So I come back from Greg’s work Christmas party…a little inebriated let’s just say. I sit around for 2 hours before I go to bed, make a nice plate of chips and beans, watch multiple Coronation Streets, take off my jewelry and make myself comfortable. Next morning, I can find all my jewelry except my good diamond earrings. All week I search the house for them, but to no avail. I’m afraid to hoover the house in case I accidentally hoover them up – after spring cleaning all drawers and their usual “homes”, I start to get worried. I’ve been telling my friend Prasadi about this and she’s suggesting places I could have left them (including the fridge??)
Fast forward a week or so and we have a small get-together with a few friends. I’m showing them the Christmas tree, and the cute nativity scene that Greg’s father built for us last Christmas. Prasadi (not really appreciating the serenity and beauty of the nativity scene) eyes something sparkly in the manager with baby Jesus. Low and behold – it’s my diamond earrings!!! After much joyful screaming and jumping, we’re trying to work out what my state of mind was on the night in question that I decided to offer my earrings as a gift to the baby Jesus! Gold, frankincense myrrh…. And diamonds!
it's been a long time since I blogged... let's play catch-up...
- At home on a "bad weather day" - strong winds last night caused power to be out across a lot of the area. Campus is completely closed in work today so we're at home (yay). I feel better about staying at home since the last day when work was closed myself and hubby stupidly went in anyway. So I feel I am well deserving of a day off :-)
- Went to San Fran to visit Eilish a few weeks ago. San Fran is nice and warm, everyone seems to run marathons or triathlons and everyone has dogs. Weird place ....:-)
- Went to NY to visit Jude last weekend. Ended up in some crazy club with hot tubs and beautiful people... followed by a late bar... next day was not so enjoyable as you can guess.
- Going home next week for about 10 days for Christmas. Will be nice to be home without any wedding arrangements to make! Coming back here for the New Year...still working on what the plan will be for that night.
- Maybe I'll make a new year’s resolution to blog more in 2007...
Bye
