A Day In The Life Of

Today, I woke up from the brightness of the sun shining on my bed and after getting up, I had a copious breakfast with Thais. It only consisted of a bowl of cereal, but hey, let's jazz this story up. I opened my 10th handkerchief package; I guess that makes me officially ill now - and nose irritated too! I laughed so hard at lunch time that I wet myself...mhmm - comfy feeling, I promise you. I also went to see Million Dollar Baby, it was such a humbling movie. And the more I think about it, the more I find good things about it. I went to McDonalds for dinner! Shock, horror! You can tell I haven't watched SuperSize Me yet... I hadn't had set foot in a McDonalds in AGES...ever since Claire and I decided to take a chance on the "McWin" menus one summer day of our youth, in the hope of winning the promoted 1000 Swiss francs - as if that was going to happen ... we won instructions for making paper planes and a free drink instead, woot! I walked all the grease off by taking a long walk in the surrounding countryside with my sister though, I am healthy once again. The farm-y cow poop smells brought us back to the good old scout days when we'd dwell in those smells for two weeks straight, during our camps. The stars shone with God's glory in the dark springtime sky. We remembered our worst embarrassing moments. Among all the embarrassing moments I could remember, one stood out in particular. My neighbours have a son which I happened to find rather attractive. So one night, when he was paying a visit to his parents (my neighbours), I had the brilliant idea of taking a picture of him, incognito. He was sitting at his desk and I had a perfect view from my bathroom window, so (oh my goodness, I cannot believe I ACTUALLY did that!) I went to get my camera, set it on "night mode", walked out on the balcony, hid -or thought I did- in the shadows of the night and clicked to take a picture. Of course, having set my camera on night mode, a bright light shone for roughly 5 seconds and then the flash went off. The combination of both the bright light and the flash were quick to get my target's attention and I just stood there, frozen, unable to move. Some seconds later my brain got the message and I stepped back into the shadows and crawled into the bathroom feeling most foolish. Next thing I knew his curtains were pulled shut and it took me a few months before I was no longer embarrassed to walk out of my house. To this day, I am still wishfully hoping that he thought it was my sister...just because I'm nice like that. I was younger at the time, but still, this definitely tops it all off!!

Tomorrow holds many more good things, notably that I must rise at the ungodly hour of 7, so I must end this beautiful day and wish you all a marvellous night's sleep. Ta!
