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">when putting up the new furniture, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">so now you have to settle for the 'after' pictures.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We love how our livingroom looks now.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Normally our table isn't that fancy, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">but I had my brother, parents, in-laws, uncle+wife, and grandparents</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">over for coffee yesterday, since it's my birthday tomorrow.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I made lots of little cakes, and they turned out great,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">although I was really worried about my gingerbread house.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It was a bit too soft, so it was slowly caving in when we put it together,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">but it held!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Alright, one thing everyone loves at Christmas is receiving presents,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">am I right?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">No? You lie!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">As much as I love receiving presents I also really like getting presents</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">for other people. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">If I was a millionaire I'd be buying presents for others all the time!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Handmade Gift Exchange,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">where you sign up, are assigned to someone somewhere in the world,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and then you make a handmade gift for that person and they make you one.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This is brilliant!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I love making things and I love gifts!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Naturally I had to sign up for the Christmas edition this year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Here is what I made Carol:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">- a crocheted basked</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">- traditional Danish Christmas stars</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">- a watercolor of one of my favorite sayings</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Time for a Christmas-y post after yesterday's depressing rainbow-bruise post.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Although, I do want to give you an update on the rainbow-bruise. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It's now not nearly as rainbow-y, just very black and blue.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And it's spread,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">which sort of creeps me out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The thought of the blood continuing to seep through my arm's tissue.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Maybe tomorrow I'll wake up and my entire arm has gone black,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and then it might just suddenly give up and fall off.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Scary thought.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'll let you know if it happens.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Now,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">lovely, cheery pictures of cake! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Yay, cake.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">WARNING: This post is NOT about Christmas, snow or cake.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">If you're squeamish, look away.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I took an introductory archery class last night.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It was a lot of fun, and I really want to go again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Just one small problem.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Well, it's kinda big actually. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">What is that rainbow colored madness going on on my arm, you ask?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">That would be a bruise.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The largest and most painful bruise I have ever had.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">How did I get it you ask?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Archery class.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Apparently, when I stretch my left arm, my elbow goes down flat,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">thereby sticking out a bit, and gets hit with the bowstring</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">every time I release. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I tried altering my arm, but it didn't work.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">All my good shots were immensely painful. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I didn't whine at the class, though, it was too much fun.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I was just a little surprised when I got home and half my arm</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">was blue and red.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I mean, I knew it hurt, but still.. </span></div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">2 things about this bruise that bums me out:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">1.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I wont be going back to the archery class. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Not sure it's worth that much pain.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">2. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It's a badass bruise, but it wont leave a scar.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">In a week you wont even know it ever happened!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I like scars. Is that weird?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Maybe I'll do a post on scars sometime.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Olympic gold medal I've been eyeing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Any suggestions?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It's december 1st!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">If I could I would be jumping with joy!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">But I can't.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'm sick.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Been on the couch all day.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">If I could I would be getting ready to dance the night away</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">with a friend that came into town.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">But I can't.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Just sitting here on my couch,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">feeling sorry for myself.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Oh well.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Also, for all of you who are friends with me on facebook</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I apologize in advance.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">My status will be all about christmas and cake and snow</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">from now on until january.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Although that's not really too different from the rest of the year. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And now, an abundance of Christmas decoration pictures!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Obelix can sleep anywhere, in any position.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I used to be able to sleep anywhere, in any position,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">but not anymore.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Lately, my body has been acting up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I haven't exactly been good to it staying up all night</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">for both the American presidential election,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and then a couple of days later for my birthday sleepover.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Almost a year ago I had 2-3 weeks where I couldn't sleep.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I couldn't function properly, because I didn't get any sleep at night,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">but no matter how tired I was I just couldn't sleep.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It was because of stress.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">These days it's sort of returning, this whole not-being-able-to-sleep-thing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It's horrible.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'm really tired all day, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">but when I finally get to go to sleep at night I can't.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Yesterday I finally feel asleep almost right away.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I really needed it too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So much that I overslept this morning, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">even though I had a late class.