new vocabulary

Almost ready to prepare my bag for holls, I feel too happy to worry about any matter that is not really urgent.
So, even if my phone keeps ringing, my friends keep calling me, my work is finished on time, but my boss just wants to talk to me, I began to say a great word I learnt during the past year: NO! (believe me when I say that sometimes this word is more than necessary).
For instance, what if my crystal glasses are stored in a box in a furniture (after moving in)? My mother had to accept that I won't put those glasses on shelves until I come back.
But, if you feel a little bit guilty as I do after saying no to her (she's a wonderful caring person), what would you give her as a present (that you could bring back from your holls?)...
If you happen to see the IT guy, could you please let him know that my PC needs a new memory, so I can still have the back-up I requested him a month ago? (Of course I said NO when I was too busy working at that moment when he was free). By the way, I don't feel guilty about that. Now, I feel it's necessary to say yes.

wishes from Ushuaia to Spain

Just a quick note:
Thanks to each and all of you for your wishes for my birthday.
I'm a year older, but happier and wiser.
Pity that some of you couldn't try my birthday cake!

happiest than ever

Remember that in my last post I decided to count on a caterer for my party? No, I didn't change my mind. But as the weather is quite bereable at this moment, I decided to go to the kitchen and do something for my day. I'll be 34 in a day and I don't want to spend it cooking.
So, taking into account that I should be very happy at this time of the year, though what I really feel is that I'm tired-super-tired, tomorrow I'll be pampering myself: it'll be a spa day! (my birthday party will take place on Sunday, no need to worry about laying the table tomorrow).
There are two thoughts at the back of my (sick) mind: a) Either the spa will make me feel renewed or b) I'll be sleeping like a baby in no time at all. Let's hope I won't snore (zzzzz) while the masseuse is doing her best. Ok, I should paraphrase: let's hope I won't snore (like an old bat!) at all. Nobody has ever complained about it, if you really really needed to know.

almost 34 and a week away

I'm sorry I couldn't post during the last ten days, but I've been preparing myself for my birthday and holidays (besides I've been taking care of those final details at home after moving in, sightseeing with my friends coming from the North, working a lot, plenty of stuff has been done!) .
Concerning my birthday, for the first time in my life, I've decided not to pay attention to home made meals, and count on a caterer. In regards to my holls, this is the place where I'll be scubadiving, oh yeah.
As you can see, some changes were made. Of course, some of them are pretty shallow, but some others are more profound... The thing is that I realize that this year has to be different to the past one (may be it's the hot weather -it felt like 44 centigrades or 111 Farenheit yesterday- that is changing my brain cells). Am I turning into a spiritual being? (I'm sure I'm just melting down).
