The wind outside is unbelievable. The chimney makes a lot of noise and I bet Amadeus is freaking out. Earlier today I walked to the post office thinking that as long as the wind doesn’t stop me from walking, it’s not too bad. :) I mailed a Xmas gift to Katrina, Australia. Late as usual but I can’t break the tradition now can I? I also fetched a package for Dad which contained a present for his (and Mum’s) godson — one of them, the youngest of them. “Hyttynen” (mosquito). Yup. One of those.

Yesterday I went to see the baby of a high school friend of mine with another high school friend of mine with whom I’ve been in touch after HS though. The one with the baby boy I hadn’t. The baby (will be christened in Jan, name a secret for now) was soooooo beautiful!! Or should I say handsome :) We, excluding the baby, talked for 4 whole hours about all that had happened after high school. That was nice. I’m waiting for a message in Jan telling me the name :)

The other day, probably on my way to meet the high school friend, I started thinking about a proper blog topic and I remember being excited about it. Not having had my notebook nor any other paper-y thing to write on, all I can remember now is “Alkaseltzer”. And reminiscing on that doesn’t bring ANYTHING back from what I was thinking… Actually, *what* was I thinking?!

So, Xmas is coming. Feels weird, as if the year has gone by really really fast this time. I didn’t even buy me a Christmas calendar this year — first time. I’m happy that I didn’t have awfully hard time finding presents this year. Well, I cheated a little: I asked some people what they wanted.

Anyway, I can’t wait for Xmas eve (yup, we weird Finns celebrate it on the eve). Carrot casserole, sweet potato casserole. Oh, and presents :) I know we’re only getting a couple this year (we’re getting old… I know) but still, I can’t wait. I can’t wait to see which game I get!!! :mrgreen:

Guess who has a terminology project due the end of the year. Wa-hey. :neutral:
