Almost all tickets bought

(some of you might know I'm nuts about moose and reindeer decorations... here is Christmas reindeer from Angi!)


We had incredible luck tonight. It is now 2 months since I've been pressing H to buy his Christmas plane tickets. We'll be spending it at my father's this year, and 12 days together after a whole week in Switzerland just two weeks before, so I can't say enough how delighted I am. The luck, you'll ask? It's that plane tickets prices have been going up gradually, after all Christmas is in a little bit more than a month away now and I wasn't that happy with my stubborn partner who likes to delay everything till the last moment... We're a great couple, me who likes to plan everything *very* long in advance and H who hates it LOL! Anyway, we were planning to finally decide on the dates for Christmas today and while he was on his way home, I checked the airline's website and what do I see? Several days had prices several times lower than even last month! I called H, made him run home and tickets were bought, for 1/3 of the price!! The flight from Oslo to Warsaw cost 297 NOKs, while just an hour later it cost 1297!!! Delighted, delighted I am, I tell you... So, we get to spend almost 3 weeks together in total between end of November and end of December. Yooopla! I've been checking tickets prices every day the last month, sometimes several times per day, so I really don't know why this ONE cheap ticket was released... Of course, he will now use it against me forever, he's already joking that if we had bought the tickets yesterday as planned, he would have payed a fortune more than today! LOL

Stitching - I received a small order from 123stitch.com with [...] to finish my PS exchange for Suzanne. At least that's what I am planning, tomorrow I'll see it my idea can be brought to life. If it can, it is certainly a miniature challenge :)

I finished two more blocks of the Spring Thaw afghan for H. Only 8 more to go within two weeks (sigh). I hate speed-stitching. I've put the FAS away. I just don't like working on it at all. Too bad there was no chance to make it in time for his b-day or Christmas, but the LNS send it only :( 2 months after my order, and sent it to the wrong adress, meaning I got it end of September. Oh well, he'll get it one day. No need to hurry anymore.

H's 50th birthday was yesterday... we celebrated it over the phone, there will be plenty of time in Switzerland for more romantic moments, especially since on Dec. 03, we'll also celebrate 10 years of being together! :) To me, this is a magical date...

Off to stitch a little bit and head to bed... night night everyone!
