Glad that you can see a glimmer of Christmas in your February snow! :rabstar: I did see some beautiful red cardinals visit my birdfeeders. They always remind me of Christmas! :feedbird: joyelf

Back home from a fun weekend with friends. They just bought their first house!!! I am very excited for them. It is beautiful!! They have a lot of room to decorate!! I am glad to be home though. Every time we come home, the cat is always so happy to see us...it is like it's Christmas everytime we come home!!!

I have been sick all day with no end in sight. Sick day from work tomorrow. Hopefully some Christmas Carols will help. Happy Valentine's Day to all!

Job interview next Monday with the International English School for a secretarial position. Please pray for a good interview! If I get the job it will be like Christmas in February (or March). Happy belated Valentine's Day! Check out A Valentine Carol, a cute movie, by Lifetime Movie Network if you can.

I hope that you have an excellent interview! They would be lucky to have you! I took an aptitude test yesterday for a job I have applied for. Hoping for an early Christmas present (I will be good the rest of the year). :D

I bought a Christmas gift for my best friends son today. A build your own model race car kit. It was on clearance so that made it even better. :shop:

I've already bought several things for Christmas so I need to start a new Christmas notebook so I can keep track of everything. :smilecc:

These last 2 years I have used an app on my iPhone that keeps track of gifts purchased, etc. It helps me budget and get gifts all year long for people (as well as remembering where they were purchased). I wouldn't go a Christmas now without it. :scene:

I am so very lucky to have the family and friends that I do. I love them all so much!! They are the reason I love Christmas and every other holiday so much. I am planning a surprise party for my mother and father's 60th birthdays. What could I possibly do to let them know how much I love and appreciate them...they will surely be surprised!! :hbd:

I am going to listen to Christmas music as I fall asleep tonight...hopefully I feel better when I wake up tomorrow.

I might try out the app on my phone for organizing my Christmas lists. But I'll probably stick to my paper notebook and pen. It's what I'm used to. :D

I now have two job interviews next week! The one on Monday is for a School Secretary at the International English School. That is a more realisitc option. The one on Friday is for a 'studieadministratör', a bit beyond what I have been doing. No clue why they called me. Getting that job really would be a like Christmas in February!

Just another quick check-in with all my Chistmas-loving friends! My situation is complicated right now, and I seldom have internet access, but you are always in my heart!

Hugs
