The Window, Again!
From Michelle, looking forward to the end of 2005...
So, 2005. Not the best year of my life as some of you may have guessed by now. Remember when this happened to my window?
Well, you are not going to believe this but...
Guess what happened in the wee, small hours of last Saturday morning?
Yes. It happened, again, and there I was at 1.30. a.m. on Saturday morning cleaning up the mess.
Poor Teenager #2, who was badly shaken by the event, has taken a vow never to open a window in the apartment, or, in fact, in any kind of building, ever again.
Wonder why nobody warned us not to open the bloody windows when we moved in? Also, interestingly enough (and I know this because I asked Nice Concierege about this after window-shattering event Number Two) the reason that Big Company who owns this block hasn't installed safety glass is because the current frames are too weak to support the safety glass, and it would cost them an absolute fortune. So apparently it is an unspoken rule that nobody opens a window...
On the bright side, my new oven/microwave combi arrived as promised on the right day at the right time. Yay! Lady Luck is finally smiling on me!
Also on the bright side, Good Friend Dan took me to a specially-for-restaurateurs huge supermarket to buy my turkey. See, the regular supermarkets over here don't stock turkeys, or even chickens bigger than about three or four pounds.
So, I have my turkey, I have the oven to cook it in, and...I've just downloaded the manufacturer's English instructions...also, yay!
Plus, Teenager #1 will be arriving from America on Christmas Morning and the whole family will be together. Yay again!
I am counting my blessings, I really am.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Prettige Kerstdagen One And All :-)

Glad to hear you will all be together for the holidays. My youngest daughter will fly in from Arkansas on Christmas Day (she's been vacationing with my aunt) and I can hardly wait! Have a wonderful Christmas and have you considered Plexiglass for Teenager #2's windows? Not heavy like safety glass and it won't shatter if a strong gust hits the window...
