Happy New Year’s

Because unfortunately I’m still sick, I’ll be at home at midnight, but I did have a lovely evening with friends, sharing fondue and lots of laughter. As you can see. *g*

Great timing, as usual

I’m afraid I’m getting sick again - just in time for New Year’s. I’m not feeling too bad yet, but I’m running a temperature, am coughing and feeling generally a bit under the weather. Not quite sure yet how to deal with this weekend, as I’ve got nice plans with some friends in addition to having to go to work tomorrow morning and Sunday afternoon. Blech.

Snow!

I’m not quite sure why I get so excited every time the white stuff comes down - probably something to do with happy childhood memories of building igloos and riding sleighs down the only hill in the vicinity… (I lived in Northern Germany, in Neumünster, until I was seven, and I remember a lot of snow, while here in Basel it rarely really snows.)

In any case, even when it means that the sky is grey and it gets dark at 3pm (like now), I can’t help but be all bubbly and excited about it.

Oh, and before the holidays are completely in the past - here are some photos I took, if you’re interested:

Merry Christmas

Have been completely wrapped up in the season - Christmas is still my favorite time of year… Our traditional family celebration last night was wonderful as always, a beautiful, peaceful family celebration, and I wish all of you (well, those that celebrate the season in any shape or form) a truly merry holiday!

Why meeee? :)

I’m sick again. Same as two weeks ago - fever and general ickiness. Now my mom wants me to go to the doctor, to find out why my immune system is doing such a crappy job. What fun…

Anyway, more cheerful news - realized that I hadn’t shared the photos of my refurbished room yet. It’s just as cramped as before (too much stuff!), but it seems bigger for some reason. And I really like the yellow carpet.

Christmas layout2

Decided that I needed a holiday theme for this site. There are surprisingly few WP themes around - I would have thought a lot of people would want to spruce up their blog. The only site I found was V4NY, who luckily offer five cute options. *pets the puppies*

Rooms and holidays

Back in my room, which now looks as cozy as ever. Still have to hang pictures (although wallspace is scarce - too many books! *g*) and put up my CD racks, but other than that is’s all done. Walls were painted, a new carpet (in light yellow) was bought and all the furniture and things carried back in and re-arranged to improve studying conditions. Yesterday especially was exhausting, so now I’m really glad to have it behind me.

And right in time, too: A happy beginning of December to everyone that celebrates Christmas! Christmas is my favorite time of year and I’m very excited that it’s now officially begun - last Sunday was the first day of Advent, and now it’s December. My mom gave me the traditional Advent calendar (in the form of a cute postcard) and I opened the first door this morning.

I also found a Finnish Advent calendar online - very cute!

Edited to add: I’ve not forgotten.
