Nothing's happened, so nothing really to report.
Today was a nice day at work. Time flew by as I oriental waxed and tattooed my way through a 9½ hour day. I was pleased with the eyebrows of a client of mine that I had managed to render more appealing to her taste. A tip is always appreciated when you know you've done something worth getting it.
Talking about tips, I emptied my tip jar* and counted a sum worth the two figurines I recently bought. It made me less guilty for buying them :D
*I keep a small powdered mauve colored safe shaped Barbapapa money bank in my locker at work where I drop all my tips at the end of the day. I only empty it when we're in desperate need of change at the caisse. It's not unusual for my superior to often ask me for change)
So I bought another Nightmare Before Christmas figurine on eBay. If this continues the way it's headed, tips or no tips, I'll soon end up penniless. There're still a few that keep on tempting me...... gaaaah !
Bizarrely enough, my brother offered to pay half of Oogie. I guess he liked the presents I got him (Jedi bath robe + Ducktrooper = bath duckie dressed up like a Stormtrooper) :)
I just wish it won't break because of the shipping.. y_y
The latest figurine I bought is another Jack. A different one. I lovely one. :)
I hope I can trust the vendeur, he had received some pretty negative feedback.. but 95% was positive. That's really all I can do. Trust. :/
I talked with Anja on Skype. Aah Skype is good.. more of my friends' should have Skype. It was really nice to hear from her after a small while. I had received her Christmas card not long ago, I hung it on the fridge.
Meh... I wish I could see her as often as I did when we were still working at Disney.. y_y
She seems motivated about school and work, chapeau to her !
Motivation is not the word I'd use to describe that something that forced me through 3 years of painfully boring studies - I'd rather use the word Sisu.
I still have tomorrow before my 3-day vacation ! Olivier's asked me to make him perunalaatikko on Saturday once we've come home for his parents' place..I think I'll make some rosolli too. But other than that, we're not going to be cooking anything special..I can't eat all that one should on Christmas, Olivier sure as hell won't start cooking anything, so it's just spending quality time with him. :)
Hope I won't get too bored.. that tends to happen when there's nothing to do and you can only do nothing in the presence of your darling. Yeah, I'm a real romantic.

I have skype! I'm just not on all that often... sowyy.
What is perunalaatikko? It has too many vowels and I can't even begin to pronounce it, so I'm going to assume it is something Finnish.
Sometimes lounging around, eating, and doing nothing is the best! Enjoy!
Perunalaatikko is a traditional dish prepared only during Christmas. It's kind of like sweet mashed potatoes. :) You prepare it in the oven with the other 2 dishes.