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I take sleep for granted a lot, but sometimes being able to sleep</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">isn't just a necessity - it's a blessing,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and today I'm really thankful that I could sleep last night.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'm a very special type of person.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">What some like to call artistic.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Aka messy and unorganized.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I don't agree with this!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">(the messy and unorganized, not the artistic part)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">My way of organization is just a little different than what is </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">"normal" and acceptable to others. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'm a creative person, which includes organization.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Yes, it's true that I always have at least 5 projects going at once,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">but occassionally I do finish one! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It happens!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">My husband is the complete opposite.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Not that he isn't creative, he's just a very organized form of creative.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">When I feel creative I usually take up half the living room for 3 days,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">until I get bored of the project. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">When he is creative he sits in his seat, drawing and making lists, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">before actually <i>doing</i> anything.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And then he gets it done right away,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">instead of putting it off for months and months.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I find this very strange..</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Our differences are most vivid when you take a look around our apartment.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hubs' way of organizing:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Do I look messy to you?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Trust me, I know exactly what is in which pile. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Over the years I have, however, discovered the advantage of lists</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">because, well, I get caught up in projects and forget to do</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">the important things.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So now, if I have to remember to do something, I always make lists.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">(Plus, I love the satisfaction of checking things off a list!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We're already halfway through November, and it kind of stresses me out,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">so here's my list of the things I have to get done before December:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">- Finish homemade Christmas gifts and buy remaining gift</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">- Finish the gift for the homemade gift exchange (read more here)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">- Take picture for Christmas cards</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">- Write and send Christmas cards</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">- Pass grammar exam (!!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">- Write long overdue letter to a friend currently in the states</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">- Finish Christmas decorations</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'm hoping to check some stuff off soon,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">but we'll just have to wait and see. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It's November!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">NOVEMBER!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This means it's time to get all the Christmas preparations in order!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'm not supposed to actually start decorating for Christmas</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">until the last week of November, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and I won't. I'm just getting everything ready.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Monday is always a little overwhelming for me.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'm always a bit more tired, and it's virtually impossible to get everything done.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Yesterday was exactly that.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">In some ways. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Honestly, yesterday wasn't too bad of a monday. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I got off uni earlier than I thought I would,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and even the 20 minute walk in the pouring rain wasn't that bad, because</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">1. I was wearing boots and a winterjacket, so the only thing getting drenched was my jeans.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">2. the rain drumming on my hood sounded a little like the rain drumming on our tin roof in Nigeria,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and that is one of my favorite sounds in the world.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">3. at one point, where the rain was beating down on my face, I closed my eyes,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">stuck out my tongue and imagined they were little snowflakes instead of raindrops.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So if you saw a girl walking along the sidwalk yesterday with halfclosed eyes</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and tongue sticking out, that was probably me. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Or some other looney. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">But the thing that really made my monday all better was when I got home,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">completely drenched and starting to feel a little cold </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">(and foolish because of the whole tongue thing),</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I was met with hot cocoa, jazz and lit candles.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Having a hubby ain't all bad, I tell you!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">How was your monday?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I consider myself a nice person,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">but I have a nasty side that not many people know about.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It's not an obvious "call-you-bitch-to-your-face"-side,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">but more like a battle in my mind.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Do you remember the cartoons with Donald Duck, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">where he would have an angel on one shoulder</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and a devil on the other,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and they would battle each other?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have that.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">What do they battle about?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Judging others.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Based on what?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Mostly spelling and grammar.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">That's right, I judge people based on how they spell.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">They worst part is that I'm not that great at grammar myself.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I just always notice other people's mistakes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Then after noticing and ridiculing the person in my head</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I get mad at myself for being that way.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">But I can't help it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">That devil on my shoulder is having a field day sometimes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It might go something like this:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><i>Reading an article/folder/ANYTHING with spelling or grammar mistakes.</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Devil: Ha! Who wrote this!? The person must be a moron. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">They can't even tell the difference between "break" and "brake"!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Angel: Hey - be nice! The person could be dyslexic.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Devil: I know dyslexic people, and even they know that one!