I had such a happy and good day - despite a moment of me being excessively grumpy towards my husband (which I've since apologized for).
My day started with a sweet email from a lady I work with. It was very out of the blue, but basically the email was to tell me why she enjoys working with me and said very kind things about my personality. It made my heart melt, as I really like and respect her.
Later in the day I had a sudden realization that now it is December! So I turned on the radio to the Christmas music station. There is nothing like dancing around the living room with my cat, singing along to George Michael's "Last Christmas". I should have put my red Santa hat on.
Finally I ended my day with this Christmas countdown calendar. My husband purchased my favourite specialty chocolates to fill the calendar with, so I enjoyed my first one this evening.
Now I am officially feeling festive. I think this weekend I will decorate.
Hmmm.....I think I want a chocolate-bearing husband too! ..but how do you not just eat them all the first day? I'm not sure I could resist!
Cute pic, BTW!
@tabbycat lol well, i do have to admit a secret... he bought me a few extra in a little bag knowing I may want more than one some days :D yes. i do like chocolate, lol
what a lovely day.
grumpy happens sometimes to everyone, good things we can say sorry and move on.
the calendar of chocolate seems like a great idea.
enjoy
Awe I luv your calendar Lauren! It is so cute and your focus is great! What r your fav chocolates?! That was SO nice of that lady to write such nice things about you!! I bet you are fun to work with :)
those calendars are so much fun and you did a fantastic shot of yours. glad your day got better and better. your husband sounds like such a wonderful guy. have a great day, lauren.
Fun pic, Lauren! Good job you apologised else he might have taken all the chocolate away!
What a super email to get. I'm not surprised you're well thought of but it's a wonderful feeling when you're recognised. Be happy!
Great photo Lauren . . you really got me with the "dancing around the living room with the cat!" I can picture it so well, because that's what I used to do with our cat. Made me smile! :)
@laurentye i have never had that brand before and i dont even know if i have seen them around or not. Can you buy them anywhere or only from certain stores? i just googled it, haha, and nothing looks familiar. Mmmmm, chocolate. I wonder if 9:45am is to early for chocolate?? lol.
@kdimagery you can only get them from their specialty chocolate shops and there are only a few shops. if you are ever in Banff they have one there. also calgary and edmonton. and no 945am is NOT too early. well i hope not, cause i ate todays advent chocolate at 1015 when i woke up :) haha
@laurentye hahaha!! you ate yours at 10:15, that is funny. i never did end up having a chocolate after all. Ya i figured they must be found in special stores bc i have never seen them before. If they are that hard to come by then i imagine they are amazing chocolates!
Cute pic, BTW!
