Pfff..........

Well.

Still no ring. Olivier is growing impatient. :)

I had an ex of mine trying to woo me with his "pity me" techniques. They don't work, but hey, he used to be a nice guy before he turned out to be a total douche, so I talk to him.

Sometimes his talks about how he liked my ass or my skin bother me, but I just make fun of him to compensate.

It's only fair.

So I'm getting a raise. Just not what I asked for. I get a shitty raise, but hey, it's still better than no raise at all... my boss's arguments were just a bit too shabby to be believable, but oh well.............

Trop bon, trop con.

I have no idea what else to write.. I was fuming just a few hours ago because of my salary, but I'm kinda over it.. now I'm just plain tired... I'd need to show some drawings to people but no one is online... blaah............

So the okonomiyaki was deceiving and there is no ring.

We tried looking for one, but it's really hard finding one. Oliv doesn't want to risk buying something I won't wear and I don't want to wear something I don't like.

Every one I find lovely behind the glass transforms into something else once on my finger..

Oh. Why the ring ?

We are getting PACSed ! It's a civil union, not quite like a marriage but more than an engagement.

Needs paperwork and all.

Mom was more than thrilled :D

We've only told our parents and family, just a very few friends. Nothing to hide, but nothing to declare either.

And I don't need a ring. But he wants to get me one. Hoh.

I think we'll end up with Take away :D

So okonomiyaki was very deceiving. First of all it was a veeeeery long wait. Then the food didn't come at the same time. And it wasn't very good... well, not at the level of Aki, the other restaurant to make okonomiyakis.

It really was nice once it was over..

I'm super excited, I have a friend coming over for a long weekend !

I'm sooooooo happy !! Haven't seen her for such a long time... AH ! :D

She'll be staying at our place from Friday till Sunday. Sooooo happy :)

Well that's about all there is to tell..

Oh! I got to eavesdrop on a Skype DnD. It was pretty fun :D

So, we meet again.

I am so waaaay behind my blog updating schedule...

GAH.

So first of all, Happy New Year 2012 everybody !

We have like 350 days left until the end of the world. Enjoy.

So We went to spend Christmas in Finland this year, me not having spent it with my family since 2005, I really, really was in need of it.

Last year, it started snowing in late October and they still had snow last April. The temperatures dropped to -25 in Helsinki, more up in the North, so we were pretty excited to experience that together.

Now, picture Finland, the land of Santa Claus, covered in whitest snow, it's dark, just the street lights are on. Nothing moves, except the slowly falling snowflakes.. it's incredibly calm and peaceful..The magical Christmas you see in postcards..

We had zero snow, but rain and a huge storm.

We were supposed to go on a cruise, impossible with the storm.

We were supposed to go see the beauty of snow, impossible without snow.

We were supposed to go on a mini cruise to Tallinn with dad, impossible with the storm.

So we stayed at my mom's and completed sudokus.

Great.

At least I got to be with my family and eat good food :D Too much of it actually. Mom kept feeding us alllll the time. You'd think she saw us as hungry African children.

I don't know how many kilos I managed to harvest in that week, but I think I did a good job of it. The chocos disappeared very easily.....

Since we were dying to do something other than sudokus, I decided that we needed to go on that mini Tallinn cruise, with or without daddy. So we took to boat at 9.30pm, slept not very comfortably and arrived in Tallinn at 7am the following day. It was raining, windy and of course nothing is open at 7am. At least, nothing we knew of.

And New Year's I wasn't feeling very well so I spend it alone, watching a funny French sketch show :) I really didn't mind. Olivier spend it with his friends and I was happy he did.

Work has been ok. I've talked with my boss about my foot operation and September it is.

The wind is blowing pretty intensely here, another storm, yay.

For my birthday, we are going to go eat okonomiyakis with friends. They are sooooo gooood...

And Olivier wants to take me out tomorrow. hoho.

And he wants to go shopping for a birthday gift.

A ring.

To be continued.... :D