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Angel: Well, maybe they had a hard time growing up,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and couldn't focus on school work becausey they had an abusive parent.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Devil: They can't ALL be dyslexic or come from abusive backgrounds -</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">look at all these pages with mistakes!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Angel: Maybe english is their second language.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Devil: English is YOUR second language too!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Angel: JUST SHUT UP AND BE NICE!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Devil: Fine.. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Then I spot another mistake and the whole thing repeats itself.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It's quite exhausting.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have this coffee cup with a lovely quote on it.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It says,</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">"The world needs more flowers"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Yup, that's what it says. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">In my perfect world anyway.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Because you know what? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It doesn't say that.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It says,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">"The world need more flowers"</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">When I noticed I almost gave up drinking from that cup ever again. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">They can't even check their grammar before producing the cup nationally?</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">What has this world come to!?</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">My devil had a real good time when that happened.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Then I figured,</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">heck, it's just a cup.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Nobody's perfect.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I guess coffee cups aren't either.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'm seeing a friend tonight who just moved to a new apartment. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I wanted to bring her a little something, but I'm totally broke,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">so I had to make use of stuff I already had.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The weather this past week has been rain, rain, oh, and a little more rain,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">so I thought it would be nice to reminisce about those summer days,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and what better way than to enjoy a little pink lemonade</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and pretend the sun is shining outside? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I don't really have a recipe, I just kind of taste it along the way,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">but for just over a liter I use about 1 cup of lemon juice,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">1 cup granulated sugar and 4-5 cups of water, depending on how strong I want it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Add a touch of grenadine or some other red syrup for the pink color,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">et voilá!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">with the dining table where the couch and tv are now, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">but even though it's been almost 6 months sinced we switched it around</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Today has been filled with negative energy! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Mostly my own fault, but when my day starts at 6:30 am, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">then I find it hard to be positive.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This may not be early for some of you,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">but for me it kills.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Every single morning. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It's not like anything majorly terrible happened, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">just lots of little things to irritate me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Like the fact that the bus was 7 minutes late.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I mean, 7 minutes is enough to time to brush my teeth,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">put on makeup and pack my bag. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I could have slept 7 minutes longer! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">That just annoys me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And then, when on the bus, I saw the sunrise.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">A sunrise is genuinely one of the most beautiful things ever,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">but witnessing one always creates a tug-o'-war in my mind,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">between how beautiful it is</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and how it's way too early to be awake when the sun isn't even up yet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And then I spent my 2 first 15-minute breaks trying to call the doctor's office,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">which was virtually impossible.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And that just annoys the crap out of me every time I have to call them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So then I figured, this would be a good day to focus on the positive,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and be <i>thankful</i>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So here goes, things to be thankful for..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">1.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> I spent all saturday celebrating my daddy's 45th birthday.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Lots of cake, good food, and lovely company.</span></div>
<center>
<a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/110310317688504507285/TruntesPalads?authkey=Gv1sRgCMuivNf9koudvwE#5797993546872936098"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCNv_9aLP3XJ_u-1NuDtb7PJKA2QIw2Qiyz522QSeSpRrPOV5XCKsVHAZJxUXLIY6TexR2FQ-c74oi-7nsA5lN_M5GiUN8P115nOnbUfZF054SwRMjUKqdh9IBb3Uu8uwRzbupimIxJD9i/s640/74.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="478" /></a></center>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This weekend we will be celebrating hubby's daddy's 50th birthday,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">both friday night and sunday,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">which means even more cake, good food and lovely company.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><i>(Of course, company comes before the food, even though they're</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><i>listed the other way around. Well..</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><i>Who am I kidding, the cake means as much as the company!)</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">3. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I got to spend an afternoon and evening hanging out with my brother,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and some seriously delicious coffe and cake. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And obviously, cake is always a plus.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><i>(Said brother is now in Prague, and he better bring me something!</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><i>A piece of cake will suffice..)</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Speaking of coffee, I am sooo thankful I have a husband who takes the time</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">to make me coffee every morning, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">even when he doesn't make any for himself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It makes my day!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Speaking of hubs, he bought me some christmas chocolate the other evening,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">when I had a migraine and spent the whole day/evening in bed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It totally cheered me up, and even made my migraine better!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><i>(Or so I like to think.)</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">6. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Speaking of migraine, it's finally gone! It pestered me tuesday,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">all the way through wednesday, and finally left me alone</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">wednesday evening. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">7. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I also finally suceeded in getting through to the doctor's office,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">so now maybe something can be done about this horrible migraine </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">that comes to visit once or twice every month.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
