Keeping up with the Joneses...(see the icon)

[matilda36]

Been a bit busy these last few days, with Christmas coming and other things.

1. Boring things: I deep cleaned the house, wrote Xmas cards, bought Xmas presents.

2. New things:
-I started taking driving lessons. I already have a driving license, but I haven't been driving for 5 years, so I thought I needed a refresher. I am quite enjoying it.

-I have also nearly decided what i want to do when I grow up, but i'll let the plan stew in my brain until the new year, to be on the safe side.
- I am learning to make icons.

3. Sad things: offered a shoulder to cry on to a couple of friend with problems with their men. The good news is that this makes going to bed with an hot water bottle and Narnia even more appealing than usual, the bad news is that my friends hurt, and i do not like that.

4. Happy things:
- The family on the 5th floor are moving, taking with them the little girl that has not slept one night in the last 2 years. I was getting ready to sick the chidren services on them.

- My pictures of the tibetan monks making the mandala are good and if somebody is interested they will be in my scrapbook as soon as jape makes a tutorial on that.;)

- japeweird creating jape_answers

- sexymermaid updates of Manservant, The wild man (I so do fancy some cheese now...) and interesting discussions at darker_spike

- Sylum and it's madness

- bjjones Storm Horizon, that I just finished, thoroughly enjoyed and looking forward to the next bits.



My copy of Empire Records has finally arrived. And I am going to watch it now.
