I downloaded the book, "Happiness Trap"... what I have read so far is quite good, it goes into things like our thoughts, and how to deal with them, also addictions, whether it be alcahol, overeating, smoking etc..wont say anymore, don't want to spoil it for any of you that want to read it...

Terrible news about tornado hit Auckland, hope your okay Missy....

it is weird Lilly - Wellington (where I am) is supposed to be the riskiest part of the country to live in. But I have lived here most of my life and have not experienced any major acts of god. Meanwhile my friends in Christchurch are still coping with the aftermath of earthquakes, and my friends in Auckland regularly put up with major weather events like the tornado today.

My first concern was with some young women that I am mentoring who work up big electricity transmission towers (as in 60 - 80m off the ground). But I checked and thank goodness they had a health and safety day at HO today and are safe and sound.

Thats good it has'nt affected you Misssy.. and that the young women is safe and sound... but such a shame that Christchurch and Auckland are having such major weather events...

We're all safe and sound here Lil. Cats inside and purring; Mr B in bed and snoring. I think I could get used to having the bed to myself while he works nights

Just a tiny whinge before I go...

Does anyone have a someone in their life who tells you in minutest detail the ins and out of their running around and their families and how wonderfully successful said running around life is for - like twenty or thirty minutes mostly more, then - pause - "and how about your lot, what are they up to?"
and you just say ummm, nothing much...

Sydney for Christmas, here we come...

I like to avoid people who are highly successful, it just makes me feel totally inadequate :H

If it helps at all Nicey, I can tell you all about how the wheels have fallen off in our house with Mr B working nights this week. His boy finishes school tomorrow, and we have to drive north to pick him up, and I'm going to have to drive both ways as Mr B will need to sleep, and I'm dreading it. But I will get a bit of a sleep in which will be nice

Not really even sure if it is as highly successful as it sounds Missy :H I remembered Tawnys joke from the other month while I was walking....will be saying Isnt that precious instead of Who gives a f...yes, thats the plan.

Will you have Mr B's boy for Christmas Missy or just for some weeks in the holidays?

Yep. I know this to be true. Though sometimes it can be a bit of a challenge to see the forest for the trees.

How're you going Techie?

Recharge those batteries Missy!

Hi everyone. I'm in New York and just came back from Long Beach Island. Thank dog I was able to sleep on the plane. My mom Alice wanted to take the drive. OMG, I had NO idea how bad things were here. The block we had our home on is now just a big huge expanse of beach. The entire topography of the island has changed.

In other news, my mother-in-law (ex) Ginny will be waked on Sunday, and the funeral will be Monday. I was so very happy she was able to spend a few days with my mom here at the house. She suffered from late stage ovarian cancer and we had her released from hospice to visit. She fractured her arm getting out of a wheelchair while with us. We called 911 and she was x-ray'd at a nearby hospital and transferred back to hospice in Scottsdale. She passed away a few days later. I think the pain and realization that the cancer spread to her bones caused her to give up.

We have contacted Don Mclean to come and sing at the service. Ginny was one of his professors at Iona College in New Rochelle so many years ago. He was always keep in touch with her,

I'll try and get a pic at the beautiful x-mas tree in Rockefeller Center before I return.

I love you all :h

Yum. What time shall we come over? And hope you have the pav in the oven by now :H

Techie - my thoughts are with you. But it is great that you and your mother got to spend some time with her before she passed on. When I look back on the time that I spent with special people in my life before they died, it has always been very poignant. You and your family have been through so much over the past wee while - please make sure that you get some time to relax over the next few weeks. And I'll look forward to that picture of the Rockefeller Centre Xmas tree!!

That reminds me - 11 years since my dad died next Monday. I never remember him without feeling a smile on my face and a little glow in my heart :h

We officially have Mr B's boy for the first half of the holidays, and his mother the second half. That was partly because she was living in another part of the country. However, it has become clear that she has moved back to Wellington - we suspected this some time back, but it was confirmed from the horses mouth at his daughter's wedding a couple of weeks ago. And totally amazingly and suddenly, after seven years of what has pretty much been legal warfare, Mr B's ex has been ringing him to discuss issues about their kids. I dont know what has happened, but very much hope that it continues to be amicable. Both Mr B and his ex will both be working right through Xmas, so the discussions that have been had pretty much involve unprecedented levels of cooperation around which parent is available. Mr B is working morning shift on Xmas Day so boy will have lunch with his mother and sister and his sister's new hubbie (and I'll have lunch with my mother and sister and all her kids and grandkids) and then Mr B boy and I will have our own celebration at home in the evening. It will be the first time that we have all had a chance to have Xmas together on the actual day ever, so it will be pretty special. I think we will pass on lots of food and concentrate on doing stuff that makes us happy together. That will probably involve really bad jokes and even worse K-pop.

Happy, what are your Xmas plans for Sydney??

And what plans for other undies?
