Walker

Here's something on the internet my little boy apprecietes. We just peeled an orange.

I might have bragged that I am taking part in 10 km's run for women. I am a woman, so that part of it is nothing particular. But, when I signed up for the run in Janury I had a vision in my mind about how I'll be jogging regularly, the whole spring, few times per week and will be in a good condition in May when the run is taking place. I haven't jogged and the run is tomorrow. I am doomed. Fortunately there is a start for walkers too.

Party Season

Thanks to the thesis panic I will miss a wedding party in Holland. I was very eager to go there and was also looking forward to see my friends from Japan (both the couple and guests). After few days of planning I realized that I was on a thesis denial, if I'd gone to the party, my thesis would have suffered and that would have been a bad choice: finishing the studies is the top-priority mission in my life at the moment. So, I had to make this choice. I hope you guys have a fantastic party next weekend in Holland!!!

This is a busy party season. Quite a many of my friends and family celebrate their birthdays this week. I wish you all happy birthday: the higher the number of years it is, the wilder the party should be! Cheers!

What?

Days are getting warmer and longer. Summer is coming. That means the dead line for my thesis is also very close. Let me tell you: I am stressed.

The kid has glue ears. That's what he got after the infection in both ears. He doesn't hear that much. But nothing to worry about. We wait and see a doctor in two weeks. In the meanwhile the kid keeps repeatting "What?" after any noice he thinks he heard.

A baby was born in Oulu (far away in the norther parts of Finland). I think I might go there to see the baby once the dead line is behind me. I might take the glue eared kid with me.

Sunny Days Are for Writing

It's a sunny sunday. M and the kid went to see friends. I am supposed to write effectively my thesis while they are gone - not the whole thing though. My plan is to go through references for the chapter I am most unwilling to look at and that will make my last minutes future working much easier to do.

Last weekend I was in Sweden and I managed to sing karaoke. I did much else too, but karaoke always seems to be the most important of all activities.

Oh god - I better start working, so I won't think how much there is left to write and get panicked.

6 words

Ooh Tim, what you gave to me? This one is difficult. I am tagged to describe my life in six words.

May the force be with me.

I guess that's it.

Of course I am maying the force be with you too.

I am tagging Elspeth, Joy, Nina, and lovely Sunny.

Antibiotics and Bob are in the house

Yesterday I took V to a doctor. He had slept restlessly two nights in row and had a fever. The kid has an ear infection in both his ears and the doctor ordered him antibiotics. I didn't realize how sick he actually was - he was so damn genki (means about healthy or energetic) in spite of the pain.

Now I am at home with the kid again. He is watching the ever so entertaining "Bob the Builder". I have good intentions to let my alter ego "the cleaner lady" arrive here today; I can't write my thesis with the kid jumping around and one has to do some cleaning sometimes anyway.

A Short Report From A Couch Potato

We started to watch Pushing Daisies. We have seen two episodes so far and there are several things in that lovely and silly series I like: cheese, knitting and dogs - among other things. I am looking forward to see more.
